    [Those who like 4ed] What has been lost?

    i miss class variation. The only real difference between classes is "do you damage from a distance or up close".

    [Those who like 4ed] What has been lost?

    (1) This is a failure to put RP and development into the session. It's not the game's job to do that. It's a fantasy combat sim. Do less combat. Have the GM write scenes like a screen writer does. Set the scene, establish a conflict or choice to be made and go at it. Not a single dice...

    Beyond Pass/Fail, and Beyond

    Let's come up with some ways to generate greater verisimilitude in skill checks. D&D usually focuses on Pass/Fail, which for me, doesn't give enough information. i want to know how well or poorly i did. i'm a huge fan of the Storyteller system (OWoD), so that's the source of my inspiration...

    New Background's?

    The plural of background is backgrounds, background's would be possessive.

    Minor Change: Magic Missile

    Check out Olde School Magic Missile It always HITS, but it doesn't always do damage, so it's not a minion wipe. Instead of it trying to hit the target, it hits (always), it attacks the target's Fort. If the target can shrug off the pain, it deals no damage.

    [NFSW] Exotic Terrains - Heroic Tier

    What if the chaos field causes d20s to be replaced with d2s (coins). Heads you rolled a 20, tails you rolled a 1. Unless you have house rules for nasty fumbles, this just means there's a whole lot of hittin' crittin' goin' on. Wizards could hit as often as fighters with their staves and...

    D&D 4E Burning Wheel-style Artha and Instincts/Beliefs in 4E?

    True, flat +s might be boring if that's all you get. Maybe there could be a recharge exchange rate... one point for an Encounter, two for a daily. Gotta be careful with the dailies... those are the big guns. This deserves play testing. As for leveling, if i were running a game, i'd use my...

    D&D 4E Burning Wheel-style Artha and Instincts/Beliefs in 4E?

    This is a fantastic idea.... i say that mostly because i was planning on doing this. i love BITS from BW, but didn't care much for the rest of the game. Porting them to 4E is the best of both worlds to me. Yeah, the numbers/specifics need tweaking. A +4 bonus would be more modest and be...

    [NFSW] Exotic Terrains - Heroic Tier

    Awesome i like these ideas! Nice! (this is a ripoff of an idea from the WotC fora) Zombie Pit - The PCs must cross grates covering pits full of zombies. The zombies can reach through the bars to grab and claw at ankles. They can also pull appendages through the grate. You could make it...

    Clerics' Channeling, not casting(long post, sorry)

    Are you updating the OP as you go? If not, it would help me see to see the sum of the theories in one place. Glad i can help. It's nice to see that there is at least one other here who doesn't mind barbecuing sacred cows. i think you'll get a lot of resistance on the Charisma thing. Setting...
