One of my players (an invoker) has a daily utility called the "Walls of Hestavar" which basically lets him raise a 2 square high wall, 10 squares long. For a particular encounter that I have planned for the party, monsters will be throwing Alchemical Acid or Fire (in vials) at the party. Now...

I don't begrudge what the invoker is doing, I understand he's just doing his duty as a controller, I just want to make sure the party is adequately challenged. I've seen a few fights now that as the DM I expected to be pretty tough and the party barely left with a bloody nose.

Basically I'm seeing a lot of Pure Glow, Chains of Carceri(sp?), Four Fold Invocation of Doom, Thunderbolt of the Heavens, Winds of Celestia, he also teleports a lot. Being the player that he is he puts almost no effort into dealing damage because he doesn't have too (mostly because of the team...

A very well though out rogue striker, a dwarven fighter who functions as a tank and a sorcerer

The party invoker is just crushing my encounters. Unfortunately the player is a D&D vet and a self described power gamer. He knows his class inside and out and I'm having a tough time setting up encounters that push the party to their limits. Any suggestions for hampering a level 15 group...

Dog shaped golem, that's a good idea...I suppose if I wanted to go overboard with it all I have the PC's discover a planar sphere (like in baulders gate 2) for them to hop around the planes in. :p

Perhaps I'm not as up on all the races as much as a DM should be, I'm fairly unfamiliar with Devas, though I have player who's been using one for a bit now, so I'm learning about them as he fights, RP's ect. They have something like "memories of a thousand lifetimes" and if they die they...

That's a good suggestion, not just bare supports and a very utilitarian look like Dwarves would probably have, but carving bricks into the walls and twisting hallways that follow the flow of the ore vein.

The PCs are on a quest to collect a large amount of Mithril...I was thinking of using the much rumored about elven ruins in Hullack Forest (Cormyr) as actually the entrance to an Elven Mithril mine (instead of the typical dwarven). I was also thinking that after a Mine cart ride (skill...

Wildshape Druid stuff, got it..that seems like a good sugguestion, thanks. ;)

I don't think the player is looking for particular skills regen/resistance ect from being a werebear, its more an RP thing, so really..I guess I shouldn't worry about stats too much, just throw in a claw attack at-will and maybe something else

The monster manuals do certainly have werewolves, wererats ect for the party to encounter, what I am looking for is rules for turning a PC into a lycanthrope which isn't quite the same.

I have a player who's expressed interest in seeing his dwarf fighter become a werebear. I'm not sure how to tack that onto his character, suppose I'll have to homebrew something that fits, not sure where to start.

Or lycanthropes in general I suppose, anyone know if rules have been published and if so, in which book? Or perhaps there is an online resource you could point me to?

Mostly trying to figure out what kind of damage they should do...5d12? 4d6, I mean, I've really no idea.

Books that have rules for them? Or any idea what the damage ect should be?

As a DM, do you have the gods directly active in your setting(s)? Do they get involved with PCs? Hmm, more likely the god would act through a divine agent. I can see how it would be possible for a god to act directly, but most likely only if one of the PC's had managed to become that god's...

I would have kicked him by now, if he's draining all the fun out of it then he needs to go. What is the point of playing D&D? To have fun, if he's making everyone miserable, then you've lost the fun. I understand it's hard because he's your friend but...aren't they other players your friends too?

The party has become kind of involved with an undead civil war that has been brewing between the liches of the Twisted Rune. The first attack of this civil war had just begun and the PC's were witness to a Dracolich doing battle with a female lich whom is his rival. The female lich lost (but...

Suggestions? I'm not sure how to manage cannon damage in 4E, or balista or catapults either... They count as ranged damage? Would that add dex pluses to hit with them? How much damage would they do? I've no idea. Thanks in advance.
