I can't find where it says anything about that. Where does it say exactly how Healing Surges interact with those abilities? Honestly, I'd just say that you get +2 healing surges each time you take the HP increasing option. Maybe increase the cost to 1.5 or 2 CP if you think that makes those...

I didn't read it that way, actually. I saw it more as the fact that they were actually going to kill a bunch of babies, not that they were specifically trying to get them kicked out. I figured that'd just be an unintended side-effect. I could be wrong of course, but that's what I figured when I...

It's called realism (I assume). Where else would the women and children be, if not at the lair? Just because something's there doesn't mean it's automatically meant to be killed, even if it is small and scaly. And it's entirely possible that they were there specifically to see if the PC's would...

Thanks for the tips, guys. I think I'll be able to keep my players from getting too powerful; they're both pretty mellow about that sort of thing on their own, anyhow. And none of them are going for hackers or astral mages or anything, so that should keep things from bogging down. Thanks for...

Well, a friend of mine's just recently given me a couple Shadowrun books for 4th edition; the main rulebook and Street Magic. Since I'm one of those guys that "gets" new systems easily and tends to learn rules and such quickly, I've been tagged as our first Shadowrun GM. So, I'm wondering if...

Looks a lot better. Throwing a large shield still seems a little wierd, but hey, it's D&D, right? About the enchanting thing, though, it might work better if you create an armor enchantment that works like the Pact Blade. I don't feel like bothering with formatting at the moment, but I'm...

+3 for proficiency is too much. For one, you're cutting in on the territory of blades and the like, which are supposed to specifically be more accurate than most other weapons. Two, Thrashing about with a shield or a chunk of armor is not gonna be as accurate as a well-made sword. I'd stick with...

They actually seem a little weak for a PC race. Also, I'd change Blood Drain; as is, you're basically hittin' them with your sword to heal yourself, which doesn't quite fit. I'd make it be a minor action, require you to have your foe already Grabbed, be Str. vs. Fortitude, deal 1d4+Str...

I was addressing #2, actually. And that goes for everybody, not just your one player. Don't push them until you know how far it's safe to do so. It could end up very badly, otherwise... and I speak from experience here. I've never been much for tormenting players, so I'm afraid I wouldn't be...

Personally, I'd ask her. Just tell her you've got some wicked ideas in store, and ask her what she thinks would be too much. Everybody's limits are different, and it sounds like your player actually liked being messed with, so hers are probably a bit stretchier than most. Talk to her and find...

While I agree (and CS be damned, those guys never seem to know what's what) that you won't take multiple sets of damage when being slid through a Blade Barrier, based on the use of "Space" instead of "Square", keep in mind that forced movement has limitations based on difficult terrain, which...

I've reworked the Gestalt rules for 4e for just such a game I plan on running for a friend. It's pretty simple, and works easy for 4e; Class Features Chose two classes, gaining the class features of both. Things like HP, HP per level, healing surges per day, bonus skills trained and such...

I don't think it'd really be like that. Honestly, when you've gotta wait at least 5 minutes between 'ports, it wouldn't be convenient or efficient at all. A 30ft height takes 5 minutes to climb instead of a few seconds. I think it'd be mostly like a "normal" city, with a few changes. One: Less...

Heh. I figured out an easy way to stop Rod of Corruption'd Draconic Wrath cheese. Just say "When an enemy under the effects of your Warlock's curse is reduced to 0 HP by an effect other than Draconic Wrath..." Easy. Frightful Blast is an interesting idea, but fear effects are usually a "The...

You might wanna look at the wording on your Wand Implement Mastery abilitie. You can't use Immediate Actions (Interrupts or Reactions) on your own turn. That should be Free Action, not an Immediate Interrupt. I like that they'd be a little more than just flat bonuses or penalties now. Do you...

Yeah, the special effects of that At-Will are hugely unbalanced. The Kobold Wild-Mage's ability is nifty, but it's not meant to be a PC ability. Not a 1st level at-will, anyway. If you want it to not be horribly broken, try this; Acid: Weakened until the end of your next turn. Cold: Slowed...

Wait a sec, though. I took the masterwork armor stuff to mean that you could still have +6 plate, for example, but you couldn't have +2 godplate. Is there somewhere that it specifically says that you can't enchant normal armors past a certain bonus? Admittedly, I haven't had a chance to go...

Honestly, I think you should do that "played extensively" before you go making house rules. WotC has had 30 years to work out balance and what means what. I'm not saying they're infallible, but it's possible that they know what they're doing by now. I'm definitely going to run at least a month...

That looks pretty good. Just... a suggestion for the format of the wolf's bite and special ability. As is, it's a little clumsy, not to mention the fact that you can't take immediate actions on your turn. Wolf's Fang You gain access to this power while using the Predator Form power. Keywords...

No, it's allowed... Your target just gets an immediate Saving throw to negate it. 50% chance of failure in return for a shove off a cliff? Not too horrible... Serves the guy right for standing next to a cliff in the middle of a battle.
