so has anything official been released about when we can expect barbarians? what about monks, druids and bards? player created classes are all well and good but i generally find official stuff is more balanced.

Interesting. That's similar to the idea I had for a mage. An older bookish guy who dabbled in magic and kept his nose clean, but "adventure keeps finding him" so he hits the road. That sort of thing. I like the idea of playing older characters lately. I used to just go with the recommended...

I like to devote some thought to the characters I play. I don't necessarily spend a long time coming up with elaborate histories. But I like to have an idea of who I'm playing, what their motivations are, and why they live as an “adventurer”. I also like to try new things. I have the opportunity...

One of the guys I play with requested I actually run one of the ideas I told him about a while ago, a short arc with potential for a longer campaign taking place in mythic Greece. The way I want to run it is to create a set of "races", sets of stats for children of each of the various gods. He...

ah. ah, yeah. that makes much more sense. thanks.

okay, i'm pretty sure I have this worked out properly but I haven't run a 4e game yet and i'd like to make sure before i have an unpleasant surprise ending with a TPK my first time out. according to the encounter difficulty table in chapter 6 of the DMG on page 104, one encounter of level+3 per...

Twisted Fairy tales I had an idea for a campaign based on a series of twisted fairy tales. Basically take a fairy tale and switch something up, swap gender roles so brave princesses are saving handsome princes, evil orphans are terrorizing good hearted witches, that sort of thing. I started the...

thanks, i like some of your suggestions for "Put the Sword Back in the Stone" and your ideas for other adventures in the same vein. i'll have to do some more work on this when i have time.

i don't know. can you explain the logic of getting rid of studded leather and calling hide "light armor"? i don't like what they did with equipment at all. i have high hopes for the equipment book coming out in september.

or maybe when they introduce the monk they'll include other stick weapons into the "staff" category, like jo sticks, tonfa, maybe the boken (although that's really a wooden sword, right?).

I thought of this chain of adventures a while ago and I plan to use it if I ever get my Gihon campaign going. Oh, if you're Morrow, don't read this. Okay. Twisted fairy tales: -= Save the Innocent Witch from the Evil Children =-A pair of halfling assassins posing as human children enlist...

found this link in FAQ http://www.enworld.org/misc.php?do=bbcode it produces this error: Fatal error: Call to undefined function can_administer() in /http/misc.php on line 37

Hi, I'm new here and would like to learn how to mark up my posts but this link: http://www.enworld.org/misc.php?do=bbcode produces this error: Fatal error: Call to undefined function can_administer() in /http/misc.php on line 37 is there another resource i can use to read up on vB code? and...

see how the player feels about playing a vampire and if he's cool with it, suck him dry.

these are just questions to think about that might help you come up with some ideas. they aren't meant as advice or criticism of any of your ideas. cities are complex and almost require extensive trade to survive. how do cities cut off from the rest of the world survive? what if the other...
