As stated in the thread title, I'm wondering whether later printings of the 4E core rulebooks will contain the errata being released (eg, the reworking of the Skill System DCs.). I didn't really get into 3E until after it had already been out for a great deal of time, and I didn't really care...

Operation is, and has always been, the definitive Medical Role Playing Game. Nothing you say will ever change my stance on that. I will continue using its brilliant mechanics for any and all Heal checks until the day I die, the cost of batteries notwithstanding! I am fully prepared to write...

You have the patience of a Saint. That said, I have to ask: Why do you put up with his idiotic behavior? A player who did that in my group would be risking physical injury (and I don't mean to his character.) Looking through the Charter (which is well written), I can't think of anything you...

I am currently working on mastering the monster creation rules, but I've hit a potential snag. For the sake of this discussion, the various Action Points, defense bonuses, and Saving Throw bonuses are irrelevant. Don't worry about them. This only concerns the process listed under step #6...

A question I have that I haven't seen addressed is this: As far as I can tell, there is nothing stopping a Wizard from grabbing an Orc and then proceeding to cast Meteor Swarm while still maintaining his hold on the Orc. Can the "grab-er" cast spells (use Arcane powers) while still maintaining...

Just remember to do something to badly nerf all of the other members in the party if you do an encounter where the "Tank" isn't allowed to be geared up. The encounter isn't fun for the party Fighter if he's the only one operating at a massive disadvantage. (Which he will be. Don't expect an...

First, you are correct. Characters do not die when they lose all of their HP. They suffer a potentially fatal blow that causes them to fall in battle. They don't die until they've failed three Death Saves or been run through while helplessly bleeding out. Yes, the D&D combat system is abstract...

Now that you say it, I can't believe I couldn't see that before. :-S :o Thanks for the help. That does seem like a reasonable approach. I think I'll playtest it next session and see how it works versus the +to attacks. I'm looking to make this a mechanical replacement for granting small XP...

After reading several posts on various forums concerning a 4E version of Stunting (from Exalted), I'm tempted to implement it. However, I am unsure what sort of effect arbitrary Story bonuses to attack rolls will have on combat. Right now, I'm probably going to end up with: +1 Story bonus...

48. It's the only way to undo something horrible that happened to the BBEG. For whatever reason, a consequence of his scheme results in the world's destruction. This can take on many different flavors, from a "suffering" BBEG whose efforts are actually noble but misguided, to a greedy villain...

I'm a huge fan of Shapeshifting and Summoning. In 3.x, I always wished I could use Wild Shape as the primary focus of the class. Magical power centered around weather effects and plant life are also key. Basically, a class that can choose between focusing on Wild Shape or Nature magic, with a...

Thanks. This should help immensely. "#3) Tear's Hit should read: "1[W] + Strength modifier damage and the target is marked" isn't necessary for a Defensive Druid because Defensive form already makes all of his attacks mark enemies; however, if you're including that to help out Offensive form...

First, thanks for putting forth all the work required to design this. Over all, I really like what you've created. I especially like the caster-Druid. I'm currently preparing to run your Druid in 2 different campaigns, so soon I'll have some (hopefully) helpful feedback. However, I have one...

5) Have them be a source of PC guilt. (Note: This is a tactic that should be used sparingly to preserve its potency.) Nothing makes the villainy of a BBEG more memorable to the players than when the players are responsible for enabling the BBEG to do all those evil things in the first place...

Does this actually work? I was under the impression a character could only utilize the effects of one Implement at a time.
