Simple answer: Have him play a dwarf. Explanation: He can't be poisoned easily (with the mass of him, you need twice as much poison :p) He's hard to push around He moves slowly Heavy armour is lighter than his flab, so it doesn't slow him down any further.

Perhaps you can add residuum to adjust them to work for a slightly higher level?

Wouldn't the players be the best people to decide what their character does with its downtime? Or is the random chart intended to be for things that get in the way of what they want to do?

What random generation method are you using? If you want to know how badly the stats will change the maths, it's necessary to know that. 4d6, drop the highest, 6 times in order is a very different animal from 16+1d2, roll (well, flip) 7 stats, drop one, and place as you like. (to take two...

On the ointment: love the idea, but think it should be levels 10, 15, 20, 25 and 30 Otherwise, how do you ever get your favourite item, that you've had since level 4/5, to level 30? Just a niggling thought.

Except, that, you know, the angel can just be flying ANYWAY, because there's no limit to their flight time. So, at start of combat, they're already 22 feet up. Oh, and running= fly 5, Double run=fly 10 So, it'd take them two rounds to get up there. (7 rounds is how long it takes if they're...

So, essentially, you want to take a monster, make it larger, make it higher level, and make it a brute?

Martial is NOT the default Seriously, if it doesn't say a power source that means it doesn't necessarily use any one of the standard power sources. It's a natural power (like breathing fire, or creating a cloud of darkness) not one gained through: Intense practice and skill (martial) A...

But if you use an area of effect blast to chunky salsa my original body (or deliberately go up to it and do so) I am dead, even though my dragon will stick around a while. That is a downside. Depends on the enemies willingness to capitalise on it, but I know my dragon-spirit would not be...

Prove it. You're saying the WotC are making a massive blunder by not having PDFs on the market. You can't say "WotC released PDFs, it must have been the right thing to do" and still say that WotC are doing the wrong thing. That's a completely self-contradictory argument. Maybe WotC made a...

Ironheart, if it does exactly what you describe, is superior IFF you only spend surges in combat (or max one per short rest) You are almost certain to get hit at some point after spending the surge. With Strongheart you can overheal (and lose some of the hitpoints) while with Ironheart you...

It IS a choice: let's say the fort attack pushes. And the high-fort enemy is right next to a lava-pit. That's a choice. Let's say the monster with high will also seems to have a really good basic attack. And you have a power that could make it hit its allies. That's a choice. If the players...

Seems a bit unbalanced, it would teach the PCs "Turtle up, and they'll become weaker, and you can mop them up" If you're going to say that enemies can't get fighting past 5 rounds, why not the PCs? ie. at each round past the 5th one person on each side makes an intimidate check, modified by...

The point is, you can't just pick it up off a mates shelf. And that most people DON'T have these devices YET. (especially not the kids 20 and under that you say "demand digital".) You seem to be saying WotC should be releasing PDFs now, because PDFs are the future? But, to be simple, WotC...

<sarcasm>Really? Books that people have on their iPad sit on their shelves? They can be grabbed and flipped through? And all the people who'd buy the PDF would have an iPad right? Because everyone I know has an iPad, no-one would be seen without one, that'd be SILLY</sarcasm> Seriously, books...

When you go to a friends, do you look at the books on their shelves? I do. Do you look through their hard drives for any files that might be interesting? I don't. I could get my PDF of the PHB up on my computer. If I decide to show it to them And I wasn't using my computer for something else...

Not just every encounter. Every encounter, for every monster, vs. once every X encounters, for each PC. That's a MASSIVE increase in workload.

You're clearly completely missing the point. It's not that people would look at the game, go "this is being sold as PDF elsewhere, I won't buy it" It's that selling the game as a PDF decreases the chances of people seeing it in the first place. If I buy a hardcopy, the store I bought it from is...

In 1 and 2, what happens to the rope= what would happen if the rope were in the location on the other side (for instance, a portal into an inferno would mean the rope gets burned) in 3, it depends. I would rule it can't be pulled back, but doesn't get cut. Why? Because I like my portals to...

If Brutus can come up with a way to make intimidate work in every situation, fine, but an awful lot of situations won't be applicable, and in many it will have a hard DC while stealth, or acrobatics, might have an easy one. For example, if it's Brutus' turn when they get to the flooded district...
