You might think about reworking spell resistance for 4E. Perhaps they get a bonus on their defenses against arcane and divine attacks? Maybe they've also got a power to force rerolls on magic attacks against them once per round?

Interesting idea. My only thought was to take the guidelines for upgrading a monster to a solo, try applying them in reverse, and then add on a template to make it a solo again, although obviously of a different nature from what it started as. I'm not certain how well that would work either.

Sure thing:

So I've been running a campaign for a couple months or so now using the Rise of the Runelords AP (minor spoilers ahead), and last night the party finally reached the haunted manor (in the Skinsaw Murders module), where they began to experience the various Haunts as they explored the place. Now...

Thanks. I hadn't really thought about power source, but presumably if the class doesn't come with any intrinsic powers it wouldn't really have a power source. Or a role, for that matter. It would just sorta take on the power source and role of whatever class it multiclassed into.

I understand that from a gamist point of view, the economy of actions argument makes a lot of sense. But for me, the idea that you and your cohort only get one attack between the two of you strains verisimilitude a bit too much for me. Still, you want to make sure that no single player is...

The Magic Item Compendium has a page towards the back which includes alternative body slots for some of the common magic item effects. I don't have it in front of me, but I believe the actual Body slot (used by armor and robes) is valid for an AC enhancement bonus. So a +1 robe (or tunic, or...

Would yuan-ti miniatures fit the bill? WotC has released a few of those, including a couple as recent as Desert of Desolation.

I don't recall how open content is designated, but I'm pretty sure that most WotC books do not contain open content, and that the "Complete" and "Races of" books are right out. I'd wager that if it appears on http://www.d20srd.org/, then it's open content. Otherwise, it probably isn't.

Savage Tide? Without giving away anything too spoilery, I'll say this: - Swim, naturally, is an important skill. - Climb may also come in handy from time to time. - Profession (Sailor) will prove useful. Only one person in the party really needs to max it out, but it doesn't hurt for others to...

Don't really have a pitch, but I do have a few thoughts. First off, I definitely agree that D&D would probably work better, in terms of story, as a TV series. Instead of trying to cram as many aspects of D&D as possible into two hours, they could instead be dropped in as needed: this week the...

So long as they aren't taller than dwarves, I've got no objections. However, if they really are making halflings a bit taller, then to me this implies that halflings may use the same size weapons and armor as humans, elves, dwarves and the like. After all, with gnomes out of the PHB that would...

Sounds like a very specific subgenre of fanfiction, to me... *shudder*

Sounds like you've been misinformed on what QED stands for: quod erat demonstrandum
