Dragon 399 - Ampersand

[Aegeri]

I find it hard to judge how the world is for adventuring from the map. I do hope they flesh it out.

In fairness, we need to bear in mind this map is used for a board game that is like Risk: Not DnD. We'll have to hope for a more DnD like map and not one suited for a board game to really get those details!

I think the intention is that the creature literally rips open holes and attacks its enemies at a distance through them.

The Melee 10 attacks / Artillery designation aren't the stat block error. The recharge-when-bloodied power being exactly the same as the at-will power is.

Yeah I just noticed that on a second look. Presumably it's meant to be a double attack. Whoops on that one!

You are correct!
(I thought it would be annoyingly fun).

Atm we have only some lands described. (like Sarthil, Karkoth or Nentir Vale) This map of the boardgame is only the beginning. I am quite sure, next year we will see a 160p setting book with full description of the Nerathsetting. Its time.

Not to worry--the error only seems to appear on the web article and not in the final paginated version. The power's effect is actually: "Effect: The boggle uses dimension claw twice."

You would be right as well! Hopefully the final version has that recharge power corrected. What is that supposed to actually do? Just get another attack?

Edit: And there you go, answering questions while I'm replying making me look all silly. >: (

That is the "boggle reply-post trick," for the Boggle Interwebs Trickster. While there are more boggles to come in MVNV, I have a feeling that one didn't make the cut. ;-)

He'll just get published in Dungeon anyway!

I only now noticed that the Ampersand column skipped an issue. Can't say I missed it much. If they want to chop "content" from Dragon, that would be a good place to start.

In all fairness though, the boggle preview is fun.
