Hi Wulf, Just glanced through the list, impressed by your idea of a unified spell progression. Just wanted to check if you are looking into saving throws, as I was brainstorming about a unified saving throw progression as well. Problem with saving throws is that either they tend to become...

Just make it 1d8 damage. I'm happy with 1d8+INT damage for scorching burst. Make the other Wizard at-wills more controlly, though. Ray of Frost could use 'pierce' for example (i.e. affect multiple targets in its line of effect)

As long as he doesn't try to do something like taking eladrin feats for his half-elf, it should be fine.

Grab the warlord's Inspiring Word, now you have 3 heals per encounter.

They'll need healing potions, and hopefully at least 1 or 2 of them takes a MC in cleric/warlord.

I think STR-based pallys are fine. Their selection within the class is limited, but they have MANY options once you consider multi-class. A STR paladin can into Cleric, Fighter or Warlord powers far more easily than a CHA-based one. CHA-based pallies for the most part have only their own class...

If the cleric manages to go before the monsters, I would see Shield of Faith as being a lot more useful. If the monsters go first though, CLW might be better. All in all, imo, Shield is good in terms of power, CLW is good in terms of versatility. If there's already a character that is able to...

This was a April Fool's Day thingy right? :uhoh:

I play with descent. It's a 1-1-1 system 'RPG-lite', with heavy emphasis on tactical combat. http://boardgamegeek.com/game/22361 Basically characters there have a base movement speed of 3-5, each turn you can choose to do 2 attacks, attack and move, or move twice your speed. You can expend a...

Although I'm somewhat on the anti-1-1-1 camp, just to let ya guys know, well ya I accept 1-1-1 is in 4th Ed, and if the DM dictates that we follow the rule to the letter, I won't fuss. I'm a respector of rule zero. Just watch me grossly abuse the ability to zigzag though. :D I've been playing...

Well it's for a compromise houseruling, for those who are not happy with both 1-1-1 and 1-2-1. I'm proposing 1.5-1.5-1.5

This is with regards to the diagonal movement problem. 1. I'm proposing that instead of doing 1-2-1 which people tend to lose track of, how about making diagonals 1.5 movment instead. 2. PCs with 0.5 or 1 move left can take the last step as a diagonal. The math: It should actually be 1.41, so...

I distinctly remembered seeing somewhere that states that PHB II will have a heavy focus on primal and psionic power sources?

hmmm. To me Ptolus and Pathfinder are close, with PHB being a distant third. I voted Ptolus for having the best format and bag for buck.

I tend to use 'cohorts' to shore up the PC numbers. (In essence giving each player a free leadership feat) In combat the PCs pretty much dictate what the cohorts do, except where it is obviously out of character / suicidal. For RP purposes they will tend to fade into the background and let...
