I've toyed with this in many different iterations. Here's something I wrote almost 2 years ago when I was working on it. Part 1 and 2 are background information that works out how and why the 4e systems works the way it does. Part 3 has the injury mechanics. Part 1 Part 2 Part 3 Hope this...

I have not seen it but from conversations about it, it seems to be a much expanded version of the first encounter of the adventure.

I do disagree with that. If your assertion was correct this adventure would be a ton of work to run in any edition, at this time. The adventure requires some work, not a ton - in any edition. This is work that most DMs are willing to do, and have been doing since D&D was merely a twinkle on...

This should not seem "odd" at all. Wizards use an entirely different system for their effectiveness. In 3e all the wizard's spellcasting ability was tied to one single attribute (INT). But the fighter/ranger/rogue had to spend resources on two different attributes if they wanted to be...

Our playtesting group played in a weekly Dark Sun campaign for about 6 months after the Campaign Setting came out. During that time every player had at least one character die, and I believe one player had six character deaths, in one of those he returned as a revenant. Dark Sun was fun, and...

I haven't found this to be true with my group, or with 4e as a whole. As a matter of fact I've had more PC deaths with 4e than with all other previous editions combined. What 4e does is provide a very good fighting chance to the PCs, and the ability to have a heroic comeback. It also let's...

Campaign Cartographer with Fractal Terrains, both by Profantasy, are able to do what you are talking about. Fractal Terrains includes geological data that will map earth as it currently stands, and from what I understand of it you can lower and raise the level of the seas so that underwater...

No, how unlikely - aren't they all? If you had said that the dwarf was highborn, a gentleman, and could handle dealing with the rough streets as likely as the queen's court I would have been very surprised.

Inherent bonuses account for some of this to make magic bonuses something that is not necessary to level the math. This allows the DM to have a high-magic or low magic campaign suited to taste. However, too many things are tied to stats (skills, damage, attack, defense). The mathematical...

If I stopped talking to "friends" of mine because of game choices I don't think I would have considered them friends to begin with. Really remote acquaintances would seem more likely, and if game choices created that type of a rift then I think that I wouldn't want to be playing any game with...

LOL

You can't categorize all of their stuff in the same boat. Some stuff from Goodman Games, I'm thinking about the stuff from Blackdirge, was actually pretty good. Some other stuff was average, and there was some that was plainly below average. As for understanding of 4e mechanics we need only...

The power's HIT line shows "Intelligence modifier psychic damage, and you push the target up to 3 squares." Therefore the only damage is the INT modifier. However, this is an implement power so any implement bonus will also apply in the case the wizard is using a magic implement.

No different than what we do, when a fight is irrelevant.

I've been organizing these games since well before the first season, and if they have not been selling product is because of silly restrictions and rules imposed by WotC not because people are not willing to buy products on the stores. When Essentials came out the focus shifted entirely to...

That is one of the biggest dangers of jumping into Epic, heck even Paragon, with no previous experience with the character abilities. I see the appeal of an Epic one-shot, but to me it does a disservice to the players and to the game overall. Epic is and can be very fun, but there are a lot of...

Seems like your "vision" is not shared either, but let's leave it at that.

Got it, 4e is not D&D. Well done, deep insight there. :yawn:

Patching something after it's been created is a viable option, but it has to be created first. And more importantly why go that route if you could have implemented it from creation? No warlord currently exists so what is there to patch? In addition, it is actually better to not have to patch...

I hope never to be even in the same zip code with that player. :lol:
