An Ugly Stick

zombies are fun a zombie dnd game tends to be fun for the 1st combagt but gets old quickly. im going to come up with a fun way to play an entire game with zombies typical of action horror movies.

Here is an idea I used recently in a game. Take any dragon that want and split his attacks up. For each attack, assign hp and defenses equal to the dragons level but as a normal monster insread of a solo. Have each body part represent a body part of the dragon. So you can have 2 claws, a tail, a head and possibly two wings. For the head, I would give it elite defenses including the action point and saving throw bonus. You'll want to give each piece a speed as well. For the head, you can either let it float psychically, or mount it on the wall, like a true taxidermist would. I'll post the statistics that I used later.

omething that I've tested and seemed to have worked out really well is something that I call elite minions. In 4th ed, minions go down after taking 1 hit. They fill the ranks and make up the grunts of any adversary party. The only problem that I have with them is that once the players figure out which monsters are elites, they focus fire using their at-will powers and try and blown them away with their aoe attacks. This is a good stratagy for them, but as a dm, we need to stay a step ahead of the players always! Here is the mechanic for Elite Minions: HP: 2, Bloodied: 1; Threshhold: 10 What is threshold, I hear you asking, well it a new key term that I'm introducing where the number it corresponds to is how much damage needs to be done to kill the monster outright. Otherwise, if this damage is not met, the monster becomes bloodied and then the rules of normal minions apply. In essence, Threshold acts as a sort of damage buffer. The exact number for the threshold can change per ...

I'm going to start writing again more regularly. This time I promise to keep it up. I know I said that before but this time I mean it. For reals! I have a new phone that lets me post using it, so now I don't have an excuse. to prove it, here is my email adress: obcflocal@gmail.com If i don't post somethng once a week, feel free to shoot me an angry letter demanding that post right away! Also, I am going to be doing things differently. I still have my musings about rpg theory along with some real life stufff thrown in, but mostly I'm going to use this as a place to post encounters for 4th ed Dungeons and Dragons. There will be stuff that I've used in my games but also just some fun ideas that might or might not work. I'll let you know what I've used and what worked when I have tested it out.
