Interesting idea - question though. Is each PC/Monter combo a separate track of enchantments? Like, say I, Joe PC, am in a combat that features two enchantress elites, and they both hit me with powers that give me 10 enchantment tokens. Am I dominated by each of them simultaneously or...

My first thought was also to use Neverwinter itself instead of Kiris Dahn. You'd have to adopt the backstory of the adventure slightly, but unless you're playing all humans you can have SS take place about 10 years after the cataclysm, goblins having moved into the city after all the others...

If you're a DDI subscriber, consider this article: Dungeons & Dragons Roleplaying Game Official Home Page - Article (Strongholds) It's Unearthed Arcana, and so not strictly "core" to the game, but it would be one way to accomplish most if not all of what your players want to do. Hope that...

I am running the Slaying Stone right now (in fact, we're going to finish it tonight). Some ideas for you - you can switch the goblins to a more traditional occupying force (say from an invading nation). Alternatively, you can reskin them as something else - say a different tribe of kobolds, or...

**Minor Spoilers Ahead** Sorry I don't really know how to do tagging, promise I won't give away major plot points. Retreater - I totally get where you're coming from in terms of players getting confused among so many different NPCs; I run a story-driven game for players who are both casual and...

Thanks for your thoughts, Stormonu. Interesting thought. It's a little outside the scope of this particular discussion and may have some story consequences, but I can see the argument. Especially since, in my opinion, there's a lot of non-power-specific "ritualesque" activity with using...

Ah, I see. This would be a reasonable and moderate change to make in lieu of my house rule. Not sure either way is better than the other, just a matter of degree. I think this is sorta what I had in mind before, but with an intermediary step to blend with the current rules (which is a good...

Thanks for the feedback, guys Interesting point. Hadn't thought about that. Of course, they'd still have to take Ritual Caster, but yeah that's a Consideration I would add. I take your point. I for one wouldn't mind them loading up on combat-centric skills as I tend to run a game where...

A house rule I'm considering for future 4e games. Observation: In most cases (IMO), most of the skills in which a PC gets training are attained at 1st level. Because these skills form the basis of the character's non-combat identity, they are an important if not the most important means by...

Stick it to WotC! The title of my post is a bit tongue in cheek, of course. What I meant to say is that you could make a Thief whose best scores were Int (per the OP); Constitution (for camping around at old ruins); Wisdom for Dungeoneering, Perception and Insight. You would take Melee...

Too Late? Hi. I realize I may be really late to the game here, but I just saw this. By all appearances, Zeitgeist is right up my and my players' alley and I'd very much like to run it. Would it still be possible to participate in this early read-through? Thanks Aoi

Thanks for bringing this to my attention! It looks really cool, and your review provided a lot of helpful info. For your consideration, the way I read your review was a lot more positive than the number ratings you gave. But, of course, others may read it differently - just something to...

A couple of thoughts: 1) What you're describing is not really an intelligence agency per se, but a specialized law enforcement agency, somewhere in between the FBI and Interpol. It monitors supernatural activity, but that alone does not make it an intelligence agency - even your local city...

Hello Enworlders, I am designing a female NPC for a 4e minicampaign I am preparing, and I want her to be a realistic or at least non-asinine portrayal of how a woman would actually behave, and how aspects of her background might affect her differently than if she were a man. I am not female...

Well, it looks like no one's responding, which is fine *sniffle**sniffle* If anyone uses this or something like it in their game, please let me know how it worked for you, k? Thanks

Hello Enworlders, A random thought for a houserule, wanted to see what folks thought. Presented in a form here. The basic goal is to be able to fashion an "okay" encounter out of an overly easy or difficult one on the fly. The key is to recognize it early, and kick the Equalizer into effect...

Also, FYI for Insiders, there's an interesting discussion of the new DCs (as well as the official unveiling of the new ones) here. An interesting discussion point is when to use each skill difficulty. It's a bit different from my previous thoughts, and very interesting. So, there you go.

This replaces the pg 42 and p 184, DCs by level table (per Siberys' reply), with the addition of the "increase from previous" columns. The "increase from previous" column for each difficulty level references the previous row in my table, not the previous DC at that difficulty and level. The...

Hi everyone, First off, thanks for the XPs and the comments. Jhaelen and I will have to have a sort of Old Master vs. New Upstart battle for supremacy, which will start something like this. Aoi: when I started my own DC-crunching thread I was but a learner, now I am the Master Jhaelen...

I know folks have mentioned Dark Sun, but I thought I would just make sure that you also knew that they have an "arena favor" subsystem. Basically, as the gladiators win matches, they get a treasure parcel worth of "Town X arena favor" with the area that the arena is in. The "favor" has a...
