I'm starting a new game next week, and I really want some kind of mechanics that'll allow my players to invent NPC on the fly. Say they need to break into a vault and lack a master locksmith. Does anybody know of any game that has rules that'll allow the player to invent such a guy, like "hey, I...

Thanks a lot for your suggestions. Helped a bunch!

My group and I are starting a new game in a fantasy setting. The system's Savage Worlds, the setting is some homebrew heavily inspired by the Final Fantasy franchise. My group's requested they all play criminals (by profession, not necessarily by class). They've simultaneously asked that the...

My players are about to fight the first big battle of the game, and I've been trying to browse up on the rules for mass-combat. Thing is: the rules presented with Kingmaker are way too complicated for my tastes. So, I've been wondering if there are any alternatives to this? Something that makes...

Hey! I was hoping you guys could help me out with a couple of rules questions. : ) 1) My group's summoner has made an eidolon capable of wielding a weapon - a longsword. In addition, he has givin the eidolon the "reach evolution." Can the eidolon attack creatures within 5 feet of itself? The...

He's got +4 from his charisma modifier, +1 from spell focus (conjuration), and +1 from the spell's level. I think the spell's powerful enough without making the grease flammable. : P

Hey! I'm starting a Kingmaker game and one of my players has chosen to play a summoner. Of course, he has chosen "Grease" as one of his first level spells, which has me kinda worried. I haven't played with the spell before, but I fear that he'll make short work of any non-caster by making the...

I've thought about this, too. How would you change the tracking of durations in 4e? I mean, to improve it?

Where can I find and print the bard powers?

Hi! We're starting a new 4e game, and I've been charged with playing the bard. We're gonna start with level 1. I'm wondering, with the following stats, what would be the best build (the most power-gamey)? Which virtue, powers, and feats should I select? Ability scores (not yet assigned): - 18...

With the latest packet, what are we looking at with regards to attack bonuses at the different levels, including magic items (and other effects that boost to hit)?

I haven't played a lot of 4e, but I was wondering: If you go with the standard character sheet from the Player's Handbook, and you print all your powers (as cards, but you don't cut them out - you just keep sheets with rows and columns of cards), how many pages will an average 20th level...

So, its been a while since the launch of the playtest, and while the whole advantage/disadvantage mechanic was initially celebrated by a lot of people, I've found several posts on various forums and blogs that criticize the mechanic for bringing nothing to the table but an additional layer of...

As the title says, how exactly does skills work? I've only just finished browsing through the play test papers, and didn't find anything on skills, except the various characters seem to have some bonuses in skill-like talents (commerce, for instance, as noted at the rogue's background). For...

Alright. Yeah, I figured that the usual 10 was somehow incorperated. I find it weird, though, that they haven't made a note of it anywhere in the play test.
