    Pact Blade Double Sword . . .

    . . . and other two-handed weapons with weapon-restricted properties. Are these legal? Pact blade requires a light blade, and a double sword is 'half' light blade. So it would seem like the half that gets the properties should be the light blade end, but the double weapon rules say the 'main'...

    D&D 4E 4e Slaughtergarde

    Goodman Games's Dragora's Dungeon has a big ape theme with a sentient ape race, but it's for first-level characters. You could upgrade that to your PCs' level. The November issue of Dungeon (issue 160) has a Scales of War adventure path adventure called Den of the Destroyer that includes gnolls...

    Adventurer's Vault 2 Playtest

    I guess a better way to design the tattoos is to based the effects off of the number of surges you've spent or lost that day. (Is there a word that means spent/lost?) The good news is the transport power is only usable once per day. As long as the party has more than one encounter per day...

    Adventurer's Vault 2 Playtest

    So, the AV2 playtest is up for insiders. Included are 12 magical tattoos and 3 'orbs of sequestered conflict'. Magic tattoos can only be removed with disenchant magic item, and most of them become more powerful the more healing surges you've spent that day. The orbs of sequestered conflict all...

    Clawed Swordmage

    I apologize if my previous post sounded accusatory or offensive; I just wasn't sure if your judgment was based on the item as seen in the magazine or as I had described it. I apologize for not including all the relevant information in my initial post. So does no one else think a feral swordmage...

    Clawed Swordmage

    Did you read the item or just base it off of what I was saying above? It actually says stuff about including the enhancement bonus, but I wanted to avoid including the item property verbatim. You might be right still, though; I can't figure out if it's just a claw attack, or if 'claw attack'...

    Clawed Swordmage

    I was just reading through the issue 369 Bazaar of the Bizarre and came across the Feral Armor that grants the wearer a +3 1d8 light blade claw attack. Could a swordmage use this as his implement and/or weapon, or is it strictly for melee basic attacks only? The description says 'This attack...

    Compiled info on upcoming classes & races

    The bladeling has racial stats in MoP. Not sure if it's a PHB- or MM-style writeup, nor what the legality will be for LFR. Source: Manual of the Planes: Arriving Tomorrow!!! - Page 4 - RPGnet Forums ~ edit: The MoP table of contents previewed today shows 'Bladeling Characters' on page 117.

    Ghostwise - RPing and Rulewise

    I don't really have any answers to that, but I do have further questions for anyone who is feeling like answering :) What about passive perception? In the clinking purse example above, both characters would be constantly making passive perception checks to notice such things . . . do passive...

    Anyone used the Bloodghost Syndicate?

    I used them a little bit. They PCs were looking for some kind of crime syndicate to buy information or services from in order to sneak into the castle to discover which members of the king's counsel were really Yuan-Ti. A Yuan-Ti assassin named Sarthias with whom they'd had previous run-ins...

    Boots of Spider Climbing

    I have to agree with the OP that these just really don't feel like Boots of Spider Climbing. They only actually grant you the ability to stick to the wall better once per day, so maybe a better name for this item would be 'Boots of Swift Climbing.' Then the Boots of Spider Climbing name would be...

    Halfling Staff Wizard . . . impossible?

    Thanks for all the replies. I, too, hope for a small staff some time soon, especially since the spear is so close. As an improvised weapon, a staff would do 1d4 damage and have no proficiency bonus. ~

    Halfling Staff Wizard . . . impossible?

    So I just went to make a new character. Actually not a halfling staff wizard, but a goblin witch doctor. Either way, though, I went to find a staff for my small character to use and there isn't one :( I could use a spear which is essentially the same, except that it's a spear and not a staff. ~

    Martial Power: Beast Mastery

    I totally agree, but it seems like the beast gets very few options to actually do anything. Like I said, it all seems balanced, but a little stagnant on the battlefield when the beast doesn't do anything until you use an encounter power (and maybe not even then). ~

    Martial Power: Beast Mastery

    So has anyone tried a beast mastery ranger out yet? I've just read through it, and it looks like on a given round either the beast or the ranger will just be standing there to grant a flanking bonus. It all seems balanced just fine, but kind of boring unless you're using one of the few...

    Just as an answer to the initial post of where to find more templates: There are several in the new Draconomicon. ~
