I'd love to hear people's thoughts on my new fighting-man subclass that takes a cue from Essentials and runs with it. Thanks in advance! Fighting-Man Subclass Legends & Labyrinths Just added the sneak-thief subclass! Sneak-Thief Subclass Legends & Labyrinths And now the magic-user...

I came up with a crazy idea about quickening the determination of scoring a hit on a foe by speeding up the times it takes to add up the total attack roll, i.e., adding the attack roll modifier to the d20 roll, by using smaller numbers for both attacks and defenses. It takes a tiny bit of work...

Damn it! I just posted my first in a series of articles regarding player character dominions in December and now I see WotC is doing an article on them this month! So for those of you who don't subscribe or who are just interested in different take, here's a link to the first short article...

Someone has probably already done something like this, but you can check out my take on zero-level PCs at the link below. They're meant for introducing very inexperienced players to the game or for challenging very experienced players to survive level zero and make it to 1st. :) Zero-Level PCs...

I was reading a discussion somewhere online (and now for some reason I can't find it -- if anyone knows, can you please post a link?) about whether the DM or the players should be rolling the PCs' ability and skills checks. I do something between the two extremes (which happens to fit my...

For anyone interested, here are my thoughts for encouraging an exploration-based play-style by altering the system for experience point awards. (This, of course, is just one element of an entire system -- or reskinning -- that emphasizes this play-style. Check out the rest of my blog to see more...

I really like rituals, but I realize that most groups ignore them (for both cost and casting time reasons). With these house rules I've attempted to create a simple system that encourages their use. If you're interested, you can check out those rules here (along with all my house rules that...

One of my players made a cool Essentials character sheet you can fold up and stick into your copy of Heroes of the Fallen Lands. I'm posting a link here for anyone interested. New Essentials Sheet! « Legends & Labyrinths
