This will be my first time being the DM (well I did some White Wolf DM'ing, but that's different) Frankly I've been unimpressed with all the WotC campaigns, expecally since none of them really go on for more than 4 levels.<br /><br />So as any good new DM I did my research and came accross The Rise of the Runelords and was getting down to start converting it from 3.5 to 4e. Then I found this blog and I must say I am very impressed. Keep up the good work.<br /><br />p.s.

I am interning in Washington, DC, and do not have access to my regular gaming groups or my desktop (which I use to work on the project). I will be returning home in less than a month, however, and when I do I have plans to continue from where I left off. I apologize if that makes it difficult to use my material.

I've decided that in my game, I'll also add Vorel's presence as a hazard to this combat and run the whole thing in the vent area (which I modified somewhat - see my comment on the blog post talking about the vent). It'll be a skill challenge to disable the hazard - it'll get worse on a failure.Mysteriahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14118801199781538068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3053578970687646.post-49678125363800528192010-04-25T06:07:00.228-07:002010-04-25T06:07:00.228-07:00I ended up combining the two ghoul caves (using de...I ended up combining the two ghoul caves (using de-leveled ghouls) from the original AP and the bat cave (2 shadowhunter bats) with the vent, adding them along the slope of the vent. The players managed to have their floating lantern snatched up by a ghoul, which was promptly attacked by the bats and that ended in the monsters doing half the players' job. The lantern and a ghoul also promptly slid down the slope, and one ghoul has already been pushed over the edge. They're still in the middle of the fight, so I hope for some more falling, sliding and pushing around.<br /><br />(note: My players are still 4th level as I've been cutting out unimportant fights, e.g. agains the rat swarms in the basement, because I'm running it in PbP and each additional combat makes progress through the story that much slower.)Mysteriahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14118801199781538068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3053578970687646.post-31539968640934835792010-04-25T06:01:43.765-07:002010-04-25T06:01:43.765-07:00I ran this as written and it went smoothly.I ran this as written and it went smoothly.Mysteriahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14118801199781538068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3053578970687646.post-63633520927378540072010-04-25T06:00:39.395-07:002010-04-25T06:00:39.395-07:00I've finally gotten around to run this part of...I've finally gotten around to run this part of the AP and in the end I made it so that the spirits of those people who died in the house were still trapped inside it: Iesha as ghost, Kassanda, Lorey, Traver and Cyralie in their respective portraits, Aldern as ghoul and Vorel as menacing spirit in the caves below. The characters could free each of these spirits by various methods. Iesha needed to be fought before she was ready to talk and her shawl (from the haunting) needed to be recovered. For Lorey and Kassand, it was a heal check or healing power channelled into them. Traver's portrait had to be stabbed by his own knife (from the haunting) and Cyralie's portrait had to be burnt or smashed to pieces. Each of those spirits also gave a magical item as a reward, often as an upgrade to an existing item. I wanted to encourage players to explore the house more and also get a tangible reward from it. I think it worked out nicely.Mysteriahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14118801199781538068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3053578970687646.post-55993041214246797942010-04-02T00:31:15.624-07:002010-04-02T00:31:15.624-07:00I considered this when designing these powers. Bea...I considered this when designing these powers. Bear in mind that these are essentially "slotless" magic items the party is receiving. They should be useful, but they should not push the power level of the party significantly beyond what is expected of them at that level. As you point out, untyped bonuses to damage can be obtained on the weapon/implement itself, and the runeforged enchantments do not replace those.<br /><br />If your party does use Iron Armbands/Bracers of Archery, then they might not see a significant increase in damage against the appropriate creatures. That's fine. Each enchantment contains an additional property or power.<br /><br />Of course, these are all merely suggestions. If you feel that your party could use the damage boost, making these bonuses untyped might provide just what they need in certain encounters.Scotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17817454535103324280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3053578970687646.post-85856979529722043952010-03-31T13:37:45.684-07:002010-03-31T13:37:45.684-07:00Well, I just read this post (and know other ones) ...Well, I just read this post (and know other ones) but the issue I see is that Iron Armbands of Power/ Bracers of Archery? are a pretty common choice... and they provide an item bonus to damage rolls. <br /><br />If you ban those items in your game, then the properties are fine... otherwise, they aren't actually useful (assuming your players take said Armbands)<br /><br />Perhaps an untyped bonus, like the staff of ruin?Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08471077657501430545noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3053578970687646.post-53919092067070577662010-03-15T14:59:21.802-07:002010-03-15T14:59:21.802-07:00Hey, nice to hear you are back!Hey, nice to hear you are back!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05360833495479600758noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3053578970687646.post-65765441982673122102010-03-01T02:31:16.740-08:002010-03-01T02:31:16.740-08:00I'd go for a generic Mirror Monster and let th...I'd go for a generic Mirror Monster and let them copy the power or attack made by their counterpart each and every turn using their own statistics.

If you tack a class template onto a base monster at this level, they'll have an at-will power, two encounter powers, a daily power, and two utility powers from that class. As long as you're making sure to pick powers that the mirrored PC actually possesses, it should feel very much like they're fighting a copy of themselves.<br /><br />It looks like this is probably the route I'll go.

Personally, I wouldn't bother with providing templates for all classes - that's a hell of a lot of work. And I kknow that when I get to running it I'll be ignoring any stat blocks provided and generating my own.
