    d20 Karma Kard bonuses

    I really like this idea, especially the part about using a lot of low numbers on the sheet to compensate for low rolls. Unfortunately, we're using a slightly altered action point thing already, and my players have trouble keeping track of that, so I think your system is a bit too complicated...

    d20 Karma Kard bonuses

    d20 Karma Kards: d20 Karma Kards - aethereal FORGE | EN World PDF Store Basically they are bingo sheets with numbers 1-20 randomly assigned. Whenever you roll that number, you can mark off one spot on your sheet with that number. When you get 'bingo', you get some reward. My girlfriend likes...

    Singing Bard

    I don't think a graft is necessary. Monks can enchant their fists with magic properties, so I don't see a reason a bard could enchant him/herself with a magical voice. I probably wouldn't start the trend with a wailing voice, though. "When you sing, your voice sounds discordant and terrible,"...

    [Riddle] Answer: the Mountain

    Thanks for all the riddles, guys :) And thanks, Zerakon for the inspiration to do more than just a riddle and to mix up the phrases. I ended up making my own riddle by stealing lines from all of yours :) Actually I have two riddles; the first has the answer of 'the mountain' and the second...

    [Riddle] Answer: the Mountain

    But what's the question? I have a cult with several mini-boss type leaders. Each one is entrusted with a short phrase. Together, the phrases comprise a riddle; the answer is 'the mountain'. (Or 'A mountain'.) 'The mountain' is where the cult's base is, but none of the mini-bosses knows this...

    What is "core"?

    You could always go with the Living Forgotten Realms list of legal sources. It's basically everything (including Dungeon & Dragon magazines!) except certain preview/playtest content. It makes me sad that so many people disregard the magazines for perceived balance issues. ~

    What do you consider "everything is core" to mean in your game?

    I chose the first option, but your poll doesn't include DDI. I would add the DDI content as stuff that is core and should be expected to be permissible in all games. I know [some] DMs like to be picky, so I don't begrudge a DM who says "only X books are allowed, and anything else needs my...

    Adventure Module Pricing and Patronage Projects

    And what if you really like the look of one of the patronage adventures and think it looks cool, or you heard a good review of one from a while back? If people just wanted to pay more for the conversation about design and the ability to input feedback throughout the process, then the patronage...

    Adventure Module Pricing and Patronage Projects

    For a while I preferred to make my own adventures, but then I figured I'd try out published stuff. As a DDI subscriber, I get three adventures a month for $5 (plus tons of other stuff). I also bought Goodman Games's The Forgotten Portal for like $10-$12 (I don't remember). So . . . what's the...

    How Would You Do 1 Epic character against 6 players?

    Okay this is kind of crazy: Build the monsters as PCs. Each player makes a bugbear (for example). One makes a caster, one a fighter, etc. for a balanced PC party or a balanced monster encounter. Capture the 'feel' of the 21st level PC as a solo monster. The player should have built the...

    Tooltips for your D&D Compendium links

    I was able to scroll through the popups with my arrow keys. I don't know if this would work on all browsers. ~

    Tooltips for your D&D Compendium links

    That's pretty awesome. Now I wish I had a website that would be good to use it on :) That would be cool if the code could somehow check to see if the user was logged in to DDI, and only display the popups if they were. ~

    varient Action Point uses?

    We use that rule at my game as well. A couple sessions ago they encountered a corpse of a girl who was sacrificed. Part of the sacrificial ritual meant her heart had been cut out. They decided to keep her, in case they wanted to raise her. (In restitution for failing to save her.) I...

    Game broke down over Pinning Strike

    Just for clarification, I want to say that I never said whether or not the power is broken or needs a 'fix' or whatever. In fact, I never even looked up the power to make a personal judgment. I was just saying that the way players' powers work by RAW shouldn't be changed mid-combat. If you feel...
