    4th Edition and the Immortals Handbook

    Bonjour, mon ami (sorry, my french is a bit rusty. ;) ) Well, I agree with/like the ideas in most of your post, so I'll just focus on the daemon thing, which I'm still not sure about. I can certainly see the disease/wasting thing being connected to the Shadowfell (though I'll admit I could just...

    Ashen Covenant - DDI Orcus Cult Article

    Yes, the new exarch is listed as an Elite in his stat block, but a solo in his encounter set up, and the math works out closer to him being solo in the encounter's XP budget. Coupla errors in this one, numbers-wise. Also, is the Wraithblade supposed to be one +1 less than other weapons of it's...

    4th Edition and the Immortals Handbook

    Hiya, Krusty! Well, that's what I've used before for carrying capacity, so no complaints on this end. The problem with connecting slaad with the far realm is that they've already been established as elemental creatures. That's not set in stone, obviously, but on the whole I think it would be...

    4th Edition and the Immortals Handbook

    Yeah, the sizes are a bit off, but as you said, it's not really important this time around. I agree about the carrying capacity thing. As for the slaad, I don't know. Previously they didn't have much going for them, with the spawning stone being the only remotely interesting aspect of their...

    Which Mythologies/Pantheons do you want?

    Heh, now I feel like a shmuck. I'd always learned that the Middle-East went as far east as Iraq (not counting the peninsula), and that Iran was something else entirely. Go figure. Sorry if I sounded rude. Although, I would hardly call Quirinus minor. He was a member of the Capitoline Triad, was...

    Which Mythologies/Pantheons do you want?

    Thing is, the Greek and Roman gods aren't just the same figures renamed. The Romans just associated their deitys with the Greek ones to lend themselves credibility. Mars has a very different personality than Ares, notably lacking the cowardice and bloodlust of the latter, being a model roman...

    Which Mythologies/Pantheons do you want?

    I voted for the particularly obscure ones you have listed (Canaanite, Amerindian, Oceanic, etc.), largely because I feel your talents would be better spent in that area. Once they get your system down, almost anyone could make a servicable Greek/Norse/Egyptian pantheon, considering how well...

    UBER Dragonborn Fighter or Paladin Defender...we can build him!

    Just at a glance, Family, I see 2 problems with your build. 1) Dragonborn get a Charisma bonus, not a Constitution bonus. 2) Fighters start with scale proficiency, not plate proficiency. I can't go over it in detail, but I thought I should mention it.

    Amazon shipped my books

    Hey Gundark, is it just your order that's shipping, or are our orders on the way too?

    Challenging Challenge Ratings...again

    Ummm, dante, you do realise that Gary had just as much dislike of editions 2 aned 3 as he did 4, right? He simply refused to acknowledge the legitimacy of any edition he didn't have a part in making. As for any rule for any situation, I think you're sorely overestimating 3E with that. If you...

    D&D 4E Inside 4e D&D

    I've been following these guys for about a year now, and they've done some absolutely amazing stuff. I can't say that this is their best work, though. Their previous D&D-related sketch was better. Here we go. http://loadingreadyrun.com/videos/view/191/dfer_madness

    D&D 4E (Poll for those buying 4ed only!) How old are you?

    I'm 20, so I seem well below the forum average. Began with 2E in 2001 (don't ask), and can't wait for amazon to get me my stuff. I NEED MY STUFF!!!

    So after reading the classes in full what do people think?

    Aren't those Jensaarai, not Jedi?

    What do you make and what do you do?

    Around 10 grand per year, in a dead-end job with no future prospects. Damn I suck. And yet I'm still able to spend about 3 and a half grand on random crap. Huh.

    AC and description

    No, armor doesn't add onto defense, it's calculated separately. There are some instances where Reflex would be higher than AC (a naked rogue, or one with a highly magical amulet but significantly less magical suit of armor), but the times that will happen seem to be rather rare.

    4th Edition and the Immortals Handbook

    Yes, I saw that in the base 4E rules, and wasn't enamored with it their either. But your idea fits the norm, so I won't press the issue ;) I see your point with this, but I was specifically referring to NPC statblocks. I don't want to see them all used in the same battle, but I think that some...

    4th Edition and the Immortals Handbook

    Well, yes, more or less. And it's both parts that I have a strong disagreement with. Immortals should certainly be more powerful, but an increased versatility further contributes to the fungibility between characters, a situation that (in my experience) has never lead to anything other than a...

    Character Sheet Released

    I'm guessing NPCs will just use the "Monster" creation system.
