    O.G.R.E: Online Generic Randomizer Engine

    Nor have I. I'd like to make the arguement that gendered forms and plural forms should be builtins, though, as they are going to be commonly encountered, and having a consistent method would help. Edit: Also, where do I go with bug reports for the website?

    O.G.R.E: Online Generic Randomizer Engine

    Yes it is. What I'm thinking might work is a tag that lets you specify 2 forms, and another that grabs a plural if available. Something like having {plural|staff|staves} in a table, and then {pl{Octangula{Example}}} returning "staves" if that line is rolled. If {pl} doesn't find a {plural} tag...

    O.G.R.E: Online Generic Randomizer Engine

    So, I've run into an interesting problem. I'm looking for a way to specify both the singular and plural form of something, without having to fork the table and worrying about them being out of sync. For most words, this will be simple, but some words just don't pluralize easily by adding one (or...

    Saying goodbye with a one-shot

    I was considering the Druid to be a defender/controller, rather than just a controller, since they are CON secondary and able to be on the front lines. And while I agree somewhat with the idea of letting the players create their own characters, I don't know who will be playing (as the group...

    Saying goodbye with a one-shot

    First of all, hello. I've been lurking for a while, but this is my first thread here. And it comes under some less than ideal circumstances. Next Saturday (the 15th) will probably be the last time I see my local gaming group, as I am moving away. And, as a thank you for everything the group has...

    Ideas for spicing up a Far Realm encounter

    That feels really kinda evil, to me. Almost like it's a line that I would not be willing to cross. I guess that this is where it helps if you know your players really well, and knowing how far you can take something like that.

    Alternate Accuracy Mechanics

    Maybe you need to turn it on its head. What if the dice roll is not the amount of damage you are doing, but the amount of damage you're not doing? I don't know how well this assumption would work for your system, but let's assume that the ideal amount of damage a hit does is 12 (or in the...

    D&D 4E 4e-style Roguelikes

    I'm trying to think now how you'd represent the whole action economy of 4e in a system which usually has a very different action economy, as well as all of the other things that are very different in a traditional roguelike. Minor brainstorm incoming: First of all, representing the...

    Has anyone figured out the meta rules of 4th edition??

    For power level of powers, I suggest looking at powers that just do damage, with very little bonus. For example, the Fighter has the option to take a level 29 daily that is 7[W] and reliable. Past that (and treating [W] as roughly 1d8 for non-weapon powers), I think that eyeballing is all there is.

    Help me Choose a Dragon

    Which makes the Druid effectively +10, since the system assumes that NADs are an average of 2 less than AC. This doesn't feel that horrible to me. A level 6 dragon would be EL+2 (+1 for being one level higher, +1 for being used against a party of 4), which is a hard fight on paper, but not...

    D&D 4E 4e and reasons why a resurection would fail.

    The rare item Helm of Seven Deaths also prevent ressurection while the soul is still trapped inside one of the stones.

    Augment Attack - expend only on a hit ??

    There's an item that (IIRC) can once per encounter regain the power points spent on a power that missed everything.

    Dark Sun Dwarf Cleric Help

    I don't know much about how your group plays, but in the D&D game I'm in, we have a Dward Warlord who's quite effective when he gets up close and personal. Being a Warlord doesn't mean that you have to be a lazy "let other people do the fighting for me" character. Also, as a Hybrid, you'll only...

    Dice statistics help - chase odds?

    Slight, necro, but: Assuming that the odds are equal to move in each direction, there's a very simple rule for the average duration of random walks. You multiply together the distances in both directions. Here, it's 3 each way, so 3*3=9. This does assume that one side wins the roll each time...

    Kobold Print & Play Tokens

    It eventually renders, but takes a while. The issue is less noticable when it first opens, and more when zooming in. Didn't try opening it in Inkscape yet, might try that to see if I can spot something.

    Is my Dark Naga unfair?

    Is my Dark Naga unfair?

    Per MM3 math, Controllers no longer get +1 against a NAD. +22 vs Will should become +21. You might want to adjust the recharge rate for Impenetrable Gaze. 3+ rolling twice a round means it has just an 11.1% chance of not being able to use it at least once per round (dropping to 3.7% when...

    D&D 4E The New Monster Math, Explained and Expanded

    I think that around mid-Heroic, non-multiples of 5 are useful, as 5 isn't enough but 10 is too much. Beyond that, I don't know, but I'm not fundamentally opposed to the idea.

    The Whole Implement - Wizard Powers for Arcanists

    Well, RAW, Magic Missile doesn't benefit from DIS, Focus, or item bonuses (which all explicitly say "damage rolls"), and your wording supports this. That's part of what makes the power not be as broken. I do wonder if your rate of increment is too fast, though. Maybe 1 per tier instead of 1 per...
