I'm happy with the class-archetypes and monster-archetypes because of the underlying reason, they are lumped into groups because they are intended to do similar things. A hobgoblin archer, a poison-spitting plant and a lightning-hurling cyclops are all classed as 'artillery' because that's what...

Unfortunately, this is a sticking point. Even though you are doing 'cold' damage, you aren't using a power with the 'cold' keyword. It looks like there will be weapon/cold attacks to use later on (from the swordmage i think) that would be suitable for this, either for better swordmagery or as...

Literally, no. Effectively, yes. I've voted for 'yes - unaligned only' but I'll be allowing any alignment, however i don't expect any G/LG/E/CE alignments to last. <tries to explain how i feel about the alignments> <fails> <tries again to explain> <fails> Okay, third try: I feel that...

I'm reading the power as clearly requiring the warlord to be in melee with the target enemy. The flavour text doesn't match up with the power for me, so i'm changing the standard flavour text (players can ofc update this based on their style) to suggest that the warlord uses a feint to distract...

sheer class. standard inclusion rhetoric :) I shall have to look up more of Lore's works

It's a 'light blade' because it's light-weight and .. bladed. same as a thrown dagger

both Piercing Strike or Riposte Strike require a MELEE weapon, so you certainly can't throw the shuriken as part of one of these moves. <looks up weapons> and you can't make a melee strike with a shuriken. 'light throwing' means you can throw the weapon, and you use dex to hit and damage on...

I was DMing. The human fighter fell in the fire. Twice! he climbed over and fell in at the start, then crawled out (I ad-libbed a rule for movement while prone which turned out to be comparable with the 'crawling' movement action) and got around the corner. He then got a healing word for...

I DMed for shadowhaunt (once). the white dragon (once) and played in a white dragon game (once). Much fun was had by all. No detractors or complaints about the system, alot of people really got into it and enjoyed it. My group had some problems with the riddle, although they got the son/sire...

I'm DMing this for a local store on saturday in england. looking forward to it :) I recognised enough of the elements of the riddle to work out two possible patterns from the description, I knew the first clue already and I wanted to kick myself for not spotting the second one. An important...

thanks for this, it's an interesting tool for working out seeds. I tried a few out and got some nice results (like riders and mounts), some silly results (2 minions... and a riding horse). Before righting this, I requested a normal lvl 30 challange and rolled it once: Qty Name Type Exp 1...

<twitch> <twitch> I know this is satire...but still! <goes to lie down in a dark room> I'm pro-pointbuy and other systems that encourage character-power-parity (I do like the 'roll 21d6 once for the party, players assign dice in groups of 3' method). This is mostly due to a desire for...

reliable vs multi-target powers. I'm pretty sure it's only retained if it misses ALL targets (although i don't have my books on me). You don't have to use it when you are completely surrounded after all. Stalwart Guard This should be an 'aura' not a 'burst' or 'zone'* by my reckoning, as...

single-player/multi-player group-based CRPG/tactics game (Baldur's Gate/Neverwinter Nights style) with realtime and turn-based options. needs a good toolkit for making custom modules and ideally, a more open standard campaign (like Oblivion). I know that making an open campaign is harder than...
