What you described isn't what I'm representing. When I say feats are meant to ROUND OUT a character, that's what I mean. Say I pick 'bloody axe' stuff to start, but I want to be bilingual and take bold movements in battle? Well, then I take a feat that gives me another language and a feat...

Feats are meant to round the character out and give more flavor. I particularly enjoy racial feats to help underscore certain racial aptitudes that can't be put on the class naturally without making them broken. 'Gimme a +1' feats are real boring though. You need to be more creative than...

There's actually suggested amounts for standard and restricted damage attacks on the DM screen. I keep my own version of the tables, cleaned up a bit so it's all based off of d6's, if you want to see. It's what I use as a general guideline when building or tweaking powers for companions or...

Does anyone have any solutions for storage options for tokens and maps for on the go? When I don't DM at my house, its a real pain in the ass bringing everything over to other peoples' houses and I imagine maybe there's a tackle box or something that fits what I'm looking for? I just haven't...

Do what i do. If they take longer than 30 seconds to start taking actions, they forfeit their turn. Gotta keep combat moving.

You're basically making 4th ed more like 3rd ed by doing this. Back then we had X amount of level 1 spells, Y amount of level 2 spells, and so on. Just maintain a list of daily and encounter attacks you know, and allow X amount of dailies per day for the character and Y amount of encouters per...

Personally I hated the idea of mundane classes with dailies. It just doesn't make sense to me. Figure these characters train and train to do these complex and powerful attacks, and they just do them once a day? Why? They don't seem particularly taxing on the body. The fighter's supposed to...

When describing a sporty skill challenge to a sports fan, its a good idea to listen to sportscasters -- turn on the radio to a baseball game or something so you can get the feel of the voice he might be looking for.

Are you gonna update their tokens once they get UBER LEET GEAR!? They're so hilarious as they are, such skinny arms. They really look like rag-tag level 1 adventurers.

I don't think they need to be cleaned up at all. If you want a real 1970s mom's basement feel to your game, they're absolutely perfect! The only question is what the hell do you print them on so they don't blow away? I keep my ceiling fan on while playing to beat the heat!

I wouldn't count tremendously on their interest in LOTR unless they own memorabilia or something. Yeah, craft their characters in the stereotypes, as that's what they're expecting and it will be easier for them to accept, but stop there. Yes, make a really goofy adventure. NO, do not ask for...

I've been, for probably three or so years now, been working on a total remodeling of DnD. I started in 3rd ed, trying to make Martial combat more interesting. Then I hoped to differentiate between the caster classes a little bit more. On and on, and it's gotten rather big, so I put it all in...

Something should also be added in there that if you are Sustaining a spell or effect, it needs to end. I like Sustains to be interrupted by Daze as well.

I really enjoy this idea as a Barbarian or Fighter, or even Paladin encounter exploit, but for a Wizard? Why would he have the ability to do this? It doesn't seem to fit for most of the classes, but for some, it sounds great. Maybe put it in as a Feat, and require Strength or Constitution...

Thanks for the catch brunswick -- new attachment has been corrected.

No Eladrian or Tieflings or Dragonborn, sorry I just can't stomach it. I just remember back to when Eladrian were Outsiders, and Tieflings and Dragonborn were LA+2. All of these races should be phenomenally rare. I'm more of a 3rd Ed purist, so Gnomes and Half-Orcs remain. I also added...

Tweak it however you want. I think this oughta get you goin, though. This is totally not a level 9 weapon, but you said level 9 so whatev. It's "Legendary" or something.

very clean and can be digitally filled out, though you need Acrobat Pro to save what you've filled out. It'll automatically compile math for skills and defenses and attack bonuses, too. I really prefer my sheet to others as it's horizontal so it wont poke out onto the map, has space for...

I totally get this. I don't know how I feel about knocking out the feat altogether, though. Will it really make them broken if you play like this? And shouldn't you leave the availability to the player to decide "I want to be untouchable so I'm gonna push my REF as far as it can go?". That...
