Great job guys

Read the posts up to here. Looks pretty good to me. I'd like to toss in some things I'd been considering. Feel free to critique.

Black Tentacles
Warlock (Star) Attack 1
A writhing mass of tentacles springs from your target and tries to hinder action.
Encounter Arcane, Implement, Conjuration
Standard Action Ranged 15
Target: One Creature
Attack: Cha vs. Fortitude
Hit: 1d4 + Cha damage and target is encumbered (move reduced to 4, save ends)
Sustain Minor: 1d4 damage (save ends)

Scorch
Warlock (Demon) Attack 1
A swath of flame erupts from the ground extending from you to burn your enemy.
Encounter Arcane, Implement, Fire
Standard Action Line 5
Target: All in line (see special)
Attack: Cha vs. Reflex
Hit: 2d6 + Cha fire damage and ongoing fire 5 (save ends)
Special: This attack strikes targets in order from closest to furthest. It stops after the first successful attack.

Forewarn (Feat)
You and your party have practiced this maneuver to near perfection.
Tier: Heroic
Benefit: Your allies get a +2 to all defenses against your powers.

What system is being used to determine archetype and bonuses from levels for monsters? Are people doing it by estimate?

One of my players wants to play a barbarian in the next game. So, until we have an actual barbarian class:

Barbarian (Paladin of Rage)

Replace "radiant" damage with strength damage.

Rage: Wade In = Channel Divinity: Divine Mettle

You wade deeper into the fray, dragging your allies with you.

Rage: Adrenalin Surge = Channel Divinity: Divine Strength

Feel the burn.

Talk Trash = Divine Challenge

Your barbed words demoralize your gutless and useless opponents.

Get Your Ass In Gear = Lay on Hands

A quick shove gets your ally back into the fight.

Death Glee = Bolstering Strike

You live for battle.

Bloodlust = Holy Strike

The sight of blood sends you into a murderous frenzy.

Cry Havock = Shielding Smite

Your opponents quake before your onslaught.

On Pain of Death

If something won't die, then you need to hit it harder.

Wow, ya'll have been busy.Lots of stuff for me to add.

I found a decent skeleton for the flayer fitz and its done. It'll be up as soon as I add the new ones (pretty soon I hope, but I gotta get Keterys' stuff done). I'll add the stuff to the flayer now so I don't forget.

Wow I get to finally do a Powers OCC, very nice makes Malcolm, I'll throw them in. As far as critiqueing them goes, we'll have to leave that to others because I have no head for it. They look good though and I'll put them in. Should come one come along and change your mind later, I'll make revisions.

Delgar-lord if I didn't mispell your name. Sorry bout that and know that it's fixed.

Ohe yeah, and good idea for a barbarian

not to clutter up the thread, but here's something you may consider your friend doing claw. I posted it to my livejournal for my group (in cali) to peruse.

http://malcolm-n.livejournal.com/73260.html#cutid1

It was made with the help/consideration of people on the site here. Now to stay on topic:

Scare
Warlock (All) Attack 1
Your target cannot take its eyes off of you, thinking you are its greatest fear.
At Will Arcane, Implement
Standard Action Ranged 10
Target: One Creature
Attack: Cha vs. Will
Hit: 1d6 + Cha and target takes a -2 to its reflex defense (save ends).
Special: Your target must be able to see you.

VB, this is the first time I've had to peek in here..good job.

Some additional effects I wanted to work on, but really don't have the patience for.

(Race) Slayer - Much as the ranger ability, was thinking gnomes/halflings for kobolds (added +2 attack, +2 damage which ramps up to +5 damage when opponent is bloodied)

Awe - Minor action forces all adjacent enemies to shift back one square...sort of a crowd control ability which I have taken from a Dynasty Tactics game.

(Race) Defender - Escentially a take a blow for an ally of the same race and heal them the same amount in divine (racial deity) favor for the sacrifice...definately a recharge ability / encounter ability. Tried to make it work when I made an attempt at putting together a flind, but in retrospect it just isn't something a gnoll would be comfortable doing....even a LE gnoll.

Hard Pressed Flurry- An all out attack which triggers attacks of opportunity when used but is far more powerful then normal (is not canceled by sucessful AoO's in the 4e tradition). Thinking a +3 to hit and two attacks as opposed to one, the second attack drawing the AoO.

Up the Hill - A charge attack which targets both the primary defender and upon a sucessful hit does splash damage (probably strength modifier akin to the "cleave" ability) to someone directly behind that defender. Sort of a formation buster that I see Orc Raiders using when they fight Hobgoblins. Would probably add that the weapon used must have reach 2, polearms, long long spears etc.

Anyway not much, but something.

Updates

Fitz-look for Monstrous 1.4 in the first thread, your critters are up!

Malcolm N-I'm going to get a new OCC up in a bit for powers and feats (CharacterOCC). Good work on those.

Wiman-welcome aboard, as far as those things go I like them, perhaps you should get with Malcolm or someone to help you flesh them out. I am poor at such things. But ideas are what we are all about here and I am glad to see them.

I am tossing up a 1 page quicksheet for those of us that plan on using power cards for our characters. I'll get around to making a second page as soon as I can.

Anyway if I've left someone out just step up and slap me, I am all thumbs today.

Quick Sheet

EDIT-Here's that Pregen (if Quickleaf or Clight dont like it I will revise) I am including the cards in 2 versions (PDF and DOC) for clarity issues.

Gnome Tinker 1
Cards PDF
Cards DOC

Anyway, just let me know

Was I unclear?

 

[VBMEW-01]

Neceros-I had no answer there, but I think a lot of it is "best guess" and comparative work.

Malcolm N-The Character OCC is now up, including both feats and powers color-coded for simplicity (I used orange for feats and gray for utilities since no colors have been announced for them, to my knowledge)

EDIT-Well I had to do a couple of quick fixes to CharacterOCC, but now its done.

Wheew!!! I am now up to date!
