[malcolm_n]

Just been busy with the family, mother's day and all. been working on getting the newer thread stuff in; should actually be up to date with it all again on Tuesday. I hope the new epic destiny information spurs some of our nascent designers to action. As it is, I'll be working feverishly on a couple myself

Improved Unarmed Strike

Tier: Heroic
Prerequisites: None
Benefit: Your Unarmed Strikes deal Lethal Damage and you increase there damage by one die. For example this would mean if your unarmed strikes did 1d4 damage they would raise to 1d6.
Special: A Character who has this feat treats there Unarmed Strikes as normal weapons and so you receive a +2 to attack bonus when using them. A rogue may treat an Unarmed Strike as a light blade and treats it as an accurate weapon, receiving a +3 bonus to attacks instead of +2.

Greater Unarmed Strike

Tier: Heroic
Prerequisites: Improved Unarmed Strike
Benefit: Increase the damage of your unarmed strike by one die. For example you would increase 1d4 to 1d6 or 1d6 to 1d8 and so on.

Superior Unarmed Strike

Tier: Heroic
Prerequisites: Greater Unarmed Strike
Benefit/s: You increase your unarmed strike damage by one die. This means if your unarmed strike damage was 1d4 you would increase it to 1d6.

I've posted this elsewhere, but I think it should be included here.

Presenting the Generic 4e Tent-Sheet!

This 4e ‘reference screen’ provides players ‘need to know’ information on their powers, while offering the DM helpful player statistics. Now that combat actively uses a multitude of defenses and that passive skill checks are the norm, it is only natural to keep that information up front and center so that everyone can see it. Tent Sheets help maintain uninterrupted cinematic combat with concise ‘need to know’ information that maintain the 4e ‘minimalist feel’. No clutter, just the important stats that guarantee faster and better game play.

I was inspired by Firebeetles 3e Quick-Sheets, I would thus like to give him credit for the inspiration. I’m offering this as donation-ware and encourage all those who enjoy this ‘Tent Sheet’ to help support Unicef. Let’s give the world a hand before siting down to play.

Enjoy!

TY for the sheet idea. I'll get it on the front.

Whew, busy work lol. Okay, I've combed the 4 pages on this forum and grabbed what's available for compilation. I should have it up by next tuesday. This week's updates include new powers and the PHB classes (haven't quite posted that one, but about to in the morning after sleep.) Yes, sleep good...

 

[malcolm_n]

Added Options OCC and updated Powers OCC based on the Power ideas from the original Options OCC (if that makes sense to you, I want to shake your hand lol). Anyway, Also put the tent sheet up, and working to get the rest updated.

HUGE UPDATE INCOMING

That is, unless the WotC boards shoots down my offer. I was gonna bring them in since more and more people are posting there with original ideas instead. Granted, I'll be looking for redundancy and ignore posts there which are just duplicates from here. Anyway, this should give plenty of life to the compilations and hopefully get us well prepared to make fixes/changes when we get complete rules.

Wow, I just realized how inactive I've been...

Anyway, I thought I'd try my hand at encounter design. It's not quite finished yet, but I'll give you guys the read-aloud text and a stat block.

Encounter in the Workshop[350XP]
As the PCs enter the room, read: You burst/slip* through the large double doors into a large curved workshop. Against a bright light on one of the workbenches you are able to make out the shadow forms of two men, one slightly shorter and squater than the other. **They both look up as you enter the room.** The taller one presses a large red gem built into the work bench, producing a moderately high-pitched whine. Several machines come whirring out of small alcoves built into the walls, each with a small weapon mounted on it. Three of them are armed with crossbows and another three come swinging serrated blades. The two artificers pull repeating crossbows from racks underneath the workbench.

*use the word appropriate to the PCs' approach
**If the PCs elected to enter stealthily, read this instead: Absorbed in their work, the artificers do not notice your approach. When you are about 15 feet away, *name of clumsiest PC* suddenly trips over an unfinished machine. Looking around for the source of the disruption, the two men notice you. and continue with the whole battle preparations stuff.

When you are attacked, any hit point damage the blow deals is added to your delayed damage pool. At the end of your next turn you take damage equal to the total stored in your delayed damage pool which then resets to 0. A maximum of half your hit points damage may be delayed in this way before taking damage as normal.
