I'd say split each race in half so you get two templates, ensuring that each has a coherent theme: Template A gets one ability boost, one skill boost, either vision or speed, and specified abilities. (Any abilities related to origin/type, or powers-as-abilities, are shared) Template B gets one...

Unfortunately, race creation is more of an art than a science. I homebrew new races for almost all of my campaigns, yet if I were told to sit down and write down the process I go through, I couldn't do it. 4e races are easier, as they follow the same basic format, but the abilities and powers...

Questions: 1) What kinds of things are included? Pantheons? Cosmology? Geography and maps? Political stuff (rulers, nations, etc.)? "Feel" of the setting? 2) What kind of help do you need? Crunch? Fluff? Ideas? Editing? Critiquing fluff/crunch/ideas? I can help with any and all of the above...

That was just another example of rules ambiguity, not a supporting argument for anything here. As Lizard pointed out, PHB 278 says that any powers with a "Sustain" entry have durations. General: You cannot sustain a power that has ended. Specific: This power does not mention a duration, but...

I'd be interested in a bit of writing. I looked around weredragonmag.com but didn't see the list of articles seeking writers you mentioned. Where would I find that?

That comes about because the generic rules about sustaining powers are horribly written. It also mentions "effect" in the Sustain rules rather than "power," so you could argue that only things in the "Effect" line can be sustained. Really, the wording sucks on that. However, specific...

The best thing to do is multiclass 2 levels in one of the other martial adept classes. Not only will it let you do a higher-level warblade stance, but it will fix some other stance level issues later on. I'd suggest one of the following: 1) If you're more defensive-oriented, do crusader. The...

Thank you to those of you who gave me the formatting/color info. While I don't think I'm going to get the Mentor fonts, my Toolkit now does fairly accurate power cards, thanks to you guys: Put in the data and that's what comes out. You can change the colors from the defaults if you want...

Actually, at this point, we're not waiting on the GSL; I'm perfectly happy to put it out right now. The reason we're still waiting is that Scott Rouse offered (actually saw the Wizards thread and came to us about it) to host the Toolkit on the main site. MadLetter and I think that waiting for...

Okay folks, status update time. Bad news: One month after the scheduled release date, WotC still has no idea whether they should let us release this officially and/or whether they should host this on the main site. Good news: I'm about 96% finished with a power card maker integrated into the...

You could give them immunity against all energy types besides radiant, resistance 10 against weapon damage, and an ability that automatically kills them on a crit. That would mean that non-radiant energy basically couldn't take them down, they can die from weapons but it takes more effort, and...

No problem; I didn't mention it the first time around. Yeah, I thought it was a washed-out black, but I wasn't sure if it was intentionally lighter. Aw, you guys are giving me way too much credit. :blush: I'm just working up a little program to help homebrewers (the DM's Toolkit, if you're...

:eek: I don't suppose you can download one or two of those for a much lower price...or can you only buy fonts in families? EDIT: Looking around, it appears you can get individual fonts for as little as (!) $39 US. And I apparently need 3 fonts for true-to-PHB cards...Oy. I might have to...

Two questions for you guys: 1) Where would I get those fonts? I'm sure I could find them with a bit of Googling, but I didn't know if there were any sites that (A) would have them all in one place and (B) you'd recommend. I'm writing a program that includes a power card generator, so having...

I think it's the latter; someone around here made a monster creator using 13+1/2 level and it was mostly accurate, though practically every monster has some sort of fudge factor for defenses anyway.

Excellent, and thank you. Now that I've ironed out what people want to see in this, I'll switch the Tiefling over and get to work on the rest of them. Anyone who wants to contribute--make powers/feats, critique powers/feats, whatever--feel free to jump in at any time.

Glad to hear it. Does the "racial multiclass" version of this (the dragonborn) meet with your approval as well?

That gives me an idea...how about everyone automatically gains the racial powers, but not an extra slot; instead, you can choose to use a racial power instead of a class power (on the fly), sort of like a combination of Channel Divinity and 3e cleric spontaneously casting cure X wounds spells...

Or rather, set the daywalker metaphysics right. They were vampires and drank blood and all that, but the purification process changed that. The priests who purified the vampires believed drinking blood to be abhorrent and a blasphemy, but realized that vampires couldn't survive by eating...

I think that's fine; it seems to me that clerics and wizards are the most likely to have come across vestiges in their catechisms/studies and would thus be most likely to start out with knowledge of them.
