There's no official rules for this (and good riddance). But you could possibly set it up like a disease or like any other attack's effect. "The target appears to visibly age. They are slowed (save ends). First failed save: weakened and slowed (save ends both). Second failed save: the effect...

I was all set to play <a href="http://dl.dropbox.com/u/13352313/gerasim.pdf">a psion who would always have three to five ghostly spirits at his beck and call</a> the other night, until the game got cancelled. Each spirit had slightly different mechanics ("No, Spirit Jim is an encounter power...

Game Day characters are always full of mistakes. If there's a discrepancy, the character is likely wrong.

So if you do have the Spiked chain Training feat, could you enchant the spiked chain with light blade only enchantments? Could you enchant it as a Mage's Weapon and then hand it to your friend and he can use it?

The only genasi I an see that is particularly breakable is the stormsoul genasi. The windsoul one isn't harmful in any obvious way. But if genasi doesn't work, consider githyanki instead. They also get an encounter flying power (usable on others), and their stat bonuses work about as well...

Rituals already have categories. Each one is a Travel ritual or a Divination ritual or an Exploration ritual or whatever. So all that would need changed is the order things are presented.

That is sort of the point. The first book (Heroes of Fallen Lands) is the more traditional fantasy, where you get the standard 4 D&D classes (Cleric, Rogue, Wizard, Fighter) and the races that you see in Lord of the Rings (and have been in D&D forever). The second book is for people looking...

That looks surprisingly like the word document that I use for my characters. Increasingly, I prefer to sort powers by action type, rather than by usage. Then I note with the power how often it can be used.

The Essentials humans basically do get that. Their racial power adds +4 to one d20 roll after they see what it is.

Why? Dwarves have been making weapon attacks using their racial stat boosts for a long time. It wasn't ever unbalanced when my dwarven Avenger got a bonus to his Wisdom based attacks or a dwarven Battlemind or Hexhammer Warlock made Con based weapon attacks. So why is it so broken for them to...

A lot of the action in Dark Sun goes on in the seven big city-states and in the smaller villages around the setting. Your characters will inevitably get reasons why they want to go into the various cities, where they'll have to deal a lot with various NPCs without direct murderous intentions.

Nonsense. The contest says "What are your fondest memories of playing with the original red box?" not "What are your fondest memories of playing with the original red box back in 1983?" You could have purchased the Red Box off of eBay and started playing it last week, and write about that...

This is nothing new. The same was true of nearly all non-PHB classes in 3.x: you couldn't use Hexblades or Warlocks or Favored Souls in an adventure because those things weren't in the SRD. And yet, 3.x had a thriving 3rd party market. On the other hand, the workarounds for such a problem are...

Even if there aren't gods performing miracles all the time, that doesn't mean that there aren't religions on Athas. (Just like in real life.) There are religions worshipping several Sorcerer-kings, other minor religions, cults of a variety of different kinds, dead gods and their religions...

Thri-kreen attack is vs. AC. Which probably accounts for the bigger/scaling bonus as compared to the Dragonborn.

Why not plan the encounter(s) first and then print and cut the tokens that you need?

Dark Sun assumes that you're using the inherent magical bonuses rules, so at level 26 you're getting an automatic +6 to hit just from being awesome.

Step 1: Take Warforged Step 2: Replace Str bonus with Int bonus Step 3: Scratch out "Warforged" on sheet and write in "Modron". Done.

You are allowed to take as many multiclass feats as you want from the class you multiclassed into. There are several multiclass feats that wouldn't work at all under the restrictive interpretation you propose (ones that require other multiclass feats, mainly). Note that there was errata for...

Bargle's an NPC, so he does whatever you need him to do. He could steal mechanics from both wizard and warlock, if needed. If I were making 4e Bargle, he'd have ability to fit the railroady nature of the original solo adventure: "When Bargle rolls initiative, he also turns invisible and makes...
