I'd rather have killable gods as optional in a supplement (which I won't buy). But it doesn't bother me too much that 4E have some supplemental rules for it, as most previous editions have. Certainly in my campaign I wouldn't want to have that part of the reasonable realm of possibility.

I like having rules for some of the more common tactics, and I think both 3E and 4E are better (for my taste) than previous editions for covering more things with rules. Where I think 4E may hopefully be an improvement over 3E is in having simpler rules for the more common tactics, with more...

I was puzzling about why Wizards seems to be shooting themselves in the foot by being so secretive about the 4th Edition rules until the 11th hour before release instead of previewing many of the best aspects in order to promote and market the game. It crossed my mind that maybe it is fear that...

I decided to buy one of each set except the first from Amazon (the first was listed as too expensive on Amazon, and the link to tile set 1 on stiggy seemed to be broken (or perhaps overwhelmed by a rush of ENWorlders trying to buy the set. Thanks for all the responses. I am looking forward to...

I have not bought any of Wizards of the Coast's D&D tile sets. I saw them on Amazon recently and thought of getting some, but it appears that the very first one or two sets are no longer available except as expensive collectibles. The more recent sets look nice, but I don't want to buy them...

I don't know if it is the major consideration for the design decisions, or even a factor in those decisions, but the result of the 4E changes which make flying, invisibility, etc. less accessible to low level characters does absolutely help me in creating a world that is more in line with my...

I don't mind tieflings, but I don't like the idea of dragonborn as a common PC race. I will wait until I see the full write up. Then, I may either decide to allow them as is or ban them outright. But I think my preference would be to allow the mechanical rules for them but with different...

Thanks, Hellcow, for sharing your thoughts and what information you were able to share on this thread. It was great reading and very interesting. While my curiosity has only increased with respect to rituals and the noncombat system, I am glad when I hear from folks (especially game designers)...

I seem to remember reading something on these boards that rangers had two main class options, just as rogues have a Charisma based and a Strength based build, and that the ranger choice was archer or dual-wielder. But I don't remember if this was confirmation or just speculation.

I hope psionics does not use a different system, as the attempt to do so in previous editions has led to balance problems. I hope that the designers succeed in creating a different flavor and tactical difference with the psionic classes while still using the same core system as the other classes.

I prefer arcane powersource (or if there is such, an art or music powersource) for the bard.

Bganon, I like your write up as you wrote it. If the troll is an elite, then it should keep it's action point and bonus to saves, as only two of them will be facing an appropriate level party.

Same as 3.5, an opportunity attack does not stop movement (unless the attacker has a special power to stop movement with OA's, as does the fighter with its class feature of "Combat Superiority: (+2 to opportunity attacks and enemies hit stop moving if a move provoked the attack)"

Thanks, neceros. That did it. I was able to download your character sheet. Mentat55, I like your stats for that fighter power. It is not unbalanced. I may use, however, give it to the fighter as a second level utility power once per encounter. That's not because I think it's too powerful...

I'm planning to use some earthen defenders in a group this weekend, as creatures summoned by an evil wizard to fight the players. I'll let you know how that battle goes.

Thanks, Neceros. I tried downloading the PDF of the character sheet at your site, but I can't seem to get it. Do I need to do something first, such as register? I just clicked on the little box that says CHARACTER SHEET in the area that says Downloads, and it comes up blank.

Well, for Forge of Fury, we have stats for basic troglodytes, basic orc raiders, and Nightscale herself. We also have some undead, though some may need to be modified to get them to the right power level. We would need stats for an ogre leader, some other types of orcs, including an orc...

Here is another one, a dwarf cleric: EBERK, THE SUN SERVANT MALE DWARF CLERIC LEVEL 1 GOOD Ability Score Value Modifier Armor Class 16 Strength 12 +1 Fortitude Defense 13 Constitution 14 +2 Reflex Defense 11 Dexterity 10 +0 Will Defense 16 Intelligence 12 +1 Initiative...

Hunter's Quarry must do 1d6 damage normally. The eladrin ranger in the pregens has a feat that improves his damage for Hunter's Quarry to 1d8, so the basic ability without the feat has to be less than 1d8. I figure it must be 1d6 as that puts it at the same amount as the warlock's curse which...

The speculation is that humans get +2 to any two ability scores, or possibly to one physical and one mental ability score. I based these characters very closely off of the pregenerated characters from D&D Experience. The pregen tiefling wizard has Intelligence 20, because tieflings get +2...
