    Psionic Power - I have it! (now with psion stuff)

    Thank you, Dire! I'll go look at my MoE For Merric - I haven't been a strong advocate of the ardent since it came out, but some of the powers in PsP actually gave me enough to want to play one. There's a recurring theme of letting one ally do something when another does the same; for example...

    Dark Sun! I have them!

    An interesting note, and I'm not sure if it's been brought up (sorry, I already read my 16 page thread for the day)... Under vanquished peoples (a sidebar of peoples of Athas), it lists kobold, deva, gnome, ogre, orc, and troll as races. kobolds, devas, gnomes and orcs all have racial options...

    Sell Me a Campaign Setting

    I couldn't resist taking this opportunity to offer Pnumadesi as a potential campaign setting. It's traditional fantasy with a few twists. The world is developed enough to run in, but is new to just about everybody and has enough design space left to fit in whatever overall story you want to...

    meh; just trying to be considerate. ;)

    D&D 4E 4E Races, Post-Essentials: Flexibility, You Say?

    similar, but there's a 50% chance your roll will be worse with the deva racial compared; and after a +4, anything above becomes only marginally better. Yes, sorry I meant to wrap that (you failed) into the whole thing, not just the save. And I dare say I too doubt they lose the bonus to their...

    D&D 4E 4E Races, Post-Essentials: Flexibility, You Say?

    They get no extra stat bonus, but they still get +1 and, arguably, an incredibly strong encounter racial. +4 to an attack or save you failed is pretty good and reason enough for me to still play a human. Especially since it means I will RARELY miss with a daily unless it's my second one in the...

    Multiclassing to the same class...twice?

    You only "have" to spend one. You "can" spend as many as are available "as long as" you only choose them from one such class. Being a bard, of course, is exception to even that. Play it how you want, but certainly, anybody playing in a WotC event, or in most games will likely run it properly.

    Psionic Power - I have it! (now with psion stuff)

    hmm, art; let's see... Of shardmind, in particular, there is only one picture and it's kinda meh. Then again, there seems to be one picture for each race in the book and a spread for each class. Otherwise, it's kinda picture light. By and far the coolest pictures, imho, are the cover art and...

    Fell Scorn pact boon missing from the Dark Sun book?

    yep; gives them a psionic flavor... *runs to my writing desk* I just had an AWESOME idea

    Another Racial Modifiers Thread - Or, How I met your Mother...

    So, we finally got a preview of a couple races with new ability score options in the red box. Halfling +2 Dex +2 Con/Cha - the ultimate assassin Elf - +2 Dex +2 Int/Wis - I'll cross my fingers for a good reason to pick +Int and suffer a lower Defense somewhere. Dwarf - +2 Con +2 Str/Wis - So...

    New Races

    Glad I could help. Also, I would suggest giving them at least an upgrade to resist cold 10 at 21st (if not at 11th with 15 at 21st). That'd keep them on par with other races unless tracking is a HUGE deal in your world. :) *EDIT* also, are you just making these races for your own campaign...

    Psionic Power - I have it! (now with psion stuff)

    Hmm, imo I kinda like them, but they all seem kinda overdone to me. But, let's see... How about: Reality Shuffle is a gimmicky 23 battlemind attack that you can augment to either increase the reach by 3 or teleport you and the target each 3 squares afterward. Then, the ardent gets an attack...

    Psionic Power - I have it! (now with psion stuff)

    We'll see after the preview on Friday :). Sorry, But as I said above I want to give WotC their due.

    Do Thri-Kreen Need Errata?

    Yes, in their racial write-up for 4e.

    New Races

    how about something like... Trackless Step: You get a +5 racial bonus to the DC required for creatures to find your tracks. Canny Stealth Canidae Racial Power Encounter Minor Action Personal Requirement: You must have cover or concealment. Effect: You are invisible until you attack or the...

    Psionic Power - I have it! (now with psion stuff)

    k, rolling camelot and Neonchameleon into this. The monk build is Iron Soul, as previewed today on WotC. It's a build that lets you get a benefit with weapons (mostly simple ones) so it goes well with mc into martial classes. No mba, though, and the grapples are Dex based, but Str riders like...

    Updating & Errata

    The fastest, and most convenient thing to do is use Character Builder. That said, yes you can print cards that have errata'd text and glue them in, just keep it to 1 or 2 deep, as after about 3 or 4 you start having trouble folding the book closed.

    Do Thri-Kreen Need Errata?

    I disagree. The Physical Qualities paragraph sums up nicely how they use weapons, and (as you stated) leaves implements unsaid. Again, though, if you have players who don't understand that art /= mechanics, I suggest setting aside dark sun for now and picking up a red box when they come out...

    Do Thri-Kreen Need Errata?

    Without mechanics to give use to the second set of arms, they become just fluff. I would assume it's intended that the thri-kreen be run as you would any other race. If he's wielding a 2-handed weapon, he can't use a shield, etc... But, I guess after 2 years, they may have started assuming...

    Psionic Power - I have it! (now with psion stuff)

    Here'ya go. Nonpsionic classes can gain access to psionic-themed feats and magic items. They can also choose to become an elan or a foulborn, though that too gives them psionic flavor (depending on how focused on that you want to be). Empty Vessel (heroic), Hostile Mind and Pure Mind (epic) are...
