When he said Mystery Writer and i saw Austin I guess i just assumed it was you ;-)

My ToH experience. I had a similar yet different experience. Our DM set the whole thing up as a quest to travel to Acereraks tomb and vanquish the evil and rescue something or other from the tomb. We went through all the trouble of following clues to the well hidden dungeon. Went inside and...

I thought this was a gaming message board, not a cooking show!! I keed I keed

6 PCs of 6th level. Lair used to belong to an Ancient Blue, now is home to her daughter a Young Blue. The dragon employs Troglodytes as vassals since they are the nearest intelligent humanoids she had to work with. This should only be 3 encounters. I dont have the maps in a format I can put...

maybe I am missing the joke, but why should being a Swordmage make you qualified for Ranger feats?

Based on the fact that there a couple of terrain hazards in the DMG that use sustain Standard I would say that sustaining does not provoke an OA. You would look silly taking a swipe at an avalanche or a rock slide. Thats the ruling for my game, YMMV of course.

These are purely my rulings in my own game and in no way officious...er...official. No No No Yes, as do allies

very minor nitpick. The last three items are from Dungeon and it is spelled Dunfeon in the spreadsheet.

No No Only if the power has weapon as a keyword, at which point your not using them as implements anyway. So, strictly answering the question...No.

So, we ran the session last night, including the skill challenge and it went really well. I see room for improvement on my part and the players parts but it went very weel. The ranger snuck up to the door of the mercs barracks and overheard a tense discussion consisting of 5 seperate voices...

Thanks guys. Great suggestions. I will be monitoring this all day and print it out after work. Originally when the party approaches the merc barracks they were going to hear the sound of combat, which in reality is sparring, but now I am definitely going with an argument. I think I will...

Party is 6 PCs all level 2 They are investigating a dungeon complex near a keep (not that one). Inside the area they are currently investigating is a band of NPC mercs hired by the someone in the keep to help stage a coup and do other nefarious things. They are very near where the mercs are...
