Imp Fate of Void states that it applies to the roll, not to each curse or each bonus.

I've always found it extremely odd that the Half-Elf was in the PHB, and isn't terribly amazing for any PHB classes except for Warlock. They've been saying in the latest Design and Dev articles that it was all hyper-planned, and the PHB was supposed to touch all the bases, and certain race...

Entitled might have been a confusing word choice. The thing is that +1 to attack rolls is pretty tasty, and fairly hard to come by. There are few feats that give +1 to attack rolls, and only in specific situations. +2 is typically something you enjoy only if you endanger yourself (by getting...

Further notes - I heard the intended effect when reading your pun involving my username. Good stuff. I think there's room for martial rituals which allow the player to perform inhuman, legendary abilities that aren't necessarily magical but require a dash of magical power to unleash. Mages...

Indeed it does! Out of five stars, I rate this gratuitous ("given without recompense", not "uncalled for") response from you as "handy and succinct"! Cheers!

I like your ideas a wee bit better - arcane rituals typically don't provide significant combat bonuses. If a ritual can be used to benefit a combat, typically it does so by changing the scene or tactical situation, and usually not in a way that would be consistently useful for every single...

I already like the class a lot; it's hard to think of additional things I'd like to see. The following list is a bunch of ideas that I squeezed out for the sake of answering the prompt and contributing to your idea pile. I am not terribly attached to these fairly loony ideas, but if any spark...

I've saved myself tons of headache that way, when I play a PC. I already have enough DM thoughts in my head. Don't let your thoughts dwell for more than a couple minutes on a future character level unless: A - it's your next level (or maybe two) B - you've played a character thoroughly at that...

Interesting, I'll have to take a look at that. If I may be conceited enough to believe I have the right to do so: If I were to choose one of those Encounter stances to axe, I'd axe the Double Movement for Approaching Enemies thing. As a DM I'd be bloody well annoyed if my monsters were never...

Any particular reason the PP doesn't require you to be a member of an arcane class? Looks like there's nothing stopping a ranger from taking this.

In honor of the kitsune over there, I too would like to say something self-important! I don't know if you noticed, good sir, but prior to post #48 you'd been asking for feedback and getting sparse replies. Post #48's meaty content, however, heralded a powerful explosion of feedback...

If they start their Paragon class at level 14, or level 17, they should still stop receiving paragon abilities at 21. The character will have plenty of juicy stuff from their multiclass, and doesn't need to have a full complement of Paragon powers, especially not overlapping with their Epic Destiny.

Side note: hexes work great. In the likely event that there will be square, gridded maps that you absolutely love and want to use, invest in a simple sheet of transparent paper with thin, white hexes on it. Bursts and blasts have to be re-shaped, but the players find that cone-shaped blasts...

If you're happy with the monster thus far, don't mind me. There's a really cool solo encounter in Dungeon magazine with a Tiefling who has a ghoul on her back. You could mine that for ideas far better than the simple MM ettins. I tried googling for "tiefling ghoul" "tiefling and ghoul" and...

Instead of simply giving a vanilla bonus to attack rolls, how about actually making it into a combat ritual, or kata? If the warrior practices a set of moves in a ritualistic fashion, then when he executes those specific moves in that particular sequence, he gains +X on his next Y attack rolls...

If you can hit your ally by accident, then you can hit your ally on purpose. It's up to the individual DM to determine if being a "willing target" changes the attack or not, and if so, how, because there aren't rules for it currently.

To my knowledge, "stance" and "daily" are supposed to go hand-in-hand. We're certainly not talking Blade Cascade levels of brokenness here, but your Encounter stances don't seem right. No class really has any "always-on" powers beyond what's given to them by their class, paragon path, or epic...

Howdy there! I noticed that Arizona is already on your list. What are your current plans here?

You can't teleport without line of sight to your destination...

I hear that, man. I don't know which problem it is, but I work 40hrs/week at an internet billing company and then I try to game, too, when I get home. My fingers usually feel varying degrees of sore and unwilling to bend. I can't wait for the someday wave of serious games that neither require...
