Don't get me wrong. I'm not trying to make anyone inferior to anyone else in the 4e skillset. I just would like that extra boost for specific circumstances. Moments for individual characters to shine outside of combat is really what the meaning was behind this. I love the idea of the very deft...

I think the shuffling of the skills are a good idea. I missed a few of the obvious ones (Swimming under Athletics). I was thinking of the +2 as well, and maybe allowing for only one specialty per character? That eliminates any rule altering/ feat creation... something I wanted to avoid. Maybe...

In an effort to try and expand some out of combat specialization, I am trying to enhance 4e skills with 3e subskills. I've managed to figure out where the 3e skills fit into the 4e framework, with duplicates as needed. The trick is to now decide what to do with it. Couple of early thoughts. I...

Thanks for the ideas! Some good ones here, it seems. Strangely enough, my next read is actually going to be Diary of a Wimpy Kid. Then I'll hit up some of these suggestions.

Hey gang: I am finishing Joe Abercrombie's First Law trilogy right now (No spoilers please! I still have 130 pages left in Last Argument of Kings) I love it and would recommend it to anyone, but I am very much getting burned out on fantasy books/ trilogies where war is the story/ backdrop/...

In reference to my longer list of skills being an encouragement to role playing, at creation, I would think refinement of the skills might lead to more thought on backgrounds, further defining roles. Me and my buddy might be Thieves with Thievery skill, but if his Pick Pocket is honed to a high...

Ok, so I was wondering, if WOTC did another round of forum lingering and feedback and decided to create a suppliment to 4e to address some concerns, what would it look like in oreder for you to buy it and impliment it in some way? Rules: 1) Even though I'm calling it a "fix" book, errata is...

This isn't a 4e specific problem, but since I play 4e, I am having the problem in this ruleset. How do you guys handle perception checks that aren't passive? I have this problem with asking for perception checks from the party and only 2 of 5 get the check. I don;t want to waste time telling...

Don't skill challenges cover this? I mean, certainly you could include cards or other props, but 4e has a system for this kind of thing. Even if you don't play 4e, Skill Challenges could most likely be imported into whatever you're playing.

So I just went to a store near me and played in a LFR game, and it didn't sit well with me. The people were fine and all, but my gaming needs more of a sense of story and continuity. LFR's restraints are great for what they do, but I need something different. I'm still looking...

Thanks man. It's tough when you know how much fun the game is, want nothing more than to play it, but realize that the greater area either doesn't play at all, or refuses to play 4e.

On the heels of my last post: Hey folks, I live in central MD which is a dry spot for the game I want to play (4e). I've gone to about 10 different sites which advertise gaming connections, and none have been successful. Can anyone recommend the best site for finding players/ games?

4e seems pretty dry around here, and I am a 4e fan, so I'm looking for an existing group or to form a new group. I can DM or be a player as needed. Interested? mrkemper2005@yahoo.com

For the Ritual Caster non-magical class, I think I meant any class that doesn't have Ritual Caster as a free feat. The point about the skill checks is a good one, and is probably enough to tip the scales. As far as the Ranger goes, the 4e image of the Ranger is purely martial, so his spells...

I was thinking of allowing my characters to select an additional At-Will power to give 3 total (or 4 if you're a human) at creation. This seems to open up options and tactical choices to the level that I feel is good. 2 just doesn't seem to cut it, though I suspect it was chosen for ease of use...

The Warlord. I hate the name (a 1st level WarLORD?... maybe something a little more malliable like Tactician or something that doesn't scream power early on) but since playing and DMing 4e from the start, this class has impressed me more than any other. (Played as 4 others, DMed most of the...

So I know that 4e isn't perfect, and there are a few things I wish they had done differently, or addressed since the release. That being said, I was hoping to generate a quick set of things that you believe 4e does right. These can be broken down into a few types: Fundamental changes in the...

Hey, I'm a 33 year old who is a 21 year veteran of the game (since the red box) and for many reasons, I'm moving on from my long running group. I live in Hampstead, and I'm reasonably sure that other people in this county play 4e DnD, I just can't seem to find any. Ideally, I'd like to find...
