I have another option, its easy and gives the exactly the same damage as the old mechanic: - When the player rolls 1 or 2, add 6 to the damage total. The formula works for every brutal weapon: - When the player rolls (brutal value) add 1/2 * [W] to the damage total. Mathwise damage is...

The idea is Ok, but i think your solution is to depends to much on constitution. Classes that already need Con for combat bonuses will be far more powerful in your game then the rest. This is a bit unfair for the rest of the players. I would do something like: Extended rest: You regain all...

I read all your posts and decided that a point buy system is the way to go for me. If I add a floating +2 stat bonus to every race, there will be more options. However, certain class/race combinations will still be stronger. A lot of classes benefit from 3 stats and then I’m just shifting the...

What i don't understand is that people need 'official rulings' from a wotc guy before accepting these things. People in my campaign got to choose any race in the players handbook, because they were designed an balanced for it. If they wanted anything else, homebrew or any other source, they had...

You might be right there, i havent taken balance into much consideration. I just wanted the wizard to be able to do fun stuff and make him feel more like a controller. To be honest, none of my players have touched the wizard, so i wanted to make it a little more appealing. As you said, the...

I made the following house rule for wizards, to give them more tactical options Spell-Weaving Through intense study of magic, the wizard has learned to imbue his spells with additional effects. The Wizard may spend a minor action to add one of the spell-weaving effects to his next attack...

I was thinking about a power that makes difficult terrain, but it will substract to much from the existing spells that will give that effect. Instead i made a feat to lengthen the duration of any existening spell effect. Heroic Feat: Lingering Arcana Prerequisites: Wizard, Spell-weaving...

I find that the wizard needs an option to increase the controller aspect of the class. All the controller powers are defined in its powers, but there are no inherent bonusses in the class like strikers and leader's have. It's single target damage also seems to be rather poor, exept when a daily...

With the new rules for magic items, players get new weapons on a steady interval, and toss out the old ones at the same pace. This assumes that loads of magic items are waiting in dungeons to be found. You also have a crazy amount of inflation with the increasing gold cost of the magic items...

Ok, i've updated the language as you suggested. It's a lot easier to understand now, thanks for the help.

I do agree that this is the most powerfull feat out there, but it only works for non-optimized characters and it works great with multiclassing. I should maybe put a limit in place to one ability score. The way you're describing it doesn't work, as already pointed out. What you can do, is...

Do keep in mind that this bonus is only limited, so it wont allow someone to dump a stat completely. They will still need a reasonable score in the stat they want to use. Also it doestn grant a damage bonus, only a hit bonus.

Aah, you're absolutely right. I'll read more carefully next time. I would also stress the danger of mining and transporting this residuum. Maybe it attracts the attention of Dragon's or burrowing monster's. And if it's of such great worth, there will offcourse be organized raids on the Skyship's.

If it will be anything like Dune, there will be a lot of political intrigue and espionage going on. Plans within plans within plans :P Put in some active feuds between families. Ooh, and offcourse some factions need hidden alterior motives, such as the church having a breeding program to make...

Overall I think 4e is fantasticly designed, with nice class and power descriptions. However, as I started looking in detail at the rules, something really started to disturb me. I'll take some time to explain it, so stay with me. Basicly, the fighter, rogue, warlord and wizard have a great...
