    4th Edition and the Immortals Handbook

    I'd be willing to do a bit of writing. I think I have a fair grasp of the Krustiverse, and if you just provide the formulas needed, I could easily provide content (either converting from 3.5, or adding new that is consistent with your vision).

    D&D 3.x 4E vs 3E... what are the main changes?

    In my experience, the biggest difference between 3e and 4e is this: In 3e, the most fun, and the most options, were before the game began. Allocating your equipment and classes and powers and abilities and feats were the real game. The encounters were a test to see how well you'd done. In 4e...

    4th Edition and the Immortals Handbook

    Will you price additional heads correctly though? Because the head advantage is thus MASSIVE in terms of the economy of actions. Hm. Actually, that does sound like it may well be good enough. What do you think about increasing AP gain from once every other combat, to every combat? Making it an...

    AD&D Kobold picture

    I was having a discussion about the various depictions of kobolds over the years, and it came up that the AD&D Kobold from the Monstrous Compendium was significantly different from either the dog-like image or the lizard-like image. Does anyone have this picture available so I can see it...

    4th Edition and the Immortals Handbook

    Strangely enough, I think that merely giving it to all immortals is not going far enough. You see, with Tiamat, landing a stun never takes her out of the game for an entire round, because she has five heads. What the stun actually does is limit her options and slow her down slightly. What we...

    Stalker0's Obsidian Skill Challenge System (NEW VERSION: 1.2!!!)

    I -love- the changes. The combat challenge is perfect. The armor penalty thing is perfect.

    4th Edition and the Immortals Handbook

    I'm not sure that they're all up to level 35 standards, but they're more than the ancients. It's DEFINITELY not just a copy of each weapon. The damage dice aren't always increased (though the +damage bonuses tend to be) but each weapon comes with additional effects. The black head breath weapon...

    4th Edition and the Immortals Handbook

    Tiamat gets a standard + minor action per head, and each head gets a separate initiative, prerolled by the statblock even! Each head also gets a separate action point. I'm not sure how movement is handled. I guess any head can forgo its standard for a move action. There's also an additional...

    The Monster Project

    Do you have plans to stat a 4e phoenix? Or will you be waiting for WotC to do it? By the 3e multiply by 1.5 rule, it should be level 36, but I'm thinking that's a bit higher than really needed, given comparable creatures.

    Another take on the Necromancer class

    When you wrote in the flavor that someone would have to pay the price for another's healing, I was imagining abilities that would drain life from one target and give it to another. Some of the abilities do this, but not the basic one. Perhaps you can have the ability allow you to touch up to...

    Halving Hitpoints

    What I've done is make it so the players WIN at 1/2 HP, but not necessarily kill at that point. I am finding that monsters aren't dealing enough damage over time this way, so I'm going to be slowly increasing the damage until I find a good equilibrium. I'm playing a PbP, and without decreasing...

    4th Edition and the Immortals Handbook

    Two things I'd like to see statted out come from Terry Pratchett's Diskworld series. The Great A'tuin, which I statted out in 3rd edition, and the "Auditors". The reason I'd like these statted out is twofold. One, I want to see how you'd handle a turtle the size of a planet, and two, I'd like...

    4th Edition and the Immortals Handbook

    Krusty, I've been DMing an epic level game PbP here: ( http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=2901601 ) and have a few more comments to add. 1) Solo and elites have a LOT of hp. (I used stats for Astral Stalker, Elder Blue, made stuff up for the nymph, and changed the fluff a...

    Forced movement and immobilized targets

    In a PbP I'm DMing, there's a rogue who's trying to use Tornado Strike to move someone immobilized by some Black Tentacles. Is this possible? Page 285 doesn't seem to offer any help. The closest thing that hints at a ruling is that a slide is "Not a Move", not counting against a target's...

    4th Edition and the Immortals Handbook

    I've been brainstorming a system in which medium sized creatures (ie, PCs) can meaningfully interact with much much larger creatures. Basically, add abilities that enable them to act as the best of both world between medium and larger sizes. Note that this is merely at the brainstorming stage...

    4th Edition and the Immortals Handbook

    Well, it would take four people, not three-- two daze = slow, two slow = stun. Stun -> daze, so you three "stuns" would equal 1.5x slow. If you have four people dedicated to stunning, then in a party of five, that leaves only one to do anything about it, and hopefully there are still others...

    4th Edition and the Immortals Handbook

    I'm a big fan of the condition track method, with elites reducing one on the track, and solos reducing two. You could even give certain creatures an ability to make them resist stunning more, to have an elite that resists like a solo, and a solo where stunning does nothing until stunned twice...
