Looks interesting! I always liked the idea of extra quirks and perks for your character, really helps you define your PC! Having said that, I do have a few suggestions: 1) I think a talent should be something you gain on more of a plot specific progression rather than being dependent on...

Make that once per round to avoid party-wide-temp-HP-bonanza by using an area necrotic spell against a group of enemies (Grasp of the Grave, anyone?). And maybe excluding automatic damage. Otherwise, sweet. :p

Yeah, that could work! Probably works even better like that although theres still potential issues with multi-classing and hybrids, but hey - when isn't there one? One thing I forgot to mention is that I'm not too keen on the name in relation to the function of the feature. How about keeping...

I'm not sure about the power either - its less versatile than Dilettante and far more situational than the human bonus at-will. I have a suggestion, but it might be over the top: Warforged Memory: After a short or extended rest, you can substitute one of your classes 1st-level at-will attack...

Area burst 2 is way too generous, and slide 3 is a tad too much. I like the slow on ray of frost being an effect though. Maybe by keeping the hit line as is and adding:Effect: The target is slowed until the end of your next turn. If the target is already slowed by this power it is instead...

My suggestion would be to ditch Perception all together, and to use a good old ability check (WIS or INT maybe?) when trying to find/spot something in an unfamiliar environment. Technically, it is as if the character was not trained in Perception. This makes it possible to keep the DC at the...

Reading this thread, I suddenly had an epiphany of sorts: What if there was no specific Perception skill, or at least not in the sense we know it now? What if, and bear with me on this one, your awareness of your surroundings and the task at hand are based on a skill applicable to the...

I just had an idea regarding Fireball while I was sitting on the toilet (sorry, no fart jokes this time...or wait?). What if Fireball had an effect line like this (or something similar):Effect: The target must choose to be knocked prone or be the subject of a secondary attack. Secondary attack...

Not sure if this was mentioned, but one of newbiedms twitpics suggest that hybrid class features such as combat challenge and sneak attack are going to be usable on basic attacks in the upcoming errata. Which I already houseruled them to be, so this just confirms the intent. Though I wonder if...

I just realized I won't have that much time to prepare for the game I'm running this Saturday and since it's supposedly the final fight/encounter of the adventure, I thought I'd give a shout out here on the forum for some assistance in building a truly magnificent finale for my players! The...

It is broken in the sense that it obsoletes certain feats, items etc. which allow you to do just that. And it is, IMHO, possibly even more boring than allowing you to wield a one-handed weapon in your off-hand. Basically, it needs some flavour. Maybe curry. ... I have to sleep now. :yawn:

I had some thoughts on this matter earlier this spring. Had completely forgotten about it 'til now, actually. :p Well, what the hey, maybe it'll spark some discussion. Here's a link: http://www.enworld.org/forum/4e-fan-creations-house-rules/274022-level-instead-level-attacks-defenses.html

Honestly, should the only redeeming quality of a nigh-useless class feature be that it is the requirement for a great albeit singular paragon path? That's built-in mechanical railroading if there ever was any. To the point, by changing the weapon style choice one might also need to change...

Well, it's sort of the other half of the story - Hunters "gain a +4 bonus to AC against opportunity attacks you provoke by making a ranged attack" so that they can easily skirmish and mix melee and ranged attacks, while my proposed archer "gain a +4 bonus to AC against opportunity attacks you...

I tried to come up with something similar a while back, but nothing really felt right. Anyway, here's something I just thought of:Archer Fighting Style You gain the feat Far Shot as a bonus feat. In addition, you ignore cover from creatures and gain a +4 bonus to AC against opportunity attacks...

I'm finding this feat rather lackluster; therefore, I'd like to change it to this: and make the following rules changes: - Mounts only grant their special ability to a rider of its level or higher (regardless if the rider has the Mounted Combat feat). - Mounts take a -2 penalty to attack rolls...

Ok, the title says it all really: I'm planning a one-shot adventure this saturday (17.7.2010) for a couple of old friends who actually taught me D&D 3E in the first place. None of them have any experience of 4E play whatsoever, and only one of them is vaguely familiar with the rules (although...

Thanks for the feedback, guys! It was actually the Trip power that got me wanting a second opinon. I mirrored the dire wolf's combat advantage feature ("The dire wolf gains combat advantage against a target that has one or more of the dire wolf’s allies adjacent to it. If the dire wolf has...

Ok, long version: My group is restarting a campaign after a 7 month long pause. A lot of things have happened since then (new material, rules updates etc.) and I feel it's more tha fair of me to allow them a free rebuild of their PC's based on their concepts. A couple of the player's were...
