My personal way of mentally reconciling this was to imagine the kind of shock that makes you 'jump out of your skin'. I'm thinking of stuff like Johnny Depp getting sucked into the bed in Nightmare on Elm Street, the scene in The Thing when the guy's head pops off and scuttles away, or the part...

Looks good! Now that I look at these, the prerequisites seem unnecessary.

I was about to reply to this thread, but then I realized that Mesh Hong said exactly everything I would've (and probably in more detail than I would've come up with). These seem like good ideas, but they might be a little more '4e-ish' if they were feats with prerequisites, i.e.: cast iron...

Given the wording of the feats, I'd think you wouldn't gain combat advantage until after your second attack; the first would give vulnerability, using Lasting Frost, and the second would grant combat advantage with Wintertouched Anyway, by the time a rogue reaches paragon level and is eligible...

I disagree; the problem with power attack isn't that it's underpowered. For instance, by my back-of-the-envelope math, at level 5, a fighter with 16 str attacking a creature with AC 15 using a greatsword gets a bonus of 2.28 to his average damage output on every attack if he uses power attack...

I think that might be a little too much; the feat's already better than Weapon Specialization (at least, if you have a strength modifier of 4+) with much lighter prerequisites.

Since it's been two weeks, has all not been going well? Is there a new ETA for the finalists?

No max dex I'm a little surprised nobody's commented yet on what I think is the coolest thing on this page, and probably the reason there's no Medium category: no max dex anymore! It looks like the difference between Light and Heavy armors is simply that wearing the former allows a dex/int...

So when are we going to see the entries? Did that get pushed back with the deadline?

I'm so glad to see this thread; all this time, I'd thought I was alone in my obsession with the d12. I'm playing a greataxe-wielding barbarian for exactly that reason, regardless of the fact that a greatsword is mathematically Just Plain Better. Kudos to you, fellow dodecaphiles. Long live...

This is an interesting idea I hadn't really considered before. However, if you're doing that, how would you avoid replacing your "Christmas tree" of worn magic items with "Santa's bag" of niche folding boats, portable holes, and crystal balls? Is that not a problem? Also interesting, I...

In response to what's been said so far, I agree that I don't mind having fewer magic items; my question was more about the implementation than anything. Players need some kind of a reward for adventuring; otherwise there's no motivation to play. I don't suggest that magic items will be removed...

Most of what I'm seeing about 4e I like so far. One thing, though, that still has me puzzled is the claim of less reliance on magic items. While I don't mind this in principle, I don't understand what they're going to replace it with, as a reward. What I mean is that, as of now, the major...
