    Sorcerer: the only class I'm worried about (and how I'd make it)

    If I associated Charm (with capital C) with Charisma was because of the mechanic I was proposing, of tying the "spell seeds" (keywords) to stats. I didn't mean I thought Sorcerers casting with Charisma used their "charm". I'm ok with "force of personality" used to cast magic, but that's what...

    Sorcerer: the only class I'm worried about (and how I'd make it)

    Well yes, I also think this wouldn't be a unifying concept. Although the class has been around for the latest two editions only and it already changed once quite a bit, so I could see another change especially since we all agree it needs focus. Yes, focusing on the lingering effects could be a...

    Sorcerer: the only class I'm worried about (and how I'd make it)

    The sorcerer. I define it as the most neglected class in D&D. Maybe because it was born only as a variant mechanic on the Wizard, and because when it got separate spells (powers) in 4e, the edition design philosophy was still that of not differentiating classes at deep levels. But the result is...

    I have Heroes of Shadows

    Also, you may want to take a look at my Shade Blackguard idea, I've made a blog about it on Wizard's community. It's inspired by this: ... :devil:

    I have Heroes of Shadows

    And especially for a border-line evil class such as Blackguard! :devil:

    I can finally build my Blackguard, thanks A LOT!! :cool:

    I have Heroes of Shadows

    Whoa, that was quick, thanks! I feel stupid though, it had already been previewed mostly! Strangely enough, second level is the most problematic... It's actually not swappable? I mean, it doesn't specify 2nd level in the power entry? And can you actually stat the bonuses? Thanks again!

    I have Heroes of Shadows

    Blackguard till 4th level? First of all, many many thanks to the lucky ones with the book for their patience in answering all the questions! I've never get past a n00b status here on EN World, so I don't know how to give xp or comment single posts, but... Yeah. My question might as well have a...

    Answering Questions about Draconomicon: Metallic Dragons (was: Primal Power Preview)

    Hey there! I was asking on the facebook page, but I'll duplicate the questions here just in case. Here they are: - What's the breath weapon and environment of the new Bronze? - Same things but about Brass? - Is the Cobalt really so similar in body and general looks to the Blue as it appeared...

    DMG2 blurb on Amazon. Attention Planescape fans!

    Don't remember a single thing about Union, never read the details. But I'm a bit pissed about Sigil: they already detailed it in the Manual of the Planes, why again? I would rather have two locations, one in Feywild and one in Shadowfell, or maybe some Astral Dominion. Speaking of them, another...

    D&D 4E New Take on the 4E Druid...

    I think that what 4e is doing, or better WILL do with PhB 2, is splitting the druid class into two or three classes. I personally think it could be split into even four classes, one of them being the most hybrid. The other classes would have to be in my opinion the Shaman taking the leader role...

    Necron - a grim undead-like living construct

    Wouldn't it be more interesting if we stayed on topic, realize I tried to find a solution to this some posts ago, and discuss about that solution? :p They gain a surge because, rolling a 20 on a death saving throw allows a character to spend a healing surge if he/she has one left. And I wanted...

    4th Edition Bard

    Wow, this class is fantastic, I hope I will be able to take some design lessons from here and there. My only critiques, that I've seen are issues you're already considering, are these: Rapiers are the best light blades: every character pursuing the use of light blades should expend a feat to...

    Necron - a grim undead-like living construct

    Thank you! I corrected the wording to make it similar to the dragonborn one, and the one you suggested. I'd now request some feedback on the last two feats I suggested, I'll put them here again... The general idea is that when necrotic energy flows sufficiently near and sufficiently...

    Necron - a grim undead-like living construct

    Thank you! I tried many times to find a wording that could replace the power, but I found it was even more awkward to give a per encounter effect with a feat. I'm basically trying to represent the fact that these beings don't have necrotic energy resistance (it would make them too powerful...

    Necron - a grim undead-like living construct

    I guess the majority of you know about the Necrons from Warhammer 40k. I always thought they fitted some fantasy settings, I hope they'll fit for some of you (they actually don't fit in my current setting, but I couldn't help creating the race...). NECRON Ancient spirits tied to bodies of...

    Not liking multiclass rules

    I don't know why everyone keeps referring to the inability to enter Ranger paragon paths. IMO it's pretty possible to "assume" that you chose a style, especially because of the powers chosen with swap feats. THE REAL INABILITY, is the one to enter WARLOCK paragon paths: they all mechanically...

    Is the wizard more druidic than the cleric?

    My other options for druid conversion are: Fey pact Warlock with Warlord training, Combat Veteran paragon path Fey pact Warlock with Cleric training, Divine Oracle paragon path Protecting Paladin with Wizard training (heavy power swapping), Spellstorm Mage paragon path A Paladin with the...

    Sample Character request: Warrior/Mage

    What bothered me is that the pact blade doesn't benefit from proficiency bonuses. I thought it was clearly made to hamper eventual rogue/warlock uber dagger masters... Which was something I wanted to do.
