The Eternal City of Tanelorn
Welcome all to my blog. As mentioned in my first entry I've not contributed much to blogspace in the past. I've been an avid blog reader for some time but never really thought I had much to say. Now that my favorite site has a blogging feature I thought it appropriate to start one of my own. For more on my inspiration, see the first entry (in Misc - The Importance of Blogging).
What you'll find in here is a collection of 4e creations, product reviews (pimping anyways), and random musings. At least that's what I've got on the books so far. Stay tuned for more.

Classes & Races - Introduction
Posted 27th July 2008 at 08:21 AM by Erekose13
For all that I've dreamed of being a game designer (and what DM hasnt at one point?) I've only put together a few things to submit in the past. I've been published online on a couple of fan sites but thats about as far as it goes. So here is one idea I had for 4e that I'd love one day to see polished enough to submit to a publisher.
One of the marketing blurbs put forth during the lead in to 4e was that we would see races being more important over the course of a character's career. I've read the PHB and I don't see it. Sure the powers gained at 1st level are still valid later on, sure there are good heroic feat options available for races early on and even a few (read Dragonborn) paragon feats available. But there is little to suggest that a 30th level human paladin is that much different from a 30th level dwarven paladin.
This series of articles will explore a single race-class combination and enhance the options available to players of that combination. For example I will feature Dwarven Fighter powers (of all tiers), paragon paths, feats, magic items, and at times epic destinies if it fits. I hope that what follows is an interesting look at making races matter more through out a campaign.
