double post. see below.

If you are interested, check out the link in my signature. It is a list of every god (dead or otherwise) that has appeared in the 4e PoL setting, the astral domains they occupy/occupied, their divine portfolios, and the books/magazines they appear in. There is a lot of interesting lore that you...

Well, this is the level 30 feature for the epic destiny, "Magister." They ended up issuing errata: "The ritual you perform cannot directly affect an enemy. For example, you could perform Raise Dead and revive an ally who could then rejoin the fight. However, you could not perform...

I'd be interested hearing more about your house rules for rituals, Kamikaze Midget. Have you posted them anywhere? I was also wondering what you thought of the duration of many of the scrying rituals. The 3-6 rounds(~ 30 seconds) they typically give you isn't particularly useful.

While this is a hilarious post, I think it is a bit extreme; the rune priest has some decent options and a strong base. It really just needs more support in the way of (non-rune) feats, powers, and a few paragon paths. I am not particularly optimistic that it will receive that support though.

Since you want to keep enemies next to you and in your defender aura, thunderwave wouldn't be particularly beneficial to a knight.

I love the flavor and I love the idea of switching between rune state auras when using abilities. Problems: 1. The auras and powers provide many small, fiddly modifiers that quickly add up and are hard to keep track of effectively. They are also not of standard size; there are burst 5...

The owner of the local mine hires the heroic tier PCs to clear it of a nasty kobold infestation. He doesn't hire paragon or epic tier heroes to do the job because: 1. They are off fighting ancient evils on another plane. There are, in fact, multiple threats large and small to the world. 2. He...

1. This is going to be locked. Politics are a no-no on this board. 2. His plan was Liberia. You can read up on it. I also suggest you read Frederick Douglas's excellent eulogy to Lincoln. It is a great and insightful piece about a flawed, prejudiced, and yet truly heroic man. Douglas's nuanced...

Wow, this thread is draining what little faith I have left in humanity. I always protest when my "mainstream" friends tease me about rpg players being uncouth basement dwelling cave-beasts. I pray they never find this thread. :confused:

Yeah I never understood that....half-elves obviously emerge out of love. Half-orcs? Well obviously there is rape involved. Do we really need to assume rape? Can't you have a setting in which half-orcs are the product of consensual relationships? Can't you have a setting where half-elves emerge...

This is an interesting article. I am worried that that Robert Schwalb seems to be the only person writing for dragon anymore though!

Yup, way ahead of you. :-)

Hmm, good. It could be more explicit, and I shouldn't have to know, off hand, the experience associated with each level (say if I drop 3+ levels) but I am glad it is there. Thank you.

This is approaching a decent builder option. There are still some problems: 1. Paragon paths are hidden away under character backgrounds instead of in the class section where they would intuitively be. 2. The builder makes the paragon path choice for you if choose an essentials class, even if...

One day I'll be able to use this thing to quickly produce characters for my games. Just need: *House rules *inherent bonuses *powers cards that display the math *Print text instead of print image *Character sheet that doesn't consist of 7-8 pages of seemingly randomly placed powers and items.

I keep hoping that WotC will go back and fix the V-shaped class builds that they implicitly admitted were a mistake (the recently canceled Heroes of Spell and Sword promised to start that process). I'd like to see them give the other races the "essentials" treatment (flexible stats, cleaned up...

I didn't see this posted here on enworld, so I thought I would link it: http://diceofdoom.com/blog/2010/03/speeding-up-dd-4e-combat-morale/ I was impressed with the simplicity of this system. It looks like a good way to reduce grind. Along with the updates to monster hp/damage/defenses, it...

I got seriously caught up in the ARG the developers used to advertise Alpha Omega during the run up to its release.* The webpage and books look downright amazing but the setting looks like an absolute mess: there are angels and demons and half-human hybrids of the former....and sentient...

I suggest buying or building a dice tower. It takes the technique out of rolling and pretty much guarantees true randomness in results. Sure it may be fun to role play the bumbling dummy sometimes (I did this for a while when it became clear that my dice were trying to kill me) but sometimes you...
