Weapons, armors, implements and neck items are up.

I like #1 and #2. #2 is simple and intuitive. #1 is part of an house rule fix I came up with a while back to fix multiattacks in my 4e clone. Unfortunately, I couldn't work out a fix that was both simple and effective; maybe you can do better. If your players are complaining, maybe they'd be...

Send me an email, and I'll send you the link. My address is in the OP.

Epic feats and destinies are up! Whew, that's everything needed to make a character of any level!

QFT. And this is exactly what I've done with my 4e clone; inherent bonuses are enhancement bonuses. But the inherent enhancements come several levels after PCs are likely to get item upgrades; so while nobody needs upgrades, there's still a 'Kewl new toy!' factor to upgrades. Usually, but not...

Sorry, I thought I made it clear in the OP. PDFs. Lots of PDFs.

No worries; I didn't take your post as being confrontational. I just don't want someone popping into this thread, seeing 'product' mentioned, and thinking "ZOMG someone's making money stealing WotC's stuff!" As to a C4 app, I don't have the tech savvy to even begin writing the programming. (I...

Please be careful with your terminology. 'Product' implies profit, and competition with WotC. I'm not selling C4, nor do I have any intention of ever doing so. I'm simply sharing my pet project with those who ask for it. As to its niche, well, C4 has the advantage of me. I update faster than...

For the most part, it's the same game. The tweaks I made are all aimed at balancing 4e's few glitches. My favorite example used to be that I fixed the star pact, but then WotC finally caught up to me. :) Probably the biggest change from RAW is that I neglected to include hybrids and MC feats...

'Was a time I planned to eventually do Essentials. But realistically, I'll likely have to leave it to someone else.

I'm sure you're wondering why I titled this thread the way I did. (Or your eyes have refocused on Stargate SG-1 reruns.) Either way, I'll explain: I'm writing the first 4e clone, and I call it the Complete 4th Edition, or C4. (Catchy, right? No? *sigh* Okay, go back to SG1.) Why write a clone...

This is exactly how my 4e clone works. Well, the bonuses are attached to the classes, and I call them training bonuses, but same difference eh? Isn't AD&D also one of the editions where you can wish yourself human, in the unlikely event that you ever hit your level cap? Anyway, I agree that...

Hammer, meet nail. :) It is weird how I switch from thinking "How would I deal ectoplasm in real life?" when dealing with most insubstantial creatures to "How would I deal with ectoplasm in D&D life?" when dealing with shaman pets.

If you've ever had a shaman in your group, you may have noticed a couple of oddities involving their pets: 1. The pet's damage threshold and death throe damage aren't up to date with MM3 damage values. At 1st level, most monsters will just flail away at a pet, effectively wasting their turns...

So maybe the only simple solution for 4e is "Don't give your PCs lots of items that boost the same shtick." EDIT: I'd like everyone's opinions on what comes next: But I'm a tinkerer at heart, so I'm considering adding this house rule to my Complete 4th Edition: Ability and enhancement...

So something like "This damage bonus can only be applied once to a given target per action/turn/round"? Assuming the multiattack issue is dealt with, I think grind is easy to deal with. I've been known to shave HP from monsters of all levels, myself. This may be true. But other than limiting...

One of CharOp's simple formulas is: multiattack power + lots of items like iron armbands = a truckload of damage. It's such a simple formula that you don't need the CharOp hive mind to use; you just need to be a work-at-home optimizer. Hence the infamy and popularity of Twin Strike. But I've...

I wrote this rule into my 4e clone. I also took away everyone's start-of-day AP, which helps with the 15 MWD issue. So...agreed!

Thanks, Bagger!

Thanks for sharing! There is an unfortunate perception of whininess surrounding those of us who think the game isn't what it could be. A lot of those who have this perception probably don't visit the house rule forum very often, but hey, preaching to the choir has its up sides. So this is me...
