[QUOTE="Ginnel, post: 4325332, member: 66058"] [b]Magic Markers![/b] On the subject of magic marking, my dragonborn fighter has multiclassed wizard (for rituals really) when he uses his breath or thunderwave each encounter it goes a bit like this ---------------------------------------------------------------- Player: right I'm gonna use dragonbreath to cover these 9 squares, which should get those 3 kobolds in it. Player (as character): Vash breathes in quickly exhaling a freezing cloud of ice and pure cold air....[some rolls later] DM: One of the dragon headed beings freezes in place and teeters backwards falling to the ground (he's out of the fight) the other two have slight layer of frost on their weapons/hide (you do damage to them) Player: Vash knocks his sword and shield together giving out a menacing stare to the frosty looking kobolds in front of him. (those two kobolds I just hit get marked as well for their troubles) ---------------------------------------------------------------- I think that works as a nice description, thunderwave I just describe as a lightning breath attack instead, with a few gestures and magical mumbles before hand. Other taunts include quickly running the characters tongue over the flat of the blade, pointing towards his enemies and roaring out a challenge and also the Neo-esque beckoning with his hand. My thoughts on the original context of the post is that the monsters should know all status changes and effects of powers and class features. Q:Should the monsters know that the fighters used his combat challenge for the round as well? A:sure the fighters struck a blow at one of your allies with his attention distracted you carefully retreat/maneouver around him, but if you move as normal your still providing the oppurtunity to get attacked again.
