    I am forseeing problems with feats

    From what I understand, it's not that feats will really be less powerful, it is more than some things that were feats will now become class powers. Anything that give you an active action/choice (power attack, improve trip, improve disarm, whirlwind attack, spring attack) will become one (or...

    D&D 4E 4e Rulebook for DDM is up!

    That's what I would think too (doesn't Star Wars Saga use full level for defenses ?), but I think that they have already confirmed (in Races and classes or in a interview) that the BaB and defenses would be 1/2 level. (the exact quote was about all 10 level character having +5 to attacks...

    D&D 4E 4e Rulebook for DDM is up!

    Note that from what we already know, base attack, defenses, and skills won't increase each level, but each other level. So the dwarf warlord should get only +6 to attack and defenses from his level. But of course, it then become harder to justify such high attack bonuses, so I expect 4th...

    Can the Fighter be Real and Equal to spellcasters?

    If you start as a fighter to get the needed feat to access a prestige class that give some spells, does it means that the fighter get spells ? So why do you use this exemple about the warblade ? To their credit, they have made those classes both useful for 20 levels, and great to take a few...

    Can the Fighter be Real and Equal to spellcasters?

    Seems like you didn't read Bo9S. Know that there are 3 bases classes in the book : - crusader (a paladin remade with some martial and surnatural maneuvers instead of spells) - swordsage (sort of surnatural fighter, a cross beetween a monk and a wizard with swift buff spells) - warblade (a...

    D&D 4E A mystery Race in 4E FRCG (Rich Baker scoop)

    I don't believe it will be Orcs, because there are not a FR specific race. Why would they put Orcs in FR, what about Eberron where there already are an almost playable race ? And i wouldn't want them to be only in Eberron and not available in other campaign settings. I expect to get the rules...

    War Pick; ?d8

    instead of the "prof." value being a malus to users without the proficiency, what if it was a bonus to users with it ? We know that AC, like all defenses, will increase with level, but there are several things adding to it : AC = 1/2 level + Dex (depending on armor) + armor + shield To...

    Warlocks and other Ranged touchers?

    Plus: all classes will probably have a unified base attack bonus of 1/2 total level (and maybe a small *fixed* bonus depending on the class) Fighters will attack with Str + 1/2 level against AC Warlock probably attacks with cha +1/2 level against AC or Reflex That's what I think will probably...

    D&D 4E 4e Spell Casting Questions

    About the fixed base attack bonus, I think that it might not be a bonus to melee/ranged/magic/... attacks, but rather a fixed bonus on all attack rolls made with a specific ability. For exemple fighters might get +3 to Str based attacks Rogues and rangers +3 to dex based attacks Wizards +3 to...

    Warlocks = evil?

    I wonder if some feral warlocks could be made into a druid-like character. Not the 3.5 druid that can wildshape/blast/heal, but part of this concept (probably with lots of curses and attack spells with a fey theme) From what we know, the druid class in 4e will be mainly a shapeshifter with...

    Homebrewing per Encounter Spells

    The problem here is that some spells, whatever level they be, can be abused if allowed to work like that. Don't forget that "per encounter", outside combat is equivalent to "at will" (I suppose that it will works like in Tome of Battle) So by switching to "per encounter" all low levels spells...

    Spells using a Point Pool?

    I note that there were talks about a spell pool; not spell points. English is not my first language, but I think that a system not unlike the maneuvers from Tome of Battle used for "per encounter" spells/powers would ineed have a "spell pool" : a pool a spells that can each be used once until...

    Dragonborn: A bit of blue-skying

    What if dragoborn is just the name some lizardfolks give to themselves ? Take a tribe of lizardmen, add the same legends about behing descended/affiliated to dragons that the kobolds use, tell that only some very rare legendary heroes/shaman/sorceres sometimes develop dragon-like abilities...
