I'm currently working on a Dread Necromancer-type class, and I've hit a snag. To make a long story short, the class uses a Psionic-like power point system to upgrade at-wills, but has a class feature that costs all of its available points that works like an encounter power: Is this an acceptable...

Hey, guys! I've got a great idea to put some 'umph' back into the 5e Fighter: a replacement class feature. Check this out: Do you like it? Surely this class feature is interchangeable with the previous +2 bonus to weapon damage.

Hello! I'm Dire Human, and I'm doing the finishing touches on a ranged barbarian build using Heavy Thrown weapons (coming soon!). I've just polished up one of the paragon paths for the class: the Hulking Hurler, based off the old 3.5 prestige class. While nowhere near as game-breaking as the...

Hello! Once again, I'm going to test my creativity (and my patience) by subjecting myself to a new project! Last time, I wrote up a full race and Warlock pact; this time, it's going to be a Barbarian build based on Heavy Thrown weapons. Like last time, I'll post at least one new thing every...

Please, by all means, be as vicious as possible when critiquing my class! The Scribe is an Arcane Leader and secondary Controller who specializes in creating zones of magical concepts. While the class is still in a rough stage balance-wise, I'd love some feedback from the internet while I get...

Hello! I'm making a series of Paragon Paths for Paladins, each one themed after a different deity to better focus the themes of their respective gods. Unfortunately I'm still a little shaky on the balance issues, so I figured I'd throw a couple of examples and see if I can't stress test them...

Help! I'm in Boise for the summer, but have tragically left all of my fellow players and gaming supplies back home! I'd be more than willing to play any roleplaying game that comes my way, and I'd even DM a D&D 4th Edition game (as it's the only system I'm comfortable with GMing for...

As many of you guys probably will agree with me on, sometimes creating a class or build or race or whatever from scratch can be a pain. You'll fiddle with it, make a few ideas, sketch out some sample names for later content, then let it lay fallow as you jump onto a different project. It's a...

No, seriously, someone please talk me out of this. It's too much. Unicorn Ability Scores: +2 Charisma, +2 Wisdom or +2 Strength Size: Medium Speed: 7 Squares Vision: Low-light Languages: Common, Elven Skill Bonuses: +2 Heal, +2 Nature Fey Origin: Your species is native to the Feywild, so...

Does Eldritch Pact (Hybrid) count as the regular Eldritch Pact class feature? Because if so, this: just became my hybrid Warlock's new best friend. What, exactly, is stopping me from taking the feat literally and having two pact boons and three Warlock at-wills (Eldritch Blast from the hybrid...

Douchebag “What are you going to do about it, punk? Yeah, that’s what I thought.” Class Traits Role: Controller. You force your will on your foes in a myriad of ways, obstructing them, weakening their resolve, and generally making them wish they could stick their hand in a dragon’s mouth...

I'm having a hard time coming up with a good noncombat encounter for the cave my players are running through. It's been infested by mind-controlling ooze creatures, but other than the monstrous humanoids that have been enslaved it's uninhabited; i.e., no settlements, ruins, or man-made traps...

The Rules: The monster must have at least one vulnerability to an energy type (fire, cold, lightning, thunder, acid, poison, radiant, necrotic, psychic, force) The monster cannot have the undead keyword and have a radiant vulnerability The monster cannot have the fire keyword and a cold...

While trying to roll up a new concept character (a Goblin monster tamer) I started heavily reading the new Beastmaster Ranger rules, especially the pets. A few calculations later, I came up with a good comparison chart; I won't put up the entire table here, so allow me to summarize. Bear...
