The "Legion of Gold Maps" Maps link in the 'Galleries Section' that should link to maps, actually takes you to the 'Legion_art.zip' file, wich is the same as the art file... any idea, when that link will be fixed, or an alternate provided so that we can actually down load the maps?

here is the problem page - it's the download link that is pointing to the wrong file:

www.wizards.com/DnD/Article.aspx?x=dnd/4...

That page's 'download' button points to the same place that the 'Art' page does; Found here:

www.wizards.com/DnD/Article.aspx?x=dnd/4...

They Both point to the file:

www.wizards.com/dnd/downloads/galleries/...

...

HEy!  guess what! I did a little bit of 'guessing' and found the right link!  yay me, I feel all 'hacker ish' or something...

it is:

www.wizards.com/dnd/downloads/galleries/...

--- It still needs changed on the pages though - they look fairly old though - how has no one noticed this yet?--


thanks,

This just came up in my game, recently.  I don't like it, personally, but I let it slide - wanted to let the player do /something/ at that point.  It does say 'a creature of your choice' rather than '/another/ creature of your choice...'



Yeah I'm not a fan of the idea either, but it is completely legit.  You could houserule it to "adjacent" or something.

The concensus from the 4e Rules forum is that a dominated creature can be forced to attack itself. That doesn't seem very fun to me, but since most GW creatures don't have a ranged basic attack, they rarely have any other target (since they don't get to move before the attack). So disallowing self-attacks would typically make the mental push power useless (which is even less fun).

My own compromise was to disallow attacking themselves (only because it didn't seem fun), but allow them use their (at will) ranged attack (without provoking) even if it wasn't a basic attack (only because it seemed like fun).

Then it's definitely legal.

Another day, another three or four entries to my Ignore List.

For Omega Tech Unstable Vibroblade the card states "Special: You can take ongoing 5 force damage (save ends) to make this power a melee 3 attack."

What is a "melee 3 attack"?

Thanks in advance.

That refers to the range. Most melee powers are range "melee 1" which means you can attack someone one square away, i.e. an adjacent square.

A melee 3 power has what D&D calls "reach," meaning you can attack enemies up to 3 squares away. It's still a melee attack -- think of someone stretchy like Plastic Man punching you with his fist -- so rules which apply to ranged attacks don't apply to it, only melee attack rules. One of the main distinctions is that melee attacks don't provoke opportunity attacks like ranged attacks do.

Do you add half levels to attack rolls?

Page 18: Making Attacks
Attack Roll: roll a d20 and add your attack modifier. Your attack modifier is described in the power you're using, but it's typically your key ability modifier + your level.

My suggestion: read the book, you'd be surprised what's actually not missing.

Unlike D&D, you don't add half levels; you add your full level to your attack as indicated on the power description or on the Alpha or Omega card.

Basic attacks (see page 75 of D&D Gamma World) add your level to the attack roll, and your level to the damage roll.
