    Munchkin: The multiclassing

    I know this is powergaming and I certainly wouldn't recommend it to anyone. But this is an idea to solve the multiclassing problem. The idea (very simply) is to simply apply the class templates in the DMG to the character. Obviously you'd have to change a lot of other things (perhaps have the...

    "Fun"

    Well, regardless of what these people say, remember the old axiom. Feel free to disregard any advice. Including this one. I myself will ignore the designers fixation on combat and develop the most immersive world possible to make the story as important, if not more so then the combat. And if...

    Sacrificial Bunnies (Warlock curse question)

    The pity about using your fey and other bunnies is that the players can so easily cure them. If Cure Disease and Remove Ailment don't work they can always try "Kill and Rez" That's an odd thought actually. That in a sufficiently magical DnD society they might have a "Kill&Rez" procedure.

    Nominate Stalker0's skill challenge maths thread for sticky status

    Stick it. And while we're at it can someone post links to the threads in THIS thread. For people who've forgotten what it is.

    So why are miniature's required... and uh.. character sheets are not?

    By buying their miniature game thingy. Don't know why they want you to buy the DMG as well though. Silly people don't even know their own products

    Sacrificial Bunnies (Warlock curse question)

    In medieval days they dealt with such people by either burning them at the stake or drilling holes in their skull to "let the demons out". Having said that, while it's against the rules I'd allow it if it was done thematically. Bunnies wouldn't do it, but I think it would be thematic for an...

    How has the 4e/3e schism affected you?

    Nada, nothing, zip. We play 3.5 now, we might play 4.0 later on. I hope to play in both of them later on but either doesn't matter. As long as I can roll dice, be with friends and can play a character (as in personality) I'm alright. Most systems have flaws of some kind. In the end just pick...

    Sleep?

    Having a solo monster fall asleep by using the wisdom penalty on the first save means that there's at least one round in which everyone can try and hit the solo with huge to-hit bonuses (I think +7 but I'm not sure), automatic crits if they do hit and it can't attack you for at least one full...

    D&D Insider + Spore Creature Lab = WOW!!!

    Spore.com It came out on Tuesday. I made my own version of the beholder. A very wicked dancer and a very paranoid bastard. He can't stop looking everywhere...

    D&D 4E Crafting... can anyone make anything in 4E?

    Or let your characters choose two skills to train it that aren't represented by any of the skills already available. This is for the crafters, professionals etc. While it's gross I wouldn't call it an oversight but rather a fixation on combat. And none of this "you don't need any rules for...

    Trap-disabler Wanted: Optimized halflings need only apply?

    There is an easy solution for this. Let the other characters assist in disarming the traps. Four people can help you at the same time and each one that gets a 10+ on their roll (assuming an average Dex bonus of 1 this means they have to throw a 7 or higher) will give you a +2 bonus for...

    Best Party Combo for Newbies?

    If you do get a fifth guy and you have all the four roles covered according to RAW it's best to get a second defender.

    Rogue Weapon Talent Use/Abuse?

    The first few times it's an immediate reaction but then you kinda get a feeling for when they're going to say something stupid and it becomes an interrupt. Seriously, I think in some games they put "for mature players" simply to bypass this kind of stuff.

    Archspell and Shape Magic

    Oh I think you can do that. Page 54 of the PHB only describes power types by how often they are used (at-will, encounter and daily) so the Utility power "Shape Magic" counts. It would let you cast a daily in every single encounter. If you rest for you'll be able to get all your dailies back I...

    Elven re-roll and the demigod capstone power

    Blade cascade is a Daily power iirc and thus does not count. Anyway just use common sense really. Put as a thumb rule that you can still only do 3 actions per turn, or that you can't use the same encounter more then x times in the same turn. So yes, Elvish demigods will be able to use their...

    Blind evil campaign

    They are touched by the EVIL claw of DOOM. Basically make them very good at being evil, but very poor at being good. Everything they do tends out to be evil. They saved a village.. it turns out to be one of cannibals and devil worshippers. They overthrow a seemingly tyrant baron.. who was...

    What do you wish was in D&D that isn't?

    More difference between the classes. Better mechanical support for non-combat related matters (I'm not thathappy with the Skill Challenge mechanic)

    Humans as default

    I've lived in enough different countries in my life to see human beings as diverse. Different customs, expectations, social structures etc. Speaking about it how often are elves played as elves rather then a human with pointy ears and perhaps feeling a bit of cultural superiority (yeah, that...

    Monster Fluff

    Thank you everyone for your suggestions. I guess I have a lot of reading to do then ^_^ (I like imagination but if I prefer to use that for plots, characterisation and writing proper fiction)
