It's just (Standard) (Minor) etc. Is it for the encounter? Rechargable? Wut? I notice none of the attacks state how often it can be used. It’s just (Standard) (Minor) etc. Is it for the encounter?

For one, it means I have to actually do all that work of converting them! Which, granted, is not a whole lot of work, but it's still an impediment.

Sadly, since I started my game at level 10, I haven't really gotten a chance to use the slivers... :/ I should probably get on that before it's too late. Hmm...

I couldn't let them be that retarded. Its good to hear that it gets better. We just hit level 5 after wrapping up H1 Shadowfell Keep. I am eager to use some of the slivers you created on them when i get the chance to not annihilate them outright. Sorry, when I say basic I do mean at will not truly “basic”.

Asmor Tue, 30 Sep 2008 05:37:08 +0000 http://www.encounteraday.com/2008/09/27/the-league-preview/#comment-642 I'm a big kobold fan too. :) I've even got a kobold ranger who specializes in alchemy whipped up for a potential game I might get to play in sometime in the indeterminate future... I wanted to have 8 characters ready for The League when I launch it, 2 designed to fill each role. That was easy for most of them, but I was left scratching my head with controller... And then I hit on a kobold trap maker and it just worked perfectly. Of course, the really nice thing about this approach is that I can literally make any concept I want. I'm not restricted to what's in the books. Which is going to play a part in The League as well...

The at-wills ARE their "basic" attacks. Characters aren’t supposed to use their basic attacks ever, unless they’re required to for some reason (e.g. opportunity attacks, charging).

The at-wills ARE their “basic” attacks.

As for the monsters, most of them have reusable powers, and I've been reusing them quite a bit. Had a blast attacking the PCs with a Skull Lord the other day.

Asmor Mon, 29 Sep 2008 15:29:25 +0000 http://www.encounteraday.com/2008/09/27/the-league-preview/#comment-628 Funny, I've noticed nothing like that. I am running a level 10 game, though, so the players have a fair amount of encounter and daily abilities to run through before they're forced to rely on basic attacks. This stat block I've made is actually intended to be used as a pregen PC in a project I'm working on called The League. Basically, at the start of their turn they roll a die to see which ability they have available, and they've also always got a melee and a ranged attack. An action point can be used as normal, or it can also be used to set your die roll to whatever number you want, allowing you to use any of your abilities on one turn.
