A scimitar is just a sabre. A heavy curved wide bladed sword is a Shamshir. A falchion is like a fat machete. There is a big difference between them.

It would be nice if you could update them as well to remove mistakes, add freely available content and, without the page count restraint, add more clearly defined text to avoid years and years and years of messy sage advice.

You could have the dismiss heal the summoner (I was thinking Necromancer) how ever many HP the creature has left, with extra HP lost. A Necromancer could summon a creature with a standard and then suck it dry with a minor dismiss action. A new take on healing for a Necromancer with the Leader Role.

I like that idea - harsh, but a clear balance to action economy.

I got Gelatinious Cube and a load of Human Rabble first time, which I found funny and thought 'that would never work.' Then I got images of the old version of the film "The Blob." and it made me think how it could work. Random is interesting, makes you think, even if the combo doesn't work it...

I would have them as dodgy outcasts - with internal conflicts.

There has been lots of discussion on how summoning is broken because of getting extra attacks and hitpoints. I was just thinking: How about using a healing surge to summon. This might address the hit point issue. You are investing your hit points in the summoned/animated creature. Plus to...

I was thinking about this with the Blinding Barrage rogue power. I don't like the fact you can use a crossbow with it (unless it is a specialy designed one) but it would be okay with daggers and shuriken - a couple of hand fulls of them, one for each target. At least with a bow you can...

I would only use Thievery if the gem was stolen - you know how much you can get for it when selling to fence.

Perception. But to be honest unless it is in some way special I wouldn't bother. History - It is the gem missing, from the time of the king's great grandfather's reign, from the royal crown - take it to the king and he will probably pay full-double price + some good will.

You said it first. The only way that makes sense when you take away personality damage - Example = "The rules are the rules - it doesn't matter if it doesn't work or make sense."

I was a bit disappointed by 4E in this respect. They gave the impression that they were going to balance the combat aspects of each class, which they did, and develop the non-combat parts of the class separately, which they did in a way - they just didn't bother with any of them much. The...

On the RPGMP3.com Shadowfell Actual Play session they used Nature to examine some tracks and identify what made them. They didn't use the skill to actually track what made them down, however. So, thinking about it, I would use Nature, Dungeoneering and Streetwise to gather specific information...

That is one of many instances when I believe you should have a group roll. Someone from the group rolls for the whole party/monster group. Then everyone adds their mods. Only one roll - only one chance (sort of) to detect and only the best observers detect. Of course this only applies to...

Haven't seen this on the boards so I thought I would bung them on just in case no-one has. These are both first sessions from Keep on the Shadowfell. RPGMP3.com and The Tome Actual Play. Keep on the Shadowfell session 1. RPGMP3.COM...

Gods are against the natural order so they must be evil as well then. This why I liked the fact they were getting rid of alignments only to be disappointed that the crappy things were still in. If messing around with corpses was inherently evil then there will be allot of medical students...

Bullrushing an ally would be interesting. Pushing them away from a hazard or out of the way of an attacker.

Just add a Profession skill, (simple really so I don't know why they didn't just put it in.) Every PC gets free Profession(?). The PC fills in the ? Simple. Profession(Blacksmith) Profession(Performer) Profession(Bowyer/Fletcher/Arrowsmith) Profession(Assistant) Profession(Bookmaker) The...

You're all just stupid. It's soooo easy. You just have to think outside the box. I mean sphere. I think. Damn it!!!!!!!

The feel of the description suggests that the portal is from square to square - in other words ground location to ground location. Trying to put the portal up in the air seems to be 'not in the spirit' of the description. This is how I would rule it. Doing otherwise is just 'obtaining a...
