    How long does stuff last after death/collapse of an empire?

    It's a bit nit-picky, but this is far from the truth. Anatomically modern humans have been around for almost 200,000 years, and have been making objects the entire time, as did their ancestors. There's a hand-axe in the British Museum that's about 1 million years old. More recently, there are...

    Changing Warlock powers to Melee: Balanced?

    Geez, shows how much I pay attention... Anyway, that's a nice build (really nice actually). But I'd rather have a class which starts out doing that, rather than being forced to build one with multiple classes, and waiting until later levels to use my core concept: smashing people in the face...

    Changing Warlock powers to Melee: Balanced?

    Guys, this is the House Rules forum: "4e Fan Creations and House Rules." Good point though about targeting AC; that should definitely be included, otherwise the Weapon Prof. bonus is unfair. Eldritch Blast would remain keyed to your "casting" stat, either Cha or Con; note that I said nothing...

    The Point of Masterwork Armor?

    This. The in-game idea is that any armor can be enchanted, but higher enchantments require superior quality armor. This quality is reflected in the higher base AC. I actually like it; Masterwork armor now means better protection instead of slightly-less-crappy check penalties. Mor

    Changing Warlock powers to Melee: Balanced?

    Classes in 4e break down along two main descriptors: power source and role, so you get Arcane Controller, Martial Defender, etc. But melee/ranged does not get its own category. This is understandable from some role standpoints (I'm not sure how an exclusively ranged Defender would work, for...

    D&D General Tell me about the "coinage" in your homebrews!

    I've got Copper Pennies, Silver Marks, Gold Crowns, and Platinum Dragons (partly stolen from Eberron, obviously). Don't have anything for Astral Diamonds yet. While it would certainly be interesting/more immersive to have different types of coinage in different regions, I think it would just...

    D&D 4E Shado's 4e Color Landscape Sheets v1.2: UPDATED 6/24

    I'm unable to read the sheets. When I open them with Acrobat, I get this message: "There was an error processing a page. There was a problem reading this document (9)." Any idea what could be going on? Mor

    A discussion of Keith Baker's post regarding the Skill Challenge system

    Disclaimer: though I have the 4e books and I am DMing a game, I have not used or read the Skill Challenge system (mainly because of all the complaining about it), so take what I say with a large grain of salt. That being said, for those of you doing the math: do you factor in the use of skills...

    D&D 4E Old School 4e Character Sheet

    Holy crap I love this! Thank you so much for making this simple, elegant sheet. I do have a few suggestions though: Add lines to the feats/magic items section, and to the Race/class abilities section. Add lines to the equipment section, with a small column to the side for weight. Perhaps...

    D&D 4E Any 4e character sheets without calculation spaces?

    I can understand that; generally I trust my players (probably a little too much) so I don't check sheets often, unless someone is getting a little too lucky with rolls. I usually just put my characters on a sheet of notebook paper so I can format it however I like, but I really like the clean...

    D&D 4E Any 4e character sheets without calculation spaces?

    Tons of great character sheets have been made for 4e so far, but I was wondering if anyone knows of any that don't have spaces for calculating your total modifiers. I always just do the math in my head when I'm filling in the sheet, so to me they're just a waste of space. My goal here is to...
