You could easily make a disease that used wisdom or charisma checks instead of Endurance checks, just lower the DCs appropriately. From your description I'd say you should use Charisma, representing pure willpower, rather than Wisdom. You could also use Will defence -10, or let them choose...

Don't forget that they die if they fail three death saves in an encounter - they only reset after a rest. My players at least tend to be a little more wary when they've failed a death save or two in an encounter.

Some nice foreshadowing there. It happens that it's off for a while, but this time it's evidently planned - and nice of him to tell us.

I have two simple things that may (or not) help some of you: 1) Do you have administrative rights when running the updater? I had this problem when I tried updating the first time. 2) Are you running the full version (i.e. paid subscription)? The updater does not work in the demo, you have to...

This is awesome, Jürgen.

I really like the Marital power keyword :D But, really, a fantastic program! (And, sorry, but isn't not being able to use all windows software part of the price tag on a Mac? Just as it is on Linux (etc.)?)

This monday my players will meet a whole bunch of crisp new monsters, not just the 1d3+1 (reskins, remakes and totally new) ones I usually make for that campaign!

Are you implying they won't be in the beta version? I hope they are in the final version, at least.

Undercover cops outside their jurisdiction massacre innocent sunbather? I swear I could hear him scream 'Don't taste me, bro! Don't taste me!'

Well, had it not been because they explicitly wanted other companies to use Gleemax it would have been contained in a teacup.

Also insofar that it's the type of energy most critters are resistant to, and the fewest vulnerable to. Good for monsters, but bad for PCs, to have.

What a pity - I think there's a lot of room for other clerics than the radiantly good. And I'm tired of radiant damage - too many powers use it (not just divine powers, but mostly). Radiant is the energy type that most monsters are vulnerable to, and very few have resistance against, so it's a...

Unclear directives, crappy programming (it kept going down) - frankly, it deserved to die. If what I remember can be trusted I think Wizards wanted everyone to put up their gaming blogs and stuff (not just WotC-related) there, which also meant signing away the rights to it to Wizards. That...

Is there anything for the not-so-good clerics and paladins? Alternatives to radiant damage or divine feats?

I just finished Marsbound, the latest Joe Haldeman novel. Really good realistic SF. I'm actually considering rereading Bad Monkeys by Matt Ruff - a fantastic paranoid novel about weird conspiracies. I can't recommend it enough.

I'm anxiously waiting for this - I really need it! Making monsters is much more fun then ever! I'm also waiting for the vapor-were. :lol:

I was a bit annoyed by the lack of power details in the article, but I suppose that is so that they can update them whenever they change - this is playtest, after all.

I don't think we shold take the DM month bit too seriously ;) I doubt they've coordinated any releases with Shelly's funny column. And I don't find it unreasonable that the first serious hints about the Monster Builder are released for subscribers - I'm sure we'll see more previews, open to...

I wonder if it's a downloadable app, or online. I would prefer it to be downloadable, hooking up to the compendium for the monster database, but I can see it being online to minimize compatibility issues.

I want this now! Making monsters in 4e is so fun, and a good tool for converting and making monsters would make it even more so! I make or convert monsters for virtually every game session* - I can't wait for this tool! (Sorry, for the fanboy rant! :o) From the latest Ampersand: * Well...
