I can really get behind something like that, actually. Like, being able to attack a wizard indirectly by getting ahold of his spellbook... I like it. And the whole "My spell vanished!" deal was kinda bugging me, too. Thanks.

First, solo monsters only gain +2 to any three defenses, not all four. Second, a solo monster has HP equal to it's Level +1, times 8, plus Con. score. Then you take that, and mulitply it by x4 if it's level 10 or lower, or by x5 if it's level 11 or higher. Your monster would have a total of...

Oh, well yeah, if people crowd around you that much, of course it'll do mroe damage overall. But dealing 100 damage to 81 targets (including yourself, remember) is a lot different from jsut dealing 8000 damage. At the levels where you could do that much damage, your foes will have plenty of HP...

Uh... how? It deals exactly the same damage as what you lost. So, if you lose 100 HP, you deal 100 damage. Although... I'll add a limitation that temporary HP don't count for the purpose of dealing the damage. Although I don't see how anyone could get 8000 Temporary HP to let them do that, it is...

I'm set to start up an online 4e game soon, and one of my players (that I used to know personally before I moved) wants to rework one of his old 3.5 characters. We were talking about one of his favorite magic items, and I decided to remake it for 4e. I don't have any books handy right now to...

Note; It won't let me choose "Monster" as the Category for this. Anybody know why? The Goblins of Io Rak For my first adventure, of my first 4e campaign, I'm gonna be using the Pits of Io Rach idea from the old Book of Vile Darkness. And yes, I'm aware that I spelled "Io Rach" wrong. I meant...

Glitterdust: make it Int. vs. Reflex, and allow it to blind a target until the end of its next turn on a miss. No save to end the lack of invisibility, and it looks like a pretty nifty Encounter 1 spell to me.

I'd say that it still causes your targets to grant Comabt Advantage on a miss, as they stumble and wobble trying to stay up. And I'd say that instead of automatically falling prone when they end their move in the area, they simply grant CA while in the area. Auto-falling prone is a bit much like...

I don't get the problem, though. I played the Keep cleric, and I did fine. Not only did I keep our Fighter and Paladin up with Sacred Flame, I saved the whole group's ass, twice, with Beacon of Hope and some liberal use of the Healing Words. Not to mention that my Armor of Bahamut prevented...

That actually results in the faster people acting... well, not quite slower, per se, but... less quickly, I guess. It doesn't actually grant extra actions to the faster people, it just spreads what actions you do have over the entire round. This will almost entirely negate the only current...

I'm about to implement two AP ideas soon that I hope will go over well, and I have the same reservations as you. I want heroic action, not "I add +3 to my attack roll". First, you get 3 plus 1/2 level in AP per level, and you refresh 1 AP each session. Anyway, AP are rerolls. You can spend an...

Okay, aside from the fact that WAR's art kicks ass, are you people seriously saying that you would refuse to play a game for no other reason than the fact that you don't like the art? Honestly? I mean, if it were a video- or other graphics-based game, I could maybe understand, but you'd really...

I'm guessing it's something like; "Pick one suit of armor, one shield, and two weapons at first level, and you have X starting gold." Of course, different classes could have different starting gear, or whatever, but that sounds like a decent way to do things. While a wizard starting with full...

That's just a matter of wording. Saying "to a target" is a lot more elegant than saying "to the guy you're using this spell against". For the purpose of Brew Potion and the like, a spell is not a targetted spell unles it has a "Target: ~~~" entry.

Also, it should be at least a Swift action, if not a Move, to re-grasp the weapons. It's not much faster than drawing it from a sheath at all, really. Other than that, I'd think a weight that big hanging off your wrist would give at least a 5% ASF for that gnome, the same as for a buckler, which...

It could be that they just wanna save space, and the "Gain your Con bonus per level" part is in Character Creation, not each Class. If every class gains their Con bonus in HP per level, why reprint it 8 or more times? That's also what I think they're doing with the Int bonus in trained skills...

Hey, I'm trying to work on a semi-futuristic setting, either to run at some point, or just to have sitting around, and I need a bit of help. It's a futuristic world, technically, just without certain futuristic things... like guns or automobiles and the like. Those who've read Orson Scott...

For everybody that's still harping on the halfling's low strength, I'll just say it one more time and be done with it. Now, if anybody still wants to go on about it, I suggest a new thread, as this one is about weapons, and the possible meaning behind "d8". I still think the number of dice will...

He's looking to change it because it doesn't fit with his idea of the classical warlock, and I kinda agree. Nyeshet, I think reducing the range should be fine, but definitely increase the number of invocations known if you do. Onc more of each of the lowest three (Least, Lesser, Greater) should...

I assume you're taking this from the dwarf race, them being 4' tall and Medium? That sounds close, but you have to realize that dwarves are generally almost as wide as they are tall (classically), and even D&D dwarves are very bulky, which gives them their medium size. Halflings, on the other...
