The monk as a divine striker would be pretty simple, I'd think. He starts out only able to wear light armor, gets his Dex or Cha bonus to his AC and attacks with Wisdom against Will for most of his powers. Instead of focusing on higher damage, like the rogue or ranger, his attacks cause a...

Roland was a French knight. Lancelot was a French knight thrust into the story of an ancient celtic warlord reimagined as a French king. Neither was an historic paladin, though. For most of its practical usage, a Paladin was an administrative official. The Lord Baltimore was granted a...

Say you have a hypothetical class that can do a little bit of everything. In the interest of balance, you make it so that it doesn't advance in all of those things as quickly as a specialist class (fighter or wizard). The simple analogy would be someone trying to keep all of his skills at the...

I see a few arguments that all work pretty darn well. 1) The Eagle: sometimes things work out really darn well. It's what you intended, but even you were surprised by how well it worked. The counter: Unless the golfer decided at the tee that he'd get an eagle, it doesn't work. The response...

The problem is that that's where druidzilla started. Either you have someone who has no role and sucks at all of them or he has no role and is overpowered in all of them.

I like the idea of the druid as having a very few spells at his disposal, but mostly being a shapeshifter. Sort of like the Navajo witch or ancient celtic druid.

Sure, the DM willing to put in more work can adjust the outcome. If they stop the fire with no failures then only the one building was damaged and it was mostly superficial. The more failures they rack up, the more damage the town suffers until, with complete failure, a third of the town has...

Hey, now, Die Hard only has ONE explosion. No, wait, two. Okay, three. Still, they're not excessive. The first one demonstrate... the first TWO demonstrate (Okay, there were four. Sue me. But only two big ones.) that the bad guys are Evil (hurt cops, then KILL them). The second one...

ha HA! Dude... a McClane ninja might be the deadliest force in the universe. Except maybe a Chuck Norris viking...

I am a warlock, having made a pact with a powerful being of the feywild. I wield eldritch energy to curse my foes, to flit from place to place on the battlefield, and to send my enemies tumbling in all directions. And some crunchy, granola-eating treehugger wants to turn me into a frickin'...

Just ask yourself, "What Would John McClane Do?" (WWJMcCD) If the answer is "Roll around on the floor like a sissy" then you just go ahead and roll around on the floor like a sissy. However, I don't think John McClane is a sissy. I'm pretty sure he'd suck it up and throw a pseudogerman off a...

Back in college I studied karate. It was great; the classes took place in the gymnasium, as in the place where the gymnastics teams practiced. In addition to the usual balance beams and parallel and unparallel bars and rings and whatnot there was also the great big open space where they...

Wouldn't a daily power be more likely to be used toward the beginning of a very difficult combat? Therefor the paladin onpainofdeaths a dragon or some such then draws his sword and goes in swinging.

WOTC has, I believe, confirmed that the druid will be based around its abilities as a shapeshifter. After all, that's the class ability that really distinguishes the druid from the other casters. Some of the classes are fairly solidly in a single role; the fighter is a defender, the rogue...

I dunno about you, tovarisch, but I'm not five feet across in any direction but the vertical. I'm pretty sure that the suggestion of 2' squares was only considering the two dimensions depicted on a battlemap rather than a cube with two-foot edges.

How about this: Reasonably intelligent creatures should grasp the implications right away. Animal intelligence would get it after being hurt by it. Mindless automata just plain won't get it.

Perhaps a city that knows it has to imprison heroes will go to a bit of extra effort and build a double of their prison in the feywild itself. Only entirely out of stone and with no interior doors. That way they won't have any Eladrin hopping in and out as they wish. Yes, it's extra expense...

:snerk: Nice. Very nice.

Yeah, I know, but think about it; unless every dungeon is antiseptic, no character should get past first level because they should all get, if not the dreaded galloping gangrene, then at least the more prosaic, but still quite unfortunate, gangrene. And so should any monster that survives their...

Yes, but in base one bajillion. So, really, it's one bajillion.
