I've written settings with no gods but faith based power, seemingly absent gods, meddling immortals, (in the used to be mortal sense,) with peak human limits while manifest, and traditional fantasy game gods with agendas and occasional meddling.This is all good to think about when world...

I have to agree with all the Yay sayers here. I cannot stand the 4th Edition Monster's Manual because there is not even enough fluff to know how to explain what a ranger knows about a creature's habits in game. If you don't have a 2nd or 3rd Edition MM, you have to pretend you always knew that a...

Since the OP mentioned rotating DMs, when does your turn come up? Seriously. If none of the other players/DMs will do anything about it, do it yourself. It sounds like the only think he does is basic attack, since alot of paladin stuff is only advantageous in close combat, and even if he did...

Has anybody fleshed out some of the new monsters in the minis card sets. There is a young silver dragon in Dungeons of Dread, and a Cockatrice in Against the Giants. I could probably use them as is for a one-off encounter, but the monsters in the MM seem to have a handful of extra notes I'd find...

revision 1 Lupin Canine humanoids with a flair for both tenacity and the dramatic RACIAL TRAITS Average Height: 5’10 to 6’6” Average Weight: 170 to 210 lb. Ability Scores: +2 Dexterity, +2 Constitution Size: Medium Speed: 6 squares Vision: Low-light Languages: Common Skill Bonuses...

Unfortunately, the Lupin concept is that they hate werewolves, and train specifically to kill them. They generally attack werewolves the instant they sense them. It makes sense, even in an edition where nobody else gets such a bonus that they keep that one. As for lack of an encounter power, I...

That will be removed, but Lupins are hinted strongly at having a shared history with primeval werewolves in the back story. Such as they are a similar race and only hate werewolves because of divergences made back in prehistory.

Here is the revision. Burst of Energy Racial Power You put on a burst of power and speed for a short time, acting with vitality belied by your normally languid state. Encounter Free action Personal Effect: You gain a +2 bonus to your Speed, a +1 to Hit and +2 to Acrobatics and Athletics...

Hrm, situational isn't great that's true. I may just remove it entirely. It's goes with the race's origins, but it doesn't need to show up in mechanics.

Okay. Well I want to simulate that the rakasta is acting with something akin to an adrenaline boost. I don't really favor a blanket +1 to damage, and I was kind of liking the fact you could use it to help overcome a physical obstacle (athletics, etc.), but just a +2 speed seems really...

I wanted to post these for feedback. The Primary source of inspiration comes from the Mystara Monstrous Compendium Appendix, with some looks at 3E sources and Red Steel after that. I am updating these races for my 4E campaign, and I wanted them to be fun but retain their core flavor (so I didn't...

yeah I was going to ask if someone might be able to reformat the PDF as a letter document? I don't have any desire to go buy A4 cardstock when I've got large stacks of letter sized cardstock lying around. It also looks like it wastes a lot of paper with the big white spaces.
