Yeah, I'd appreciate to see how others had it figured. About the weight limit: Originally the figures in the table showed the maximum for light load. However, that meant that people could carry a lot more than under standard rules. If that seems too low, consider this: Optional Medium/Heavy...

I've been quite dissatisfied with the current system so I worked on a replacement to make keeping track of encumbrance easier and more fun. The thing that bothered me most was that after some time PCs would walk around equipped like mobile pawnshops of sorts. Sure, the DM can always call on...

The whole discussion whether wizards wants 3pp to support 4e is geared too much at the present d20 community, at least in my book. Let's just for a second assume that wotc has a different market in mind (as you know is often claimed with regard to 4e). Would they be interested in 3pp content or...

BAB does stack (general multiclass rule) and since there is nothing in the flurry description that overrules it, stacking applies normally. So, a Monk 1/Fighter 19 would have a BAB of +19 and a flurry attack of +17/+17.

That is exactly what I've been doing for quite some time. True. Perfectly true, opposed checks are way too risky. But I'd consider this use of taking 10 as being different from the PC option of taking 10, since it is done to reduce randomness and emphazise the difference in skill modifiers...

I don't see how an effective DC (actual DC - skill modifier) of 10 equates a likely success. It's a 55% success rate (and I strongly believe it'd be 50/50 if it weren't for simplicities sake...). Since you cannot take 10 when in a stressful situation (like combat), I'd say the option was only...

I've never liked the take 10 mechanic either, especially in cases where a failure has some meaningful drawback, like climbing... Player: "I take a look at the crevice I'm about to scale. How hard does this seem to me?" DM: "you should be able to climb to the top." Player: "Alright, I take 10."...

d'oh, could have figured out that myfelf, really. didn't max out my google-fu it seems... cheers, mate!

I'm curious whether there's a place on the web (or a book, even) that has the artwork of the core rulebooks without the text (like, for example, the paintings on the first page of each chapter). Can anyone help me out here?

While this assertion is indeed correct, it does not help finding the answer to the problem, as neiter A nor B implies that the caster may choose the target(s). I think one major problem lies in the way the spell descriptions are worded. Some descriptions (hypnotic pattern, for one) seem to...

It's B. The Area entry indicates who is affected by the spell. Now, what does affected mean? Answer: It determines who has to roll a saving throw. If the sleep spell affects 4 HD worth of creatures, it's the lowest HD creature + second to lowest HD creature +... until you can't fit anymore...

The setting is great indeed, I consider running my next campaign in it. One question concerning magic: with all that magecraft feat, spellcasting feat and level, how many points of spell energy does a character have? I've read the given sections over and over, but it's not spelled out clearly...

I remember skimming through some OC/3rd party rules a while ago: Classes had this defense bonus that was in a limited way working with armor, as armor had its max dex simply relabelled "max dodge" (combinining dex and class bonus). Now I'd like to review this for possible use in my campaign...

Hi all! I've been following this whole skill challenge debate pretty much from the beginning and given that the original 4e system isn't quite feasible, I set out to modify it. Now I'd like some help with the probabilities. Is there a straigt formula for this? (I've been grinding out the values...
