I started at the very beginning of 3E's lifecycle, though I owned AD&D 2nd ed books but had never played until years after i'd already started playing 3.0. Not entirely relevant, but i actually have a recent experience (actually an experience-in-progress) that i think is worth contrbuting to...

This is exactly how I feel about it, and I'll chime in with others in reminding everyone that this is just one sorcerer build. Sure, D&D has a lot of things that are set in stone as 'feeling' like D&D, but there needs to be room for new stuff as well, and this is new stuff done right. It is...

A lot of the things you say here are not good endorsements of your preferred game style, and even makes you sound like a huge hypocrite. In particular your contempt for anything new and/or anything with a structure that allows players a large number of options. You complain that the new...

Screw that. I'm making sure that not only will my enemy not come back, but anybody else who considers trying what you did or getting revenge on me thinks twice about it. I might not render a 'fate worse than death' unto every enemy, but i would do it when it might make a difference, or is...

Im apologizing. WotC screwed us on this one, and so my money goes bye-bye. I hate the entire concept of an online CB.

And now the Rapier is a Military weapon as of the most recent Character Builder update.

Theres a feat for this for Beastmaster Rangers called Beast rider. Your DM was right to not allow riding the beast though, its a bit powerful as an option and despite what the tunnelvision optimizers say the Small size drawbacks aren't bad enough to warrant the versatility a free mount would...

This poster is speaking sense. Why in the heck would you not make that Frost weapon, or that Thunderwave staff, a character-defining, gets-stronger-when-you-do item with a unique history, description, name, etc? If i were that player and you my DM i would love you to pieces for making my magic...

First things first: I squeal like a little girl at getting the job of my nerdy dreams. Then... 1. 4E is my moneymaker, and a great game to boot, so i keep pushing it along as its going now. 4E does fast-paced over-the-top action better than any other system, period, and I wouldnt want to change...

Elves. To me they're just pointy-eared humans who live in the woods, but psionics is irreplaceable to me as a concept. Its the power of mind over matter, raw willpower reshaping the world without capricious external energies coming into play, phenomenal cosmic power gained solely through your...

This is pretty much how i feel too. if you don't like 4E as is, odds are you want a game that does something completely different from what 4E is designed for - which by the way is over-the-top, epic action fantasy just a step below Exalted but several steps above 3.5. If you want old dungeon...

Every soldiers first, last and most important job is to kill efficiently. Don't let hollywood or a mistaken belief propagated by god-knows-who convince you otherwise.

I love me some psionics, and always have. I play psionic characters more than magic-users if the option is available, because psionics makes sense and just feels more personal than arcane, divine, primal, shamanistic etc. magic, and i don't believe it 'doesn't fit' in a Fantasy setting, heck in...

So what you're trying to say is you REALLY REALLY REALLY HATE ELADRIN. Amirite?

This. I would LOVE to see the Paladin Mount return, as a summonable creature like what 3.5 did. That was the best idea WotC ever came up with (Well, next to the Tome of Battle classes) and it made Paladins awesome and mounted combatants viable as adventurers without having to be saddled with a...

I'll probably buy the Pathfinder PDF, and i would play but not run it if i had no other gaming options or a really awesome PF game came up. I vastly prefer 4e to all other games as both a player and DM thanks to the excellent tools available through DDI. The Character Builder has spoiled me...

I did this to avoid some potential issues with stuff like TWF and TWD which explicitly require you to be holding two melee weapons. I suppose i could add something into the class feature like 'you are always considered to be wielding/holding two melee weapons', and problem solved.

I changed the class feature to better accomplish its goal and altered the wording on the feats to be less abusable, and also added a new weapon, Knuckles.

Interesting thoughts from everyone. Now that i've gotten some initial feedback, let me share my reasons for some of the design decisions: First off, i realized that in order to make unarmed combat viable as a ranger fighting style, it needed to stand up to established patterns the class as a...

A friend of mine who is an excellent DM but a terrible homebrewer needed a way to put playable and not-weak unarmed combat back into 4e, so i decided to take some advice from WotC and others and came up with this simple Ranger variant and these feats to serve that purpose. Give me your honest...
