    D&D 4E Trying to run 4E before its release?

    (Looks like from the 4E Pit Fiend preview that HP progression will be redone because the Pit Fiend only does a double attack for a max of something like 30 damage... I'm not prepared to do that overhaul in prep for the 4E release.) My system involves single attack rolls and average damage...

    D&D 4E Trying to run 4E before its release?

    I've made spell lists for the bard, sorcerer, and wizard. reduced each spell list to about 12 spells per level. bards are charmers and illusionists. sorcerers are more elementalists/blasters. wizards are more into runes/glyphs and walls and battlefield control.

    D&D 4E Green ronin going to do 4e products?

    If no one has paid yet then I guess it's safe to assume that the only third party folks that are writing presently for 4e, besides WotC employees, would be playtesters who also like to write?

    D&D 4E Green ronin going to do 4e products?

    That's what I get for speculating! :P Thanks Nicole. That makes a lot of sense (cents too). It's good to assume that the new license will be not as accomodating as the previous license. I guess if GR wants to make product type X and if WotC doesn't allow product type X, then that would be...

    D&D 4E Green ronin going to do 4e products?

    Just speculating here... As far as I interpreted things (unless the thread linked in this thread is newer), GR was on the fence whether or not they wanted to pony up the $5,000 for an advance copy of the rules as a leap of faith. It is assumed that 4E rules will be good, but (GR realizing that...

    Gold or Silver Standard?

    metal change = name change changing the metal of the coinage simply amounts to a name change. 4E will hopefully be keeping it simple, so they should GET RID OF THE COPPER PIECE even. Making silver the "new gold" and copper the "new silver" just amounts to a name change. You could make the...

    D&D 4E Trying to run 4E before its release?

    Cleric Spell List--Cut Down to Size CLERIC SPELL LIST (draft) Some thoughts: * Next to each section head is two numbers in parenthesis. The first # is the current # of spells at that level (using my crazy modifications), the second # is the # of cleric spells at that level in the PHB. * I...

    D&D 4E Trying to run 4E before its release?

    Vayden, I'm also tempted (by the dark side) to play SWSE to whet my appetite for 4E. Gonna see how far I can go with my experiment before I dive into SWSE. I'm glad I'm not the only one! Today, I'm hack-n-slashing through the cleric spell list. Ugh.

    D&D 4E Trying to run 4E before its release?

    Ungeheuer, OK, I see that giving it to the barbarian AT WILL, is a problem. Thanks for the feedback. If I keep it for the first game session, I will likely change it to USE: 1/encounter and also define a duration: 3 rounds. The enemy will also be allowed to withdraw/flee, the enemy isn't...

    D&D 4E Trying to run 4E before its release?

    Afrodyte, thanks for the long edit. I will look over your skill thing tomorrow and also share what I've come up with for skills. Tonight I bashed out a 20-level barbarian progression (not typed up) and created a 6th level character sheet for the barbarian player (for this Saturday, yeah I'm...

    D&D 4E Trying to run 4E before its release?

    Ok, how does the player of the barbarian in T&T or C&C have more options than, "I rage." or "I power attack." ...?

    D&D 4E Trying to run 4E before its release?

    Bias: I'm very excited about the upcoming release of 4E to the point of TOTALLY house-ruling by d20 Pathfinder: Rise of the Runelords campaign in anticipation of the coming changes that 4th edition will bring. I really like the idea of streamlining D&D while giving certain classes more options...

    Is a Horse Still a 10 by 10 creature?/Should there be facing?

    I gotta agree with you Joe about squeezing through and not being able to turn around. Anyone ever been in a cave, crawlspace, or attic area that is too narrow to turn around in? I have an attic area is not very navigable. You could always Rule Zero it and say, if the monster is squeezing...

    Is a Horse Still a 10 by 10 creature?/Should there be facing?

    OK... but the spearmen who accept the charge of the cavalry will be packed tightly as well. 2 spearmen per 5x5 square... So this time realism is the same as gamism, just twice as wide of a space. As far as turning, facing, etc. *yawn* Joe, I luckily played in one of your campaigns. What I...

    Social Skills: Deduction

    Bah, make it fun and keep it simple! If the PCs are supposed to learn some of the local knowledge about the haunted manor, let them do it (automatic success) if they are trained. If it would help the story or give them their deserved treasure that they find something hidden, AUTOMATIC SUCCESS...

    Funny. I'm just glad it doesn't take $5000 to make a PDF book.

    Dragonborn - will you ban them?

    I do feel for the people who play half-orcs and gnomes and want their characters to remain as such if their campaign switches over to 4e. I guess I don't get as attached to my characters as some folks do. If someone told me I could switch my half-orc barbarian to a dragonborn fighter or...

    Dragonborn - will you ban them?

    Just because a vocal crowd on the Internet doesn't like warforged doesn't mean that a vast majority of gaming tables banned them (if they are running Eberron). A VAST MAJORITY of gamers never come onto the Internet to discuss/follow their RPG hobby. MOST people I game with haven't heard of...
