NounAdjective names are crap, but the main difference between Shadowdark and Feywild as opposed to Underdark, Waterdeep or Greyhawk is their relative age. The old ones are crap, too, it's just we're used to them. Of course, it could be worse- they could've thrown together a random collection...

Cheers, that seems a pretty good fit!

Hmm, I had figured that a defender would probably be more straightforward, but the consensus seems to be that the warlock would be easier to use than the swordmage. Back to the drawing board, I suppose. Thanks guys!

Hey, how's it going? Short version: Would changing the swordmage to being a charisma-based class throw up any major problems? Long version: I'm planning on running an introductory game of 4e for some friends as a spot of after-dinner entertainment. I was planning on statting up a few...

I can't remember if it's been mentioned whether you can multiclass into a beastmaster, but if you can, I'm well up for this- Barbarian + Beastmaster= He-Man and Battlecat! :D

As far as I'm concerned, I'm happy with the 4e power level. Who is really to say what commoner's stats are- the stats don't exist in the game world, so whether Tim the adventurer can beat Bob the blacksmith in an arm wrestle is up to DM fiat. As pointed out already, the PC's seem to be...

Take a chill pill, dude, and breathe. So you don't like the nasty dragonborn. Are a few pictures really that much of a deal-breaker? How else would a humanoid dragon look? I'm not sure how else they could've gone with the look. I can't stand half-breeds, but I can live with them in the core...

I'm not entirely sure what you mean by 'save to disbelieve' but fair enough, you don't like the artwork. Different strokes, I suppose. I'm not mad keen on some of it either, but then again, as far as I'm concerned, it's no big deal- I can find my own character illustration or just make something...

But your campaign isn't forced into allowing wuxia dragonborn katana-wielding warlocks if you (the DM) don't want them to be there. Yes, they're in the PHB. So what? If you want sword and sorcery, drop all the non-martial classes and races other than human, and have adventures against snake...

Well, I picked it up as an end-of-module present for myself. It seems pretty good- thinking of running it for some friends as a spot of after-dinner entertainment sometime. I'd agree that it would be much better if the character sheets were already separate, perhaps on thin card, laminated or...

Thanks, might pick it up, then, and invite them round for dinner one night.:angel: They'll never know what hit'em!

I gather it contains enough to take the pre-gens to level 3; how does the adventure included compare to Keep on the Shadowfell? Which one, do you reckon, would be best for a bunch of n00bs? I'm thinking of trying this out with some of my non-gamer friends for an evening's entertainment on the cheap.

I'm planning to run a homebrew fantasy game online for a couple of my mates from home. First time properly DMing something, so I'm quite excited!

I'd be rather keen to join (thanks for the invite!)- I've just started playing in a RL game of this as my introduction to roleplaying. So what sort of character would fit in well with the group? I gather the game is based around a university/archaeological expedition to the Middle East. Maybe...

I'd be interested, if you don't mind taking on a relative novice. I'd like to play a priest, perhaps- a Jesuit or something who has been punished by his order for being controversial/outspoken and sent to minister to a parish in a deprived area of Buenos Aires. If that's no good, maybe a...
