    Cool Hybrid concepts? Post here!

    For extra concept-based fun, check out some of malcom_n's APS (alternative power source) class write-ups. They look like they should be pretty easy to convert to hybrids...

    New hybrid rules: hybrid talent feat just once?

    Considering HRing to either allow two hybrid talent feats or 2/tier... I can't see it getting too unbalanced. Should help to make some interesting characters as well. I'm also wondering if it's possible to cut the sorcerer's hybrid talent feat into two feats. I'll have a look at that in the...

    APS - Arcane Paladin

    Another one! It's like christmas come early :) .

    Noble : A martial controller.

    I think this is a wonderful idea, RangerWickett. It fixes pretty much all of the problems I had with the minions before! These changes would also negate the need for 'Call in reinforcements!' powers, which frees things up for nobles to have combat powers of their own. (I would love to see a...

    APS - Divine Sorcerer

    Great Idea. I've been loving this series of experiments. Are you planning on posting them all in the one place when you're done? One bit of feedback on the Divine Sorcerer: I'd (personally) change the flavor text of the power source from: To something a little bit more "The power of the...

    Noble : A martial controller.

    Interesting idea, not sure how well it would work in practice though. It could be far to easy to utterly disable a noble's minions. When I read 'Noble: Martial controller', I was expecting something more like a skilled weapons master with a nimble blade and a biting tongue. With your choice of...

    Cool Hybrid concepts? Post here!

    With the new hybrid rules being playtested, there's bound to be a few interesting experiments around. Some of them may be powerful, some characterful, and some just plain loopy! If you have an idea, share it here. (one I just came up with: Thaneborn Barbarian/Bard - Hard drinking, hard...

    Hybrid Character Playtest

    Hehe. I've been wanting to try something similar: a gnome rogue/darklock, with hybrid talent: pact boon as the feet. There's just something appealing about slipping about with deft strike, cursing and many people as possible, then letting off a cursebite to charge up your darkspiral aura... It...

    Hybrid Character Playtest

    I actually like hybrid because it gives me access to so many more character concepts. One of the big weaknesses for 4e (for me) was the feeling of being shoehorned into a rather limited archetype. Now, I feel far more free to play with it; To think up a character idea and then figure out a class...

    [Not Suitable For Work] Build a Tiny Race

    Soul Mote: A soul mote is a soul that, for one reason or another, has not been claimed by the afterlife. It may even be a soul of someone yet to be born. A soul mote appears as a floating wisp of light. it's color depends on the personality of the soul. Soul Motes have Fly 5 (hover) with a...

    Another take on the Necromancer class

    I love the class, although it may be nice to see a way to shift healing surges from ally to ally. Keep up the good work, I'm looking forwards to seeing the result!

    Avatar: The Last Airbender - Bending styles as classes?

    I was thinking about this a while ago, and I wrote a few pages of notes while I was working on the subject. Here are some of the things I cam up with. SEPARATE CLASSES? Yes. While some powers could definitely cross over, I think that different bending styles are probably functionally...

    Tomarken: A Drug

    I was thinking about how to do drugs a while ago... I'll see if I can dredge the notes up. I think I was playing with a 'comedown' rule, whereby the drug gave a negative modifier = to the positive mod after the drug wore off. I'll post more when I hunt it down.

    Pre-Heroic Characters

    Just had a quick look at your system, and I must say that I like it. It seems like it will work as a good introduction to the game, and it probably doesn't have the same character vulnerability issues that my system has (although this vulnerability is intentional - I want them to feel like...

    Pre-Heroic Characters

    Here is my take on having a tier before the heroic tier: Imaginatively named the 'Pre-heroic tier'! I've gone for more of a 'how the characters became heroes' feel, rather than a 'let's run around and farm pigs!' situation. There are a couple of things that I should probably explain...

    Making Spellcasting and the Arcane Work

    In this case then, the wizard is essentially the experimenter. The wizard understands both magic and how the world works (physics) and can tailer magical energies to produce the desired effects when needed. Rather than forcing them to take specific spells, you could use a more 'skill-like'...

    Encounter Card

    What is the intended purpose of this? While it is quite pretty, I can see little practicle use (although summing up entire adventures and encounters in a single card is a nice touch). Please, pursuade me otherwise :) .

    Ability Checks - Should they be errata'd?

    This makes the assumption that the wizard would never have to make a check because he would always be in the same location as the fighter... sometimes, characters have to split up :) Oh, the calamity!
