We also have only 2 players at the moment, so we are each controlling 2 PC's and the DM runs for 4. Another idea I had that we're trying very soon is to have one PC, but double its uses of encounter & daily powers, double its HP, give it two turns per round, and treat the two characters as a...

OP, you're killing me. Mind Spike is GOD. It lives in heaven and is attended by seraphim, who have six wings apiece. Why do I need an opportunity attack when I can shift as an opportunity action and then cram 25-odd force & psychic damage into someone's cerebellum?

:lol:

You said it, man.

Except this hypothetical person still doesn't have DDI. I know it's crazy, but not everyone has DDI.

Hey thanks. Uhm. "Duh", as the kids say. It's not a big deal if everything is automatically fixed for you and you don't even use your printed copy. If you don't use DDI, you're still making the old stuff (or you're working off a printed piece of errata). And if you show up with old stuff at a...

First off, you could probably be less defensive. Second off, make me a tiefling flail fighter with the stealth skill and Rain of Blows using only your PHB, then show up with it at an RPGA event or D&D encounters.

You're kidding, right? There's over 100 pages of "errata". My first print PHB is meaningless to current 4e, I sold it weeks ago online for $12.50.

It's going to "do damage" with a sneak attack/backstab mechanic, and have a bunch of miscellaneous "thief" abilities to go along with that. It will be ruinously boring.

Ok, so, the sprite rips are awesome. Period. However, how do you make these things...well, to be frank (heh), how do you actually game with them? I mean...if I print out a bunch of paper tokens, they're going to last maybe 1-2 sessions and then be useless from wear. Are people laminating them...

That's a pretty great idea. It's not comprehensive, and you'd see repeats after a tier of play, but I'd love to play around with this.

This is really exciting stuff! I've been waiting to play a Thri-kreen without penalties since 2e!

I know, right?

Here might be a good place to mention that we already use 1 action point per encounter, just to make it less of a pain to track. You either use it, or lose it.

Ok. The other day over at RPG.net, I was complaining about my players' inability to track their stinking healing surges, and someone suggested that he tracks healing surges with red poker chips, and that he considers them to be trophies. Well, I just cooked up an awesome mechanic for something...

Ok, first, props for having the stones to post such a radical idea. That said, I played around with this in the character builder for a while, trying several classes and builds. Here is what I noticed in my playing: -healing surge quantity and value is very high, as is HP in general; the...

That you know of. Also, many players who play with The Fizban in the party, I've noticed, will often do the opposite of what he suggests just to screw with the DM. DM: Fizban thinks it's a bad idea to go with Kitiara... Tanis: Oh, FIZBAN thinks so? Well, I'll go, and I'll like it! That's...

Well, yeah. Quarry is a minor action. Activating bloodclaw is a free action. Since you can use free actions even when it's not your turn (such as right before you take an opportunity attack), there's absolutely no reason you can't do it multiple times per round unless your DM says no. So what...

Don't forget that battlerager got a recent nerf.

That would be such an amazingly fun Leader class to play in 4e. No, You Idiot! Instructor Daily 1 "How many times do I have to tell you?" Daily * Martial? Standard Action Close burst 5 Target: One ally Effect: The target makes an at-will attack against an enemy of your choice, and gains a...
