I'm very curious to see how these actually turn out... I have a player that requested some power cards (She is brand new to D&D, and wanted to play a wizard). Cool, I fired up my Magic Set Editor and started plugging away. Uh, there is a TON of text for some of these powers. "Contagion" as an...

My first reply was going to be "Dude, so which edition do you actually enjoy?"... then I read your status. :D The single biggest complaint I've been seeing is about hit points, and how they magically come back after a good night's rest. (Regarding basic, core mechanics. I feel if we criticize...

This is a far too literal interpretation of the rules. We will go with the minimum breaking point, 3str rolls 15 and 18str rolls 6. The brute strength vs. brute strength is valid, and the dice should not even bother to roll in this scenario. However, let us assume you wanted the dice to...

I find it funny how many people say "its like 3e mixed with 4e" and how many are also saying "This is a lot like 2e...". Just kind of fun, and I guess that means that they did some of their job correctly? ;) (For the record, it feels like 2e to me). I'm in favor of the simplification to a lot...

Part of my struggle with the skill concepts in general are that they are situationally beneficial to players. A lot of the previous comments talk about making charisma related actions regarding diplomacy (even intimidation), and the roleplay aspects work great for that. Does that mean my...

alright, thought i'd throw my two cents in. first of all, i'm on a smartphone so please forgive gramatical and spelling errors. solos have the major disadvantage of action economy. my group is a part of six with myself as a player. this means that we are getting in a minimum of six hits to the...

I think that it needs to be looked at with a "what is the plenalty for failure" mentality. Say Rouge Guyanthalas IV tries to pick a lock in 4E. When determining the difficulty, what is the end result suppose to be? Are you really going for "does he get a cool magic item, or not"? I really...

I agree with having more attacks. I'm a big fan of Solo's having recharge abilities as well. There is something nicely ominous about rolling for recharge on a powerful attack and saying "well, that's recharged" just audible enough for the players to take notice. :devil: I haven't really...

Yes and no. While I agree with your reasoning (and put it into practice in my games), I still do see that there can be an argument made. For simplification, lets use a large creature: Force orb attacks the creature, and then it hits all adjacent enemies. This means that it has the potential to...

For those of you interested in play balance issues, Morgan_Scott and I did some mathmatics to find out if there was an imbalance for the potential "exploit". Average weighted damage of attacking the creature NOT the square is higher. The more creatures that surround the primary target...

I'm going to side on the "Terrain counts as object" group. First, I think its creative and this is a game that should reward creativity (when it doesn't destroy the fabric of space). Second, I see sacrificing a 2-16 + INT damage for a better DC to hit the ground as a worthwhile trade...

I haven't looked at the VBScript portion of the program yet, but it looks as if the "Magic" and "Item" tabs are pretty user friendly to edit. Perhaps we just add the items in there and see what happens? It will take a little bit of typing, but it would get the update done.

Just thought I'd throw in an interesting take that I saw in Manual of the Planes. This is a planewalking orb (or something) property: I thought it was kind of an interesting way to mitigate a ritual cost. Perhaps houserule some things in individual games to have this effect with more items...

Alright, I scripted out an automatic item parser for use with file lists like they do in the PHB, AV, ect... (Yes, my Christmas is that damn jolly... ;)) Basically it takes a text file list that looks like this: 8 Scintillating +2 3,400 12 Feytouched +3 13,000 13 Scintillating +3 17,000 17...

I had a critique, but I read the thing wrong. I believe the initiative is high due to the dexterity of the creature, but I haven't played with the monster builder to see if one is dependent on the other.

Forked from: Iokharic Script Font I decided it should be its own thread, because not many will look at Iokharic if they want Rellanic. If you are looking for Iokharic (Draconic), please follow the forked link at the top. This is my version 1.2 of the font files. I have added punctuation...

I narrowed down the problem to the glyphs I was using as punctuation. This is the raw data from the PHB without the homebrew punctuation marks. I'll have an update for it as soon as I find out which ones and why they don't work correctly.

As I continue to write my campaign, I seem to stumble a lot of the little details, such as NPC names. So far, I've just googled things when I needed a name generated "Gnome name generator" "halfling name generator" ect, but this has been cumbersome and in most cases yielded poor results. Any...
