Are you thinking of domain feats? You can only apply one of those to an an-will at a time (Divine Power page 108).

Thanks! This is what I hadn't thought of. If you take the temp hitpoints you don't have your second wind available until you rest which will make the temps expire. So it's a trade-off, Excellent :cool:

The title says most of it. As far as I can read, it depends on whether you can "Second Wind" while resting. Can you? Feat text from CB: "When an ally within 10 squares of you uses second wind, he or she also gains temporary hit points equal to your Charisma modifier."

As a cunning bard (the virtue just looks so much more interesting) the question is whether intelligence is half as good as charisma? Consider how much charisma affects compared to intelligence: - Charisma improves Will, attacks, damage, healing and some skills - Intelligence improves Reflex...

I am considering a human bard with stats 8 13 10 13 10 18+2, bumping constitution once to be able to get hide specialisation and then intelligence the rest of the way. Do you have any comments or experience with such unbalanced stats? It seems to be the bard gets very little from secondary...

This is awesome work! Howeer, I haven't had a chance to utilise it sice I dscovered it, and now the Monster Builder can produce excellent output (jpg/rtf) ... won't that be better than scans?

As a DM I would definitely allow the charge to continue, possibly toward another target. But I would require the charger to keep going in the general direction of the charge (further i the same quadrant from the original position). So if the ranger shifts behind the charger or out of charging...

I think you can shot at anything within range & line of sight/effect. Wouldn't that include point blank range since there is no specific rule against it?

Great thread :) Jurph, those arrays look like the ones people actually choose. What happens if you don't count (-1)^2=+1 from an 8 or 9 as a good thing? Also, an odd score is a litle better than the next lower even score since i can be raised or become even in heroic tier. So maybe increase...

Random without crazyness I once calculated all the possible 22-point combinations (it's really not that many when a computer does it for you) and listed them in order from lowest to highest spread (so from 14-13-13-13-13-13 to 18-14-11-10-10-8). You then just generate a random number between 1...

Welcome to the boards. Regarding the starter set, I think it contains almost exactly the same rules as the free "D&D Test Drive" download nogray has linked to (and the same sample characters too). From what I remember, it also has some monsters and tokens/terrain but not much of a sample...

Thanks for correcting me :) But, to play the devil's advocate, doesn't a change like this shift the importance of character roles? When you can drop opponents quicker, defending and leading are less useful comparen to striking, no? And if the party takes advantage of this and replaces someone...

Thanks to KD for plugging my simple suggestion (you usually think things through so your reference is appreciated). Actually I suggested reducing monster levels by 1/2/3 from levels 5/10/25 to match the Expertise feats, but the idea is the same and the best thing is that it requires *zero*...

How would it work to just pick monsters from 1/2/3 levels lower from levels 5/10/25? That should on average reduce their attacks and defenses by 1/2/3 and hence work pretty much like the feats. I do not have enough experience with this to evaluate the effects fully, but how do you think it...

I was thinking of these feath from PHB2: Implement Expertise, Weapon Expertise, Paragon Defenses, Robust Defenses, and Epic Fortitude/Reflex/Will (there may be more). All those (and maybe masterowrk armors? I dunno) seem like part of a "math-fix" to do something about the apparant divergence of...

In this thread I have read a few suggestions along this vein: In (many) other threads, a "math problem" (PCs' attacks and defenses fall behind monsters' so that players rarely hit while monsters rarely miss) has been discussed at length and there has even been published feats to remedy this...

(mistake)

Do you think this armor is balanced or will it cause problems? Breastplate Type: Light (benefits from high dex/int) AC: 4/5/6 (one better than hide armor) Check: -1 (as hide) Speed: -1 (as chain) Price: 35 gp (between hide and chain) Weight: 30 lbs (between hide and chain) Proficiency: Requires...

I have considered doing the same and don't really see any balance issues. But so far, I think the simplicity of increasing everything at even levels is better with my group. The difference is really just using either floor( (stat-10 + level)/2 ) instead of floor( (stat-10)/2 ) + floor(level/2)...

Very interesting and nice to have this thread come up just as I am working on making shapeshifting into a bear possible. This is the path I am taking, exactly to make it posible to be a shifter of any race. Actually I only really need something for a half-orc barbarian but I prefer the...
