So, reading a thread here on ENWorld I came across someone saying that a Martial Controller really should have been the rogue, using immediate interrupts to attack and "control" the flow of battle. Now, this got me thinking that perhaps, just as Defenders (mark), Leaders (heal) and Strikers...

So, I've been thinking about a few things about how Class and Race synergize and what this "says" about a setting. Assuming that a combination of Ability Boost and Class Synergy means that one can assume a greater number of these people, what does this tell us about the "potential setting"...

Over the past two years (give or take a month or two), Paizo has gone from a former magazine-publisher and adventure writer, to creating their own roleplaying game (Pathfinder), launching "their own" line of miniatures (in conjunction with Reaper) and now they are launching a line of novels. Is...

<warning: rant ahead> Ok, I gotta say this first. I'm biased. I'm a psionics fan. I write psionics books and I publish them. I LOVE psionics. Done. WHAT THE EFFING HELL? Psionic MAGIC? As far as I see it, personally, psionics is NOT magic. I disliked the "Psionic X"-factor that was happening...

+1/level instead of +½ level? I've been looking at the bonuses most PCs get to their stats over time and started to wonder if maybe there was a better way to do it? Abilities: +1 @ 11/21 = +1 +1 to 2 at 4/8/14/18/24/28 = +3 Items: +6 magic item enhancements = +6 This equal +10 over 30...

So, I've been considering if it is even at all possible to retain the "tactical" aspect/feel of D&D4 and not use miniatures? Has anyone tried something like this? Any luck? Suggestions? Ideas to share?

So... I've been thinking. Totemic Warclub allows you to manifest "Melee Spirit 1" attacks from your own square as well as the spirits. Totemic Spear makes all "Melee Spirit 1" attacks reach an additional square. If my character has both (say one javelin and one mace), would I then effectively...

So, I've been contemplating changing how combat works for us. We've recently encountered a spacing problem (a table broke and now we don't have room to place large maps anymore) and I'm considering new options for how to handle 4E combats. Right now I am considering creating smaller "zones" and...

Hi guys! I ended up in a "Primals Only" game after a few back and forths and have a Hobgoblin Shaman (don't worry about the race, a few house-rules in effect there) with the following stats: Str 12 Con 18 Dex 8 Int 12 Wis 18 Cha 10 (Racial mods were +2 to Wis, +2 to Con - houseruled) I'm...

Hi! We are gearing up for a game in the Iron Kingdoms, a world known for its lethality. I am considering playing a Leader, and specifically one focused on healing. All classes are possible except Shaman and Artificer, and most races except Deva, Dragonborn, Warforged or Changelings are...

Hi! I have a few questions that need interpretation. I'm taking Pact Initiate: Vestige Pact and I am wondering if I do get a Vestige to go along with my Eyes of the Vestige power? In other words, does it augment? Second question - Eyes of the Vestige lets me place a curse on an enemy within 3...

So, I'm awesomely impressed by the quality and width of Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay in how it was put together and assembled. Take a look: Fantasy Flight Games [Videos] When you get back, tell me - how do you think that 4E could've been "rethunk" with this kind of background? Me personally I...

Ok, so I think I just found another new class: the Alchemist. It is referenced in the Resa part of the article with the following: So, considering that the concept of the article is "primal" characters that the Alchemist is a Primal Leader and will accompany the Seeker in PHB3. Whatya think?

One of my players asked me if his character could use a double weapon and a shield, to which my answer was "naturally, no". However, he enquired if it was possible to use only one side of a double weapon (the primary) and something else in the other hand, to which I was a little more stumped. I...

Ok, we let that much slide. We are working on a set of updated Psionics rules and in the spirit of the Open Playtest Paizo did for Pathfinder we are starting with asking YOU the fans - what would YOU want? Our intention is to update the Psionics rules with errata and changes to balance some of...

Hi! One of my players wants to play a Warlock in a game with Avengers, Barbarians, Rangers & Rogues (we have about 12 players and a shifting schedule on who makes it to a game, where each game has about 5-6 players present) and my first quick overview is telling me that the class, as a striker...

Ok, one of my players has built his ranger into a level 13 (beastmaster) ranger with paragon multiclassing into Barbarian. And he's devastating the battlefield - to such a degree that nothing of equal level is a challenge to the party anymore. Wielding an Executioners Axe his frigging At-Will -...

So, there are NO Dungeon Tiles near me that I can go look at, feel at or just interact with, so I am contemplating ordering 10-20 of them from Amazon. Now, you, dear readers of ENWorld, have a wealth of information regarding these tiles. How sturdy are they? How easily to they wear, or tear for...

Ok, so one of my players died and want a new character and we agreed to let him test a Tempest Technique Fighter. Do people have suggestions on what to use (We have access to Martial Power, PHB, DMG, MM and AV) to make this character effective? I'm tempted to suggest he go with 2x Short Swords...

We all know that the only source of information that the D20 STL was going to be revoked January 1st, 2009 was a single forumpost by Scott Rouse. I'm curious to whether or not there actually HAS been any revokations of the licenses today?
