If you wanna make the "Improved ---" powers work, I suggest you add the following to the feats: I've always hated anything that's just a flat bonus. That's why I rarely take Skill Focus, and I'm not gonna take Expertise unless I'm using a build that requires it, like a low-stat or low-Prof...

For the record (for those who don't know), they were created for certain games (like M:tG) where you need to keep track of a number, like a Life Total. You can start it on the "20", and since the numbers spin around and downwards, it's easy to just spin down a few numbers if you take a few...

I'm not sure about these "+1 proficiency" bits. Really, no weapon standing has less than +2, and since we're not using half damage, there's no need to lower the bonus. As long as the Smashing value stays at 1-3, it should be fine. Really, -1 attack isn't worth a few damage on a miss. I'd leave...

Well, that's why we have Smashing 1 for the usual 1-handed weapons and even lighter weapons, and Smashing 2 and even 3 for heavier, two-handers. And while Wizards does tend to key weapon types to ability scores, that's for actual weapon groups (axes, blades, etc...) not qualities. Not to...

That is far too powerful. The only way I'd even think of using something like that would be along the lines of: Smashing 1:When you miss with an attack using this weapon and you would not otherwise deal damage on a miss, you deal 1 damage. If you are wielding the weapon in two hands, you deal...

Xp strikes me as a very... blah sort of gift, really. However, suggesting XP as a gift shows that she's okay with in-game gifts... just make it a little more interesting. Like "Plot Twist" cards, for example. Give her 3-5 little cards that say "Plot Twist" on them. Whenever she wants, she can...

So you don't get people who are class or edition neutral voting for one or the other just because there's no other option. That's what I assumed, anyway.

Why don't you just buy hide and say it looks like chainmail? That's what I'm doing with a couple of characters; I have a Ranger in a game where all of the players are knight-style characters, so his hide is actually a light breastplate and a set of greaves. A fighter character I had uses scale...

Because when they left the Oracle's place, they forgot everything that happened there except the answers to their questions.

I dunno. First thing I think of (mechanically, anyway) is a Ranger. With a pair of handaxes and all the powers that allow for both two-weapon fighting and multiple ranged attacks, it makes a pretty good setup. I have a dagger-wielding archery ranger that actually works really well, despite the...

I think the Double-Sword is a great choice, yeah, bu I don't see it as overpowered, not at all. It becomes an obvious choice for certain things; Rogues, Tempest Fighters, and so on. But then, D&D has always had tons and tons of "obvious choices", so that's really no big change. Plus, I REALLY...

I love the new Barbarian preview, both mechanically and thematically. But I tend to agree with those that say the Rage Strike power is a little too clunky, and I also believe it's a little... bland. So, I just had a random idea on the bus today, and figured I'd see how it goes over, or if there...

I don't have the time to look right now, but hasn't Rich Burlew specifically stated that there are no players, and that it's just a world that follows D&D rules? I'm fairly certain I remember seeing a similar discussion to this one before, and that's exactly how that one ended. And even if he...

Think of it this way; go off and do something. Anything; homework, fighting, video games, whatever you feel like. Now, try and do that with some guy sitting behind you, constantly smacking you in the back of the head, and incessantly yelling at you. Probably flinging a bit of spittle in your...

Probably because Archery Style gives you a weak feat and nothing else, while Two Blade Style gives you a decent feat in addition to a powerful special ability. Which makes them not actually equivalent in overall power level.

Here's hoping they kept +Wis. and +Cha. Mystic Paladins are my favorite, and having a race with the primary and secondary stats boosted would be awesome. Plus, the Aasimar always were paladin/cleric focused.

I've been squarely on the side of WotC for most of the 4e stuff, but really. 75$ for a single book might not be too bad... if it had the leather cover, better production quality and all that jazz. Oh yeah, and if it weren't only four bloody months after the release of the new edition. "Deluxe"...

Please tell me that's for the set, not per-book. A shiny cover, new art and a few tabs is nowhere near enough for 75$ times three. I like the idea of a reprint with the errata, especially since I haven't actually gotten the books myself yet, but not for that much. By the way, do you have a link?

Rain of Blows is definitely only 3 attacks. Note that the Secondary Attack is not part of the "Hit:" line, rather it's part of the "Weapon:" line. Therefore, it applies only once, since you're only using the power once. Also note that this means you don't actually have to hit with either of the...

I think having access to multiple power sources is something that should be paid for. I'd say that you choose one power source, and access to extra power sources should cost 1p each. This won't mess up your "recreate the classes" deal, since none of the classes use multiple sources as is. Then...
