I’m late to the party, I though I’d poke at a few ideas and see if they get more creative juices flowing. I think having a second percentile role gets rather complicated and gamy. Also it neglects the fact that blocking with a shield can still be rather painful (certainty bruising and...

Ever use Google? Seriously people? Just google "dnd next beta playtest torrent" You'll find what you are looking for in the second link. How are any of you surprised?

HP have always been an abstraction. It actually happened much before 4e. I had a 2nd ed Barbarian with 200+hp. He would often get hit with with 30 arrows in 1 encounter. The only way to explain that none of these arrows hit a vital organ or to explain why my barbarian could walk around without...

I really like your monster cards minimalist feel but I would change the color (maybe red and white?). I would also try to keep them on 2.5 x 3.5 inches or in a horizontal layout (maybe the same size as DDM cards), keeping nice and se-metric card layouts goes a long way. Looking forward to more!

Indeed in the US public services are often less efficient then private ones because a significant segment of private services are subsidized at the expense of the public industry. In the US private health insurance companies spend on average 25% of your money on administrative costs. Medicare’s...

Now if they could only make WotC's site as user-friendly as Enworld... "I hack my PSP so it can do things that it _should've_ been able to do out of the box," - Darwin

I've posted this elsewhere, but I think it should be included here. Presenting the Generic 4e Tent-Sheet! This 4e ‘reference screen’ provides players ‘need to know’ information on their powers, while offering the DM helpful player statistics. Now that combat actively uses a multitude of...

Presenting the Generic 4e Tent-Sheet! This 4e ‘reference screen’ provides players ‘need to know’ information on their powers, while offering the DM helpful player statistics. Now that combat actively uses a multitude of defenses and that passive skill checks are the norm, it is only natural to...

Popular answers to what motivates DRM crackers: "I was fed up with not being able to play a movie the way I wanted to play it," that is, on a PC that ran Linux. - Jon Johansen "I hack my PSP so it can do things that it _should've_ been able to do out of the box," -Darwin I suspect that the...

Someone hire him quick! Seriously WotC do something!

Trolls, For what it's worth, I think that after the first notch which indicates the attack type the next question a player would have would be: 'What's the attack roll?' Basically, I don't think that the Stat vs Armor notch should be the last, I think it should be the second, right after the...

Why not just make the * smaller? Anyone know if there are full round action in 4th ed?

Ya those color symbols are cool, I think it's important to have action type and frequency somewhere predominant. Though, I would reconsider the standard action one, >> dosn't feel like a standard action, it seems more like a movement. And you might want to find something for full round actions...

Lindorie I like your monster cards, but they somehow feel a little 'busy', I know it's probably not easy to fit all those monster stats on a single card. I would suggest removing the side bar, that info seems distracting. The alignment and xp value could probably fit in the subtitle, or beside...

Mike, I'm going to try to get some work time on a pc with xpressions Designer so if you could send me those templates it would be appreciated.
