Hey people, I’ve finally found a strategic focus for my character Woe Chinua, and would like to use his overhaul to achieve it. It basically amounts to switching around two of his initial abilities and replacing a feat. So, switch initial Con & Wis from 14 & 12 to 12 & 14, and replace...

The latest D&D Updates included the Strength of Valor feat, changing it to exactly match our houserule. As updates are implemented immediately upon release, this makes our houserule unnecessary. Thus, I propose we remove it.

As most of you probably noticed, EN World crashed and was down for more than a day and a half. Before it crashed, a proposal was in line to pass unless another vote would be cast against it. By the time EN World was back up, the 48 hour period in which the outcome could be swayed ran out. Based...

The L4W World Records! I remember discussion of making a collection of records on L4W to put on the Wiki, so I got inspired to brainstorm some possibilities of what that list might include. This is a rough draft, where the intent is that in most cases you insert “Character Name (Player Name)”...

The Forces of Darkness Encroach Upon the Transitive Isles! Children Hide Under Tables, Damsels Cry Out For Help, Dwarves Sober Up! Heroes Rise to the Challenge Yet They Are Lost Without a Light to Show Them the Way! They Call Out For Guidance, For Wisdom… For You! Do You Have What It Takes to...

With all these ideas in the general discussion thread being thrown out for the equivalent of an Underdark in our setting, I thought it might be a good idea to branch out a new thread to discuss it. The basic premise is to collaborate on ideas for how to realize our own unique version of an...

The main Living 4th Edition Discussion Thread is getting massive so I thought it prudent with a seperate thread to discuss characters that have been sent to be approved. Judges and reviewers can post here to let you know when your character has been approved or if there is a problem with your...

Hi there. I'm having some trouble with PMs on EN World - namely, that I can't seem to find them. I've been kindly told I could enable PMs by going to the Options page at my account settings, find a section called Private Messaging and click an Enable Private Messaging checkbox. The section...

As promised, my latest work is an attempt to make a fleshed out place for githyanki, githzerai, and mind flayers in L4W. Central themes for this island are war, racial history, psionics, and destiny. Ea A few decades ago, in the deepest reaches of illithid society an elder brain came to know a...

I’ve been meaning to write a number of elements for suggested incorporation in L4W earlier, but unfortunately don’t have a lot of time on my hands. This one I had to get off my chest, however. While I realize that Bacarte – a very delightful conception - is intended to fulfill a good deal of...

Can anybody recommend a good place for 4E play-by-post gaming? Particularly one with combat map features considering how position is so important in 4E, and preferably one that is very frequented/popular so that games run quickly and are easy to find an open game in. Thanks in advance. :)

I was thinking I’d give it a shot and convert some missing baatezu to 4E, particularly two missing classics: the hamatula (barbed devil) and cornugon (horned devil). My first attempt, however, is the falxugon – my favorite devil from Fiendish Codex 2. To start off with, I set up a table to...

The Drawmij’s Instant Summons Con This is not intended as a serious reliable source of income for PCs. It might be used for NPCs, though, as an adventure where the PCs are tricked and need to track down the con man. However, I would advise against crippling their economy with the con for...

I'm making a spear-wielding fighter as my first PC. Since the longspear has reach and the fighter is effective at containing nearby foes, it would be awesome with threathening reach (being able to take AOs on all foes within reach). Is it possible?

I think the design on swarms in 4E as revealed in today’s article is quite reasonable, but one thing I found sorely missing: The new “Bloodied” condition seems like an obvious point to affect swarm mechanics, since you would expect swarms to be significantly less effective when they’ve lost a...

All the 6 characters from D&D Experience look pretty potent, and it made me think about how deadly they would be with focused effort on a single target. Let’s say you have a villain that you want to put up against this party, and you want him bad enough that he can survive at least 1 round of...

http://gadgets.boingboing.net/2008/02/25/exclusive-gallery-du.html I just saw the new D&D Insider Screenshots and the weapon-list struck me in particular. Punching Dagger has been renamed Katar. Bastard Sword and Katana are listed seperately, so presumably work by different mechanics now. All...

The notes from Worlds and Monsters on new Mind Flayer vs Aboleth conflict in 4E just gave me some food for thought, in light of an awesome githyanki game I’m currently playing in. Githyankis, githzerais, and illithids have always been the three planar races with kill-on-sight relations. The...
