    PC concepts I'd love to play...

    I did this once. He was an illusionist that was really a ... greater shadow magic animated with an alter reality? I think, something like that. An illusionist wanted a child but couldn't sire one so he made one through magic. A dispel magic hurt him like a fireball. It was fun.

    Blade Cascade: Much too good...

    You can't utilize a move action until your standard action (the Blade Cascade) is completed. Even if you had an Immediate Interrupt movement ability that triggered when you used a standard action, it would still resolve before you started smacking the BBEG and others withing reach. Even so, I...

    Low-Magic 4E (Forked Thread: Just played my first 4E game)

    Also, for really low magic: 4. Give all characters +1 / 4 levels to attack, damage, defenses. then you don't even need the big three.

    "You realize, of course, this mean war."

    Egad. Well, I hope they were gifts from lovers or your dad's name was Jack.

    "You realize, of course, this mean war."

    I'd have to agree. The Well of Souls RPG was laughably incomplete. You couldn't even make a character, the rules were so spotty. I did hope there would be at least a list of hexes, tech levels and descriptions, but we didn't even get that. Very sad, indeed.

    Reviewing the Artificer

    I hope I'm not the only one who saw that and said "Spongify!"

    Latin Help

    It is just for the date. "The current year is 392 Anno Astris, in the nearly four hundred years since the starfall..." and it gives me something to write after the year number. Two or three words would be best. I have avoided using any kind of obvious Roman or Aristotolean - four elements...

    Latin Help

    If Anno Domini is "the year of our Lord", what is "the year after the star fell"? I am timing my campaign after a major asteroid impact and would like an appropriate latinate dating system. Thanks.

Encounter - Divine Standard Action, Ranged 5 Target: One corpse within one size catagory of the cleric. Effect: One corpse within range gets up and shambles towards a target to initiate a grapple. It...

    D&D 4E How would you work pantheon worship using 4e mechanics?

    I've always had paladins be god neutral. While the flavor text states that paladins derive their powers from a particular god I don't believe there is any mechanical backbone to that. As for clerics, I'm grouping my deities into pantheons and the clerics take channel divinity feats from whatever...

    Tekumeli Divine Feats

    Well, they are going to be in High or Very High clans..

    Tekumeli Divine Feats

    Yeah, it doesn't quite fit. There isn't a channel ability that is really offensive, however, that I can pattern off of. I would like a "If X, then Y (Fire)" ability for him. Kord's Favor, Armor of Bahamut and Raven Queen's Blessing would all fit quite well for Karakan. Unfortunately I would then...

    Tekumeli Divine Feats

    One of the things that I use for my homebrew are the gods from Tekumel, slightly modified. After reading through the cleric class, I have to say that I'm disappointed in the lack of inherent customization. However, trying to make some lemonade, I'm thinking of the following. Each cleric joins...

    "You possess a spellbook."

    If I club a wizard over the head and take his spellbook, I get access to the rituals. Do I also get access to the daily powers? Assuming I'm a wizard, of course.

    More AP experiences with D&D 4e?

    What will probably be my last Arcana Evolved game (using a retooled Forge of Fury and with Scarred Lands elements) keeps getting pushed back because not every player is available for the last big throw-down fight. Probably in late August sometime for us. My players are already making characters...

    Is a 20 in a stat at 1st level ever worth it?

    The only means of boosting your attributes is through the level bonuses as 4th level, 8th level, &c., correct? There is no longer an item that grants a stat boost. I believe there are class paths that allow for extra stat boosts (Demigod) but so far that is very limited. Just clarifying what my...

    4th Edition Aarakocra (WIP)

    If you can't use two handed weapons how can you require all versitile weapons be used two handed?

    Are you going to limit PC alignments in your 4e game?

    I use alignment, and the players are welcome to chose any of them. However, I do expect them to keep the intra-party conflict to a minimum and the be able to come to a consensus on a regular basis. Also, I use a variant alignment system. I have Order, Logic, Passion, Ambition and Instinct as...

    The Early Verdict (kinda long)

    WOW. This is it! I've been reading the 4e rules for a while now, but I haven't gotten a chance to run a game yet. My players are interested in it, and we've been playing Arcana Evolved long enough that the seams are showing. I'm also putting together a kid's game for the Baronet and his...
