comment How to keep track of statuses and conditions?
@Baelnorn They are actually 1"x1". We don't have any space issues even with a pack of 6-8 critters all adjacent to one another.

comment What would be the proper mechanics and stats for playing a siege?
Posting questions here from twitter is a great idea. That's a good step toward graduation, IMO.

comment How can I depict three dimensional combats?
@Adriano That is awesome. Maybe I'll build something similar with adjustable platforms for variable heights...

How do you handle minis that are in the same horizontal square at different heights?

@Baelnorn thanks!

comment What happens when making a dying, surgeless character use her second wind?
@Erik There are some powers and items that allow characters to regain hit points as if they had spent a healing surge. With some editing, there could be a valid question in here somewhere :)

Could someone add the DDI link to Second Wind just for clarity? I don't have access at this time.

Doesn't second wind require the use of a healing surge? If the barbarian doesn't have any, she can't use it.

+1 for the penny-pinching drink bottle ring idea! Love it!

comment What are the rules for forced movement into and out of water and flying?
Your answer to #1 makes sense, but I don't think any of the others are supported by the rules you quoted. Maybe I'm missing something? I'm also unclear on the definition of "earthbound" -- Unable to fly or not currently flying?

comment How can my party be effective without a dedicated healer?
I wasn't referring to the player attitude so much as the character attitudes. My party likes our PC's to have a personality, and our fighter has a very reckless one. I really don't think that is going to be a big issue, I just threw the question our there. And it's funny you mention that, my cleric actually WAS our fighter's personal healer! (our backgrounds intersect and we worshiped the same deity)

@Quinn Murphy edited the OP to include that information.

I did mean warlord. Fixed.

comment Dazing as an opportunity attack or readied action
Thanks for the update and analysis of other options. Regarding your question, we treat those situations normally because they are intended to negate conditions before they take effect, as opposed to the situation I described where it's a simple tactical decision that can negate the effect.

I get that (and honestly I agree with you). However, the majority of my party feels differently and I am trying to find a logical compromise.

comment Dazing as an opportunity attack or readied action
I see your point. However readying an attack only to have it not trigger is a little less punishing than expending a power and having it do next to nothing.

Lots of good ideas here. I'm not sure if I want to give up my current Paragon Path but I will be using a lot of this. Thanks!

comment How can a Monk be made effective against flying/ranged monsters?
Noted. If you want to stay within the rules you can always charge (assuming you can move closer with each square) and get a melee basic off before landing with your remaining move action. Throw in an action point and things get interesting!

Cool - I will definitely be grabbing the impostor armor. The other two situations don't apply for me, but thanks for the ideas!

I can't access it here either. Can anyone confirm this?
