An idea for healing in 5th edition D&D: In 4th edition D&D, I find the question about when a character should use his Daily abilities to be a bit problematic. I would rather that most abilities be At-Will or Encounter. I wanted to come up with a way for a character to recover from damage...

Half-elves in 4e are just plain weak. They get fewer than half the perks that any other race gets. I suggest two simple solutions that won't require you to rewrite your NPCs. 1) Allow a half-elf to apply a +2 bonus to any two ability scores of his choice, instead of to Constitution and...
