:O

Then you're gonna love my 8th level feat choice, Doom. It's a new variation on the ol' Jack of All Trades.

Bard of All Trades
Gain a +3 feat bonus to all untrained skill checks.

The first Paragon feat I'm likely to take at level 11:

War Wizardry
Attacks versus allies take a -5 penalty and all damage done to allies is halved.

There are currently 23 different Paragon Paths available to me, thanks to multiclassing.

S'gonna be nuts is all I'm sayin'.

I'm looking forward to getting into combat in Shawn's game this week, for the first time in over a month.

True. Unfortunately, my primary means of emergency locomotion is teleportation. I still chose to take the protective Shield utility over the quicker Expeditious Retreat. I don't wanna die and honestly the more time spent in the maze the better.

I did opt out of my Wizard's Escape in favour of Fire Shield though.

So hey, dumb question.

Did we loot that crown and sword? Or did we leave it in the shrine? I know that I at some point intended to loot it, but I can't honestly remember.

:eek:hwell:

Run? Run?! I intend to teach the Yagga-Kong why you don't fuck with the Morninglord.

I'm fairly certain we looted it, but we were so distracted by things that we didn't bother asking about the items.
 
Shawnacy's 4E D&D Game, part 2!

Yeah I seem to remember looting it but quickly stowing it while I set up our protective runes.
 
Shawnacy's 4E D&D Game, part 2!

Hmmm. I don't remember the crown being looted. But I may have missed someone saying they did. I thought because it was giving off a necromantic charge that no one touched it.
The sword was broken. The blade stuck in the creatures head (and crown) and only the handle and a busted piece of the blade were in the hand of the mummified man who slayed the vampire.
 
Shawnacy's 4E D&D Game, part 2!

I think we still looted the crown but never tried it out BECAUSE of its necrotic charge. Given that we were looking to spend the night and thought that we may have been attacked at any moment (given Assrack's propensity for making undead crawl out of the walls in these tombs) we were pretty preoccupied with our own safety at the time.
 
Shawnacy's 4E D&D Game, part 2!

Alright. Well you will find that the crown is pretty much destroyed and will never be useful as jewelry in it's current state. You'll probably have to have it melted down to make anything from it.

I have a suggestion for Grendmir that he may not have considered. I thought of this while playing one of my Tuesday night characters, a warforged fighter.

Consider getting a ranged weapon, even a really cheap one like a sling or hell, a handful of rocks.

Why?

You can use your mark, Combat Challenge on a hit OR a miss. There may be situations where it's beneficial to mark someone from far away, even just to give that target a -2 to attack any allies who might be nearer, if not directly encourage that target to recklessly approach you.

I realized this when my party came into combat against a team of halflings, one of whom was sniping from a treetop. We had our hands full with the ones on the ground, so I decided to huck a rock at the sniper. I missed due to low Dex and improvised ranged weapon penalties, but he had a -2 to ranged attack everyone that turn until the party could deal with him more directly.

If your trident is magical it will return if you throw it as Improvised Range Weapon. Or try spitting tobacco juice at him.

Nice to have the option though, even if it's a case of minor-minor-attack.

You still got 12 hours. :biggrin:

Pull out the Monster Manual. Find the last page in it, and find a random number generator that lets you put in a "from - to". Put in the first monster to the last monster's page, and let it go! Then give us that monster. :D
 
Shawnacy's 4E D&D Game, part 2!

Meh. It's easier just to open up the Monster Builder and pick something that's a little bit lower or a little bit higher, then relevel it accordingly.
 
Shawnacy's 4E D&D Game, part 2!

So it will be a monster, then?

Hmmm.

If I were DMing this, I know which monster I would default to.

The book doesn't give the description of the monster?
 
Shawnacy's 4E D&D Game, part 2!

I have a choice between 2 feats to take. Both of 'em are pretty awesome.

By the way, here's my loot:

Robe of Contingency +2
+2 AC
(Daily - Healing, Teleportation) Immediate Reaction. Use this power when you are bloodied and an attack damages you. Teleport 6 squares and you can spend a healing surge.
