[QUOTE="D'karr, post: 4242360, member: 336"] You are not kidding. I was reading The Crusader (March Issue) two nights ago, and very unusually, I had tears welling up in my eyes. Okay, 3isms to avoid. Charging is a standard action and does not have to happen in a straight line. You can move before the charge or after. It provokes OA if you move through a threatened square. If you are a kobold you could shift, move up to your speed and then charge up to your speed; all in different directions. Reach weapons do not threaten except the squares adjacent to the wielder. Shifting is a move action except for kobolds who can shift as a minor action. Also take a look at the kobold dragonshields. They can essentially shift twice (move & minor), into a flank and attack; all in the same round. Opportunity attacks are limited per opponent, not per turn. So you may take Opportunity attacks against multiple foes that provoke, but only one per opponent. Immediate actions are limited to one per turn and cannot happen on your turn, except when specifically stated. Action points are limited to once per encounter for PCs but solo monsters that have more than 1 can use all of them in an encounter. In 4e movement around the battlefield should be encouraged. Some abilities only kick in when you move. And kobolds love to shift, make sure you use their tactics to their advantage. Remember to look at the abilities of different monsters in an encounter. Dragonshields can shift when someone moves to engage them. Literally they can avoid being hit by shifting away. But they can do so only once per turn as it is an immediate action. Hope this all helps. I had a blast running my group through this adventure. [/QUOTE]
