    Multiclassing.

    I loved having 4 classes in 6 levels. Building interesting combinations was one of the most interesting parts of the game for me. 4e clearly doesn't support that, and frankly, so far it's the only thing I'll miss about 3e.

    THIS makes a bard a bard

    I, for one, want my arcane leader bard to be blasting enemies with sonic damage while bolstering his allies as per the cleric's radiant attacks that grant AC or Temp HP. Give him some lore abilities, history as a constant trained skill, a charismatic and dexterous build options. The image of a...

    Custom Paragon Paths

    A temporal paradox occurs when you have an action that cancels itself out. Say you go back in time and kill your dad before you are born. He dies and you aren't born so you can't go back in time to kill him so he lives, so he has you and you go back and kill him so he doesn't have you...ad...

    Neceros' Landscape Character Record Sheet

    Considering most status effects last only one round unless you keep blowing your save, unless you're using wet erase pens on a plastic sheet, this section is going to be erasered though pretty quickly. I'm guessing most groups will take to using cards or tokens or I even heard of colored rubber...

    D&D 4E 4E: What 3.x problem did it fix for you?

    Trap that are usable. And pit traps that aren't worth more than the things they're defending.

    My attempt at a martial controller: The Monk

    I read through the thread and this doesn't seem to be mentioned anywhere; There aren't full round actions anymore. And as far as I can tell move actions aren't used for anything except moving. So I would probably makethis a class feature akin to "spend a minor action to add your strength...

    D&D 4E My First 4E Game: Disappointing. Yours? (UPDATED with player feedback)

    I've run a couple of games with the PHB lite rules and I must say they've been very successful. The first game I ran was a series of encounters only. There were four players each using one of the pre-gen characters. What impressed me most about 4e as we've seen it is that I designed and ran 5...

    Tome of Treasures becomes Adventurer's Vault

    Boy, you said it. Having magic items a solid part of the math will go a long way to making sure the group is just where it needs to be. I remember reading in a designer's blog about how magic items will have a level attached to them so it's obvious when they are intended to be used. And he...

    To pregen playtesters of the paladin, did you ever run out of surges?

    My girlfriend was playing a tiefling paladin in our playtest and she came really close to running out. By the end of the last fight she was using a lay on hands every round to stay in the fight. The rest of the group consisted of a halfing rogue and an eladrin warlock. The game ran...

    If they ever do a Drizzt movie....

    The drizzt saga would never work as a movie. HBO or Showtime orginal series. One book per season. Have various actors play drizzt each season. Like the Bond movies.

    Anyone have a concept for a Divine striker or controller?

    My first thought was monk as a divine striker. I always saw 3e monks as caster killers so the role of striker isn't far off in my mind. If you look at the number and variety of abilities that little stunning fist pool could power by the end of 3e there's certainly a theme built up around the...

    Question about the stats.

    I just got the monster compilation, many thanks for that, but I was reading through it an I noticed that while all the ability modifiers seem to go up at a rate of .5/level, this modifier doesn't seem to get added to damage, only the base modifier (before adding level adjustment) is added. I'm...

    Critical Hit with Fireball!

    I dislike the idea of saves being a static defense. It has the benefit of cutting down on die rolls which I appreciate as a GM, but it has significant potential to hose a wizard/artillery role or significantly reduce the threat of an encounter. Let me explain. Imagine an homogeneous group of...

    D&D 4E 4E: What we think we know

    4th edition? I really hope it isn't like Saga. I like the complexity and obscurity of D&D. I had exhausted all the interesting builds in Saga in about a week of getting the book. And there are several significant rules changes that don't make sense, such as a full round action including your...

    Putting Corpses in the Bag of Holding

    We use a portable hole for this. Basically after combat, but before our spells wear off, we kick all the bodies into the hole and get ready for the next combat. When the casters are out of spells we evac and sit down with the wand of identify and check everything out.

    Ability Score Survival, Round 1 - FIGHT!

    Charisma is in no way the weakest stat in D&D, core or otherwise. There are far too many Charisma centered power builds for that to be the case. If it weren't for the hit point boost, I would probably say that Constitution is the weakest. How often do you see that as the core stat for a class...

    CoC 6th Edition. Some questions.

    As a long time CoC and D&D3.x GM, there are some things that I believe the BRP does a little better. I like the Luck, Knowledge and Idea mechanics, they're great catch-alls. I like that you can have a character experienced in combat starting out. Which, due to the BAB mechanic is simply not...
