Whatever you select, try and make it upbeat. Remember, you're celebrating the PCs victory over some big bad - make 'em feel like people really appreciate it! As such, I'd save the evil council for another day. Give the players this chance to just shine - that will make it that much more...

If it wouldn't be too much trouble, could we talk a bit about class roles and monster roles? I think, particularly for new players, it'd help them get a better grasp of the game to know where their character will shine and where they will struggle.

The simplest answer would have to be I wanted to make a truly frightening undead solo monster, and those two templates seem to blend together to create a truly terrifying one. Upon looking at the Lich template, I can't really find anything that states it must use its powers on abilities with the...

That's part of the problem, I'm not sure if it'll make the fight too difficult or not. I have a death knight with the lich template. It could dramatically increase the refresh rate on Unholy Flames, which would make a death knight and undead minions a very scary fight.

The Lich template grants the power "spellmaster." It says specifically that the lich "regains the use of an expended encounter power." Does this only apply to powers with the encounter keyword, or can it auto-recharge a recharging power?

I'm pretty sure the move never actually happens in the first place, because there are no legal squares to complete the move. By extension, if your character is surrounded by one hundred foot high walls on all sides, you cannot say "I walk forward 6 squares - it's impossible to end my move there...

To begin with, it would seem that what Genowhirl is initially beginning with is a fallacy of converse accident. Just because the exception seems to exist does not make it true. While there is no rule to dictate that you cannot name yourself your own enemy, it is obviously not the intention of...

Wow! This is some really excellent food for thought, particularly those caveats that Whimsical suggested. One important note that I'd like to throw in is to roll with the players. In my last session of a higher level game (20th level at this point) the group finally found the woman they'd been...

So I decided to try and modify the Rancid Spurt power as well, aiming for both clarity and an appropriate power level. Dazed and Weakened is a frankly awful combo for players (great for DMs though!) and so I decided to tweak it a little bit. I would also give the flumph Immune: Poison, so that...

I wish you'd started this in a separate thread rather than post it in this one, but what the heck. At the bottom of a new post or a reply, you'll see there's a button entitled manage attachments. Just click on that and it'll handle uploading things to ENWorld.

Personally, I'm leery of what each power source will truly be like until we've seen stuff from Wizards. The Barbarian pre-release seems to indicate a lot of spiritual magic mixed into the sort of furious attacking aspects of the Barbarian, which is very different than what I had in mind. Still...

This sounds really interesting. There is a sorta technological bend to this character archetype in the Artificer, but I think a more naturalist approach would be good, particularly something martial power sourced. I'd also suggest taking a look at the alchemical items section from the...

Currently I am writing the last term paper I need to for my current grad. school trimester. Once that is finished, I intend to finish up the Paragon level and Paragon Paths for the Necromancer. After getting that out of the way, I have intentions of statting up the Monk as a Martial Controller...

Thank you CrimsonHawk. I must admit, I did borrow heavily from the Complete Guide to Necromancer's for the Paragon Paths. However, that also only represents three of the current ideas, I still need to figure out a fourth and I will endeavor to make that one completely original.

The wonderful part about fan done material is that you can draw from many sources, and that one is a particular favorite of mine. I'm glad someone noticed how heavily I was borrowing from it! I started playing AD&D with second edition, and the Complete Guide to Necromancers was one of the first...

Now this is actually part of my problem with the treasure system. I'm running a game for 6, which means I drop 5 magic items per level. I don't want anyone falling too far behind, so most of the slots I need to use for the weapon/armour/neck combo. With 18 slots that need to be filled between...

I'm sorry for the delay CrimsonHawk! Trust me, I wanna work on the Necromancer but for reasons unknown my professors keep asking me for term papers. In addition some small crises have arisen in my personal life, which have prevented me from accomplishing anything productive, both D&D and...

I must say that I don't think that really counts as detailing them. However if you'll look at the description provided for the arcane power source on that page, which goes into where the power comes from, it is pretty much exactly what I had in mind for the class. It's a different flavor of...

It's been stated that enemies have a number of healing surges which scale with their tier, you can find that on page 7 of the Monster Manual. They have one surge per tier, but most monsters have no way to spend their healing surges. I'll admit that will be of limited detriment to most monsters...

If you and your DM is comfortable using some fan made material, you could use one of the numerous necromancer classes on this very site. You've got many flavors of necromancer to choose from, though I must admit I'm a bit biased toward this particular one as my favorite...
