    Never going to "Dieing" in combat?

    Hi wondered what people think of this idea. Some of the numbers below are intentionally vague as this idea is system unspecific. for obvious reasons these rules only apply to the heros. being "downed" mid combat sucks in roleplay. you just sit thier pointing out that if they don't revive you...

    Paranoia/40K mashup.

    Starting out with Paranoia

    Oh dont get me wrong! playing zap or classic is good fun.(and with demeted scrubbot, good clean fun) but they get too zap happy when I try to run a compaign. the adding 1 wound per endurance and popping in an extra damage level above dead, means players finishing a firefight as a cripple not...

    a rulset to handle multilevel partys.

    Lfr fails to do what you say. The 4 level wide option gap is actually innate within the balance of 4e. The reason I think this will work is because it uses the XP slope to allow lower level characters to catch up while giving those lower level characters a survivable build.

    a rulset to handle multilevel partys.

    When I say lower level I mean 4 or more levels. And characters would not be more powerful tha the original characters. Lack of powers, kit,feats and surges would ensure that. The curving XP chart was there for a reason, else encounters would have the same XP no matter your level, just the...

    a rulset to handle multilevel partys.

    There are two reasons for this system. 1. The everybody starts at 1st level feel. 2. The feeling players get of safety, he punish me for my stupidy. As ill just get the same character back with a different name. 3players can join or leave a campaign at will.thier character is put on ice...

    D&D 4E My Special Rules for Nine Alignments in 4E

    i think that the problems with 9 fold system is that they took an idea(two scales) and produced a table. on that table there seems to be three points that caused problems. the neutrals. however if neutrals are so neutral then they lack motivation for chaos or order. add to that that allignments...

    Income Subsystem

    another post pointed out that well....adventureres were too rich compared to the commoners.. and wanted to "fix it" so if 5th level are the 1 in 100 people in society then they are going to be pretty flush and wont be working at the equivlant of mackyDs(other low heath food chains are avalible)

    D&D 4E D&D 4e Character Builder (Made in Java)

    i'd be happy to test, suggest ideas and submit data. however considering the fact that once you start distibuting this to the public you may come into conflict with the BBEWOTC. therefore I'd suggest breaking this project into two. 1)the core code that handles most of the processing. you can...

    a rulset to handle multilevel partys.

    Exactly, i seems that the extra xp gained would be enough if the gap was small enough?? i dont have the tables and havent checked, if or when this would fail. ..... just did some maths and seems worse at lower levels. you catch up within 6 levels, at which point you drop behind 3 levels at the...

    a rulset to handle multilevel partys.

    Ok this idea just pinged into my head so bear with me if its a bit rough. starting with an equal party: 1)keep a count of gold/equipment rewards as each party member levels make a note of the average payout at each level. 2)when a chararcter dies. allow the player to roll up another. 3)level...
