Lost Monsters: Adamantine Golem
Today I give you the adamantine golem. He’s a pretty straightforward brute. He delivers a pile of damage and then smashes you to the ground. Once there, he can bury you so you can’t stand. Yay! Grab him here: Adamantine Golem The image comes from Bioware’s Neverwinter Nights.

Read more10 Changes to 4e
Did I say something about format last week? (Cue innocent whistling.) I shouldn’t have been surprised by some of the reactions. I should have expected some passionate folks to vent their spleens when I handed them so ready a platform to do so. Oh well. Today I want to pull back the curtain on the [...]

One of the more startling changes that came with 4th edition was the game’s look. Perceptive fans might have anticipated some of the changes (stat-blocks for example), but powers with their multicolored striped took many by surprise, myself included. Outside of art and map orders, I have no say about how a product looks. I [...]
Read moreLost Monsters: Hoary Hunter
How about something a little less inflammatory? Today I give you the hoary hunter. I wanted to do something a bit different here since this hunter is tied to its steed.
