It's kinda disappointing to me that all of the ranger powers preclude making effective use of heavy thrown weapons. It's kind of odd, actually — it's not like the powers in question always only work with Dex: if you're using a melee weapon they use Str instead. It seems like an oversight that...

So give each character the HP from both classes.

In the meantime, you could use the Plane of Shadow material in 3.5E's Manual of the Planes, possibly merged with aspects of the Negative Energy Plane in places.

Rather than 2 characters each, one might try the "gestalt" approach — each player has one character, but that character has two classes, getting the powers and features of each, but only one character's worth of actions per turn. Probably using a higher-than-normal point buy, too — just...

I like it as something without material components and without a long casting time: the druid plucks the berries and they become blessed. Or, for the sake of making the power useful somewhere other than a berry patch, takes them from a satchel as the power says.

Maybe. If you use the shapes suggested in your graphic, you basically have to use templates in order to be reasonably speedy. The "everything is square" abstraction makes it incredibly fast to just eyeball everything.

You can do straight walls with hexes just fine. You just have to remember that the people building the walls didn't have the benefit of a grid to align things with.

Hmm. Do you think the four existing roles completely describe all possible combat niches?

Ping. Also, still worried about those gloves. :)

But the ability doesn't count against your regular movement — you move instantly. (By definition, all teleport powers work this way.) I'd rule that if you have a move action available, you can subtract up to 25 feet from the distance of your fall.

Think of them like small deer unicorn, not big charger warhorse unicorn. Which makes Dex instead of Str make sense, really. There probably needs to be some mention of the rule that quadrupeds can carry 25% more than bipeds. And even though there don't seem to be 4E rules that make four-legged...

That doesn't guarantee that they won't also print the bard in the book, maybe exactly as in Dragon or with updates.

And presumably as long as we keep buying them there will be no need for 5E. :)

Isn't that either a) a paladin or b) a fighter multiclassed into paladin or possibly cleric?

Well, like I said in the last one, I'll still play 3.x if that's the game of choice, but I don't intend to run it ever again (except for maybe in the form of E6).

I'll still play 3.x, but I'm not going to DM it anymore.

That's how I read it.

And while we're waiting, I highly recommend reading Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell by Susanna Clarke. And/or, on a much smaller scale, Tolkien's short story Smith of Wootton Major.

I'm not conviced that this should be done entirely with feats. A few more channel divinity feats would be good (at least one more heroic feat for each deity, plus one each for the other tiers as well), but beyond that, I'd like to see a broad selection of powers tied to specific domain-like...

Not by default it doesn't. It's much more restrained. However, I think allowing a whole-class switch has a place in many long-running games, so I made some quick but hopefully well-considered rules for it.
