I got inspired by the original eladrin, so I think I have something at least as interesting as fey step. How would you like the ability to turn into a ball of light? That's mobility, a light source, and a Legend of Zelda joke all in one!

I'm adding a new line to several racial write-ups: Alternate Names and Reflavoring. For example, the living golem write-up includes: "Alternate Names and Reflavoring: Modron, Warforged." I'm curious what you like about half orcs and half elves; is it the half-breed identity crisis appeal...

I like the idea of a one-with-the-earth kind of power, but I think tremorsense alone is too circumstantial for a racial power. Maybe tack on a defense bonus for a round? At face value, the radiant keyword seems to fit the whole Land of Light theme, but I'm not sure it makes total sense. Maybe...

Hi all! As you may know, I'm tweaking 4e. When it comes to races... Which are your favorites? (Conceptually or mechanics-wise.) Which could use a tweak? (Something just doesn't make much sense, something is over- or under-powered, etc.) Do any of them lack a strong or distinctive identity...

I sympathize, friend. Sure nobody needs a 100% complimentary race/class combo...but then again nobody needs a complimentary combo at all. It's all about player psychology, and I think it's a shame. There are lots of races that have a good argument for Str/Int; eladrin, dwarves, hobgoblin...

Forerunner it is! It won by quite a margin. :) ...Although I like this one a lot. I'm also incredibly tempted to use Fourplay...but that would create a very Book of Erotic Fantasy expectation. :devil:

...I see what you did there. And I thought I was biting off a lot to chew. :-S Also, obligatory addiction joke: "C'mon man, just give me a Fix-E. I can stop whenever I want!" I'm confused, is a dumb title not a prerequisite for D&D clones anymore? :p

lmao. You, sir, just made my day with a very strange mental image. Sadly, code isn't allowed in sigs, so here's a link: [URL="http://www.enworld.org/forum/showthread.php?311937-The-First-4th-Edition-Clone!"]The Complete 4th Edition

As you may know -- hey, I'm being optimistic here! -- I'm writing a 4e revamp. A sort of 4e Pathfinder, except not concerned with backwards compatibility. I'm not making changes for the sake of change, but I already have a set of 4e-compatible house rules; what I'm writing is more systemic. It...

If anyone is interested in this project's beginnings, I just posted my first thoughts on my blog. Thanks to everyone who's replied, and if I didn't reply it's not because I don't care. Good gaming!

Thanks! I can use this to help reverse-engineer power guidelines. Good call! We should start a list of everywhere the skill vs. attack/defense issue crops up. I'm afb right now, and all that comes to mind is Intimidate.

Dude, I'm with you here, but chill. We don't need a flaming rehash of this debate. Thanks.

My computer is fraking with my fonts, and apparently colors, so I'll repeat this question for those who didn't see it: On the topic of 'lame' magical items, why do people feel this way? Is it because 4e items aren't all that powerful, or is it because they're not quirky? (Talking swords, dwarven...

Also, on the topic of 4e item 'lameness'...do people feel this way because they're not all that powerful, or because they're not quirky? (Like talking swords, and hammers that get extra bonuses in the hands of a dwarf, etc.) I'm all over this one. Not necessarily for all the reasons you...

The rule I use now (SW is a Move action) is better than RAW, but not really elegant. Ideally, move actions should be only for moving. Also, I'm not a fan of that +2 until-start-of-next turn bonus. On the topic of rituals, I must admit that I've never personally felt there's any problem with...

I do use inherent bonuses, and feat tax replacements, but it's not really elegant. Instead of having four different bonuses that add up to "+1 per level," I'd rather drop the enhancements, the stat boosts, and the expert bonuses, and just say "you get +1 to attacks and defenses per level." It's...

With the New Year nearly upon us, I find myself looking into my future. And my crystal ball is showing me DMing 4e for a long time – it’s the kind of fantasy action-adventure game my group and I want to play, and I don’t see us jumping into another game anytime soon. But it does have flaws...

I suppose that writing the Complete 4th Edition makes me hardcore, or close to it. I don't really know anything about 13th Age, but I've put a lot of time into preserving 4e in organized, errataed, and tweaked pdf form because like many others, I'm not naive enough to think that WotC will keep...

I'd say that the PHB and the DMG are good investments. For a monster book I'd suggest MM3 or either of the Monster Vaults. I'd also suggest checking out my Complete 4th Edition, which really opens up the chargen process. That said, it's very possible to make a 1st level 4e character in under 30...

Don't let it get you down; like Li Shenron says, it ain't dead so long as we're playing it. As to continuing 4e fan support... My Complete 4th Edition makes original 4e easily accessible even without DDI, and I've come across a couple 4e fan sites already. Fourth Party 4e Yes! Adventures...
