Yes, it might. I'll see what I can do. It's automatic but it only works once per encounter. I figured that would be enough to provide some flavor for the inquisitors - plus it means that if a warlock throws a daily at him, he can just shrug it off, which would make him seem pretty tough. I...

Combat advantage is not the only kind of bonus you can get. A DM can hand out bonuses or penalties for any reason he deems adequate. So if the characters have done their research and prepared well before a fight, the DM might consider giving them a bonus for the first few rounds before their...

Cold iron is just regular old iron anyway so fey are just as weak to it as everyone else.

Thanks to Stalker0 for inspiration, I'm sure you'll notice that I've picked up quite a few ideas from his Obsidian system. Without further ado... Skill Challenges Skill challenges are quite similar to regular combat. The party must reduce the hit points of a target to 0 before they themselves...

Thanks! I like Haddin, he's a magnificent bastard. I hope he survives to come back again and again... I've converted a bunch of npcs. This time I'll clean up the stat blocks and not post any power information beyond the names, since I'm not sure if that's allowed or not: Torrent Human Cleric...

I think it's a shame that they wasted the ranger class on another striker. They could have been great martial controllers with the right powers. Then the monk could be a martial striker like it's supposed to. Ki - pft. Granted, it's fun to pwn everything as a ranger but still. There's too many...

I like it. Three less powers to write down and keep track of. Just rename it "Cantrips", since Prestidigitation still carries some baggage.

This system is much better than the first one you did, in my opinion. Cleaner and easier to learn. Always using 3 rounds is a bit of a limitation to me but if it's necessary to make the math work I guess I can cope with that. I'm going to write down my own set of house rules for skill challenges...

Ok, here is the stuff I've made so far. Still working on converting npc allies like Torrent, Crystin, etc. Shelter from the storm Character Levels 5-6, all encounters are based on 5 pcs (or 4 pcs plus one npc). Act One; The Swamp Territorial Goblins; Level 6 (1250 xp) Skill challenge...

Do you have any specific encounter in mind? Sometimes a single check is all it takes, other times a skill challenge might be more appropriate. It depends on how important the encounter is. For example, to convince the religious leaders of Seaquen to go along with Laurabec's plan, I'd make it a...

I've just converted the last 2/3rds of Shelter From the Storm. Hopefully we will play it later this summer. I don't know how the player characters will convert yet but I'm sure it will work out fine. If anyone is interested I can make my conversion available, but don't expect too much; it's just...

Gust of Wind seems a little strange. It's an area blast but it only targets one creature within the area. Why is it an area attack if it only affects one creature? The flavour text implies that it affects every creature within the area, as one would expect.

I'm looking forward to hear more from both of you, both theoretical and practical discoveries. Thanks for your (future) input.

This is another reason for why my system using rounds instead of failures works better for me. In my system (http://www.enworld.org/showthread.php?t=229928), standing around doing nothing is worse than trying to do something, anything, even if it has just a small chance of success. Edit...

Warrior of the Wild requires Str or Dex 13. Skill Training has no prerequisites.

Oh ok, I misunderstood your original post then.

The wands in the PHB are not all the wands that can possibly exist. You can learn to craft your own wands and then all the powers of the warlocks and wizards are available to you.

Dicey? It works every time; how is it dicey?

This isn't anything new. They explained all of this in one of the previews. It's done this way so that when you sell or disenchant an item for 20% of its value, you can buy or create a new item that is 5 levels lower. You might lose power but you gain utility if the original item wasn't one that...

I still balk at the complexity of your system. If possible I would like to be able to play a skill challenge without looking up the rules and this doesn't look like it would fit inside my head. Spending healing surges to gain bonuses is a great idea and I'll probably use that for my own...
