I'm tempted to allow this and see how long before a player figures out they could do this. :)

Honestly, in this world, there aren't a lot of PCs (or NPCs) that are able to enchant items at all. So, if they don't take the feat, then that's more in-line with the world. If they do, I will make it apparent where the 'known' Places of Power are and I will make sure they come across some on...

The reason I put together what I did is to put the chance to find something into the hands of the player, not me. If I use the "DM makes the decision if this place carries that" then I am either too easy when I tell them, "Sure your found it" or I'm the bad guy for denying it to them. This way...

I'm looking for player feedback on a few rules I'm including in a campaign I'll be starting to run within the week. I've already delivered these rules to the players in the campaign, but I'd like to get community feedback on these before we start. If there are any good points or fair...

Update... Ignore this - just fixed and updated the first one now.

Hi all. Attached to this post is a NPC personality and background generator I put together. I'm putting together a campaign that's starting in a week, and the last thing I had on my plate was bringing some of locations to life with some NPCs. I looked around for a while for NPC generators...

Thanks - I'll take a look at that. The idea of giving them a sheet of things to do was what I ended up with, too.

Shoot - put this in wrong thread... sorry. Trying to move it.

Okay, I'm a little confused on Skill Challenge mechanics and could use some guidance. I've put together a skill challenge for a campaign that I'm going to be running, but some of the mechanics of skill challenges confuse me as to how to let it play out. Skill Challenges in DMG1 are bland and...

Haven't used it yet, but this is something I put together to use after the party deals with an elite custom monster - a large Black Widow spider. During the encounter, track who is hit by the Black Widow’s bite attack. Let each one of them know that they are starting to feel weak and they are...

You know, I like the idea of 'if they try too much to find something, they may get ambushed on their way out town.' I'll have to keep that in mind when using this.

Got a question for the community. There's something I'm going to be doing for a campaign I'm preparing in a custom world, but there's two different ways to approach it. And since I'm preparing all of the material for the world, I'd like to figure out which way players would prefer this thing...

Apparently I've raised the ire of Raymond Feist himself and have been warned to not proceed with any additional publishing of information on this project. So.... that's all folks.

I went ahead and published the post I had prepared for backgrounds early to show what I implemented (Background points, benefits, race/class restrictions): World of Midkemia for D&D 4.0: Backgrounds

I'm confused by the last part. The backgrounds will not confer any ability bonuses, mostly just skill bonus, perhaps a weapon proficiency, using Dex as a base for hitpoints instead of Con, etc. I'm not sure how conferring abilities to a sub-race (Keshians, who are humans) is any less...

I see what you're saying To be honest, I've spent the bulk of my time getting the features and functions of the application working and not as much time on the details of race design (beyond making the choice). You make some good points regarding the Tsurani and I will revisit the race. One...

I'm in the process of building a character builder for use with D&D 4.0 but centered around the Raymond Feist's world of Midkemia (from books like Magician:Apprentice, Magician:Master, Silverthorn, and The Darkness at Sethanon). It's meant to be used side by side with the D&D Insider Character...
