I am building a Longbow Bard using the Prescient Bard from Arcane Power. He is a Half-Elf, taking Ranger Twin Strike as his Dilantte power. I plan to take additional Ranger powers using multiclass feats, along with Combat Virtuoso to replace all the Dex attacks with Cha instead. But! I am...

I am converting some old A Series modules from 1e into 4e. I see the most-basic rules for creating NPCs in the DMG, but wonder if there is a more detailed process identified anywhere? Basically I am looking for a step-by-step guide for Dummies style. Any tips or references are helpful!

Hiya Folks! I am about to begin converting the A1-4 Slavelords module series for some 4e gaming old school style. This is a placeholder thread for now, but I will begin posting over the next couple of days. Any feedback and/or suggestions will be welcome. I plan a heroic tier conversion.

Forked from: Forked: "Math and Grind" or "Why Rechan is Right" (From: "4e One-trick ponies") I found these comments interesting (hence the forked thread). The context is that both Rechan and Cadfan preferred more tactical powers, with the thought that combat will be less "grind-y" with...

I am planning to take the Student of Caiphon paragon path (Dragon 366) for my Warlock, but noticed that its Power Levels do not match the guidelines in the character advancement page of the PHB (p 29) or other paragon paths. Looking at all of them in FRPG, each paragon path has Attack Power 11...

Forked from: I'm an archer: why shouldn't I be a beast master ranger? Keteras also said: "I like Prime Shot on my warlock - but then, I also routinely go into melee range to provide/use flanks, trigger hellish rebuke and defender's marks, and off-tank with temporary hit points. To each their...

Hey, there, does anybody have any insight on whether Heroes will resume now that the writers strike is over? I know there was supposed to be an Origins show which got cancelled, but not sure about the rest of the regular season.

Hey, folks, does anybody know of any official or unofficial Riddick conversion material for d20? I was nooding about an Egyption-influenced d20 Future game, and watching the collected Riddick DVD set over the last few days, I realized there is a lot to draw from there. In fact, in some ways it...

Hiya! Inspired by the Kuo Toa Whip information in the recent WOTC web enhancement, I am thinking about a Kuo-Toa Ranger/Cleric build and would appreciate suggestions. (In fact, I might go even funkier and do a Ranger/Monk/Cleric using the Ranger/Monk multiclass feat from Complete Adventurer--...

Is there a magic item or masterwork option that offers variable Strength bonus modifiers on a composite bow? I am contemplating the archer variant barbarian from UA, but would hate to give up the extra strength damage bonus while he is Raging. If such an item does not exist, how would one go...

Hey, folks! I am working on converting a Star Frontiers module to d20 Future to run for a game at GenCon. Unfortunately, I do not really know the Star Frontiers rules at all (the last time I played the original was about 1983..!) so converting to d20 Modern/Future is proving difficult for me...

Hey, ENWorlders! I am currently playing a Scout (the class, not just the role- heh) in Age of Worms. I am building him as a classic Skirmisher (the role, *and* the class ability- heh), with Expeditious Dodge and Mobility heading towards Spring Attack and Shot on the Run. Here is my question...

Hiya, ENWorlders! I finally got around to picking up the Heroes of Battle book, after finding that I really enjoyed the Heroes of Horror. So far, I must say, I thought the latter was much better than the former... but that is the subject of a different post! :) Anyway... one of the high...

Yep, that's right, a weirdo. I am thinking of an alternate character for the Age of Worms campaign I am about to start, and guessing that I will need one with the PC death rate in the Paizo campaigns. LOL Anyway, my very general- and sometimes contradictory- ideas include the following: *...

Hey, folks! Well, after the tons of nifty new classes and feats available in WOTC books from the past year, I am finally building the character concept that I most enjoy. I am planning out a Scout/Ranger/Shadowdancer, and would like some input on feats. I am not trying to twink, exactly...

This is a quickie; I read the "Bonus Spells" for Dragon Disciple PrC as being an additional spell up to the highest level the character can cast. Good so far. My questions are: 1. Is the Bonus Spell only an additional spell known, or additional spell slot per day, or both? 2. Does the...

Sorry if this is a silly question... Some Prestige Classes provide advancement with Core Class Abilities as if another level of the class was taken. Spellcasting levels is a common one of course, but I have also seen Monk Abilities and Druid Abilities advancement as well. My question is: if...

Hiya, folks. I finished modifying my formerly rogue/cleric/ex-monk to be a CAd Ninja/cleric instead. (I realize that from a pure game mechanics POV, this may be a silly move since the class is relatively weak, but it 'feels' cleaner.) Now I have some questions as I struggle to understand...

Has anybody else found this great book? I picked it up on a lark at the bookstore this past weekend, and really enjoyed it. A cover blurb compared it to Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and I think that is a good example- it is a bit light, but fun stuff. I think D&D players would really enjoy it...

Hiya, folks. I am looking to the esteemed ENWorld Community for a rules interpretation of the differences between Sudden Strike and Sneak Attack. Reading both, the only difference I noticed was that Sneak Attack can be used for non-lethal attacks with the right weapon (like sap) while Sudden...
