Finishing Moves
Ah, Gencon has come and gone. Pathfinder sold out like mad, WFPG is releasing a 3rd edition, and Dark Sun returns next year. Very cool indeed, especially Dark Sun. One of the major attributes of Athas was the environment and its impact on the game unlike most other D&D worlds before it, which is the inspiration for this next exercise.Create a power or feat using the environment around a target against them. Environment can include the terrain they stand on, obstacles, cover, concealment, or any other similar matter on the grid during combat. Your creation must make use of an existing environment, not create one. For example, you can make a power utilizing existing forms of concealment (such as mist or fog) but you cannot create it. You can include a secondary effect granting a bonus to the PC activating the power, but the primary attack or effect of your creation must affect the target in some way. You may utilize a power which can modify an existing feature of terrain.
WHAT IS NSFW?
Work is boring. Gaming is fun. Work should be more like gaming.
Not Suitable For Work is a new addition to Combat Advantage, the free 4e series of PDFs from Emerald Press PDF Publishing. Every month will have a theme to which any number of brainstorming exercises will be made. Each week or so, we will post a new thread for 4e material utilizing that theme and everyone is open to submit their concepts on EN World. The trick to this game is that you must rely on your memory of the game and cannot use any supplements, core rulebooks, or online references - simply use your innate knowledge of the game to create new material on the fly. Accuracy is not immediately required - these are brainstorms for new ideas, concepts, and add-ons to 4e. Throw in your ideas, no matter how crazy they are because you never know what they may lead to.
NSFW is not a contest and is designed solely as a recreational design exercise for those of you stuck at work, school, or anywhere else on your lunch breaks with nothing to do. Waiting for that report to come back from management? Homework? Eww. Check out the theme and post your ideas for this week’s exercise. There’s no voting, no deadlines, or bad ideas. It’s all about having a little bit of fun while the boss isn’t looking. Enough talk!
Post your ideas below. Remember these are exercises built for enjoyment and mental exercise of the game. Accuracy is not required on every little detail and some mistakes are forgiveable. (See?) If you'd like to post a revised version of your entry, just be sure to type in which version under Reason for Edits. If you want to post more than one entry, go crazy. It's all just in the name of having fun while you're not supposed to.[/SIZE]
