    New DM + Homebrew Campaign = Any Advice?

    Good, thanks for the input. Abdul, I definitely plan on using the skill challenge idea, and I will try to start with each player individually so there isn't as much down time (If I end up having each player seperated after the revisions are done). But the plot hook problem can be solved...

    New DM + Homebrew Campaign = Any Advice?

    Excellent Feedback you guys. And the good news is this time I hit the right button :p. I'll be sure to revamp the prison so the characters start a little less seperated and get together faster. I'll be sure to take all your guyses advice, Every bit helps!

    New DM + Homebrew Campaign = Any Advice?

    EDIT: Since I didn't want to make a new post I'll say it here. I like your suggestions Kzach, It'll save me a lot of headache. Only mod is that they start in a prison, and their group forms after they escape. Actually after this paragraph I'll post the prologue concept. Also, something...

    Best use of rituals you have seen so far?

    Probably, but that is a really nit picky thing. If he was that anal about the rules we probably wouldn't let him DM. Now, If I started abusing it hardcore then he would apply it. But storing a few corpses I'm going to use for later purposes is hardly abusing.

    Caltrops?

    I stand corrected, I was speaking from general knowledge. Sorry.

    New DM + Homebrew Campaign = Any Advice?

    As stated in the above math equation, I am a New DM with no prior experience. I am also an ambitious moron who wants to create his own homebrew campaign. I already have the world and some flavor-ish stuff made up for the campaign. I have also made a rough prologue for the players, to assess...

    Best use of rituals you have seen so far?

    I used Tensers Floating Disc with a high arcana roll to ferry each of our PC's over 20 sleeping kruthik minions. Very useful when you have a Paladin in Plate Mail. I Also used Gentle Repose to preserve some corpses, which I then stored inside a Portable Hole. Cantrips are also good for this...

    Caltrops?

    Caltrops would be extremely lethal to anyone on a mount (The Original intention of Caltrops in rl). If a horse steps on caltrops they are out for a while, or dead from being crippled in the middle of battle. But since you obviously don't want everyones mount being destroyed whenever they step...

    Cambion, Griffon, Lycanthrope, Satyr, and Vampire

    I agree with Fede. These have excellent flavor after I look at them, but they are sort of overpowered. What you could do for flight substitution, is A) Make them encounter powers, or make a paragon tier feat that allows them to use their wings effectively. Regeneration is massively op early...

    Cambion, Griffon, Lycanthrope, Satyr, and Vampire

    These are pretty cool, but a note on cambions. It says in the MM that cambions are violent and conjoin the worst of both parents. So it seems slightly unrealistic that they get +2 to charisma, considering how much they are hated by anything that isn't a demon. But then again charisma is your...

    DnD Classes and Races Book: Bard

    Alright, so I found the most bad A homebrew (I think it is) book ever. I hope. I've never played 3e but I think this is some classes from 3e converted to 4e. So even though I was asking about Warlord stats earlier, I looked at the Bard and liked it immensely better, what do you guys think...

    Warlord Help!

    Wow you guys rock, going to make an Eladrin Taclord now, put the 8 in dex and then it'll go to ten and I'll effectively get no negs. Thanks for the help.

    Help with Rogue

    I really really feel like a heel for barging in with no constructive advice buuuut. I posted this question in another discussion and I feel it's misplaced and will not get replies, and you guys seem to be on topic. But I am currently making a Human Tactical Warlord, and I can't seem to get his...

    Warlord Help!

    My DM wants me to make a Warlord, and that was all peachy and stuff until I tried to flesh out his ability scores! I am playing as a human, I've considered Dragonborn but I don't like the flavor and I like the versatile human feats as opposed to Dragonborn. I tried going for 16, 16, 12, 11...

    What's with ICP?

    Alright, don't hit me please, but I just listened to ICP for the first time today. Now this singularly unpleasant experience took place on Youtube, and was accompanied by a plethora of comments referring to "The Family" and something like "mmfcl" and a bunch of other things. Finding rap in...

    raider class concept

    I haven't read all of the character, but take a look at the lancer. It would take some modification though. Like substituting the lance abilities for abilities that use a different weapon, and changing the name. I know the lancer has a few push/pull/slide attacks and I think I saw a panic. But...

    Superior Training

    This is a really good Idea, I approve. Supierior Slings and Supierior Quarterstaves! Whew! Also, I have a question on a similar note (Not worth starting a new thread). Do you think the prereqs on Burning Blizzard and the feats that give spells extra damage should be changed? I don't...
