So, I took appemts at 1-st level gnoll with this concept. Here's the result (please, help me to estimate the balance): At-wills (what does he do for life?) Ferocious Strike (reflavored fighter's Reaping Strike) Mad Bite: non-weapon, Str vs. AC, provokes AoO, 2d6+Str dmg. I asked myself: why...

Well, the RPG community in my city is tiny, and I'm moving soon anyway. And they actually like mindless repeative grindspace. It's good that I don't judge 4E by my experience with them :\ So, it's mostly theoretic. Although to say he truth, if fail to do something with class powers (or to find...

Wow! That's such an elegant, natural idea! You've solved one of major problems. Thanks.

Not good... Best decision I thought of is to write the character from scratch, custom powers and all, but it's not good idea because: I can't figure out the game balance, such as which ability is balanced at which level and what bonuses are appropriate. So, I have to grab a bunch of existing...

Thank you. I've been lurking in that thread, but didn't read all of it. I'll take a closer look %)

(Sorry, accidental doublepost.)

Comparison to 3E isn't a point here. There was a good explanation somewhere in other thread that "if ability is an action first, effect second, it's a door open for creativity; but when it's effect first, flavor second, you can't do much with the pre-gened effect". Think M:tG cards: you can get...

To cut it short, I want to play D&D4 and enjoy it like others do. I think I got the style, but there's one thing that repulses me each time I look at it: class powers. The concept is ok, but the powers themselves strike me boring. My eyelids grow heavy, I start yawning and stuff %) I know the...

Actually, I can't help but to build subconsciously a simple ruleset from it, too. Ideas do this to people. And if the idea comes to several people simultaneously, it must be a good one %)

Looks like a cross between FUDGE and Universalis (I love both). This SRD is hard to read, though... Thanks for a tip, I should read it anyway %)

Here's an illustration of the feel I was expecting from 4E (except for I expected fluff to stay and, of course, no edition of D&D can/should be rules-light; discuss the game idea here):

As a recent thread reminded me, before it was released I imagined D&D4 as a system with distinct interaction (a role) for every DM entity (NPCs, monsters and stuff). So, I decided to visualize the idea (but rules-light, unlike D&D): My question: is there a system like that?

Err, English is not my native language :\ Did my reply sound offensive? Sorry, if so -_- I didn't mean to.

Oh, a thread that I can contribute to. I like 3.x much with its immense amount of official and third-party supplement, and its non-combat crunch. I never played AD&D, though, but now that I have read some of its supplement I value its wast flavor (for example, the MM description of sphinxes...

I wouldn't call the self-sufficiency of a statblock "an unfortunate side-effect" O_o It's a good thing.

No, I can't do this quick enough... The goal is too different: in 3.5, visual reformatting clarifies implementation of a monster in and out of combat. In 4E, combat implementation is quite clear (at most, abilities can use descriptions in plain English, such as "Aura of Winter: violent snowfall...

Wait, I think I can redesign it for 4E very quickly... At least worth trying.

I couldn't create what you see without others' opinions and honest criticism. They make me see what I missed or didn't think of. So, you're helping me, actually %) your reply is one more vote for "three pages" variant (overview/usage, story/cultural and combat cards). Thanks.

Hey, thanks for kind replies %) It's nice to know that the result of your work has hit the spot.

Hi. Life's been good, and so I finished the white dragon illustration much later than I planned. This is a fourth attempt of creating a visual monster layout (see previous works in dedicated gallery). I intentionally took a hard task of fitting a true dragon on one sheet, but managed to fit...
