    Three Traits of a Good Class

    Super Genius Games has a series of "Talented" classes for Pathfinder, like "The Talented Fighter". They start with a basic layout, fighters get d10, full BAB progression, etc. But the class abilities are all a la carte, and chosen from an extensive list of "talents". This is done by the player...

    Pretty Darn Fun (a look at new PDFs)

    Not only does the SW Deluxe edition cost the same, but it also includes most of the SW Fantasy Companion rules within.

    What did you do with your playable Goblin race?

    I can see an at-will minor action that allows a shift being abused. Especially combined with powers that allow a shift before or after your attack. It presents a very tempting skirmisher class though - move in, hit with some power that grants a shift, then shift again... very little would ever...

    What did you do with your playable Goblin race?

    Thanks for the link. After reading it, I realized I had read it a few days ago. Somehow my mind is growing feebler by the day. I like your treatment of Goblins and may adopt something similar in the campaign world I'm working on. The Kobold action is a good compromise as well.

    Martial Power 2 - Comments, Reviews, Noteworthy Stuff?

    Finally got my book in the mail yesterday. I'm actually quite pleased with the treatment given shield users in combat styles now that I have the complete picture. Not only is there the Ninth Legion style, but also the Kulkor Battlearm style. While not requiring a shield per se, the...

    D&D 4E House Rules for a 4e WoW Game- Looking for constructive criticism

    As someone who left WoW after nearly 4 years of playing, I think you've done a great job of capturing the game in a D&D ruleset. This is something i've considered doing myself though I fear it would just make me "homesick" for the "real thing". It will be interesting to hear how your campaign...

    What did you do with your playable Goblin race?

    Going strictly by the MM description, Goblin Tactics is an at-will power. Is that too powerful for a PC? Should I make it an encounter power for a PC Goblin race? And the Kobold's Shifty power looks like it would be just a steaming pile of abuse if allowed in its MM form for a PC.

    4e DMs: Allow players a 5 minute rest after EVERY encounter?

    Hmm... while I have not played any 3e or 3.5 (I went straight from 2nd ed AD&D to 4e), I do own Pathfinder. Having read through that - and assuming it is similar to 3.5 - I can say that 4e combat is considerably more streamlined. I was actually looking forward to playing Pathfinder but once I...

    Martial Power 2 - Comments, Reviews, Noteworthy Stuff?

    My copy is still in transit so I've only seen what's on DDI, but I'm rather disappointed there was no sword-n-board fighting style (sword in name only, really any weapon + shield fighting style).

    Is DDI Worthwhile in Your Opinion?

    Yes, definitely. With caveats. As some have indicated, you only need a 1 month subscription a couple times each year. Be aware though, that you are - by default - enrolled in an auto-renewing subscription much like an MMO. You will have to manually remove your account from this status to...

    Anyone tried the new RuneQuest II from Mongoose?

    Just trying to see if anyone has picked it up and at least read through it yet. The previews look solid, but there is yet to be a single review posted on Amazon.com or Amazon.co.uk.
