Whoa whoa! He replaced his heart with a Balor? A WHOLE BALOR? or just the heart of a balor?

I'm planning on running a one session game before our main campaign where the players play as the Elven/Eladrin stock FAR in the past as the entire race is wiped out by cataclysm. During the session I want there to be elven people evacuating, screams, elven generals and leaders barking orders...

Damn you bardolf! ...Thats a better solution than mine. However, the main reason I worked out this system was to help make epic level combats feel more explosive, dangerous, and epic. Perhaps do what you said, but keep the multipler for tier? Its just that I have always felt that high...

To respond to some points made: The reason I decided against damaging enemies when they hit walls was because the powers already usually do all the damage that is meant + it is hard to balance the damage using the same mechanism + it also makes forced movement significantly more powerful. I...

Hate to bump my own thread, but I would really like you guys' opinion on these rules!

Here are some house rules for more destructive terrain I was considering. Please give me your opinions! :) Basically, this system generates a flat Object damage number to be applied to obstacles when characters or enemies push each other into them. Character Level (char doing the moving) *...

I approve heartily of Hussars definition of Sci-fi versus fantasy. When I think of Sci-fi I think of it in four distinct ways: 1. Does it have future technology? Are there lasers? Is it in any way in space? Pew Pew? 2. Is there an internal consistency to the 'mechanics' of the world and the...

It was well written and an alright article, but overall I didn't find it very helpful. It sort of retreads the helpful information you find in almost any players handbook, and didn't really bring anything new or inspirational to the table. Maybe I'm a jaded RP'er, but even trying to look at...

Well, I just thought I would chime in with the ULTIMATE guide to playing a sarcastic hero. http://youtube.com/watch?v=FPxY8lpYAUM

The question is simple, if you had unlimited resources to make your campaign great, and you set out to pick out two composers to write background music for the campaign, who would you pick? I would pick Philip Glass for travel and exploration scenes, negotiations etc, and John Williams for...

I like the idea. However, there are some things you need to consider. Monsters have more HP and deal less damage than PCs. This will lead to LONG battles. You should decide on a minimum level. This will keep players from using level 1 non-minions to clog the battlefield and flank in huge...

Ecology of the Dragonborn is coming out this month - woo. I would try to cultivate a guttural voice or something similar. Perhaps you speak very harshly to the party, but is very protective, like a gruff father who expects a lot. As for marking and being a good fighter, sure it means...

I'm looking forward to just about everything there. Awesome. As for the artificer, I would hazard a guess at Arcane Leader. In 3.5 they were basically Role: Leader Sub Role: SuperLaserRobotJesus My Artificer was basically a blaster (converted to reflavored warlock) but the class as a whole...

Red Stone is an organization in my campaign world. It is primarily criminal, but unaligned, and is fraught with plot hooks for all manner of PCs. It could be converted to any campaign setting very very easily. Give it a read through and tell me what you think! Red Stone Knowledge of Red...

Not totally sure yet, but these suggestions are all pretty good. Theres a lot that I like, but might give to much away, such as 'The Fall of Din-Mara' I was thinking something ambiguous and with multiple interpretations. 'The End of an Age' 'The dusk of an age' are both appropriate. I was...

This is a worthy thread. A large portion of my player's first mission takes place in an underground Eladrin palace (actually the original Eladrin/Elf stock, that have the powers of both, but that doesn't matter) (the above ground portion was completely destroyed). The way I did it was to have...

Mark is a status impairment. Alot of enemies can do it, from the lowly dragonshield. It just gives -2 to attack targets other than the marker.

Sounds pretty fun, Its nice to see a party working as a well oiled machine and using combat to their advantage. I haven't run an encounter of orcs yet but that is coming up and I'm excited for it.

I thought this was funny. I thought the megawhinge was funny. And infinite oregano is funny too.
