I don't like ANY implication that chaos and evil are tied, or that law and good are tied. Chaotic Evil shouldn't exist if Chaotic Good doesn't. Robin Hood is a great example of a chaotic good hero, and any sort of evil Empire, or evil Secret Organization will have Lawful Evil elements...

You've got a point about the breath weapon. Perhaps have each racial feat replace the breath weapon with a power unique to that type of draconian, and also give the death throes powers with the same feat. I'd make the death throes encounter powers that can be triggered any time you take damage...

I REALLY don't feel like 4e will work well for a modern campaign. You could make it work with a LOT of homebrewing, true, but I feel like it would make more sense to use a gaming framework that works with the setting you want. My personal recommendation would be Savage Worlds.

The "Dragon Scales" feat seems like it should be deleted now that they don't get scale, although I suppose you could leave it for flavor and as an extra reward for people who choose to invest feats in grabbing scale.

I've always been a fan of alignments as a way to guide roleplaying, but not as a mechanical aspect of the game. I like that 4e removes alignment from game mechanics, and I I like the idea of a separate alignment for "neutral" in the sense of balance between forces, and "neutral" in the sense of...

Honestly, I think this would be better done by just creating dragonborn feats for each type of draconian's death throes, similar to how the various subspecies of elves were handled in Forgotten Realms.

Hey Kresnik, I'd be curious to hear how your Dragoon character is doing in your campaign. I'm considering allowing it as an option in case I kill any of my PCs, which may happen within the next few gaming sessions--they've been surprisingly resilient, but they've pulled off some shenanigans...

Love the flavor. I can't really judge the balance, as I have no in-play experience at Epic levels. The name strikes me as boring though. Perhaps "Heart of the World"? Don't love that either. Time to go peruse thesaurus.com

Just use the WOTC monster builder. Select the monster you want, click "edit a copy", and change his role to "minion". Level it up or down as needed using the drop-down menus. Done.

grr. sorry for the double post, the previous post didn't appear to have posted, and I had clicked a link while it was in the process of posting, so I typed it up again, thinking that it hadn't finished.

While I understand the urge to make the in-game economy "make sense", I feel like it requires a pretty huge overhaul. If you revise the price-points for items, you then need to revise the amount of gold handed out per level to scale with that, and even with revised scaling I can't imagine that...

I like the idea of having a "reverse mark", but I feel like that would be better handled by just being "-2 to hit the Goblin Chief until the end of his next turn" rather than requiring a full round of not whacking him. That's unfun for the players if they don't have anything else to whack. I'd...

Very good points regarding leap. In that light, I think you made the right decision after all, and the Skysoul class feature provides an option for those who just can't wait to get into combat. I think the change in class features is definitely a step in the right direction. Both features...

I definitely agree that the miss penalty should be changed to a critical fail penalty. Missing happens far too often, and there's really no way you can balance the negative effects. As far as the elemental weapon--I think the whole point is supposed to be that the weapon is really just flavor...
