Starfox- Considering I'm not talking out of experience here (and I am assuming you are) I'm gonna say that I think overall this is a pretty good concept worth further inquiry. Your fix will tend to make monsters more deadly- but with glass jaws...which I can only image *would* tend to make...

Pretty good, but how long is the grab sustained? It seems a little overpowered for a 1st level, at will, minor action to immobilize an opponent... but that's just my impression. Excelsior! Wizard Attack 9 With an explosive torrent of force you propel your foe ever upward! Daily✦ Arcane...

If it is, in fact, the case that the issue is less about monsters doing damage and more that they always hit, then I agree that this is a spot on solution. Lowering level and adding more mosnters to maintain the overall level of the encounter *would* not only lower the monster's chance to hit...

Not necessarily. According to DMG pg. 174, if you're only adjusting monster levels up or down by 5 or fewer levels you're only going to end up changing the damage by 2 points at most if you are using Monsters as written from the MM and changing their level using the DMG rules. Likewise, if...

Apples & Oranges If you're worried about the connection between Cling and Close Quarters, I think the flavor text says it all. "You take cover beneath a much larger creature, making it harder for the creature to hit you." They're not even the same. Mechanically they might grant similar...

Not to rain on anyone's parade but isn't the same effect achieved if you just use more lower level monsters and add a flat bonus to their stat block? I mean, at level 10 a standard is worth 500xp, so for a party of 4 that's 2k xp for a 10th level encounter. For about the same xp price you can...

At the end of the day, any RPG of any stripe is a simulation. By their very nature, they are the marriage of a story taking place in a specific setting and a set of mathematical equations and rules to govern 'fair' interactions between the Storyteller and the Player. There. That's my two cents...

Not sure if this was brought up or not, but I had a very, VERY minor thought: have you considered using "Marionette Control Bars" or something similar as the implement? I only say this because using the gloves takes up a body slot- preventing characters from using other magic gauntlets and...

Never been a big fan of modules because it requires more time and energy to memorize rather than making the world myself. (IMHO) ^_^ However, from time to time I do steal an idea (or create a variant thereof) from this list. It's been pretty helpful. ^_^ Good luck! The Big List of RPG Plots

Many Thanks Thank you very much for the positive feedback! I felt pretty excited by the concept when it hit me...now I just need it play tested. My main inspiration for the design was trying to make the weapon stats and usage as comparable to normal weapons as possible. I didn't want my...

Typo! Thanks for catching it! Alex, Under normal conditions (ie-when using the weapons for either ranged basic attacks or power attacks), they cost nothing to load (Load Free property). This ensures that a player's actions don't get bogged down by a bunch of random penalties just for doing...

So this seems like a ~fairly~ uncommon topic with a modest underground following. Hopefully I can still garner some decent feedback for the weapons I've made so far. Setting: Pre-War Eberron. The year is 533 by the Galifar calendar of Eberron, before THE War and just after the...
