After looking at combat mechanics for 4E, I had an epiphany for rewriting Dodge in 3.5e: This way, it goes from being a semi-passive "oh crap, who did I assign my Dodge feat to?" to being... well, more dodge-y.

Interesting... it looks like Monday's 4th Edition preview will cover skill challenges. (Bottom of http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/4ex/20080502a)

Kathra was groomed from an early age as a shieldmaiden, a hereditary (and valued) calling in her family. When she picks up her shield and the warhammer her father's sister (another shieldmaiden) gave her on the day she swore the oaths of fealty, she is all business. She takes her duty as a...

Got room for one more? If so, I'll take Kathra the fighter (so we have each role covered). I'll work on RP hooks this afternoon if I get the time.

I think you missed the "Core" part of "any Core supplement". They're not planning to do a long line of setting-specific sourcebooks to generate or advance plotlines (outside of adventures, of course). So the Martial Power sourcebook and Draconomicon will be relevant to because they won't...

There are couple of revised stat cards for Night Below with Primal and Psionic as keywords (Heirophant of the Seventh Wind, Wulfgar, Dracotaur Rager, and Gnoll Claw Fighter with the Primal keyword and Kalashtar Bodyguard and Cerebrilith with the Psionic keyword) so I think those have been a done...

According to this page, you will not have to be a DDI subscriber, but you will have to pay a "nominal fee" to get the PDF/electronic media format.

We do have the whole Justiciar paragon path. The excerpt of paragon paths on the WotC says a paragon path consists of: * 11th: Paragon path feature * 11th: Paragon path action point feature * 11th: Paragon path encounter power * 12th: Paragon path utility power * 16th: Paragon path feature *...

In the excerpt about customizing monsters, raising or lowering a monster by a level is apparently as simple as raising or lowering its attack bonus, defenses, and AC by one, and adding or subtracting one "hit die" worth of HP based on its role. (The article notes that you shouldn't do more than...

There was a 4E preview article about feats that had a feat called First Reaction, that let you use an action point to act during the surprise round. http://wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/drdd/20071126&authentic=true&pf=true

Here's the one trap description that I've seen posted from DDXP. ----- Crushing Rock; Level 2 Blaster Trap XP 125 A giant boulder follows the route indicated on the map. Perception: No check necessary to notice the crushing rock. Trigger: Initiative +5 The trap rolls initiative when combat...

Wow. Godspeed, Gary. And thanks for all of the fun you helped create.

In my files, I'm using "(m)" and "(r)" to simulate the circles around the basic melee and ranged attacks, and using "M" and "R" for the melee and ranged attack options; IMO they're easier to read at a distance.

...except when you take an extended rest, your action points reset to 1, per the "What You Need To Know" sheet.

I appreciate all of the work you and others have done in compiling monster stats. However, there's one somewhat signifcant issue with your Word doc; all of the attack options are capitalized, so it's not possible to tell the difference between a melee basic attack and a melee attack option...

If it's anything like some of the 3.5 house rules I've seen, the kobold behind the bush would roll a Stealth check with the PCs' Passive Perception value (which I assume is your normal "take 10/walking about" level of awareness) as the target to beat. If the kobold wins, you don't see him and...

I just spent far too much time today getting caught up on the DSGWG stories. The more John Rogers writing I can get, the happier I am. Consider this a *BUMP* if you will.
