    Do I use to many house rules.

    No, I use a 7 page pdf that relies on 3 other pdfs as referenced documents as my houserules source. A lot of that stuff is culled from ideas kicked around here at EN world.

    Vancian magic and 4e

    Ya I meant extended rest. If they failed a check on a spell mid encounter they would be done with all spells till the extended rest. I don't know if I agree with a skill check, the whole point is magic should be taxing physically no? I mean I understand this is a stylistic preference probably...

    Vancian magic and 4e

    First off I allways liked the Vancian magic system as a limiting factor that pays off for having serious magical energies in the long term. I understand it's limitations as well however. That being said, I dislike the sameness of the powers system for all classes now. So I got to thinking, what...

    Building an Airship (for use at the game table)

    Cool Beans! You should be fine, yes it has some references to his other works but as a stand alone you'll be ok. I warn you now you may wind up becoming a huge fan though and reading all his stuff. Another possible idea source though far less involved is the Aeronaut Lee Scorsbey (sp) from...

    Building an Airship (for use at the game table)

    Good Idea! Hi Weem I was wondering if you have read any of Terry Brooks most especially the "Voyage of the Jerle Shannara" series. It centers on a quest that the heroes undertake that involves the use of an Airship. I am reading it now coincedentally. It's probably worth a look for sources of...

    Another take on the Necromancer class

    Excellent work here. I want to add my support. I am inserting it into my campaign at the request of one of my players and I will let you know how it tests out.

    I hope its not just me...

    Well, apart from being busier than a 1 legged man in a but kicking contest lately, I am nearly done in my tinkering. When it does come, it’s not going to be anything earth-shattering in terms of revelation since many of the ideas shared thus far are also held by me to one extent or another...

    Shaman zones?

    Great Idea on the coat hanger thing! I have actually been thinking about how to show zones on the battlemap on the fly

    I hope its not just me...

    Thanks for the welcome and suggestions. A few odd things are happening in my game. I don’t know what to make of it all now. It’s as if my players know what’s coming, I guess they do in fact, since I ask their opinions and mention any changes I have in mind or am working on in advance anyhow...

    Dailies "Fix" --> The Long Rest

    What issues does this fix if I might ask? From what I have seen all this does is make Dailies more available without an extended rest. Is that what the issue youre trying to address is?

    I hope its not just me...

    Sadrik, not trying to be a wise guy but are you saying I am not using enough paragraphs? If I am not sufficiently clear in that way I will attempt to fix that for sure. My question to you is, are 3 separate postings necessary to reply to 3 quoted items in a row? Again not trying to be funny but...

    I hope its not just me...

    My use of the wounding system is a compliment of course, I havent had occasion to use it yet but the PCs are getting into more and more combat now that the campaign is flowing and I will let you know on that Rel. The reason I am semi-focused on how to make 4e work for me so much at the moment...

    I hope its not just me...

    Hi Rel, I actually hoped you would chime in. I am using your wounding system in fact. That was one of the things that helped me cope with the idea of healing surges that 4e implemented. I am somewhat distressed to hear you say "go 3.5 young man" (not literally). So far from my limited...

    I hope its not just me...

    Ok well, as to the point of unnecessarily nerfing caster basic attacks I must admit it’s a good one I hadn’t thought of. Luckily for me those who pointed it out also came up with an easy fix. With regard to "blowing it all in one shot" - I think this is more likely an issue if restrictions...

    I hope its not just me...

    A bunch of excellent points have been made. I will attempt to address a few without going quote crazy here. First yes I am aware with the penchant for balance that 4e professes I would be unnecessarily handicapping casters if I tinker only with them. Therefore I am thinking more and more of a MP...
