    D&D 4E Forked Thread: Some Thoughts on 4e

    Seriously, that's cool, but isin't that lame ? Since invisibility is rarer it means it's less present and there's MUCH less countermeasure against it. This now means that almost every ill-willed wizard can now steal ANYTHING(yes the players remember the trick from 3e)... This sort of...

    Paragon Multiclassing vs. Paragon Path

    Yeah like the caracter concept that really dosen't fit any paragon path... we all like that one :P Honest to god, I HATE inventing stuff thats not in the books, but I made up 2 paragon paths inspired by what existed before. Feels like they worked out fine. I really can't see why someone would...

    Dragon 368 - Death Matters (But Never Happens)

    I guess we've all had different experiences. I'm a pretty savage DM that really like to put the PC teams though hard situations, and so far in 4e, for all my encounters I gaged savantly the encounter so that they were hard, fun and mattered. My observations tho showed that 1) The combats...

    Can a Dazed character use an Action Point?

    What about "Pushing the villain's ability when the heroe thought he'd taken him out of the round? Surprising you, and his team, by being extra cool?"

    D&D 4E Some Thoughts on 4e

    What I mean is that a lot that has been changed in the core mechanic was changed for balance purposes. I'm putting myself in the thread host's position. What his friends that deny 4e are seeing is not what's new and cool, but whats been removed/nerfed/changed for the worse like what ronin...

    Charismatic Blademaster?

    It's not that it's overpowerly too strong. It's just that it's a path you don't want to take. Opening up this kind of feat and then you have people that want to distort everything to match their best abilities. I encountered this situation a coupple of times, and it sucks, but i trusted the...

    D&D 4E Some Thoughts on 4e

    Luckily with all the new material thats coming, there will be new feats, and new variants which will diversify and maybe bring back some flavor to this insipid game. Since your next game is not for tomorrow, Have some faith my friend, and house rules are made to please everyone. Be careful not...

    is it possible to multiclass?

    IF you want to, you can check the class templates DMG p182. I think this might need some forkeage if it leads to a PC/NPC discussion in a multiclassing thread. How can you tell your players what the highest lvl NPC in town is ??? I mean you could give them an approximate idea, but really is...

    is it possible to multiclass?

    yes you do. I dont understand why should I PC party composed of a lvl 15 warlord, wizard, cleric and rogue should absolutely OWN a NPC party composed of a lvl 15 warlord, wizard, cleric and rogue. Makes no sense to me. I do however that this is the way the game is designed, and that only a...

    Standing up from prone

    The whole issue is that standing up dosent provoke AoO and the whole ruleset has as a guideline that noone can share squares. So what happens if you stand up but your square is occupied, CS or PHB ruled that you can shift freely, which as you say is indeed riduculous if you couldn't do it...

    is it possible to multiclass?

    Yes I actually do, and it dosent take that much time, plus I dont have to complete it up to a PC level, but even if unfinished, it's still a lot more complete and consequent then just some random NPC with unbalanced abilities. I'm saying this is appropriate for the campaign i'm making, which...

    is it possible to multiclass?

    Wow have you guys even tried to multiclass ??? I'm runnign a huge game in which I don't particularly enjoy having npcs with the same built. I used to have around 300npcs (50 had complete sheets) before we switched to 4e, I now narrowed it down to 20 with complete sheets, and about 17 out of...

    How broken is energy substitution?

    Nooooo I have been wronged !!! shame... You guys play too much WoW :P (or not) It's funny tho, because french is my first language, and the myrrian-webster is an english dictionnary :P In french one third is written "un tiers". I guess ive been mislead as everything with tiers that i know...

    Followup Damage

    Unfortunately I believe Hypersmurf is only stating the rules and not his opinion. If they're really badly designed it's not his fault !!! (Commander's strike is full of issues, thats a fact)

    How broken is energy substitution?

    Saeviomagy: I know this is pointless and ridiculous semantics but I think tiers comes from three :P or one third if you prefer, thats why theres always just 3 tiers ^^ nightspaladin: meet my solarplated vampirelord immortal npc^^

    Aura question...

    No because the other answer is equally no. You take the damage when you enter the aura and when you begin your turn inside it. The aura entering your square does not count, this damage is dealt when you start your turn for this principle.

    Can you lower your own hitpoints?

    The bloodied value is there for a reason, it is a specific treshold designed by DnD to trigger your will to live/most basic instincts. As everyone else said, no you cannot. it's kinda like getting in a fight, some guy is annoying you, you reply back, he then punches you in the head but in a...
