The first time I used it, it gave me all elves and orcs, and the second time it gave me all skeletons. Though I guess that was just coincidence. I particularly like the elf and orc combo. First glance it was like "thats a bit too random," but thinking about it, it could be a cool hook. Next...

Personally, I wouldn't have this one as a skill challenge. If you manage to Thievery out the lock, that would....open the gate. Auto-win. And if you climbed over, that Auto-wins as well. If you were to awake a sleeping guard, that would be perfect for a social encounter, and you could even have...

Get a target's con to 1, and get them helpless to deal more effective CdGs. Then again, if a target's con is 1, its probably not hard to drop it to 0 with whatever ability was doing it...

Perhaps it interrupts death to use the ability? I don't know the ability, so I can't say anything.

Assuming they're keeping 1 square is 5 feet (I'm actually not sure about this, but all of my maps are based on this, so I'm house ruling it) that's only 100 feet. If you're taking out dim light at the end of bright light, and making it all bright, I'd say that's about right.

Fear of salves. I believe its possible for anyone to cast a ritual, if they have the know how. I think that it is most likely a party will have a communal ritual book rather then a wizard covering it all. Though for the things requiring a skill check, the wizard/cleric might do the best at it...

I...I... I'm embarrassed. I started RPing when I was into Naruto. To this day, when I need to make an important roll, I put two fingers to my forehead and say a quick jutsu. Lets just say, 50% of the time it works like a charm.

I'm not sure I follow. Would more scrolls be used as the components for other scrolls? I think I'm just really tired and missing something, heh.

I think this is either a typo, or the language used for "when reduced to 0 or below." Look in the rest of the book and see if there are any similar abilities with other language. If they all say "When reduced to 0," then it would be safe to assume it triggers when you fall below it.

I know this is true, but I don't want to believe it *sob*. I could argue that it depends on play style, ymilemv, but I guess I need to concede. Having a clean sheet will make playing faster, and most likely more entertaining because of it. To my players, at least try not to say "I use 300 gp of...

I lol'd. I agree with this somewhat, but like they said, it is much better to have the rogue in your party picking the locks himself. Though if my players were using knock often,and knock was 10 minutes long, I might have some monsters wander in after 9 and a half minutes. If the PCs can hold...

I'm going to be moving to Vancouver for school in July, and I want to get a 4e game going. Homebrew, trying to balance combat with roleplaying. Everything is currently up in the air, and I'm just trying to find potential players. I don't know how big Vancouver is exactly, but it will be held in...

I can see your points, though I'm still not crazy about it. Sure, there are hundreds of kinds of sand, herbs, salves, so forth, but in practice, there are four components and a wild card. When I make my game, I want player's inventories to say "Prince Ran's Warmace" or "Egyrian Health Potion,"...

It seems my dislike of generic components isn't common. Perhaps I'm missing something? Though I guess for a game like this, it makes sense to streamline it and not have people buy specifics for everything, but its just... Everything else that seems like a video game is only so due to mechanics...

Oh, ohhh. D: I thought I was being smart by adding italics. Though power names still have italics, I believe. Though note that the article might not be exact to the book. "Residuum" is spelled once in italics and one without, so there may not be a definitive rule on it.

I don't know the official answer, but this is what I would do in a pinch. If an attack deals less than 6 damage, they go back down to 1hp, despite how much HP they "should" have. If an attack deals 6 or more damage, they die. If an ability gives a minion, say, 10 temporary hit points, I would...

Raise Dead... I don't see why there is a special heal component. Why would a salve raise the dead? "New moisturizer from Oil of Olay, rejuvenate your skin, and bring yourself back from the dead, now with shea butter." The flavor text actually states that you pray to the gods to return your...

Well, that makes sense, and I might actually adapt it for my game, but I'll have to think about it. I would prefer to give the players a game reason as to why they should keep going. The King's son is going to die the PCs don't travel to the Zombie Forest and get some herbs, and the doctor...

The one problem I can see is that the game will start going faster then expected. Lets say that the players, on average, go three encounters without a rest. Original Redone 1 1 2 2.1 (1+1.1) 3 3.3 (1+1.1+1.2) 4 4.3 (3.3+1) 5 5.4 6...

That's a cool idea to make profession and perform more useful. I haven't heard of them anywhere else, but it would be a nice house rule to say that 5 ranks in a prof/perf gives you +2 in a different skill.
