Ok, we all know that 4e characters are far more powerful than their 3.x counterparts. But exactly how powerful? How many 3e characters would it take to bring down a 4e character of a similar level? What would the level difference between a 3e and a 4e character have to be for the fight to be...

This fork has grown out of a discussion in this thread: http://www.enworld.org/forum/4e-fan-creations-house-rules/258704-mad-science-idea-needs-help.html . ------ Looking at the 4e classes and power-sources, it shouldn't be too hard to create a functioning sci-fi reskin of the game. ------...

These are the rules that I have put together from the ongoing discussion over in the 4eRules forum (which really should have been forked to here a long time ago). This discussion has resolved around disarming, and weather such a practice is applicable to 4th ed without breaking the game. The...

This is a simple little rule that I came up with that I thought I may as well share. It is available to all characters, as part of character cration. Personality You may shift one of your racial modifiers to another ability score. You cannot choose a score that you already get a bonus to. It...

I'm looking on running a couple of games where the static bonuses provided by magic items are incorporated into character progression. Magic items will still provide powers, but not enhancement bonuses. Has anyone tried implementing anything like this? Any tips and advice would be appreciated.

This is my take on the Martial Wizard, inspired by Malcom_N's Alternate Power Source threads. A detailed explanation of the design goals can be found on any of his threads on the subject. Gadgeteer (martial wizard) Magic? Alchemy? Bah, if you look close enough, everything’s just science...

I just put up a post in another forum that used a word meaning 'to chortle maliciously, and part of it got censored. The word was (Minus the . ) sni.gger which came out s:):):):):):). It looks like it detected 'derogatory word for people who naturally have lots of melanin', and screened it...

With the new hybrid rules being playtested, there's bound to be a few interesting experiments around. Some of them may be powerful, some characterful, and some just plain loopy! If you have an idea, share it here. (one I just came up with: Thaneborn Barbarian/Bard - Hard drinking, hard...

Here is my take on having a tier before the heroic tier: Imaginatively named the 'Pre-heroic tier'! I've gone for more of a 'how the characters became heroes' feel, rather than a 'let's run around and farm pigs!' situation. There are a couple of things that I should probably explain...

I'm relatively new to this community, having only joined since the release of fourth edition, and the openness, support and creative nature of the people here continually amazes me. People here have taken this new edition, accepted its strengths and, rather than complaining incessantly about...

Ok, I know that when 4e came out there was this big uproar (or at least a bit of chatter) about how it would be practically impossible to do combat without a grid map. I was wondering if anyone has tried to play using 'traditional' storytelling combat, and how much sucess (if any) they've had...

Here's a draft for the social encounter system that I've been brainstorming. It's still pretty basic, and there are a lot of specifics that need to be covered, but I thought I'd post the work in progress and see what people think. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. (I haven't posted it...

It seems like many companies are chosing to veto the GSL, publishing Fourth Edition material on their own terms. How are they going about this and what are the likely ramifications?

For my 4th edition product, a campaign setting, I want to present an alternate alignment system (based on the law/chaos axis, rather than the good/evil). Is this permissible under the GSL? If not, is there any way around this? Perhaps by presenting this alternate system as an option, rather...
