    Tarot as an At-Will

    Could be better as a class: I agree, it really could. It certainly does seem to make a better class mechanic than a feat, but I also wanted to be allow various classes to use it: a thrown-weapon specialist, a bard, a warlock, etc.--these could all be easily justifiable choices. There's alot of...

    Tarot as an At-Will

    Greetings. It's been a while. :) I'm looking for advice and criticism on the following, not alternatives, and look forward to hearing from you all. ---- Minor Arcana: This is taken as a feat. [attribute-mod] refers to the attribute chosen when the feat is taken. As a free action, the player...

    Kenku, Merrow, Sahuagin, Thri-Kreen, and Trow!

    Two bows? A thri-kreen ranger would be a one-man ballista. Two flurry-of-blows? Of course, the monk gets playtested next month, but even so: if we can assume that the 4e monk is anything like the 3e monk, the kreen would be amazing. amazingly amazing. can this also equate to wielding a very...

    Using weapons as implements

    This reminds me of the Kensai. Alot. And that's a good thing :). Anyone tried producing a Kensai yet, or should we wait for the Monk to come out first? The wording for this feat could be useful in that application. Nah; could lead to more problems down the road. The warlock dagger implement...

    D&D 4E Towards Ravenloft 4E: Fear, Horror and Madness

    Mesh: not bad! best so far. to the rest (ok, mesh too if he wants lol): Scare me once, shame on you... Look, if Joe the Barbarian sees the walking corpse of his grandmother, and is forced to kill it, yeah, that should effect his sanity a little bit; but the next time he faces off against a...

    Another take on the Necromancer class

    TLW, what would you think of shedding hitpoints to heal an ally, or taking a con hit for a period of time? Reading the flavor, it seems to me that a Necro could get a little masochistic, cutting himself to heal others with the life in his still warm blood. Course, I like it as is. Mine was only...

    Core classes. How are they balanced?

    YAY! you got the irony. You win a trophy: A golden monkey atop a marble dais, which is etched with the words: "He wouldn't let it die, you couldn't help but watch."

    Core classes. How are they balanced?

    You're right. Maybe we should just let the thread die, since it's been brought up 1096410324601275603756213 times already and still isn't considered feeble or vain....?

    Revised monk

    ^ What he said. While it's interesting to think of a more swashbuckling brawler, or a wrestling bandit, it's not really a monk anymore. Martial arts are indeed based on perception and intuition rather than how good your smile looks.

    Core classes. How are they balanced?

    Then what would you call what you're doing? If you were five your mother would agree with me, it's whining. So you're doing it for logical reasons; that doesn't change anything. "A feeble, peevish complaint." I think it qualifies. Now to -my- logical reason for bringing it up: It is rare for...

    Ability modifiers for children / adolescents

    Charisma and Wisdom are hard to get right for the younger ones... Not only is youth attractive, but it brings with it the unrestrained randomness of a being who has not yet learned to keep it's mouth shut.

    Stormlord overpowered?

    This reminds me of a God (Epic to Deific) character for a campaign i want to start... at level 30: Cleric 5, Fighter 5, Kensai 10, Stormlord 10. Used a Large greatspear with monkey grip. Level max for the campaign is 50, all 20 of those last levels will be Paladin (with some epicly epic mount...

    Redefining the cleric

    Based on the deities who offer certain domains, you may want to: ~put Sun under Healer ~Add Protection to Healer also.... Can't an evil cleric can heal his undead minions using inflicts, and therefore have a healer focus? He would then not be able to use many of the domains allowed to himin the...

    Revised monk

    Charisma isn't "force of will." It is "force of personality." I doubt a monk, someone who is essentially a hermit that can fight, would be either loud or overly concerned with his popularity. Suggestion: maintain the wisdom requirement.

    Can I use a ray to make a called shot?

    agreed inf. It's really a whole philosophical debate, honestly; does your DM support the idea that a thing is made up of parts; or support the idea that a thing is entirely partless? The former, and he'll be hard-pressed to figure out when one object stops and another begins; the latter, and he...

    House Rule for ranged bonuses

    Though to be fair Nifft, those differences certainly seem more intuitive to me. As an archer, wouldn't I care to the utmost for my bow, as an extension of my will; and sure, I'd enjoy shooting with fine arrows, but it's not as important by any means. I really like the concept of bow to-hit and...
