Quick question... what is "moe?" I only know "Moe" to be a bartender.

Ahnirades: When I first read your post, I liked the idea for what it was, but couldn't help thinking that D&D probably wasn't the right system for it. At least, not with it's current mechanics. I agree wholeheartedly with this idea. I think eliminating the reward system would be very...

A fun mechanic that comes to my mind is flight. Maybe some ornithopters are sitting around, and the players can pilot them to drop some explosives from above. Ooooooor.... Mounts. After a short melee fight, the remaining cultists jump on to horses and the PCs must take the horses of those they...

Sounds pretty cool, and a good leader ability if I may say so. I'd suggest adding "within x squares" to the target part, though.

Noticced the lack of a leader power... Quickly thinking of something for you. How about this: Force Field Aura 2 Any enemy moving inside the aura treats it as difficult terrain. Any ally making attacks inside the aura receives a +2 to damage. Take it or leave it. Time for class!

Agreeing with the others. Thought I'd post something I'd noticed: Like Siberys said, these can be hard to remember. And even if they are remembered, it slows down the game with math. Plus, who wants to spend time doing the math that is just a penalty for their character? Most people would call...

While you are right that this would be very powerful and undoubtedly have unforeseen consequences, I this is the purpose. It's magic, after all. Jester: I would also suggest putting a limit on it. IDEA:The item doesn't have the intrinsic, passive effect you stated. Instead it has a power, as...

I'd think a Trample is something that would have to be used as a charge/bullrush attack. Standing still and doing this would be more akin to a stomp. Perhaps if you included the clause that it must be made as a charge/bullrush attack, the character could continue moving away from the enemy...

I'd suggest that the feat grants an attack power. That is my idea. Change the damage value if you think it is too high. Also, perhaps the scaling power of the attack is idea for paragon abilities. Enjoy!

I think it handles the obvious size difference in a very graceful way. I remember a 3.5 game where we used the size class of "Large" from the moster info. This, of course, led to many problems navigating dungeon corridors, and the ultimate, unexplained change of race for that character. I chalk...

In our previous session, I gave out one of these. I think now is a good time to stat it up. This thread seemed to fall in to my lap! I'll have this bracer-gun act as a revolver with 1 more shot/load, I think making it a 1d10 weapon should balance that out. Loading it is a standard action...

It would help to know your party level. This will help figuring appropriate DCs, damage, and attack rolls (by the way, traps do attack like monsters.) The DM's Guide has a whole chapter devoted to building traps, with many examples. In fact, on page 90, there is a "Flame Jet" trap which looks...

War Powers Seize the Advantage* immediate reaction When the opposing army breaks or changes formation, your army receives +2 to attack rolls until the end of your next turn. *this is historically based: in medieval warfare, a break in formation was the first step towards defeat. You would send...

Unit Modding: Flying Platoon Flying Platoons can consist of many things, such as soldiers in ornithopters, archers on the wings of griffins, or wizards riding giant eagles, crows, or bats, to name a few. Airborne: Moves 3 squares above the field. While airborne, Flying Platoons can only be...

The combat advantage is what I was referring to. It is basically an AC penalty in reverse, as far as melee attacks go. I cannot reasonably see how a leg fracture is going to affect the ability of your armor to protect against attacks so drastically. The -2 from prone explains your inability to...

Do you really want to give a -4 to AC? In the literal reading as you have written, this is what I'm gathering from this one. Prone would give -2, the -2 to all would give -2, for a total of -4 Perhaps rephrase and clarify with: Same goes with 17-19 on that chart, clarify it with "Reflex...

In my group's previous session, the pc's boarded a ship and fought and defeated a group of 3 NPCs which will be recurring enemies. In the next game I want to pit the party against the ship's owner. Here is my vision of her. Irena Swiftwater is a wealthy and sharp-witted woman who has gained a...

I like this system. I feel confident that it will help to keep everyone engaged in the story instead of just saying, "I used Twin Strike/Cleave/Inspiring Word." I think I'll try it out pretty soon, maybe even during our next fight which is against a solo. I don't want the fight to drag on all...

We duked this fight out last night, and it was a ton of fun. The players used all of the terrain features, swinging from ropes and using the elementals. The PCs got thrown overboard, caught on an threw the minotaur into the drink, where he crit failed and drowned.. awesome and fun encounter...

Macbeth! Certainly one of my favorite lines of any Shakespeare.
