    Weapon Balance - A Statistical Analysis

    It's your choice to wear a heavy shield instead of a light one. Since the two are balanced, the free hand to use a shield is worth the same if you use a light or a heavy shield.

    What impact would changing damage types have?

    IMO there is no unbalancement. If you choose to gain powers only of a certain element you gain a bonus if you take the feat, but when you'll face some creatures resistent to your type of damage you will be disadvantaged.

    Bugbears as PCs balanced??

    The bugbear has higher damage dices but it is a racial trait. Dwarves, for example, use their second wind as a minor action. It IS balanced because the bugbear has just Oversized and Predatory Eye, nothing else. Other races have more benefits.

    4th Edition DnD PC tools

    I also suggest you to use the other RPtools, even offline. We use MapTool offline, with the EEEPc of one of the players, and we go in the house of another player to use his pc with an huge screen. We start maptool on both pcs, and we connect. The DM uses the EEEPC, while the others look at the...

    Weapon Balance - A Statistical Analysis

    First of all, great spreadsheet. Second, to balance the greatsword and the glaive it would be enough to give them 0,5 extra damage. The glaive is easy, from 2d4 to 1d10, but the greatsword? 2d5? 1d4+1d6?

    Dragon PCs and Dragon monsters

    That is similar to what I was doing, the problem was to balance the solo monsters, but I have moved to another thread, that discussed of the same thing (after getting too angry for a little thing). Mods, please close this one. This is the thread I'm on now...

    Dragon PC's, or can solo or elite monster PC's be balanced

    I already apologised for what I did. This is what I have done so far. If you (plural) think that there's something broken, something to change, something bad, something whatever, please post it. The converted monsters are good to make dragons who fight against the PCs, but not to make PCs...

    Dragon PC's, or can solo or elite monster PC's be balanced

    Finally you have answered. Now that I know that you did it in good faith, I am not upset anymore. I'm sorry for calling you like that and for talking like that, I overreacted and I gave too much importance to a little thing. Now I'm in a hurry and I have to go, but tomorrow I'll put here what I...

    Dragon PC's, or can solo or elite monster PC's be balanced

    And HOW to take it offline? I do not have Ryan's email address or whatever, he has no email address on his profile, and I don't think he is going to notice if I leave a visitor message to him. Also, I am not talking in an incivile way (unlike Crosswind).

    Dragon PC's, or can solo or elite monster PC's be balanced

    Your laughing at me just proves that you are so wrong that you cannot even discuss without scoffing the person you're speaking to because you are to scared to show that your arguments are wrong. In fact, you seem to not have read my post at all except from the first lines. I refuse to discuss...

    Dragon PC's, or can solo or elite monster PC's be balanced

    It's not the arithmetic, that's so simple a children could do it. It's the idea to reverse it to use it on dragons to make PCs or mounts that's not so obvious. I do not claim to teach others simple math. And do not try to make a fool of me. This foolish way of writing just shows that you do not...

    Dragon PC's, or can solo or elite monster PC's be balanced

    You misunderstood. The idea I had was to reverse Keterys's guides. I slightly modified my previous post so nobody else misunderstands. It's obvious that everyone around here is trying to make dragon PCs or mountable dragons, i'm not claiming to have invented them.

    Dragon PC's, or can solo or elite monster PC's be balanced

    You stole my idea to reverse Keterys's guides. I'm not saying you cannot use it, but I feel really offended because you passed it off as yours. Here is the proof it was an idea of mine. The dates of the posts where I display my idea to use Keterys's guides reversed are precedent and very close...

    Insubstantial seems very, very boring

    Insubstantial creatures have less HP than other creatures, so there is no problem.

    Dragon PCs and Dragon monsters

    I've actually found a solution. The Dragon class and race are developed like standard PCs, at the heroic tier you are an adolescent dragon (Medium size), at the paragon tier you are a young/adult dragon (Large size) and at the epic tier you are an elder dragon (Huge size). When you reach your...

    Dragon PCs and Dragon monsters

    Yes, every PC is a dragon. Maybe I could change the dragons and some other powerful npc to be like normal monsters, while the others are like minions. But I would like to keep things balanced, if in the future I will want to have some players with dragon pcs and some others with standard races...

    Dragon PCs and Dragon monsters

    Here I am. I am about to run a campaign with dragons as player characters. The story is that a bunch of dragons (the PCs) are sent for mysterious reasons in the real world, in the age of the Crusades. As every dragon, they have to gather a huge treasure to buy their place in the dragon heaven...

    Sharing my house rules

    The blast/burst/close area attack thing is broken, because it means that if you cannot hit a weaker foe, you will not certainly hit a stronger one. I like the light blades one, but it unbalances the game because Strenght is not as useful as Dexterity anymore. Maybe with a feat like in 3.5...
