No. Making combat more lethal changes game balance. Cheers, Roger

In that case, I'd be inclined to hack together something based on the boon alternative reward system in DMG2. You want to buy an orphanage? No problem. The god of orphans is so impressed, he watches over your safety, which turns out to have an identical mechanical effect as wearing a Cloak of...

What do you hope to gain from tracking non-adventure resources at all? Cheers, Roger

He can replace Dispel Magic with Feather Fall or Wizard's Escape with Shield, as far as I can tell by my understanding of the rules. Cheers, Roger

I sort of like this, in theory. I think what I'd do is tie it in more explicitly to Paragon Paths. You want to be a Knight Protector when you grow up? Better spend some time on the Battlefields of Zorg. Otherwise that Path doesn't unlock for you. Of course, this is practically begging the...

Yes, it's from the PHB3. It's one of those "allies can score crits on 19-20 until the end of your next turn" sorts of powers.

I'm not aware of any existing At-Will replacement functionality; I presume that is by design. If I wanted to walk down that road, I think I'd implement the whole class and bring back "I'm a 4th-level elf!" Cheers, Roger

The closest extant power might be Hope's Audacity, an at-will for the Ardent class. Cheers, Roger

In a different context, Sid Meier defined a game as " series of interesting choices." I'm inclined to think that grind occurs when: 1. The players are not making choices, or 2. The players are making choices but they're not interesting. So the classic grind situation is "For the 17th round...

It would take a bit of work, but I think if I wanted to build something like that, I'd start with the Ritual framework and work off it. The spells would be mostly cast during the "preparation" phase (which might incur one or more saving throws or other mechanic) with the final discharge being...

Yep, snakes would be good. Or polytheistic cultists in a battle against monotheistic missionaries. But mostly snakes. Cheers, Roger

The example that comes up most often around our table is Second Wind. Cheers, Roger

From the Compendium Glossary entry on Temporary Hit Points: Don’t Add Together: If you get temporary hit points and already have some, use the higher value as your temporary hit point total instead of adding the values together. (Yes, this is an errata compared to earlier definitions.) Hope...

The PHB pages 260-263 covers this topic. Cheers, Roger

Alright. So here's the deal on monster hitpoints, from the DMG pg 184: Skirmisher: 8 + Con + (level * 8) Brute: 10 + Con + (level * 10) Soldier: 8 + Con + (level * 8) Lurker: 6 + Con + (level * 6) Controller: 8 + Con + (level * 8) Artillery: 6 + Con + (level * 6) And the deal on PC...

I'm not entirely sure what you're comparing. Is it: A) Humanoid monsters to non-humanoid monsters, or B) Humanoid monsters to humanoid PCs, or C) Some other thing? I think you're talking about B, but I'm not completely clear on it. Cheers, Roger

If you're looking to create a houserule feat, I'd base it off Eladrin Sword Wizardry. But that's just me. Cheers, Roger

Spider-Man isn't black, but he's also not white either. Hope that helps satisfy your curiosity. Cheers, Roger

No. No. Hope that's helpful. Cheers, Roger
