i thought the brutal effect only applies to the damage directly from the weapon, so whenever there is something like 1[W] and not to extra crit damage?

hiho! yeah, so what do you think would be the best magic enchantment for a 2H execution axe in heroic tier for a dragonborn great weapon fighter? One of my players plays one currently, and he is wielding a +2 vicious greataxe atm. the background of her character is that the dragonborn used to...

the fighter in my dnd group took boundless endurance. you know it's a "stance" ability, which means it works for 5 min OR for the rest of the encounter. so everytime you get bloodied you get the regeneration again. it's just too good not to take as long as you have the con to make it...

ok, so i turned into an elite and then applied the "savage berserker" template, and it really seems to me that now the encounter will be really interesting while staying fair (kinda^^). Zombie Hulk Lvl 6 (Solo Brute Savage Berserker) HP 250/125 AC 20 Fort 27 Ref 15 Will 18 action points: 1...

jep, thanks for the ideas! but still, how do i deal with a "recharge 6" ability if i turn the monster into an elite? is it enough to give it an additional "recharge wehen first bloodied" like i would do with an encounter power? anyway, the environment is set (large hall with columns) and i'll...

Hi Guys! So i tried to create a memorable solo monster, namely a zombie hulk solo brute who should be lvl 6. What i did was decrease the level of the zombie hulk from the MM by 2 (adjusting defenses & damage accordingly) and then i turned it into a solo according to DMG 185. this is what i...

i have a question on this topic... i have a lvl 3 monster of the monster manual with lets say 40 hitpoints, if i make it an elite with a template, it has less hitpoints than if i just turn it into an elite without a template (DM 185)? i also have the same problem with solos btw.^^

right, they probably forgot that the chieftain is medium in size and not small :D

yeah i already reduced the upcoming encounters down to only 1 (the final one) but sending reinforcements sounds a little too much like "i want you to survive this". in addition, when a NPC party comes along i know what my players would do.... attack them. ;-) tell you what i'll do, i'll keep...

i won't kill them just because they played the way they did, but the odds are against them, and although i might grant them a little help, it will definitely not be a walk in the park to find the exit. i will somehow let them know that if they want to get out alive they'll have to play a lot...

well what i did was i started the day a little different than the "usual" day in the lifes of adventurers. you know, usually they wake up at an inn, have breakfast & chat, then go shopping and finally find something to do... *yawn* so now i let them wake up noticing that the inn is in fact on...

actually this is a great idea, thanks a ton!

yeah according to the rules they would have to wait 10 more hours to take an extended rest. it just feels strange to allow them in the middle of a dungeon to "wait" for 10 hours twiddling their thumbs and then go to bed. ;-) oh and the way back to town is blocked.

hi folks! so yesterday i continued DMing my home made adventure that will eventually lead to KotS. Now I have a huge problem. The group consists of a Paladin, a Fighter, a Wizard, a Rogue & a Warlock. My players fought bravely through the catacombs of Fallcrest, unluckily stumbling over every...

thanks for the quick replies! ok I think I'll build in their hangovers somehow without giving them penalties. also thank you for reminding me that i have to think of alternatives if they fail the challenge. concerning my "window problem" I think I'll just let them wake up in one of the finer...

Hi Folks! MINOR SPOILER AHEAD So last session my evil aligned players finished the "mini adventure" in Fallcrest which is presented in the DMG, they defeated the dragon and then headed to the "Silver Unicorn Inn" to party & get seriously drunk. Now my plan is to set the Inn on fire and lure...

thanks for the answers ;-) I probably will rule that cutting himself with his scythe (which is on his back) will result in at least 1d4 damage, which is half of the damage a scythe does. and it will probably be either a minor or even a move action (so he probably can't do it every round), but...

Hi Everyone! I just recently started DMing the new "mini-adventure" included in the new DMG which will lead my group eventually into KotS. After the first playsession, however, a lot of questions occured to me. 1) Intimidate My players decided they wanted to play evil characters, so I let...
