Cleansing Fire perhaps? Nice work, thanks for sharing it.

Short answer: Yes, you do add the 1/2 level bonus to casters' rolls to hit. As for implements, you don't add a proficiency bonus to their spell attack rolls. If the implement can be used as a weapon that the character is proficient with (staff, pact blade), then add the normal weapon...

I will be changing the back story around some, and adding a bit of prophecy I threw together here KotS spoiler I agree with those who said my first version gave away too much information too early. However I may use the last 2 verses of the first version of the poem as additional prophecy /...

Of course they will. The party will have a very difficult time hitting them at all, and the level 10 minions will hit them most of the time in return. The PC's will be freaking out at how tough these things are, until they get lucky and roll a 20, slaying one in a single blow. I don't like...

Welcome to ENWorld! If you look at the math, I believe it shows that increasing the die by one increment is the same as increasing the damage by +1. The average damage on a d8 is (1+8)/2 = 4.5 The average damage on a d8+1 is (2+9)/2 = 5.5 The average damage on a d10 is (1+10)/2 = 5.5 This...

Our group has always house-ruled that if you hit with an arrow, it's gone. You could take the time to pry it out (with pliers), but you're just as likely to break it in the process as remove it. For misses, the DM let us recover half the arrows. They break easily if they hit stuff, and have a...

Experienced Minion seeks Younger Adventurer for some dungeon excitement. I'll put the fear of god into you before you finally luck out and 1-shot me to the heart. High to-hit bonus a plus. I really like minions as the countless mooks, the back-up, the swarming rabble, the hordes of...

Grasping Shadows and balance So does anyone else get the impression that the level 1 encounter spell Grasping Shadows is just too good? As the info is all free on Dragon, I'll include the writeup here for convenience. This is doing as much damage as a couple of the single target encounter...

It's not really the true WoW experience without people shouting in giant red capital letters "I NEED 3G!!!!!!" and "SUM1 RUN ME THRU STOCKS". Then you find these people, open a trade window, put 500 gold in it without hitting the confirm button, and hearthstone to Shattrath.

For weapons, I think I will allow ritual magic to reshape them within the same weapon group. So you can turn a long sword +1 into a scimitar +1, but not an axe, or a dagger, or a halberd. Light blade into any other light blade, etc. That makes it slightly easier to make use of that nice +2...

It's not the cost of the enchant I want to change - just the convenience. If they find a huge box of alchemical reagents in the dragon's hoard, they can't suddenly make a new magic cloak out of an old woolen blanket, even if they have the full amount of cash value needed for the ritual. Even...

Point the first: I'm not happy with the item creation ritual as presented in the PH. It seems too easy to just throw some money into generic ritual materials and make whatever the heck you have money (and levels) for. I realize it says you can enchant a normal item, and not just create...

If you want to have a game centered around crafting and selling things, then you will need to either house rule it or find another system. Some of the skill challenges, or suggestions of quests to obtain rare materials, discover who is sabotaging their trade caravans, or playing games of...

Garden of the Gods Above links to the main page for the park, below is a really nice photo of some of the stone formations at sunrise.

I haven't really had a full play session of 4E yet, but have been reading the books like crazy, and am planning to run KotS soon for the family and one friend of ours. I'm also going to try and adapt War of the Burning Sky (from ENPublishing, yay) to 4E because I like the story, and feel that...

Wow, on a quick once-over, they look fantastic. Much clearer than the defaults. I will try them out for our upcoming game. Thanks for the hard work!

A less specific more story-like variant Here's an altered variant with less specific info. This could be a song common to the local area, but of unknown origin. I even tacked a warning verse onto the end, as many horror stories have something of the sort. Cautionary tales and all that. In...

Sure, it's just a bunch of rhymed couplets, but this is prophecy we're talking about. Isn't it typically delivered in rhymed couplets? Contains KotS spoilers - don't read this if you're a player who's likely to play through the module sometime. I wanted to beef up the backstory for KotS by...

Awesome idea!

It was my understanding that a new class was being published sometime in July. The rumor mill seems to believe it will be the bard, or so was the impression I had gotten from reading various threads here. We know the sword mage will be coming in the FR campaign setting. I am really hoping it...
