Re: OT: D&D 4e or: Wanna slaughter some minions?
Since we may be starting soon, I'd like everyone to state one thing they'd like to see in the game.
Depending on what it is, it might not happen right away, but if it's not going to happen at all, I'll tell you and try to negotiate. (I don't expect to happen, but someone could be silly and say 'A Vorpal sword...At second level'  )
(Yes, my sleep schedule can get very wonky...Especially when I'm trying to unwonky it)

Re: OT: D&D 4e or: Wanna slaughter some minions?
A quest which requires us to wholesale slaughter innocent garden-variety bunny rabbits. I don't care how little XP or gold we can get out of it, it's just that I like massacring bunnies.

Re: OT: D&D 4e or: Wanna slaughter some minions?
I would like for the party to somehow receive a long time frame quest in addition to any short term quests the town has to offer. Like a quest that would take many adventures to finally draw to a close taking us ever further afield (or deeper in the ground  ) |

Re: OT: D&D 4e or: Wanna slaughter some minions?
@Astorax: I'll assume the party is going unaligned when I formulate that; if the party doesn't, it'll be the easiest to modify.

Re: OT: D&D 4e or: Wanna slaughter some minions?
I'm trying to choose my character's spells and I wonder...
Is a range of 20 considered a pretty long, medium, or a short range for most combats? Like, can I expect to start a fair number of combats within 10 or 20 squares of the nearest enemies?

Re: OT: D&D 4e or: Wanna slaughter some minions?
(Note: The math is there just to show conclusions.  )
x5 to convert to feet. That's 100 feet.
Most first-level characters move 6 squares - That's 30 feet.
3 and 1/3 (4) rounds to close, assuming only one side is closing (Logical, if the other side is using ranged weapons to weaken their enemy)
1.833~ (2) rounds to close if both are charging.
Question is, in which case is the power more useful and does it do something appropriately useful in that time?
Oh - The start of combats. In dungeons, you could easily start in the 6-12 square range. In open fields, anywhere from 40 squares to 2 squares, depending on terrain, 'shrubbery' and stealth/perception rolls.

Re: OT: D&D 4e or: Wanna slaughter some minions?
Well, as the Rogue, I'll be stealthed most of the time scouting ahead for traps/enemies. So we will have advanced warning most of the time. There are always surprises though.
I would say yes to that question - definetly within 20 squares and probably alot of the time within 10 unless its some huge room of course.
