I don't mean to disrespect the work you've done and the creativity behind it. What you've made will do the job for others, but it doesn't seem to fit with me. If you do go for playing 4th, one of the new paradigms is a simplified skill system. Instead of 4th edition's broad skills it...

Race: Githyanki as folks have pointed out. Class: Infernal Warlock - multi-classing to Swordmage. I'm thinking that the Warlock's temp hit points and cursing with whatever the swordmage MC ability is, and a few of the sword mage defender powers could be a nice combo. Use your pact blade as...

Check what javascript and cookie settings you have. I'm on 2.0.0.14 and had no issues. (Are you on 3?)

Read the news update. This is only the initial cut. I'm a helluva lot more concerned about date entry errors and the current "updates" not making it in. Well, I hope we can expect them to be fixed.... In regards to the Warlock Pact Boons, it seems like 'class features' had to be fitted...

Dig the sheet! What I like best about it is that it _doesn't_ have much space for powers. I intend to use power cards for the details. What I'm looking for on the front of a sheet is stuff I need to mark and conditional modifiers. What is missing from this one: Ways to indicate which items...

Try the reverse. Be a warlock and multi-class into paladin. You only get to Divine Challenge once per encounter, but as I read it, it lasts the encounter as long as you keep attacking the target. (Unlike Hunter's Quarry, which doesn't according to the Update.) As you move away from the big...

Yeah. I think of it as an intimidation by the fighter. Even if you run away from him, you are still shaken, still fear him in the back of your mind. If you don't deal with him, there is still a part of your brain that is wondering... is he coming to get me? Thus, -2 to attacking anyone else.

There's a few different answers to this. The first is playability. Replacing powers keeps the choices of the players (and what the DM has to be prepared for) at a manageable level. Second reason: reconceptualize the replacement. You're not 'replacing' one power with another - you're...

Yep. And if your prime stat isn't shared with another class, the pickins are slim. So I second the pick of "Hit and Run" so my warlock can get out of melee without an OA.

I have to say that I like the orb. Not just the save or die on the big bad, but in a big battle extending the duration of a bad AoE zone another round for the rest of the party to knock the bad guys into it could also be an encounter-winning power.

Enjoy yourself, and if everyone else at the table thinks this is a fun way to play the game.... knock yourself out. But not at my table, thank you.

Well, it depends. Is visiting the local alchemist/wise woman/sage/wizard school going to be a part of the story? Otherwise, why bother? I think that's part of 4th that I'm trying to get into my head. I grew up on wargames before I began playing 1st edition and counted days of iron rations and...

Half-Elf warlock. Not unusual. Half-Elf Warlock/Paladin. Neat. Star Pact uses Con and Charisma and a Radiant Energy At Will. Paladin has ranged Charisma attacks, a Radiant Energy Vulnerability attack, Divine Challenge that the Warlock can use for damage once and -2 attack debuff. Here's a...

Yep, no other class has a use for wisdom _and_ perception as a class skill. Wisdom is one of two key stats for clerics. Wizards also have a few uses for wisdom. But they don't have perception as a class skill. They'll need to either spend a feat for it, or perhaps be Eladrin. Either way it...

I've been checking out the warlock. I read about the Raven Queen and something just CLICKED. Never having wanted to play a paladin before, and now I've got a warlock multi-classed to paladin, Enforcer of Fate, servant of the Raven Queen. :cool: Anyway. I've got an excel sheet of warlock...

And where is the fun when the neat-sounding ability (say, Tieflings burninating things with fire) runs up against the reality in the game where so many things will be resistant or immune? My neat sounding ability, my hoped for contribution to the group, my tool in my quest, is useless against...

How many of your PCs could you make in 3.5 with only the PHB, DMG, MM? For your Gith, did you use optional level buy off (srd but not core, and not in the beginning of 3.5) or did you start 4 levels below everyone else? Also for your gith, note that when the warforged got their write up in the...

Make components harvestable from magical creatures. Being detailed in this would take a LOT of work. But you could abstract it, with a very simple formula, something like 1 "comp unit" per hit die of magical critter. A ritual would consume X "comp units" to cast. Tweak the rate to suit your...

What I think isn't necessary? Squares instead of 5'. If they wanted to simplify diagonal movement, why not just use hexes? I'm very bummed that they've eliminated the schools of magic. To me, that was a nice bit of immersive fluff that should have received more crunch support. I am not...

Ok - that is better that we can import our own images. That is new information to me. So, Scott, you're aware of how kick ass the competition is? You'll certainly have instant market share over them - no doubt. And I'm not complaining about the cost given the other features (though...
