    Fun With Rituals!

    Like the idea, don't like the name though. The "Power" word already means something else in the game. At the very least, if you can't find a better synonym, "empowered ritual".

    D&D 4E Towards Ravenloft 4E: Fear, Horror and Madness

    I really don't think there's a need to design new attacks for those effects. It's really only a matter of interpretation. There is already some fear/madness/horror attacks out there in the MM. I don't even mention the Death's visage attack of the Banshee or the death burst of the Chilling...

    D&D 4E Secret Doors in 4E

    Again, they contradict themselves. PHB p.186 under perception Failure: You can’t try again unless circumstances change. Searching: When actively searching an area or looking for something specific, assume you’re searching each adjacent square. So, you could only make one roll per 9 squares...

    Boons, flaws and traits.

    Isn't it what I just said? :hmm:

    Boons, flaws and traits.

    Hum, you're right. Munchkin players would want to pick up something that they will encounter most of the time. In the other way, the DM should always approve or deny one's choice. DM have to keep in mind : flavor. If someone in the group take something like : combat addicted in intent to have a...

    Boons, flaws and traits.

    Huum, as I remember, White Wolf (World of Darkness) had a really nice Flaw/Merit system. Maybe you'll want to check that out to inspire you. That said, as other have said, it's very important you keep in mind that players will want to take the less penalty for the best bonus. So, you'll want to...

    Stalker0's Obsidian Skill Challenge System (NEW VERSION: 1.2!!!)

    This is by far the best Skill Challenge alternative system ! I'll use this from now on, with some tweaks, mostly on player's options (I'll use only bold recovery, critical succes). I was wondering about something. I'm not sure if I like having to set a primary skill for the challenge (I better...

    D&D 4E Secret Doors in 4E

    It's fine to allow "take 20" in this particular case, but don't forget that RAW, you can't neither "take 20" or retry on a missed perception check.

    Icy rays

    the spell state Target : 1 or 2 creatures but on the attack line it says : one attack per target So... can you target the same creature twice with both the rays (since it says 1 or 2 creatures) ?

    Ongoing damage and auras: do they stack?

    Oh! I misunderstood all this! Forget it then :P

    Ongoing damage and auras: do they stack?

    You guys are sure those damage stack ? I mean, this part of the rule isn't clear anyway, but my common sense tells me it's way overpowered to add each aura damage ! Let say you're surrounded by 4 of these creatures... you'll take 40 dmg at the start of EACH of your turn (no save since it's not...

    Bright Light / Dim Light

    In real life, a light source like a torch, a campfire or a lantern really ends abruptly. All the radius in the light is normally "bright light" and all that is outside the radius is really dark. In fact, the darkness is even more...well... dark when you're standing inside a light zone. So, the...

    Dwarven Weapon Training and Superior Weapons

    Think of it this way : If your DM wants to give your character a new magic weapon (don't forget, on the treasure parcel, magic items are of higher lvl than you are, so it's objects that a party can't craft with the Enchant magic item ritual), he'll pick one that you can handle (if not, it's not...

    Pace of level advancement in 4th edition D&D

    Xp also went out the window in my 4E games. We just house ruled the characters get a level every two sessions (4 hour sessions). It speeds up the pace a bit so we can enjoy every levels of play and it won't take like 5 years to get to 30th lvl. It's also easier to keep track. In fact, I don't...

    Most overpowered / underpowered ?

    So, it's been a time 4th is out, we had plenty of time to try most classes. Now, what class do you feel is been overpowered, wich one is underpowered? And mostly, why do you feel this way? For my part. Overpowered : Rogue. There's one in the party since about 5 sessions and we all feel at...

    Resist poison and secondary effects

    Well then that brings another question : is someone immuned to poison damage would be slowed ? By RAW, YES! Here's why I found it a bit wierd.

    oops, sorry, without a search tool, this is what happens ! :-S

    Bigby's icy grasp (*delete me*)

    I think the wording on this spell is a bit wierd. Could you, each round, make a new attack roll against the same creature to do another 2d8 damage? The spell state : as a standard action you can attack ANOTHER target. Does that mean that if, as a free action, you release the curret target...
