    Info on the Wizard (Looked at the book today)

    What and there wasn't going to be another one ;) Any examples of what you can and cannot do with Prestidigation I think the whole wizard being more powerful is WotC trying to balance out the bell curves of wizard vs fighter strengths in earlier ed. Wizards were weak to begin with but became...

    KotS intimidation fun.

    very nice and I would say a roleplaying encounter worthy of a bonus action point This really made me laugh, I can imagine the Paladin with an arm across the kobold back walking of into the distance Nice bit of improv from the DM I must say

    D&D 4E 4e: Death of the Bildungsroman

    I have no problem halving the HP but it's the spells and exploits you need to cut back too perhaps scale back at will to encounter and encounter to daily leaving racial powers as is so a human gets one @will one encounter and one daily and eladrin gets no @will but two encounter and one daily...

    D&D 4E 4e: Death of the Bildungsroman

    Relative to commoners 1 level 3E characters were only a small step, commoner to 1 lvl 4E characters are a much larger step, 1 lvl wizards were not able to cast magic missile all day every day, we never have minions before but they would make great fodder for the low level character to cut their...

    Zombie Minions are too weak

    Unless its example of editing due to lack of space but they wouldn't do that would they :D As is players will see Zombies and say "Woot bonus xp! Charge"

    D&D 4E "Orphans Preferred" - Planning for my 4e Practice Game

    You would hope that any savvy party would try and watch their back especially if they see a treasure trove and a lake nearby Perhaps capturing the goblin during the undead fight and have him tied and gagged hanging from the roof near the treasure behind the curtain making gurgling noises or (or...

    Rogue powers, sneak attack and weapon selection

    I think an easier way to fix sneak attack is that you can only do it with weapons you are proficient with, it makes no sense that a rogue can SA a dragon with a dagger but not a longsword. Its about precision not backstabbing (hence the rename) if you can get a clear shot at some vital area...

    Anything on what's in the DMG II?

    How to convert your 4E character into a WOW character ;) I kid, I kid I wouldn't mind a book of challanges and intrege

    Minions are:

    This is one feature of 4E I would have loved to have had when 3E came out They are just cannon fodder but can hurt you if you don't watch out plus I would have loved to see the look on a wizards face when his maximised fireball went bang and half the minons look at him as if to say "Is that...

    Paladins and alignment

    The truth of the Paladin was that they must be Lawful Good Now the alignments have changed I wonder how they are going to put the other variations of the paladin together there is no LN or LE. I know 3E had all alignment variations (from dragon) we used a LN Paladin in our RttToEE campaign...

    Is it time for a new setting?

    Give me Dragonlance then Ravenloft then Spelljammer then Darksun Spelljammer always seems to go just before the edition crash ;) and you need a variety of worlds in which they can jump from, plus what would SJ be without Tinker's No new setting until 5E, give the old stuff some love

    The Bard and Bard Colleges

    In a campaign were certain roles are not needed or are restricted for what ever reason ie limited spellcasting due to a spell plague they can add spellcasting of a lower caliber And if they have bardic knowledge then thats pretty unique to that class also they are backup for a variety of roles...

    The Bard and Bard Colleges

    The bard idea I have always liked is they can do it all but are masters of none, they pick up bits and pieces as they travel telling stories 4E eg would be they can mark like a fighter but only one target they can cast a like mage as encounter power they can cast like a cleric as an encounter...

    Excerpt: Economies [merged]

    The way I look at it is the 20% value the PC's get when selling an item represents the amount of money they require to spend in order to prove that the item is magical, there are too many instances of shifty salesmen claiming their items are +X when really they are just masterwork The 140% is...

    Dragonlance vs. Forgotten Realms

    And we all love you for your hard work, and hopefully when WotC get around to doing a campaign setting(2099) they will either use your stuff or have you advise on it (if your still around) btw the Age of Mortals Campaign is really great, I haven't had this much fun since I ran Return to the...

    Residuum: A Re-Fluffing

    II don't you remember the hunt for the gems to make your sword uber :D everyone rips from the best source, otherwise its not worth taking I like the new rules as it allows for more customized characters, and if you make disenchanting a little harder its easy to make a plot or side quest out...

    Dragonlance vs. Forgotten Realms

    I love both settings and played both in 2e 3e and hopefully 4e DL is cool due to dragons, draconians(not dragonborn), kender and the limitations of magic (mage curse) if you prefer a low magic setting where it isn't the mage who always saves the day and has a variety of Knighthoods to join Find...

    Residuum: A Re-Fluffing

    So why not leave it as a specific class ability or feat rather than give everyone the ability to do it? And anyway it was in Diablo before Eberron :P The problem common people have using magic is the right sized font and the tone and inflection in the word ;) It all depend on how you view...
