    Whats the best race?

    All of the races are actually pretty balanced this time around. Disclaimers around, here are my picks: Halflings - Insane defense straight out of the box. Dragonborn - Their stats make them great at several roles and their breath-weapon, when used well, can add a lovely bit of minion control...

    EnWiki code of manners

    I think this thread needs another day on the front page. Bumps. I also think that a 'works posted here may be subject to being posted on the wiki without announcement UNLESS YOU NOTE IN YOUR POST OTHERWISE' clause on the homebrew forum should be seriously considered.

    Destructive Terrain and more dynamic battlefields

    Thanks for the response Knight. Perhaps my wording wasn't completely clear, but I fail to see how my system is very complicated! It creates a static figure using simple math. Level 16 wizard with 20 intelligence, thats 36. That took me all of 10 seconds to come up with and do the math for. Now...

    Extra Reasons To Play A Class

    Some might say that this is a bit 'anime' and I might agree, but few can doubt its fun. Martial character wants to be "The Best", "Number 1 Warrior" etc.

    D&D 4E 4e's Inorganic Loot System: Yay or Nay?

    In practice I have found the new system to be both easy to use AND organic. So YAY YAY YAY YAY YAY YAY YAY YAY YAY!

    Ecology of the Dragonborn up

    I agree about the image, its fantastic. As for the article, its pretty good, though I'm mostly psyched about it because a player of mine who is going to be playing a Dragonborn and I just had this conversation: "Tell me about Dragonborn" "Well, they are basically humanoid dragons, no tails...

    In Praise of the Fluff-Light Monster Manual (Forked: Ecology of the Dragonborn up)

    I've always been a 'make my own fluff' sort of guy. So I love the new MM. Though I still must complain that it is weird that despite the improved spaciousness there are NO IRON GOLEMS? Meh, still like it.

    Good town maps

    I'm going to be running an encounter in a town square soon. Basically a thematic variation of the 'zombies everywhere' trope. This town can be any shape, as long as I have an area where I can pin the PCs down to make it feel like a hopeless battle of attrition. What town maps have you used...

    Elite Desonnen Shock trooper

    Hmm thats a good idea moniker (the template one). As for damage expressions, if you look at the table you will find that I DID use appropriate expressions. The normal attack uses medium, the blasts use low, and only the stomp does High Limited damage, because its hard for the trooper to get in...

    Victorian Steampunk Monster Hunters - Best System?

    This is a worthy thread. I would love to follow some of these suggestions, but we just got finished with out 3.5 campaign in Ebberon which was basically this (it went well).

    EnWiki code of manners

    Bump! As of this bump, things are 8 to 8! Close one. How about this suggestion: A sticky of homebrew guidelines for if you want your thing added to the wiki when it is complete. Perhaps including formatting guides and things to say if you want it added to the wiki for you. I just want to...

    Pyromancer and others

    I like these in general. I'm a bit tired and was quite confused by 'Paladin Sprayers'. However, the paladin one would work better as a channel divinity thing. And, though evil or shadow worshiping paladins should have a way to do necrotic damage, I feel like the better solution would be to...

    Elite Desonnen Shock trooper

    The Desonnen Shock trooper is an elite member of the Desonnen military that possesses formidable combat and magical skills channeled through a small focus placed in the back of their hand. They fight in well crafted but decorative golden armor (not real gold, just high quality and gold colored)...

    My god, you poor soul. Thank god you were alright! (hes saying that in 3.5 a housecat could easily kill a commoner)

    EnWiki code of manners

    I agree, I'm really on the fence with it. Ive started to update the segments with formatting and acceptable formatting examples. (though it keeps going down and the formats revert). Check out the feat section for an example.

    Dumb Fighter's Weapon Talent Question

    RAW - Yes RAI - Probably not However, Its not game breaking, and fighters seldom use 2 handed ranged weapons (as they are not 'heavy thrown') so really I see no reason not to let a fighter apply the bonus.

    EnWiki code of manners

    I was wondering what the general stance on posting other peoples creations (with credit given of course) to EnWiki without asking is? The reason I ask is because I love the idea of EnWiki, but when I look at a page and see it empty (or also irritatingly, with a link to a PDF download) I want to...

    Signature Spell

    I agree with firelance, HOWEVER!!!! I think its good as written, at epic level i don't care if my wizard always hits with his signiture spell. If it makes him feel good, then I'm happy. Even if +3 is out of line and powerful, its an at-will, and the feat as a whole is cool, but not a MUST...
