Thanks for the ideas, chriton227!

If there was a fifth that was unique in any way, I'd think it would either be a hybrid type that is a pretty even split of two roles, which is already a common thing, or character intended to excel in non-combat encounters with a significant skill repertoire.

So, I tried to contact Wizards about this, but I got a pretty cryptic response that felt to me like they were really saying, "hey, we don't have an answer for that, feel free to handle it how you prefer." Now, let's assume you have one character in the party who is trained in Heal and is a...

If you want the specific, literal rule on it, encounters end when all combatants on one side are captured, dead, fleeing or unconscious AND the opposing side has completed a short or extended rest. So technically you would take any ongoing damage, benefit from bonuses, suffer from penalties, act...

Thanks for the replies, all!

Sure, but is a single torch and flint enough to do the trick? It seems like one player's single turn can likely take care of it without needing to have any special abilities or gear since pretty much everyone has some torches and a flint. It's definitely an urgent issue, but unless the party is...

For those who use trolls in your campaigns, do you even bother with the "can only be killed with fire/acid" deal? It's a cool facet of trolls, but PC's are bound to say "oh, well, we have torches and flint, no problem". Thoughts?

Thanks for mentioning the glossary, Spatula, I didn't think to look there. That answered any other questions I had. Thanks everyone!

I'm looking at the Invoker power "Symbol of Hope" (Utility/6 from PHB2) which conjures a symbol in an unoccupied square. My questions are: Can it be attacked? How many hit points does it have? Does it use its creator's defenses? Can it just be picked up and therefore removed from play by an...

Thanks for the clarification on the reasoning, good info to have. I actually run things looser on the magic item usage, because I've never been a fan of the idea you have magic items you may never end up using, because while they have a nice daily power, some other item(s) trump it in your...

I'm personally not going to use this rarity system in my campaign. I will take it into account as to what I dispense out, perhaps, but as we can set what's available to buy and the enchant magic item is limited to the ritual user's level or less, I think there's some pretty good safeguards in...

I definitely take alignment into account in my characters's decisions, and if I think of a conflict after I've made a decision, if I am in a position where changing that decision is reasonable, fair and non-obstructive to the game, I typically will do so. But, I think it's important to clarify...

I really suggest breaking it into separate groups, either on the same night and find another DM, or if you have the time, on separate nights. That gives you two perfectly sized groups. It's been my experience that 8 is hard to manage and beyond 8 is incredibly difficult. It's possible, of...
