By day (and night, far too often) I'm the Operations Manager at Digital Motorworks.

Most of the rest of the time I'm with my family or gaming, or thinking about gaming.

Currently playing a 14th level Shifter Paladin in a 4th edition DnD campaign. I'm also just starting to run a campaign of my own.

comment Monster Manual 1 - Is it balanced? Should I balance it?
@Quick_Spoon - no problem. I hadn't noticed your English, it sounds just fine to me. Feel free to jump on chat it's a better interface for real time talking :)

comment Monster Manual 1 - Is it balanced? Should I balance it?
So you're a newbie DM (in 4e at least) running a campaign for new players? Wow, that's scary and awesome. You should consider asking questions on how best to do that. I'm sure you'll get some good tips.

comment Monster Manual 1 - Is it balanced? Should I balance it?
@Quick_Spoon - thats a bigger question. I guess the short answer is that your weapon strongly influences what powers you choose as the powers often give benefits for using certain weapons. Those benefits are often tied to the stats that are keyed to that weapon group. If your stats/weapon/powers aren't matched up then you are well short of optimized. So short of optimized that I'd strongly urge you not to make any sweeping judgments on the balance of 4e based on such unmatched characters. I wouldn't call the character I posted above optimized at all, just acceptable.

comment Monster Manual 1 - Is it balanced? Should I balance it?
@Quick_Spoon - yes, that is one of the big changes :) With a great sword, your to hit would be one higher though. The weapon influences the choice of at-wills so not matching your attribute to your weapon isn't going to provide a good comparison to judge the effectiveness of the monsters.

comment Lythic and earthglide movement
What did you give up to balance the abilities of the Lythic? Is it just 4 levels, for the CR4 of the Lythic?

If you're going fishing for high level adventurers, these books make pretty good bait. :)
