I consider all of it a bait for the DM. My current group does this quite a bit and we'll occasionally flaunt our vulnerabilities out loud or just play dumb until the monster is right where we want them. And you can see it in his eyes, debating on the merits of such an attack. I find opportunity...

Reprieve Cleric Orison Your hand to the air, the words of your deity spark renewal and rejuvenation in the meek and helpless. At-Will * Divine, Healing Minor Action Close burst 5 Requirement: This power cannot be used against active combatant. All targets must be followers of your...

Divine Orisons Those damn, dirty wizards think they can have all the at-wills they want and no one else will try to mimic that "0-level" feel? Not if the clerics have anything to do with it. Create a divine at-will power designed to function as a flavor power, similar to the wizard cantrips...

This one's inspired by Earthdawn... Astral Sight At-Will * Arcane Minor Action * Ranged 10 Effect: You can see the magical energies flowing through a magic item as if you succeed in an Arcana check. You cannot decipher any of the magic item's properties without an additional Arcana check as per...

I don't know about OfficeWriter, but you're asking for hair pulling with Word. It really depends, though, on just how crazy you'd like to go. The Le used to swear by using Word to do all his work, but I found it problematic to what I wanted when I tried it years ago. You have very little control...

Not a problem, that's what these exercises are all about.

By that token, not referring a large number of creatures in any 3pp violates the GSL. My personal opinion is that you're perfectly safe to simply reference races you choose to use and simply leave out references to the others. Odds are a player will pop one of the banished races anyway and the...

Arcane Cantrips One of the best things I like about the 4E wizard are cantrips - those little at-wills with so many possible applications in and out of combat, it's just screaming for a halfling or gnome wizard to drop a vase on someone's head. But we all know there used to be much, much more...

Dude! Like...whoa.

Agreed. Should be fine. I would suggest not making a point of omitting them, however. Just never reference them.

It should be someone who steps up and simply starts putting out those kind of reviews WITHOUT being hired, promoted, or anything. Any film reviewer worth their salt got to that point by actually doing the work and establishing their reviews as timely, reliable, and fair. I'm not talking about...

OBS (AKA OneBookShelf, who runs RPGNow and DriveThruRPG) are supposed to be close to having POD up and running on their sites again. When that happens, you'll be able to set up PDF and POD sales simultaneously and the market has changed since this last happened. For small time publishers like...

Gaining combat advantage (a +2, really) in exchange for suffering additional damage doesn't quite seem worth the effort compared to Counterstance. Nothing's coming to mind myself, but something more than combat advantage would be needed to convince me to take this feat. Also, being knocked...

Defensive Powers They say the best offense is a good defense and that applies to combat more than anything else. There are defensives boosts in 4E, but I personally find them few and far between. That changes today. Build a feat available to any character (you may designate a minimum class...

Very nice, everyone. I particularly like Ismaul's Animate druid power and Boil wizard power. But I notice everything's pretty much saved for the heroic tier. Anyone want to take a crack at paragon or epic powers?

Really, that's the best reason to get into this: passion. At least, that's what I'm hoping too. When you have a realistic expectation for results (which is little), it's really requires passion to push forward and keep it up.

Agreed. In order to make worth your effort, you'll more than likely have to run in the thousands to keep your costs low(er) but if the demand for your product is too low, you're left with a lot of Christmas gifts in storage. Starting off with Lulu will give you an idea of how risky this venture...

Finishing Moves Ah, Gencon has come and gone. Pathfinder sold out like mad, WFPG is releasing a 3rd edition, and Dark Sun returns next year. Very cool indeed, especially Dark Sun. One of the major attributes of Athas was the environment and its impact on the game unlike most other D&D worlds...

Dark sun!!!

There's another series of caves, but I'll have to pop in Planet Earth DVDs to find them. There is a cavern made almost entirely of crystal (or a crystal-like substance) and it's absolutely breathtaking. Closed to the public too so it can be preserved forever.
