    Milestones: XP Chain

    I don't think bonus xp would help. If the players feel that they can't safely go on with another encounter, then they should always stop to rest if possible. Getting bonus xp for taking greater risk is pointless when you don't have a deadline. The encounters they don't take on during day one...

    WotBS WOTBS Gee Whiz Question

    I think you can make them up yourself. The campaign was designed to be able to work in any world, so adding too much detail was probably unnecessary. Here are some suggestions: Ragesia: a rampant dragon wielding a torch. Dassen: a book surrounded by 9 (or is it seven?) mountains, one for each...

    Stalker0's Acheron Power Recharge System (New Version 1.1!!)

    Looks like a bunch of solid rules, as usual. I don't like the random element though. I would be pretty irritated if I had saved up points all day long to use in the big final fight of the dungeon only to see them all wasted due to a bad roll. It seems to me like making attack rolls is enough...

    Thirst, suffocation and hunger errata : why ???

    The new DCs are actually easier than the old ones. In the old system, after three weeks without food you would be facing DC 52 checks to survive. Since the book states that people can survive for roughly three weeks without food, the old rules were inconsistent with the description of the...

    Alternate Hydra

    It's a great idea but there's a problem with using minions for the heads. The minion heads will get killed off pretty fast by area attacks, and that doesn't seem thematically appropriate (unless a weapon is involved). Perhaps you can solve it by making the minion heads immune to attacks that...

    Hybrid Feats

    Well, you don't need a Human Blood feat. Just tell the player to make a human and pick the appropriate feat for the other race.

    Sleeping in armor

    How about making the Endurance skill more useful? Sleeping in heavy armor: DC 15 Endurance check. Failure means that you lose a healing surge when you wake up. Another option could be to add another hour to the rest and require a new roll.

    The greatest of stars: Wizard

    So he's balanced with the other classes then. Great.

    How would you write Curse of the Bloody Fangs to make sense?

    An even easier fix is to remove the "(save ends)", which doesn't make sense.

    Cleric Feat for your review

    I don't think powers that are supposed to be used with Channel Divinity can be dailies, but I could be wrong. It would open up for more interesting god feats if it was true, that's for sure.

    Multiclass feats that switch stats used

    They should just add this option to the first multiclass feat for each class and remove the bonus skill. That would really set them apart from the Skill Training feat and people would perhaps stop complaining about how Skill Training is weak.

    New errata for core books, dated 7/2/2008

    You think this is a huge errata?

    New errata for core books, dated 7/2/2008

    I expect Stalker0 to come around and let us know how they messed up this time in less than 10 posts.

    Cleric Feat for your review

    Make it a minor action and reduce the bonus to +5, in my opinion. Oh, and make it "the next knowledge skill roll you make until the end of your next turn" or something like that, because otherwise you can make a roll for each skill with the same bonus and that might be a bit too much. Knowledge...

    Concept Feat: Divine Archer

    That's not necessary at all. I just don't like feats that remove options when you take them. I could have said that the powers become ranged and dexterity-dependent INSTEAD of melee and strength-dependent but then I realized that a paladin who goes for ranged weapons is not likely to have a lot...

    Opportunity Attacks??

    Well, Fighters would probably be affected the most since they don't have many ranged powers - I can't think of any at all. Fighters and other melee classes will start using reach weapons exclusively, as will all enemies that can use weapons. In 4E reach weapons don't extend your threatened space...

    Charging: moving directly

    That's good to know. Thanks.

    Opportunity Attacks??

    No, the rule has always (at least for the last edition) been that you provoke an attack when you leave a square they threaten. It wasn't. It would cause all kinds of problems. Probably not too much but it would make fights a lot slower and less interesting. Anyone with good ranged...

    Concept Feat: Divine Archer

    I thought about it but then I realized that any character that would want this feat would already fulfill any reasonable prerequisites I could imagine. You don't want to make a ranged paladin if you don't have a high dexterity, and I didn't want to require a bow since there are so many other...
