I have, since 1E, traditionally played rogues/thieves. They are my favorite class, partially because they have the ability to avoid combat and get the job done anyways. My view on how Backstab/Sneak Attack should work is related to the map grid and the flanking option. First, I liked the...

Hexes for outside and grid for inside. However, I would like the return of facing in the combat system, where the three squares in front of you (NW, N,NE) are your front, the sides are two squares (W/SW and E/SE) and the squares behind (S) is your rear, with appropriate bonuses. (Meybe rear is...

EDIT: Did you ever go back to a post you wrote and say 'Wha?!? I actually wrote this?', well this is mine. This long post can be summed up as follows: 2 fighters of the same level, all else being equal, should have a 50% chance of winning against the other if all they do is stand and swing...

I realize that this must surely have been asked before, but has anyone heard when the playtesting will begin? I'm annoyed that WOTC has asked for names then nothing. Other than compile a database full of emails, nothing seems to have come their 'signup for playtesting' If they were not ready...

ReekHard Sim-Hons: Minor God of enthusiasm, bad haircuts, happy-bouncy people and ambiguous sexuality. Also a patron saint of annoyance.

See above. The Dark are gone. The players will never meet them. I used them essentially to provide the justification for the current omnipresent darkness. I find it gives a batter backstory to the POL 'setting' than "there was a war and the last empire lost". This way, there is a reason why...

I didn't explain well enough, but in the books, the Dark are gone. They used a dimensional portal and left for a world that didn't have an impeding ice age. While I will skip the ice age, the Dark are gone in my world too. (The Dark are amoeba like creature that can kill with a touch. In DND...

Reading this thread actually made me go out and look. I found Wkipad, kind of a local wiki, not a website. Looks good, it's open source (hence free) and works both on windows and linux. Since I use Ubuntu workstations and have Windows at work, that's a plus for me. WikidPad - wiki...

Well, for the moment, I have the main plot line revolving around the negociations for the Nentir Vale re-joining the kingdom. A scroll arrives in Winterhaven, the local lord asks the group to journey to Fallcrest to confirm the authenticity of the scroll. The lord will then journey to Fallcrest...

HI guys! I'm going to be starting a 4e campaign as soon as my 3.5 campaign finishes. I am planning to do the H1 to H3 series to learn the ropes then switch to my own plot lines. Now, I have decided to adopt the default POL campaign setting using the Nentir Vale. To add my own twist to the back...

In my current campaign, the evil guys are a loose coalition of 5 evil gods led by the clerics of the Rotlord (god of disease). In a plan to summon a major demon to free an even greater daemon (think Temple of Elemental Evil), the Cabal developed a magical disease that makes people berserk...

Thanks guys, exactly what I wanted to know!

Hi all! I have seen references in numerous posts about 4E getting the math wrong at high levels and that the "expertise" solution in the PHB2 is right/wrong/not enough. Can someone give me a quick rundown on what the problem is? I have yet to play 4E and have not been following the forums...

Also, if you wish to use Photoshop. I might suggest Gimp. Gimp is essentially the Open Source equivalent of Photoshop and is free. There are both Linux and Windows versions available.

ok, now you've spiked my curiosity... I want a web counter with the total updated every 5 seconds.... ;)

money sent! Good luck! EDIT: It might be useful to pin this thread to make it visible longer.

I will probably limit to Good or Lawfull Good. As per the PHB, alignement are about being on a "team". Well, my PCs are supposed to be heroes. Therefore, they should be part of the "good guys". Mind you, if my players object strenuously, I might let unaligned but I don't like it. I my way of...
