    So I have the Martial Powers book.

    I was hoping to know if there were any more INT-based feats for the martial classes. If this has already been asked and answered, I apologize and would appreciate a redirect.

    New Power Attack: Self imposed Conditions

    I was thinking of making it a save ends condition so that it's more of a gamble. It might go away at the end of your turn or it might be there for a few rounds. That would also be an interesting combination when partying with a character that grants lots of saving throws (such as a cleric or...

    D&D 4E Obligatory dump stats in 4e: the irrelevance of Intelligence

    I spent a LONG time last night going through all 9 pages of posts in this thread. It is a genuinely interesting topic. What I've gleaned from all the back and forth and extracted is a list of all the suggested solutions to this "problem": 1) Use the higher of DEX/INT for initiative 2) Confer...

    Hellfire Warlock Paragon Path

    If you want a power to increase in size each time you sustain it (which is awesome), you'd probably have to cap it off somehow - such as by saying this increase can only occur a number of times equal to some modifier.

    Another take on the Necromancer class

    I would second the shadow power source comment. But firstly, I like it! One thing I had in mind, though, was a change to "Manipulate Life". It seems a bit out of place in comparison to the other class feature healing actions: Healing Word - an ally spends a healing surge and regains hit points...

    D&D 4E 4e Without Magic Items?

    Weapon-based powers gain attack roll bonuses from proficiency, but Implement-based powers do not. To compensate this, implement-based powers gain attack and damage roll bonuses from magic enhancement. Removing magic items from the game would upset this balance. Thus, any system you institute for...

    D&D 4E My Idea on Making 4E Combat 'Grittier/More Realistic'

    You should underline or boldface the actual idea so that people who want to skip all the foreplay can do so easily. That said, I like the idea. My main concern would be that it adds power to monster criticals, while making no difference to PC criticals. Maybe this doesn't matter. I need to think...

    Designing a Social Power Source

    Interesting idea, but how would this apply to enemies like animals or monsters that don't really engage in socialization? How can you assault a crocodile's reputation or confidence?

    What do you think a martial controller would look like?

    Word of Mearls: Official Player races will not get Oversized Weapons. Forked Thread

    This makes sense to me. Just like how they compensate the halfling size restraint on two-handed weapons... only opposite-like.

    Khopesh: HBO plus Deadly Axe

    I recently designed a character based around opportunity attacks (HBO and the like) and was very excited about how it looked on paper. In playing him, however, I was disappointed that OA's rarely cropped up. I'm looking into ways to force an OA, but haven't found too many (aside from combining...

    Elven Accuracy

    Great unless you turn it into a critical. :erm:

    Balance in 4th: All Powers for All Classes All the Time?

    I currently run a PbP homebrew game in which players get access to powers from all the classes. Instead of leveling up a single class, they can earn ranks in each class, which determines what powers are available to them. The formula is Power level = ((Rank)*3)+1. So at rank 0/1/2/3, they can...
