    Hit Points--A study of humanoids.

    You're not being a jerk at all! I appreciate evryone's opinion. :) However, the idea actually doesn't fit in. The Deathblow draining all a defender's remaining HP to 0 actually expresses a massive amount of damage they just took. Again, pure measurement of damage taken. The intangible aspect...

    Another Airship Encounter

    This thread is very creative! We don't have airships in my game, so I don't think I can really add anything except to say airships get me thinking of Final Fantasy (and that's always a good thing!) Specifically: Remember in FFIII (FFII U.S.) where at the beginning Cecil is with the Red Wings...

    And I appreciate your input. :)

    Hit Points--A study of humanoids.

    Actually, I've chosen to interpret an aspect of the game differently than others. Sorry if you don't care for that. Also, that little rant was something of a cheap shot (to say I don't understand b/c I happen to disagree). Fair enough. Harsh. Thanks for demeaning what I consider to be a...

    Hit Points--A study of humanoids.

    Whatever this is supposed to mean, it sure doesn't sound like anything I've ever intended/intimated/insinuated on this topic.... And I do interpret them differently (as pure damage measurements). I looked at altering HP on monsters for entirely different reasons (which I have stressed over...

    Need Help with Custom Class

    Hello New(b)! First, it is pretty obvious that this class is a model of imbalance as you presented it. It's um, pretty bad. But! Having posted a couple homebrew classes on these forums, I want to say firstly, I applaud your effort to make a new classes (or classes, if you have more); in 4ed...

    What single houserule has made your game AWESOME?

    Deathblow! http://www.enworld.org/forum/4e-fan-creations-house-rules/272581-optional-rule-deathblow.html (page 3 has the *revised* write-up; shameless self-promotion don't fail me now!)

    What did you do with your playable Goblin race?

    Entirely opinion here, but that's an easy call. Goblins over kobolds.

    Let's have a quickie! The 50g Houserule.

    re:Encrumberance: Common sense "hand-waving" for us. re:Tracking the mundane: We do, but it's all easily acquired/obtained (within reason). So maybe you bought the rope and hook, or scavenged it from somewhere, or someone abandoned it, or it was part of a treasure hoard you found--but chances...

    Optional rule: The DEATHBLOW!

    I see what your saying, but there is a certain amount of fortune involved here. IRL analogy: A single-shot from a .22 calibre pistol (low damage) can kill a man. A single-shot from a 12gauge shotgun (high damage) can, also. Either one can also fail to kill someone. If you see what I mean. In...

    Let's have a quickie! The 50g Houserule.

    More great comments. Anyways, I am going with the -25g reduction (plus my "heirloom" perk, and easily acquired supplemental gear from the first scenario).

    Let's have a quickie! The 50g Houserule.

    I have gotten some great feedback and have made a decision. The amount of starting gold will *still* be lowered. However, 50g is far too drastic. I see this now very clearly. Also, I don't prefer a system where each class has a different starting gold value (considered). So I am going to...

    Let's have a quickie! The 50g Houserule.

    Not really. In my games the PCs acquire such things as are included in that kit very quickly early in their first game. If they don't have anything, they will get it. In one example, a ruined marketplace the PCs found themselves in their were all sorts of "salvageables" of the mundane type. I...

    Let's have a quickie! The 50g Houserule.

    Have PDFs of the game, know it well and played it like once. And that once was terrible--I caught a disease and almost died! *sadness* :.-( That game is *hard* lol. Actually, I rolled twice on the random profession charts but got two really bad results (imho) so our GM just gave up on me and...

    No, thank you! I'm honored that you see enough potential to bother. Can't wait to see what you come up with. :D

    Hit Points--A study of humanoids.

    You're tone is pretty hostile. This is a dead issue rlly. I see where others are coming from, but I won't keep beating a dead horse. I've explained my viewpoint (which perhaps you still dont get--I never said 100hp or even 50hp were unreasonable, thnx for saying that for me) and that's that...

    DIABOLIST (Glyph/Rune/Circle Arcane)

    Thanks for taking the time to really look at the class. Of the one's I've been working on, I think this has the potential to be the strongest. One thing is I've only had 4ed like a month, and at this point I can conceptualize a class better than mechanically implement it, so I am happy to get...
