On the Set of 4th Edition: The Red Dragon’s Interview
Wizards just posted the fourth cartoon for "On the Set of 4th Edition". It's not quite as funny as the Mind Flayer and Tiefling/Gnome, but head on over there and then leave a comment below with what you think.
I really hope they continue to make these cartoons, but if you like them and want to see more of this artist's work, head over to BiteyCastle.com to see more of his funny work.
D&D 4th Edition Rules – Things I’ve Noticed
I was just rereading through some of the rulebooks and caught a few things that stuck out to me that I might have first missed the first time.
- Charge
Is a standard action that allows you to move and take a basic melee attack in the same action. So move then charge is a valid action, or a shift then charge, as long as you are 2 squares away from where you started. - Commander's Strike
The warlord must be within range of the ally and enemy target with his melee weapon. Link to Q&A. I know this seems weird and totally gimps my tactics with my warlord, but WotC has spoken. - Ranged attacks against adjacent enemies
PHB p. 290 states Ranged and Area Powers Provoke: If an enemy adjacent to you uses a ranged power or an area power, you can make an opportunity attack against that enemy.
This includes ranged magic abilities such as Magic Missle and Eldritch Blast. - Area Attacks
PHB p. 271 states multiple attack rolls but only one damage roll.
That's all I can think of right now, so leave a comment if there is anything you want a clarification on and I will do my best to look it up.
Wizards releases D&D Miniatures Adventure
Wizards of the Coast released a cool little adventure for D&D minis that can be played solo or 2 players. I looked it over and it seems pretty cool. I really like the idea of involving a short story with your D&D mini battles.
It can be played with any minis you have and comes with the cards for you to print out, in case you don't have the exact ones needed.
I will have to give it a play through, but I like the concept and look forward to more adventures published this way. Download it here.
