For odd groups, flip a coin. Heads, it requires half the group rounded up to succeed. Tails, it requires half the group rounded down to succeed. Let the characters roll the skill checks first, and let the coin (or dice, of course) be the deciding factor if only half the players rounded down...

Swashbuckling, bottle of rum, and a flintlock pistol. A parrot familiar and a large hat helps.

(4E) We, including me the Halfling Fighter|Cleric, my brother the Bard, and my good friend the Minotaur Barbarian Banotis (a recurring character in many different campaigns. And there's meant to be a ~ over the n, so it's Banyotis essentially.) As we approached the final room of the sunken...

Well, some powers are very similar. In more recent supplements, the heterogeneity has increased substantially, especially considering Essentials. I think a more accepted approach is the mechanical homogeneity. While a Brute Strike (3 x Weapon Damage) and a Sleep (At first Slowed, and if fail...

I agree with these ideas. I challenge you, however, to find me the fighter and rogue powers that resurrect, or anything of the sort. There might be an oddity here and there, just like in any edition and in any game (Come and Get It comes to mind, but even that was errata'd to be a Str vs. Will...

Let's Plays are videos of full playthroughs of a game from beginning to end. It's generally not truncated and shows the entire game completely. I didn't read the law or anything, and I have no expertise in that area, but that's what a Let's Play is to be sure everyone's on the same page.

delericho Downtime I think is left out because it's not the game, it's the in between. If it ever becomes part of the game, it's roleplaying or exploration usually. I guess it boils down to different definitions/core principles. Seems like the only divergence with the Mearls Article as far as...

The Death and Afterlife of Fourthcore | Save Versus Death Sad news for me. I had so much fun running the first Saturday night delve, Revenge of the Iron Lich, but at least (maybe?) the next two in the series are still going to be published. That's what the post implied anyway. Based on what I...

You can disallow it or make all of the feats available to everyone. Mark of Healing in particular is great for most any healer, Mark of Storm + Lyrandar windrider PP is great for lightning based builds. I'm pretty sure one one of the Marks gives you full ritual casting plus a little something...

Be sure to read all of that, like that it's a one-shot deal, and only 4 miniatures. Not really a replacement for DDM, but could be cool. A bit rich for my tastes though.

This is probably obvious, but such predictions bother me. No one will care if they are wrong, as they will be forgotten. But if they're right, woo!!!, they've predicted the future and know a ton about how D&D as a business works. Other than that, Fourthcore has quite a few of those design goals...

This Cleric Guide on char-op Whoops! Browser Settings Incompatible ranks 3 Strength-based paragon paths ahead of Angelic Avenger, with a lot of more of equal rank. It's annoying that the cleric in your party doesn't benefit as much, but at worst the Cleric should get Master at Arms(Heavy Blade...

Well, +2/1d10 is morningstar, which I guess is the best Simple 2-hander. Fullblade is +3/1d12, which is a pretty good Superior 2-hander. Even assuming they made the powers usable with anything, and have the bonus be +1 to attack and +1d6 damage on simple weapons only, the superior weapon would...

First of all, amazing program! I'm getting an "Invalid markup" error on monsters from MM3, Dark Sun creature catalogue, and from the first MV. The MV:Threats to Nentir Vale seems to work fine though.

Getting a 'Dwarven Thrower' Mordenkrad, and tossing those around as a Seeker... oh lawd. Get all RBA and all the appropriate feats and items to boost RBAs, and you rarely miss and do a ton of damage. Well, not striker level, and you don't really have much control either, but if you are dedicated...

As another mentioned, don't play it just for combat. Our group loves 4e dnd for the tactical balanced combats but thats not savage worlds reason for existing. I don't like the skill and stat system not being additive like dnd or hollow earth expedition, or what have you. It was lame in my...

This. No edition wars, since I won't say and don't care if it's better or worse. Me as dm: oh, you cast dominate monster? Oh you cast hold person? You cast any multitude of save or sucks/die? Guess my monster doesn't have a turn then. I'm also not understanding why dm's care if their monsters...

Taking your healing surge in damage (not reducible) lets you reroll the attack. That's comparable to defiling in Dark Sun. Maybe surge and a half.

Heh, this is why some player's don't trust any NPC that has the detail of having a name or beyond. Either DMPC or Enemy, and those players don't like either of 'em. Of course, pepper in at least 2-3 other similar but 'good' NPC's with something good to offer the players and that willl probably...
