This does have a certain elegance and flow. I do have a series of thoughts: How many people have to 'actively' participate and how many can Aid Other? How does one 'dig out of a hole'? I think someone else mentioned this. If the first three people fail, the last two people can't really...

It could always be errata'd to work in another fashion was my implication I suppose. I've not had to deal it with myself, this all started when someone's DM houseruled that taking damage while slept broke the effect. This of course started a huge... discussion. Curious I asked for an...

Heh, not having either an orb wizard or a Sleep wizard in my group I hadn't noticed that. That means that even at first level if a wise orb wizard does this that BBEG now has a 40% chance to fail the saving throw and that 40% continues on each round. So now with an 18 wisdom Orb Wizard...

Of course it was in doubt. Everything's in doubt by someone. :) I do think it may be very OP by a smart group though, at least 20% of the time. 5 players playing wisely, not exploiting could get 9 critical hits on your BBEG 20% of the time, i.e. when your BBEG rolls a 1-4 on his save versus...

As this is my third posting it's going to be a little short but to whit: The Wizard Sleep spell can only be 'broken' by the slept creature making its saving throw. Damage, yelling, tickling, cold water, will not affect the magic induced sleep. That's from a CSR in response to a question I...

I don't necessarily think stowing an item on the run would need this. Whether you use your minor to draw or stow an item it could occur at the start or end of a move and be fluffed out as having been done on the run. The door I believe is a special case by case basis. Frankly I'd lean toward...

I can't really speak to a lot of your question but in looking at your pdf. Your Aura of protection strikes me as a wizardly thing and extremely good for a class power. It would feel better to me if it was a resist to Necrotic only and had had a high sustain cost. (And resist Radiant for...

Excellent idea! Updated: Probably the biggest change is there are now styles for most of the... well styles in the document so it's a lot easier to modify the look and feel. Be careful it's easy to break the stat block though if you change the default style. I added a basic tan title page...

I created a module template for my own usage and in the process added enough information that I think someone might get some use out of it. It's graphic free for a variety of reasons, the majority of which stem from trying to write a module with graphics in it using Word. Also to save ink as...

When you say massive damage are you talking about a huge hit point pool or just a really big hit? In the first case the easiest thing to do is either increase their hitpoints or give them a damage resist of X. You could also up the hitpoints and lower their defenses significantly so that...

Sweet. Very nice work.

I've switched to using little sandwich boards that I made that I plan to flip over to each player as they need them, I also create and print stat cards for the monsters use MSE and I just stick the markers as I need them on the cards. The obvious problem I ran into trying to use magnets is...

Some general impressions, mechanically they don't look too bad, nothing glaring at least jumped out at me although I didn't 'do the math'. Thematically I would question a thieves guild that brazenly marks themselves with red bandannas? Unless thieves guilds are an open thing and membership in...

This is the one I've made up based on some starting thoughts by someone over on the fourth edition forum. There's a PDF that can be printed out if you like what you see. http://www.keyourcars.com/2008/06/13/half-orcs-in-4th-edition/

What I'm doing (as I agree with the OP) is that minions become more Mooklike ala True 20 and they now have a toughness rating. I'm setting this as the average damage of a an appropriate level players at will damage (maybe +1). If the player doesn't deal X damage to the Mook it's unaffected...

For what it's worth this has been mentioned before and the math does show that the ranger is equitable with the warlock and rogue in terms of overall dps and not out of balance with them. I believe mathmatically the ranger comes out 1 point or so on average higher in the low levels. There are...

I used what I'm calling a Mook idea based on something someone posted about on the 4th ed forums. It's very much like the Mook + Toughness in True 20 and Mook + (something that I forget) in Savage Worlds (never played SW). And similiar to the second poster. Essentially the idea is the...

Just a minor quibble, thanks to the inverse square law, at 9' tall they'd be significantly heavier than 400lbs especially as described with their stocky build. Also I think they'd be even heavier than one would think because to support a 9' tall structure they'd have have correspondingly denser...

I thought it was pretty cool personally. :) You should link it here directly though.

Just wanted to say thanks for the sheet. I used it as a GOOD reference point to roll my own unlike that monstrosity in the PHB. Not that yours is bad, it's just that printed out the white text in black boxes weren't all that clear on my printer and had my aging group of gamers picking them up...
