I guess you wild shape back to regular form.

For those campaigns where magic item stores don't exist and hence characters can't buy magic items, this allows players to customize their characters with the items they want.

How about: 1. Any hit kills a minion. 2. Any damage not from a hit bloodies a minion. 3. Any damage to a bloodied minion kills it. That way, autodamage takes two passes to kill a minion, but it's not useless or instant death. Area of effect spells will kill some, but not necessarily all...

If they remove the racial restriction entirely, then there will be human warlocks running around with 4 at-wills, twice as many as most other characters. That doesn't seem fair.

They also changed skill challenges to have a fixed 3 failures, regardless of challenge difficulty.

I originally posted a table in the other big thread that showed the likelihood of achieving 2K successes before K failures for various chances of success on a single role. The whole system was very skewed and produced poor results. However, if you make the simple change of requiring K...

The percent chance to get 2K successes before K failures with probability of success P is: \K 1 2 3 4 5 P \------------------------- .05 0.2 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 .10 1.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 .15 2.2 0.2 0.0 0.0 0.0 .20 4.0 0.7 0.1 0.0 0.0 .25 6.2 1.6 0.4 0.1 0.0...
