Yeah, but #500 has to be a look at what's been going on while Roy's been dead. :eek: On some level I dread it.

Heh, of course it is, and even the root of both words is similar ("servant" in case of knight, and "to serve" in case of samurai, I believe). I personally wouldn't have a problem if, for example, an Oriental campaign represented the samurai with a Knight class - I just think that many others...

I'm thinking of shuffling a few sorcerer/wizard spells to lower level (for example, cone of cold) for my E6 games. I noticed there's a cleric domain called Blackwater in the Stormwrack supplement that grants the cleric access to black tentacles at 3rd level. Now, I love the spell, and I wonder...

What seems to bug people with a name like knight is that it implies social status in addition to describing the combat role of the class. Now, I don't personally have a problem with that, and I actually use a homebrewed Noble class in my games to fill a role that seems close to what the Warlord...

Perhaps Warmage is the result when you burn Warmwood?

Barbarian - Powerrager Cleric - Powerpriest Paladin - Powerknight ...You, sir, win several internets. -Warfilm

Well. It's funny how it goes - all this talk about the Warlord has only managed to make the name more endearing to me. :) I do use a homebrewed class called the Noble for a similar type of role, but eh. Warlord's fine as it is!

Hi, Notmousse! Personal tastes are a curious thing, and one thing I like about this place is that the critique provided by different people can be wildly different but just as valid. :) I can certainly see where you're going with your tweaks. One thing I should stress is that I don't plan on...

But it's a pretty damn sweet idea nevertheless. I've always liked this early depiction of a modron, even though sticking human limbs onto a tetrahedron only manages to look silly. Making modrons (or whatever you want to call them) into lifeforms with shapes based on various regular polyhedra...

Good comments here. I agree that a simple +1 bonus to certain skills is a minor bonus at best. However, the rules-as-written half-elf skill bonuses are just that. I feel that rather than upping the bonuses to +2 it would better reflect the idea of a character with mixed heritage to add an...

Hi, Nellisir. Concerning Blood of Giants, I was planning on simply cutting the feat down to: "Whenever you are subject to a size modifier for an opposed check, you are treated as one size larger if doing so is advantageous to you". As for the other two feats, my reasoning behind the +1 bonuses...

If the latter two feats are underpowered it's probably because I didn't want to make them too good. Would you add anything to the two?

I've been under the impression that the term comes from gold coins.

Yeah, that's what I was thinking as well. It would be nice to have a feat that would represent the rare individual with giant heritage - trouble is, I can't really think of anything that wouldn't be a no-brainer for warrior types to take. Even if I drop the ability to use larger weapons than...

Warlord wins the round! For what it's worth, I do like Soldier better, and it is a nice enough class name in Star Wars Saga Edition. Nevertheless, it's pretty clear that the Soldier ain't gonna win this one. Next up: Warlord vs. Captain?

I seriously doubt the dryad at least is going to be anything close to a standard one in 4E. Seems like a wicked variant of some kind - perhaps the Black Woods are a particularly nasty place in Feywild. I don't really have any other comments about the minis since I have no experience on minis in...

Hi there! The poll about half-races at the 4E board made me think of a simple alternative to some of the most common half-races in 3E. I wrote up a few feats that characters can only take at 1st level. I'm sure others have done something similar before, but any comments are appreciated...

I think Mortal is a more probable choice than Living, but otherwise that's most likely what they're going for.

That picture gets me every time. Brilliant!

I still think they should simply call warlocks sorcerers. Warlock and warlord are so gosh darned similar as class names.
