How is this even possible! Humans tied for worst and no votes for namby-pamby elves or silly drowning dwarves. You can't swim in platemail you stupid dwarf. Also get rid of those awful tieflings. Tiefling Art=yuck. I think I've seen one decent piece of tiefling art in 4e.

There's been a couple times where I've wanted to see exactly how far I could push my players, as far as number of encounters goes. The last time I tried we did four encounters of equal level and then one encounter of one level higher before a rest and by then the Paladin was out of surges (he...

I was highly disappointed when this article disappeared from the calendar, but now I see it was well worth the wait. A nice combination of build and RP advice too. I wasn't too hot on the powers provided, but I play my storm sorcerer a little bit differently. Overall, I think this is one of the...

People tend to forget that Gargantuan is simply a 4x4 square suggestion. I can't remember what page it was on, but I believe the gargantuan entry said 4x4+. Elder Red Dragon or Orcus or whatever 4x4 is ok. But dude with planetoids orbiting him, I'll use 4x4+ thank you very much. I personally...

I've got a sorcerer in low paragon and I find that my two sets of dice, with extra d6s, is plenty. That very well may change as I get more and more higher level powers, but right now the most I roll is 3d8+1d6. Rerolling that extra d8 is not a problem, only once an encounter if I hit, and with...

I'm playing a druid/shaman hybrid right now, with a stalker spirit. I'm level 7 already, and there already seems to be enough overlap in what the powers do that choosing a role isn't really an issue. I'm really filling both roles though since there are no other leaders/controllers in the group...

Update: Added new items to the Treasure file from the 2nd Player's Handbook. Enjoy.

I'm playing an evil cleric as my next character, starting tomorrow, and have been wondering about this issue myself. The last 3.5 campaign we had the cleric was there only to heal. In 4e the cleric is still quite hard focused on healing, good or evil. As a cleric that cannot spontaneously cast...

Ok Nytmare, I see what you're saying here. Perhaps something more akin to they get the Channel Divinity power of their choice, and are considered multiclassable. Then maybe I build them a full Epic Destiny if they're enjoying the idea. This ability should come into play after PH2 hits, so...

I think we're all forgetting one thing piracy of the 3 core books actually did for 4e, that is make more people buy into the game. Those leaked pdfs made a lot of skeptics who probably weren't going to buy the books at all look through them and make a good, informed decision. I will, in fact...

A couple of things came to me after making this PDF and reading the comments. Firstly, I was comparing this power to the abilities of the various paragon paths, so in that sense I think it's balanced. Secondly I think the d10 is a fair dice since the PC will not gain the benefit of any implement...

Ok, maybe that isn't the best title I could have chosen, but it fits well with what I'm going for here. Here's the story: At the end of the heroic tier of my campaign, there is a god who will ask that one of the PCs sacrifice themselves for the greater good basically. I've already written a...

Thanks for the idea Zimri. I think I'm ready to start writing the final encounters of the tier now. I think I will test my PCs to see exactly how heroic and selfless they truly are, but give them a nice surprise like you suggested, if not I'll have something else happen. It'll be a lot of work I...

Akaiku, the reason I originally came up with this idea was because I know I'd have pretty fond memories of a PC I made that gave up his life in this sort of manner, but maybe that's just the actor in me. It just seems so storybook to me, and kinda lame if I have some random NPC they just met...

I'll give a few more details to see if it's a little more palatable to do it Heroic. The PCs have been doing various things to fend off an army of giants from a metropolis. One thing they do is recover this artifact, which will be used to summon the avatar of a god to destroy the army of giants...

I'm currently writing the final chapter of the Heroic Tier of my campaign, which should hopefully eventually go on to the end of Epic (we're playing 4e if you hadn't noticed). Anyway I was considering having an artifact that is in the player's possession demand one of the PCs sacrifice their...

I think I will start with your idea Ydars, but maybe still develop that program. I need to keep my coding skills up after all. Earning more fame and fan mail beyond my Random Treasure Generator wouldn't be too bad either. Would you mind posting a screenshot of the excel sheet, just so I could...

I don't know if anyone else has this problem, but I'm having trouble keeping track of dates and how much time my PCs take during adventures. I think it would be very useful to have something where I can quickly jog down notes about what happened each day of an adventure. I'd also like to be able...

Excellent idea Rechan. I think Shaman might be the class that is most apt to complete reflavouring. "Look at me, I'm Jennifer Love Hewitt and I whisper to ghosts." Is only the tip of the iceberg. Also, I want Slimer as my spirit.

I've just updated the Treasure.zip file on my main page. It now contains items from the Manual of the Planes. Which I'm kinda annoyed with because it's both a player and DM book, but that's beside the point. Guyanthalas: I haven't been checking the thread lately, so I didn't see your post. I'll...
