If you're ready to put quite a bit of time changing the monsters and adding in a lot of story around the module, they can be useful. As they are written though they are mainly hack-fests with the story mostly happening at the beginning and end of each module. What's more the encounters are...

Did you multiclass? If so, using which feat? Or make him a hybrid? Did you pick up Paragon Multi-Classing as a paragon path? All these might explain some of the inconsistencies you are reporting. The at-wills you are seeing would be the psion at-wills for those levels, obviously.

I would allow it but require an acrobatics check to make sure he lands on his feet, as he's teleporting with a momentum.

This has come up in my game, and I've allowed teleporting people to make an acrobatics check to stand up after the teleport. It doesn't happen very often, and I just think it's kinda cool.

Yeah, Cloak of Courage is too strong as it is. My main problem with it was that it allowed sort of pre-healing without spending surges. So what I did was adding the "Healing" keyword, but making it cost a surge: Effect: Each target can choose to spend a healing surge. If he does, he gains...

I am still unable to use the online character builder for any serious work, I've tried using Safari, Chrome, IE. It's very unstable and most of the features I need don't work.

I'd like to point out that the Healer's Brooch does NOT work with the Hospitaler feature. The Healer's Brooch specifically mentions "When you use a power", and this heal is NOT a power. Other +healing items probably have similar wording that can matter a lot here.

The only Essentials book I've bought is the Monster Vault. We've integrated some essentials changes, namely those that have been put into the Character Builder, but I have had no specific request for it so far, and I wouldn't want my players to change their characters mid-campaign like this...

The cunning bard in our campaign runs around with Staggering note, cutting words and uses blunder a lot (Resourceful Magician PP lets him regain it, and the like). With the right setup, there is often more damage done during his turn than during the striker's turn. The key to this is the...

Mostly curious about rules regarding: - Implements - Weapliments

He would do a spot check which is a minor action to try to find him. It uses perception, which most monsters should show as a stat on their stat block. If not, the base bonus for perception is their wisdom bonus. The DC would normally be his last stealth result.

Strangely enough, I've had the inverse problem. My players have been mostly humans, with an Eladrin and a Kalashtar in the mix, but the Kalashtar was raised by humans. We recently got a Goliath to replace a human and he sticks out a lot :-) Following that, I've used a similar nomenclature to...

I try to at least memorize what has changed, if not the details, so that I can quickly lookup the new rule in the errata. I keep all the errata files on my laptop (which I use extensively as I DM), and I can do quick searches for a game element and it will pop up the PDFs with those words in...

That's what I thought you had! It's interesting that although most of my group is made of atheists, we have one staunch catholic. Considering the evil organisation they've been fighting so far is based off the damn catholic church I thought he'd have problems with it but he seems to take it in...

4e is designed with the idea that everyone in the party should be the same level. A normal 5-member level 1 party would have an encounter target xp of 500xp. That's 5 level 1 monsters, or 2 level 2 monsters and 1 level 1 monster. You have a lot of options. PCs can fight monsters of n+1 or n+2...

That's funny because in my campaign, the PCs have recently heard a slightly different story of the origin myth which states quite clearly that all the gods were once mortals who absorbed the essence and power of an extremely powerful being who had created the world and thus became gods. Of...

I would like to see an updated MM1 & MM2 mostly, but I don't really see the point for the other books.

I mean encounter level +4 for hard ones, once or twice a day. I usually budget around EL + 1.5, EL + 2 for most encounters in a day. My group has similitudes to yours, and the way you can challenge them is by attrition, by winnowing down their Healing surges and powers slowly, maybe, but so...

This here is your first problem. Characters should see a minimum of 4-6 encounters per day and more. It's your job to give them incentives to keep going or to penalize them if they rest too often. DMG2 p.52+ has suggestions to help pacing. Structure the encounters and the story together so they...

Asking for a "complete and final errata" is like asking when the OED will publish their "final edition" with "every word included". These yearly editions with whole new words are very annoying to keep up with. Notice how latin dictionaries don't get new words? That's because it's a dead...
