    Language skill with ranks [Forked from: Perform skills = Languages?]

    If I was inclined to go beyond the 1 rank per language approach, I would do something along these lines. In a game where skill points are as important as they are in 3e, spending upwards of 10 points for a language is rarely, if ever going to happen. With your system some points can be granted...

    Critique this house rule - blank spell slots

    As an alternative, you could only let specialist take the feat and the spell has to be from their specialized school of magic. This would bring it back in line sorcerer feat.

    Attack w/ spear using Dex

    I was just showing what I thought was a great alternative to the traditional thrown spear. This I would consider allowing as it would not be near as awkward as trying to throw a spear two-handed.

    What is your alignment?

    Being imprisoned does not justify murder.

    Attack w/ spear using Dex

    You are correct, they typically thrown with one hand. With that in mind if you watch the Viking vs Samurai episode of Deadliest Warrior they do a demonstration of how the Vikings used to throw two spears at once. Viking vs Samurai

    What is your alignment?

    This is well stated and along the lines of what I was going to say but was at work and couldn't put that much into it at the time. Even ignoring everything else, the dragonborn has now done an unquestionably evil act by killing someone that was unconcious, helpless and posed no threat to...

    What is your alignment?

    The character may not be an "evil" but the act in and of itself is evil. There were numerous ways to handle the situation without killing the man. But just to make sure, the dragonborn used his breath weapon reducing the remains to a pool of aicdic goo. Evil is often a downward spiral.

    What is your alignment?

    You could have dropped him off far enough away from town for you to get there, complete your business, and get out. You could have tied him up and just held him prisoner until everything was done. You could have knocked him unconscious and left him on the side of the road with a days worth of...

    What is your alignment?

    One question I am surprised no one has asked yet of the OP; What if the halfling was not telling the truth? After all, if the hobgoblins where slave traders wouldn't they have tried to capture the players as well instead of running? To the guy that robbed and killed everyone for the shipment...

    Sorcerous Blade Channeling and basic melee attacks

    With my statement I was not clear. I agree, and I don't allow it in my game but if a DM were to allow, it would not be game breaking.

    Sorcerous Blade Channeling and basic melee attacks

    This is the correct translation of it. It does not allow it. However, as many have said, if your DM chooses to allow it, it is not overtly overpowered.

    Resist and Damage type

    Ok you lost me on how you reached that conclusion. Consider each a different entity but only take the lower common denominator. In your example, 10 fire resist.

    Heroic PC death

    His character would not willingly abandon his companions. I like the breath weapon on the bridge. I had considered a BBEG and not sure why I did not think of it this way. Maybe just distracted at work and what-not.

    Heroic PC death

    I started running my first 4e adventure a few weeks ago. It is an Eberron campaign and everything seems to be going well. Then the other day one of my players expresses that he is not happy with his character (dragonborn warlord). At first, I thought he was going to give it a few levels but...

    Starting Gear House Rules

    At the beginning of a campaign, I give my players a low level magic item (of my choice) based on their character background. This promotes the players to invest more time with their background and roleplaying.

    What's so great about Obsidian Portal?

    I just started using Obsidan Portal and so far it is great. Like a lot of other people, I work and go to school, DM a game, play in another game and still try to maintain a life. I can access OP from anywhere I have internet access and update information or look something up if my players have...

    Thanks for all the responses and help. I wanted to make sure I was doing it right and not short changing anyone.

    Designing encounter map

    In my previous Eberron campaign (3.5), the party had to fight a Warforged Titan in a Cannith Foundry below Sharn. The titan was much more powerful than them but I had dropped clues that they might be able to break the supports for the platform they were on and drop the titan into the lava flows...
