I agree with ^^^^^^^. Wishlist = player entitlement. Having a player quest for an item he wants every now and then is great. Having every player expect to be able to pick what magic items they are going to find is, IMO, ludicrous. I must admit I LOL'ed when I read this part of the DMG. As...

A bit of home-spun lore that helps give the world a feeling of progress and rebuilding, as well as providing a hook for possible military adventures. FORT HOPE Fort Hope is a military installation built and garrisoned by Fallcrest and the Heartlands three years ago. It's establishment north...

Well, the road already has the longest interval between checks, and thus the lowest frequency of encounters. The party would not be reducing encounter frequency by travelling off-road. I make the assumption that there would be several more encounters with civilized peoples on the road than...

Awesome job so far man! Some of these bring back some great memories. Are you going to make these available in PDF when they are finished?

The next post will be my work-in-progress on the Nentir Vale random encounter tables. You will notice they are not yet tables - simply lists. However, this might still be helpful to somebody. Every monster in the Monster Manual is on the list below. If an entry has a dash, the left-hand side...

Posted my Nentir Vale random encounter table WIP in the 4E custom creations forum, as promised. Didn't want to clutter up this thread with a huge post. Comments/suggestions welcome.

I ask you, would such a thing not be bad-@ss?

Here is my suggestion on how to motivate players not to do the 'rest every encounter' thing... 1. Action points reset to 0 every day. 2. Action points are accrued at milestones normally (ie - every 2 encounters) and can be used normally. 3. At the end of each day, unused action point are...

I too am using the Nentir Vale as my campaign setting. I like to use random encounter charts by region for wilderness travel, so to that end I am making encounter tables for every region in the Vale. I took the liberty of naming the plains and terrain regions that did not have names yet, to...

That's okay, it's not your fault. However, as others have said, it certainly doesn't inspire confidence. Neither does the fact that they have not redesigned their site for ages, even though the current one is really bad. I was expecting a nice site redesign with the online mags. Instead...

Eladrin Rogue - Feystep + High Stealth + Backstab = pur3 pwnage

Indeed. ;)

Ok. How so? That's not knee-jerk? You're right - they didn't ever say 'Argh, doom, this sucks, I will never use this!' In fact, here is Clark's reply to a reactionary fanboy who claimed that the license was insulting and nobody that walks upright would consider using it... Sounds to me...

And by dissatisfaction you mean the incessant bleating of the forum flock. The license has not been out long enough for those who it will actually affect to have adequate time to review it, digest it, and run it by their lawyers, let alone come to any kind of consensus of dissatisfaction. The...

Two at-will racial powers? Note that every other race receives only 1 racial power, and they are all encounter powers. While the powers don't seem overpowered in and of themselves, I would try to rework your template so that it conforms better to the norm. Rework the Swampwalk into a class...

I don't understand why this is a problem. Rogues are not monks. They are not masters of unarmed combat. What exactly do you perceive to be the problem here? Edit: On second thought, upon remembering the title of the topic (Rogues are useless!), never mind. This does seem to be nothing but...

W = Wildmage Just guessin.

Yep. If practicable, most parties would try to fight their way TO the main baddy, then take an extended rest before the final fight. Go in buffed with max resources.
