While I haven't read all of these posts I'd have to agree that a druid unable to shape shift at level one in 4e significantly hinders them. Unless of course you want to play the spell casting type. What 4e does is to make a character choose between focusing on making the most of his shape...

So, I have not read any of the other posts and I do not have time for much insight but a suggestion I can give! In my 4th Edition campaign I have worked out stats for some Cthulhu things and its the basis for one entire campaign i run. I treat them less as "gods" in the classical sense and...

I agree with Grey. I think that a feat of perhaps paragon tier would be good to grant the racial power. Instead of swapping out a useful power just make a high(er) level requirement.

was just wondering.....how are you designing these cards and the maps on em? got any useful mapper programs or are you just photoshopping the whole thing. other than that this is pretty great

I agree with Wik. Change your planning as a DM and embrace and have fun with it being one character. changing the rules becomes less necessary. Any way you do it though make sure its still fun as a one on one game!

So, while I play very little in the realms of solo adventures I have foudn that 4e is pretty flexible with regard to it. Using fewer and lower xp monsters to obtain a one-man budget is easy enough but the key is to create encounters that are set up with at least one way for your player to have...

Hey guys, been working out ideas both new and old. With slaads a big threat in my campaign I wanted an option for a character killed by a slaad. A race of slaad not quite as chaotic and dangerous as their cousins. I also have a session coming up involving a coastal village and who better to...

Ok for those who have liked the thread the updated info and then some is and will continue to be added to the following thread. Cya there! http://www.enworld.org/forum/4e-fan-creations-house-rules/250789-under-blue-moon-plethora-extra-stuff.html

Ok folks, after many hours and much work and certainly not nearly enough play tests ;) I have a new and improved supplement for all you DMs and PCs! No longer is it just my cthulhu creature creations but it is now an entire homebrew supplement. The latests version or this take to is indeed...

Excellent! Though I shall try to keep this thread updated until I can get the completed document out. At that point I will place it under a new thread, mostly since it will no longer include just creature creations.

Sorry about that Wraith. With an extended leave of D&D design absence my 4shared account got taken down. Last week I brought it back up and have a new edition of my homebrew rules in the works. I have fleshed out both a temporary and persistant wounding system (both of which are in need of...

OK so here's the deal: From the previous two posts and my own numbers I have devised 4 equations to determine threshhold. These are A=1/2 Fort + 3/Tier B= 1/3 HP C= 1/2 Fort + 5/tier D= 1/4 Level + 1/2 con/str + 3/tier Next I took a sample monster from artillery, brute, controller, soldier...

The idea is not a downward spiral of death I assure you, but it is to add some more realism. This is why I am having an issue getting the right numbers. I want "soft" hitting monsters to be less likely to cause damage over threshhold, lurkers/artillery to be more likely, and the in betweeners...

Ok, so I wish to incorporate the condition track from the Star Wars Saga Edition RPG into D&D 4e because it adds some short term detriment to big hits. The main problem I have been having is that the math in 4e is very very specific and I can't figure out a good way to calculate a damage...

sorry! Once again I shamelessly bump my own misbegotten thread, but for the last time. With the coming out of a monster creator on the D&D site I have gone through all of my creations thus far to tweak to more appropriate rules. Elites have been improved to elite status. Powers have been...
