    PbP friendly systems.

    PbP with 4e We've been doing a play-by-blog with 4e for about a month now (minus Christmas break), and so far it's working extremely well. We use the following house-rules to address some of your concerns: Initiative: first come, first served. Heroes first, then bad-guys, unless there is a...

    D&D 4E Obligatory dump stats in 4e: the irrelevance of Intelligence

    I would go the opposite way--make all the Intelligence skills Wisdom, and make Insight and Perception INT-based. Intelligence becomes how well you learn, and Wisdom becomes what you know. Intelligence is no longer a dump stat because of the importance of Perception, and that perception explains...

    Discussing fighters (forked from martial power)

    I think the answer lies in using a fighter's melee opponents as ranged attacks. Peace, C-Stone

    Redefining INT and WIS

    I think that's a good fix for solving the relevance-of-INT-for-classes-that-don't-need-it-otherwise problem. What would the (fluff) justification be? If Wisdom (by RAW) added to your initiative, because your character is more perceptive, that would make sense, but Intelligence? I guess if we're...

    Redefining INT and WIS

    Inspired by this thread, new definitions for intelligence and wisdom. Intelligence is a measure of perception, learning ability, creativity and imagination. A character with a high intelligence score is quick-witted, clever, inventive and cunning. A character with a low intelligence score...

    Blinded

    What happens if everyone is blind? Here's the situation in my game. Am I running this correctly? Combatants are in a cellar lit by a single candle, and the candle is blown out. No one can see in complete darkness. What conditions apply? How do you determine where to swing? Does being blind...

    DMs: Managing your (4e) combats

    Two quick thoughts Initiative: In my games, unless there's a surprise round, the players all go, starting with the player to my left, and continuing around the table until it's my turn, and all the NPCs take their actions. Yeah, it makes Improved Initiative a waste of a feat, but it makes...

    Dwarf Mountains: Alps or Rockies?

    Himalayas And Dwarves as Tibetan/Nepalese. Only because I haven't mined those cultures for role-playing purposes yet. Peace, C-Stone

    Sacrificial Bunnies (Warlock curse question)

    A Possibly Pertinent Question Okay, I understand why Good or Lawful Good warlocks maybe shouldn't be able to kill captives to activate an ability, but why can't evil dastardly warlocks sacrifice a captive to fuel their arcane powers? Could the credible threat posed by the captive takes the...

    KotS_Zombies question for other DMs_Possible Spolier

    Graboids! Because maintaining the brab is only a minor action, it makes sense that the grabbing zombie can still try to drag the character around (as a move action) and punch the poor sod (as a standard action). And then all the other zombies get to pile on too of course. C-Stone

    Tiefling Warlord for KotS + Extra Skill Challenge

    "Lead" the Attack Is it just me, or does the Lead the Attack daily lend itself to leading from the rear? Seems you're better off using it after everyone else in the party has already gone. C-Stone

    Inspire Courage + Greatness + Heriocs

    Round 1: Inspire Courage Round 2: Inspire Competence Do we have a problem with that too? If the bard doesn't have to be playing his instrument for the effects to linger for another five rounds, why can't he strike up a new tune? Peace, C-Stone
