It might also be a good opportunity to put some fairytale weaknesses into the mix as well, such as making it so that throwing water on a transmuted person would revert them to normal.

But can you slide a target back and forth and count as entering again? As a DM, I wouldn't allow that. I'm not sure what the RAW says on the subject though.

On the subject of making PCs less dependant on equipment in the first place, one solution is to give the PCs inherant + bonuses equivelent to what they "should" be getting at that level. On the other hand, you don't want equipment to be never given out. So what this suggestion includes is the...

On that note, it might work to make it two seperate spells that only take up one spell slot together, and can both be cast on the same round-- But still treat them like seperate spells when cast.

Here's a tangent for you. In some studies recently, I came across the term Rephaim, which could be: A) A race of giants B) A synonym for Nephilim C) A type of ghost residing in the land of the dead Now, individually, none of those definitions are anything particularly interesting as far as...

You could do this, although limiting it in this way is somewhat arbitrary. War could as easily be about controlling, or about striking, or about leading. Fire can likewise be used to control (wall of fire) or heal (hearth) or strike (fireball). That's not to say that it's a bad idea to make...

Hey, U_K, just wondering-- have you checked out the PHB2 yet? It's got 6 new epic destinies, 15 new general epic feats, and of course new epic powers for all the new classes. In particular, I think a couple of the new epic destinies MIGHT be able to compete with Demigod, which was -by far- the...

Artifact resonance then? The PARTICULAR pantheon you're up against in the module you're working with just so happens to be cheating, in that they've inherited some nice artifacts from antediluvian times... I mean, Naamah is said to have carried such things with her.

Perhaps you can weight populations based on different factors, such as total population of the world? Assume that each worshiper is devoting a piece of the world's soul to the deity in question? Alternatively, you could offset the difference between worshipers and the power of the pantheon by...

Wait... levels 51-60 are the Old Ones, aren't they? The things that are more powerful than the standard greek/roman/etc pantheons? It seems to me that mythology is filled to overflowing with beings and monsters of that level, since myths are so fond of telling us about things that "even the gods...

Forgot to comment on this earlier... I have faith in your ability to make these cool little things even cooler. Give them some more sparkle! If every deity is a solo, then I could see making the elemental elite, but I'm also thinking of PCs here, who are elite themselves. I would prefer...

Well, we'd have to have an understanding of what Time Lords... do. I mean, besides exist. If all they do is exist in their 8th dimensional space, there's not much reason to be there, and presumably, there could be threats within universes that would force them in. In this respect, you could...

Here's another conversion attempt. The Medium Quintessence Elemental. I figured if Alabaster is going to reference it with his Godsend sword, I should probably have something available. The biggest trouble I see with it is that as per the 3e IH, the Quintessence Elemental is of a...

I'm posting this here because I thought I'd get an idea of how you guys think this creature is balanced, considering that it is in fact a level 39 solo. Please make comparisons with other similarly high level beings, as well as consider how difficult he'd be to a party of sufficiently high...

U_K, can I highly recommend getting some playtesters, not just for the monsters, but more particularly for the larger size rules? This is very important to me, because I -love- the idea of fighting really huge things, and since 4e is focused on the actual gameplay, I want to be certain the...

Could always keep it as six, but remove the "only one sword per round can use an action point" qualifier. Remember, at bloodied, he refills his action points. For the monster write-up, I'd put it as simply +1d8 per level over 30, and then be more specific in the artifact description itself...

Yeah, this is straight from Tiamat's rules. It might make the bookkeeping tricky, true. Can nix that. I wasn't sure how the DR rules were going to work (in terms of how many DR a deity will have by which level) so I'll bow to you on this, easily. It does. That is in fact the only text for the...

So I've attempted to convert an old friend to 4e. I used the level conversion guide and the expanded damage table, and then looked to Tiamat for guidance. I made all 6 swords everdancing because I thought the image would be cool, and I reduced Alabaster's speed based on how Tiamat's speed was...

Well, supposedly, level 1 in 4e roughly corresponds to level 3 in 3e, while level 20 in 3e converts to level 30 in 4e. But only sometimes, and this is a rough guide.

That's a neat idea. I've found that there's a certain type of player that enjoys forgoing power now in order to gain greater power later. Think people who played wizards in 2e, for instance. The trick would be to ensure that the player actually GOT greater power later. Do you have anything...
