Duergar Tattoos LordOgre, Thanks for the comments. I've been away from the board and am just getting back to looking at posts. I like the idea of expanding tattoos or runes as a unique form of duergar magic. The tattoos would tie into the idea of duergar as a psionic race. If you get a...

James, Thanks for the reply. The Enchant an Item ritual states that the component cost = price of item, and the PHB also states that the price in the book is the base market price. I did overlook the part on pg 224 in the PHB where it says the price can be 10-40% above the base market price...

The Economy -- Problem for Me is Market for Created Items The pricing in the DND economy does not bother me. Generally, as a DM I control balance through controlling supply rather than price. The problem I am having with the 4e economy is the price to make versus the price to sell. (I'm...

Duergar PC Race Updated to V4 Folks, Based on feedback, I've updated the duergar PC race writeup in the first post to adjust the racial abilities (now version 4). I think this is the final draft pending additional playtest comments/results. Hope you enjoy using it. Melfast.

Feytouched and Duergar Moonsword, I'm not sure what you are referring to here with your comments on Feytouched. Were you looking at the first version of the duergar where I had them being dwarf-blooded, using similar language to feytouched? The current version (v3) removed that since I have...

Duergar Racial Powers PPaladin, Expand is a racial power that they have take a feat to get. Good catch on the comparison to the Swordmage power. I hadn't noticed it before. Expand may have to become a daily. After looking at Giant's Might, the Swordmage power, I think the duergar racial...

Picks and Duergars StAlda, Picks are an appealing choice. I think if I go with a second weapon for duergar weapon proficiency, I will add in the picks. I'm not sure I want to replace the warhammer entirely, yet. I'll have to look at it. I suppose given the new philosophy that NPC's and...

Duergar Weapon Proficiency Chronoplasm, I'm glad you think this version is better. I appreciate your comments and helping me make it better. Regarding the racial weapon proficiency, I agree it would make the duergar a little more distinctive from dwarves if they used an axe instead of a...

Duergar PC Race -- updated Nivenus and Chrono, Thanks for the comments. I've updated the version on the first post (v3) to reflect the changes I made based on your comments. My rationale for applying/holding on applying your suggestions follow: Upon reflection, I agree that Duergar and...

Duergar Traits Nivenus, Thanks for the comments! I'm not sure how, but you seem to have been looking at the original and not the updated version of the race write-up I posted last night. In the updated version, the duergar have +2 Con and +2 Int, and their number of racial abilites was...

Duergar PC Race Characteristics Updated I updated the characteristics of the duergar to better balance it against the other 1st level races (click the button in the first message). Cut-out some starting abilities, limited the illusion protection to be the same as regular dwarf's resistance to...

Duergar Traits Hawkwing, I thought about that, but I was concerned about balancing them at first level with other races. Genasi can take a similar feat to get increased resistances. I'm not sure about the approach I took with racial feats/powers. I think it may make the race too...

Note -- Updated the race write-up to version 4, incorporating comments. Changes: Adjusted Avernal Bloodline racial feat to have a daily effect instead of encounter, added option to gain proficiency in war pick in lieu of the standard warhammer, adjusted the write-up for the expand racial power...

Updated Demon Dance Folks, I like it, but have two questions. First, it says "Effect: Any time you deal damage to an enemy with a melee attack" So, if I use an ability like Dragon Tail Slap or Serpent Bends Aside that are immediate reactions, does the stance allow me to do the extra...

Spellbinder and Illusion Spells in Dragon 364 Ari, The Class Acts article in Dragon 364 had nine new illusion spells for wizards (all from levels 1-10). Given the specialization of the Spellbinder on illusions, would it make sense to trade some or all of these spells for the ones on the...

Demon Dance Redux I suggest Daily 5 and change to damage = Wisdom Modifier (using same ability as Writhing Serpent Strike, which is not going to be as high as Dexterity). I like the idea of moving it to affect characters who end their turns within 2 squares just to differentiate it from Rain...

Linking Problem Thanks! Looks like a cool resource.

Error Message When Using Link Following up -- Here is what IE is telling me: "Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage Most likely causes: You are not connected to the Internet. The website is encountering problems. There might be a typing error in the address."...

Problem With Link? I have tried the old and new links, but neither works for me. If it is working for everyone else, then it may just be my AV/firewall. Anyone else having problems? r/ Melfast

Updated Screen in Portrait Format I took Lord Tirian's landscape DM screen and changed it to protrait since that is what I still use. I also added a few more tables and rules and updated it to reflect the latest errata. No cool pictures though; you'll have to add those yourself. -- Melfast
