    Alternative HP systems

    I am planning on running a pathfinder campaign soon and I want to introduce a slightly modified combat system which introuced less abstraction and more weapon based effects. I have been messing about with a system which utilizes the existing system of hitpoints and saving throws. Essentially...

    NPC Swordmage

    Im trying to create a swordmage NPC following the rules for NPC creation in the DMG p.186-188. Now I wanted to create this swordmage using a fullblade from the adventurer's vault but this is a superior weapon which the swordmage is not proficient with. Given that the rules of NPC creation ignore...

    How long should a standard combat last?

    At the moment encounter length is causing my group serious concerns. We are a veteran group of D&D players with many editions and years of experience behind us and we all love trying out anything new to see if it improves the game experience yet 4th edition is really messing with our heads. For...

    DM's: Do you have one player in your group you'd like to give the boot?

    Player issues Yes I do. I know exactly the problem your having. I have a player/friend who has been a right pain recently. Over time he has become bullying, obnoxious, loud and interupting, he isn't a very good roleplayer, in fact he has stopped playing in character altogether and he likes to...

    Is Wraithstrike the wrong level?

    I have a severe problem with wraithstrike. I am running Red hand of Doom and basically a 9th level Sorcerer took out a CR10 red dragon without breaking a sweat due to it. He polymorphed into a hag, cast fly met it in hand to hand and wraithstriked twice. With such a low Touch AC (even with...

    DM's: Are you afraid to kill PC's because of how players might react?

    Two nights ago I was Dm'ing the Red Hand of Doom and the players had gotten to the Ghostlords lair. The game had been eventful but not really life threatening to the players up until this point but due to a combination of really bad luck, really bad judgement, player arrogance and DM...

    Fresh Campaign Setting Sought

    Warhammer for sure. I just read through the main rules, bestiary and armoury books and can't wait to play this again. It's so similar to the original edition ; gritty, bleak but epic as well yet with nice new elements. The bestiary is in 2 sections, the first is for everyone and is purely...

    Slight change to combat round.

    I have tried the system out already to a limited degree and could not see any slow down in combat but I will admit it was not a complicated combat. I wanted to see what possible bugbears (pardon the pun) you guys could foresee before I bothered with a more complex combat. I know the D20 system...

    Slight change to combat round.

    IF you mean quickened spells then they can add this at any time as a free action, otherwise what do you mean?

    Slight change to combat round.

    Apologies if this has been dealt with by another thread. I am always tampering with the rules and am currently experimenting with making the D&D combat rules slightly more realistic by splitting the combat round into 2 turns. What negative affects can anybody see this having? It would be...
