    Guns require too many feats

    I like what you originally did with the "load minor." (with Firearm Expertise) My players are known for their optimization. I want a reason that people would use Crossbows and Bows still, to maintain the mix of fantasy with technology. After all if they do better damage than crossbows, with...

    Firearms Questions

    I am imagining that in my campaign guns will be fairly uncommon among the general populace. Advanced firearms may replicate magic effects, although they might not be magical. i.e. A Distance Carbine +1, doesn't necessarily owe its benefits to magic. It could be rifled and have more advanced...

    Crowd-sourcing revisions of the Intro Pack

    I think in AD&D 2nd edition elves reached Max Age at 350+4d100 years, and they were assumed to disappear into the afterlife.

    D&D 4E Another 4e Color Character Sheet

    I had originally chosen Adobe Illustrator because it allowed me to keep the Text as "text" when printed as a pdf. and lines are still "entities" rather than reducing the whole character sheet to just a jpg. The Neverwinter character sheet jpg was 6mb, and the pdf created from Adobe Illustrator...

    D&D 4E Another 4e Color Character Sheet

    Yeah, i got the idea from the Neverwinter Game Day character sheet. I am in the progress of making one for an Oriental Campaign a friend is going to run. The themes in that case will be the DnDinsider ones.

    D&D 4E Another 4e Color Character Sheet

    I wanted to make a character sheet, that I could add art to in the background. Since I have Adobe Illustrator i decided to use that method. I decided to use publishing software so that the Text, remains text when it is printed to pdf. (I have an older version of Adobe Illustrator) I thought...

    ZEITGEIST The Flint Irregulars, whose portraits you may have seen

    I won't be running ZEITGEIST for another month or two. (Finishing up a Dark Sun Campaign, thats almost 2 years old) Asrabey is a tricky situation. If it results in combat issue will come down to if the players have blown their Daily powers with miss damage yet or not. That way even missing...

    ZEITGEIST ZEITGEIST in legacy character builder

    I updated the Hunter , and Rogue classes. All the crossbow powers are updated. Unfortunately I was not able to get the power to work correctly with AppendNodes, instead i used RulesElement. This means if the powers are updated or changed by another mod this could complicate things, later on...

    Playing a Psionic

    Once you get over level 20. You still don't see these powers doing more damage, which is usually default for other classes level 1 at wills. Thats whats disappointing. Psion is missing some at wills that just do more damage, when you augment them. I don't expect there to be enough powers...

    ZEITGEIST ZEITGEIST in legacy character builder

    Your correct. The item itself is listed as 1d8 in the description. But in the equipment table and on the power card it is listed as 1d10. I will correct this in the next push. Almost done with the powers, although I haven't checked them to see if the way I am fixing them will work.

    ZEITGEIST ZEITGEIST in legacy character builder

    Fixed the Vekeshi Mystic power issue. Finished all the feats. Finished paragon paths features (not the powers associated with paragon paths yet). I am working my way through the powers, this will take the longest.

    ZEITGEIST ZEITGEIST in legacy character builder

    I am coding some XML to work with the Legacy Character Builder to add ZEITGEIST items. I am not here to discuss the methods you need to get this to work, that information can be found online on other websites. The current version of the file can be found: Zeitgeist.part UPDATED: 7/29/2011 An...

    Crowd-sourcing revisions of the Intro Pack

    My advice is just to let the Gunsmith theme to wield pistols in the off hand. http://www.enworld.org/forum/en-publishing/309312-pistol-off-hand.html

    Pistol in off-hand

    I modified the Gunsmith theme for our campaign. It now also adds the off-hand property to the pistol. I also modified Two Fisted Shooter to include pistols, but it does not reduce the reload time. If I can convince a friend to be the GM for this arc over the next 2 years then I myself might...

    Pistol in off-hand

    It makes sense that some one would be able to hold a pistol in their off-hand, and fire it. Allowing the (pistol) hand crossbow in the off-hand all the time wouldn't unbalance anything. Putting a hand crossbow in your off-hand is one of those things that the Character Builder prevents you from...

    Pistol in off-hand

    The Gunsmith theme seems tailored to rogues or rogue multi-classing, for Two-fisted Shooter. This way they can fully take advantage of the Power "The Man with Two Guns is God" Even with the special ability of not provoking attacks of opportunity, this power seems underwhelming for an...

    The DM Giveth and the DM Taketh Away

    In the senario it seems like the character investing himself in his ship, had a personal quest. These kinds of campaigns can been great, where one or more characters personal quests drive the campaign, and as a DM they are often one of the most fun for me. I like active players that already...

    Would you allow a companion animal as a mount?

    Mounted Combat is pretty weak in 4e. Letting them have a mount shouldn't break your game, as long as it doesn't affect the story. (i.e. it sounds believable to the party.) Riding your Gelatinous Cube Familiar after casting the "Familiar Mount" Ritual is probably still a no-go (unless your into...

    Rule of Three 6/13/2011: "semi-obscure but flavorful setting" in Dungeon and Dragon

    Red Steel would be fun, but I don't imagine that as something on WoTC's table. I don't imagine Spelljammer either, although Spelljammer would be interesting if released as a few DnDinsider articles with optional vehicle combat rules. Al-Qadim seems like a good candidate, but it is another...
