I'm sorry but when comparing imagination and design comics from the 70's and 80's were far superior then 4th edition DnD. Have you ever read any Dr strange comics from that time for example? Also remember that by the 70s the world already had heroes like Spiderman and the Fantastic Four...

I don't think it would be a very good thing. For one I believe that 4th edition is mostly supported because DnD is a popular brand (I don't think I would buy 4th edition if it wasn't so popular). People want to play DnD and they want to play the latest version of things because people have the...

You could always just use basic ranged attacks before going in, if you're the Dex variant Avenger that should work nicely. Or go as a Hybrid Avenger/Ranger. They both use Wis and Dex and you can have half of your powers be ranged powers.

I don't mind having mechanical limitations for thematic reasons myself. In my world for example Elves, Eladrin and the Drow simply can't take any divine classes. It simply doesn't make sense for them. I frown on ones that don't seem to enforce either balance or theme though. Ikinda think that...

While it all sounds very nice, there's another drawback. If the blood of the monsters is for example, powerful but unholy, having possibly detrimental effects to people wouldn't it be bad for melee classes? They're the ones that get splattered with blood because they're closer to the monster.

With all this calculation and such, have people held account with magical weapons? Wouldn't the Jagged Weapon be one of the best magical weapons for Avengers since it gives you a crit range of 19-20 which is really nice for the Avenger? Or do Avengers usually have 21 strength by epic level?

What's that you say? Playing Planewalkers using DnD 4th edition? Spectacular idea!

I remember in an early Elric game (from '93) you got points added or subtracted from Law, Chaos or Balance depending on your actions. It was nice since your characters allegiances were formed during play based on your actions. It was nice how you even shifted even though it might not be your...

I don't like such characters, unless of course they're heavily looking for a future, and even their past. How about: "Name at least one person, fictional or real that your character is like." Although that could be confining.

What do you think are the most useful Bard rituals then?

No, I think he was inspired by some horror books. I think he might have done it because he believed it would show us how horrific and inhuman the torturer was. All it really resulted in was me taking him aside after the session and asking him to please get laid so that we don't have to play...

I'm going to have to disagree with that, getting a larger critical range IS easy for many classes. For most weapon using classes Strength is a primary stat, which means that once you reach level 21 you're probably have more then you need. The other stat is something you probably have or could...

Shows how much you know. I once played with a DM who not only did all 3 of those, but managed to do them all, quite extensively within 90 minutes or less. Even though it took less then 10 for all the players to get bored and stop paying much attention. I think people from the USA tend to be...

I've noticed something that annoys me. Certain classes, do not have proper access to feats that increase ones critical hit range to something larger then 20. If a Strength based melee class reaches epic tier they can get a feat that allows them to have a critical hit with a 19-20. Most Arcane...

Make them the followers of dark and evil Gods. Some willing acolytes of the faith, others who have been coerced. When they died they were resurrected by the Church for purposes of their own. Of course, each has their own reasons for adventuring.

Guild Wars 2 features mostly non-standard races if that helps you.

While Martial Practices sound like a good idea in theory (it's good to have some trained stuff for martial classes) I'm not so sure I like how it's been done. One of the things I don't like is the following: Now, if Wizards wants us to believe that asking someone where the bathroom is, using...

Yes, but I should note that in my concept, Kesians wouldn't have +2 to Strength and Constitution unless they have the Dogs of War background. It simply doesn't fit with the culture for another BUT then to have so many advantages martially. But anyway, enjoy.

I don't have the time for an elaborate feedback but I found some possible mistakes. 1) Your races do not seem balanced. I don't know whether that was your design goal or not though. 2) When one compares the "races" in Medkemia when it comes to the fighter role it's Dwarf > Tsurani > Keshian...

If you want weapons that go level up with the characters I might have a solution. Instead of legacy weapons, use jealousy weapons. Jealousy weapons are much like other magical weapons except for two things. One is that they become more powerful overtime as the character gets more attune to them...
