Regarding hidden magic items, Its a truism of 4e treasure that magic items are worth more than the equivalent gold (assuming you use the published economy). Said another way, its better to find a +1 weapon than it is to find 360gp. Second, it's easier to dribble in additional gold over time...

Depending on how many times you want your monster to transform, you could simply stat the 'monster' up as several monsters. For example, Phase 1 Monster, Level 11 Elite Controller On death, spawns a Phase 2 Trap Phase 2 Trap, Level 11 Trap, Basket weaving Skill challenge, lever-fest, or just...

QR Rogue Weapon Talent is cheap at 1 point, Suggest Rogue Weapon Talent 2, Sneak attack 4 Combat Challenge is powerful, and Fighter Weapon Talent is equal to Rogue Weapon talent, CC 6 , FWT 2. This leaves all the +1 to hit skills at 2 points. Channel Divinity is cheap (Why not buy one of the...

Hello there, Depending on what sort of challenges you are intending to use in the game, the Gestalt proposed above isn't that much more powerful than a single character. There's only a 5 hitpoint gap between wizards and paladins at 1st level. Basically, I'd try to make a character that is...

I like the class, but found the focus mechanic a bit confusing. This is a rewrite that I hope keeps the same mechanics but matches the 4e style (I tried to set this up closer to the Warlock's Curse/Pact mechanic). Dervish Focus A Dervish focuses her whatever blah blah Focus <Insert focus...

Two more options not to discount, Choose Eladrin and Eladrin Soldier for +2 Damage with longswords (better than a spending a feat for Bastard sword) Or same idea, Dwarf with Axes/Hammers for +2 Damage. I'd argue that Dwarf is the best race for a 2twf ranger even without the Weapon Training...

How about Headache/Migraine/Aneurism

And yet that's exactly what a friend of mine's character did. Moridin made a tower, married a dyrad and founded a college. He was a Blood Magus so I'd file the serial numbers of the Arcane Spirit and make it some sort of blood form, but otherwise the Destiny is a perfect fit. In later...

One of my tablemates is playing one now. Recommendations: - Be a straight Beguiler, none of the prestige options we researched added anything to the class other than flavor, and the cloaked casting boni are worth keeping. - Don't be a human. You don't need the feat or the extra skill points. -...

Had this discussion with the gaming group as well. We compared the barbarian rage at that level and factored the additional barbarian advantages and its not out of range at all.

Hello All, Our gaming group got the Player's Handbook II recently and I really liked the new fighter feats. As a result, I've written up a few Epic feats from the new feats in PH2. I've also include Epic progressions for a few classes and pretige classes in the group. I've really like to get...

Bong!

Sorcica, do you have a moment to comment on the template questions above, I'm just not getting it, and I _know_ the first thing my players will ask is "What about Templates" Burne

Having now read the everything in this thread, I can say that alot of the questions coming up have been answered in the v5 doc with the revision of the CR's in light of racial ability mods and a simple method of generating 'equiped' CR. Is there any way I could get ahold of such a thing? Do you...

Re: Monster equipment From what you have posted and my reading to the early sections of this thread, I have synthesized the following for my player's. See if it hurts you. Note that I am using fractional CR's for some purposes. Now on to templates... Are many templates supposed to be "half...

A little clarification needed... Just to be clear, what you are doing above is creating a new monster based on the Thri-keen called "Thri-keen with 4th level PC Equipment", now is the 0.8 CR for equipment added before the Golden rule? It doesn't seem right to just add 0.8 CR to 4 and then...

As a Long Time reader of IRON DM!!!!, I think Wulf did a wonderful job judging. Given, however, I define "wonderful job" as, I agreed with the judgements Thanks to all of the participants for such a good showing.

Howdy Upper Krust, I have a few questions about your v4 CR system. <hmmm> Adobe Reader isn't loving me, so I can't get a correct example value out of your pdf at this time. Under Wotc rules when playing a +LA race, your ECL determines your starting cash (ie a Thri-keen has 2 Racial HD and an...

PC0 "I check the door for traps" PC1 "I move 30ft away." PC2 "I move 60ft away." PC3 "I move 90ft away." Too many chain lightning/Area Effect Stone to Flesh/Dimensional Portals/Giant Spider traps. "I check the trees for elephants, ninja elephants." Masters of the Wild contained stats for the...

Just a quick balance comment from someone who has spent to much time playing and making characters and Gods at the 30th+ level. Divine rank 0 is worth about 3 levels to a epic character. Divine Rank 1 is worth about 5 levels. Every rank beyond that is worth a little more than a level, with the...
