    How to make half-giants for 4th ed, as no ECL?

    I don't have any of my Dark Sun books with me at the moment, but off the top of my head I'd say somewhere between 10 and 12 feet.

    How to make half-giants for 4th ed, as no ECL?

    Just looked through the PHB, DMG, and MM last night before heading to sleep. That *is* a bit silly and counterintuitive, even within the framework of the 4e system. I found the rules for weapon damage increase in conjunction with size increase (but they feel extremely weak to me... a 1d8 going...

    4th Edition and the Immortals Handbook

    Stats like that make me a bit curious. I've only read through the 4e corebooks a bit, but is an 18 level difference in the system truly as significant as the leap from a "top"-end mortal to a greater diety, or will you be modifying the progression system fairly heavily to enact such a power gap...

    How to make half-giants for 4th ed, as no ECL?

    Eh, ok, I agree my kneejerk use of "whining" is hyperbole and uncalled for. I apologize. However, despite my faults in presentation, the absurdity of the attempts to balance a half-giant statwise with humans and the weaker demihumans by limiting the very stats that greatly distinguish them...

    How to make half-giants for 4th ed, as no ECL?

    I was quite happy with Silverblade's original stats before everyone started whining about how it didn't fit the bland 4e core (and I don't see why it should), sans the Unstoppable racial feat, which I'm not sure about. Regardless, "+2 str, +2 con" is absurd for a half-giant.

    How to make half-giants for 4th ed, as no ECL?

    I disagree with the absurd statements of just "+2 str, +2 con." It just provides more fuel for the many voices that complain about the lack of variety and flavor in 4e. The flavor of a campaign setting should always take precedence over "design goals" set by some game designer who isn't going...

    More Monsters -- Kobold Miners (and friends)

    I can't find the Kobold Miner's "You No Take Candle!" power... :p

    Smudges - All Core books

    They are most definitely not the same material--they smell completely different.

    Healing Potions seem woeful

    So, 10 hit points is an abstraction for being bit in half by the Tarrasque? Dang, these are some tough bastards we're playing. The pregen wizard alone can get bit in half nearly three times before going down. :)

    Monster Manual: I miss the fluff.

    I just hope the picture of the Invisible Stalker is as awesome as the pic in the 2nd edition Monster Manual.

    What's broken/overpowered? What's weak?

    Why not? Hell, I talked him into giving me his moustache a few years back. I will admit that was a mistake, as he looks really, really weird without it. Not as goofy as Commander Riker, though.

    Vancian Magic?

    Maybe. Can't say if there are many others that read up on the Old Testament Prophets.
