    The Slow Death of Epic Tier

    Where to start on Heracles? Birth is most likely best. Strangled two divinely sent serpents as a newborn baby, one in each hand. Strangled the Nemean Lion whose hide could not be peirce by arrow or blade and turned its hide into his famous armor after skinning it with its own claws. Slew 8 of...

    The Slow Death of Epic Tier

    I have heard Heracles mentioned several times as an "epic level hero". Not being too familiar with all the details of the hercules legend, what made him so epic? From what I gather he was really really strong and beat a lot of big monsters. Sounds upper paragon perhaps, but Dnd epic level?

    Elder Red Dragon preview is up

    I like it. This dragon has several tactical choices built into it for both the players and DMs. Player choices: Use a stun/dominate to stop Instinctive Assault or Delay and stop the main action. Who should move in an attempt to draw out the Tail Strike. DM choices: Who should the Tail Strike...

    4e D&D GSL Live

    Mr. Mucchiello, I'm no lawyer, but I don't see anything in 10.1 or 10.3 that makes Licensees "WotC watchdogs." What I do see is that 10.3 is a clause (if that is the right word) that allows WotC to call Licensees up as witnesses. Read S.9 again. It states that WotC can request a copy to see if...

    Excerpt: Archons (merged)

    It looks like Elves are very good at fighting Ice Archons.

    I miss CG

    I don't think that Nazis, Amoral Businessmen and Corrupt Lawyers qualify as Lawful Evil. They are more like Organized Evil.

    How're we supposed to divvy the loot?

    Another possibility is based on the Item level system as it appears in the MIC: A level X item is worth about as much as 2 item X-2s. Also +X bonus items could be a single X item but be purchased as several different items. In the MIC, a +3 longsword is a level 12 item, but can be treated as a...

    D&D 4E [Eberron] Dragonmarks in 4E

    One possibility is to do something similar to the multiclassing feats: Dragonmark - Marked Race - "House" Skill Training, Minor House benefit Least Dragonmark Power - Any Dragonmark, 4th level - Swap one encounter power with one of the Dragonmark's Lesser Dragonmark Power - Any Dragonmark...

    Excerpt: Economies [merged]

    I think the magical equipment bonus will be something like 2-4: +1, 5-8: +2, 9-12: +3... 25-28: +7, 29-30: +8. One of the clue they gave out way back in August was +8 wand.

    It looks like Tony DiTerlizzi drew the new version. Or someone mimicking his new style.

    Epic Destinies and Earth Giants

    It sound like you are looking for paragon not epic. Paragon has the giant fight going the way you want. At Epic, Earth Titans are mooks and the Godlike Earth Primordial the characters are fighting just had his fist stopped by one hand of the fighter. Just a question for all of those posters who...

    Orcs preview

    No, minions are not supposed to cover outmatched enemies, but are supposed to represent Mooks, the guys in media that fall down on a successful hit. Is taking out only 75% of the active creditable threats at one time really so bad? Sure you could take out a swarm of enemies in previous...

    Orcs preview

    The only ways that wound happen is if the boss had already been weakened or that the pcs were a high enough level that the boss was not a threat and at that point is would be pretty obvious that the player had just rolled really bad.

    Traps preview

    I'm guessing standard actions are more likely than move actions, but the possibility of multiple characters working together to disable the trap does sound plausible. Bishmon much of what you suggested either is very specific to the trap at hand (Arcana with magic traps), a fancy way of...

    D&D 4E d20 Modern 4E - I want it!

    One possibility for the (Ability) Hero idea is to have them as the Modern equivalent of races. This would allow 6 "races" each with their own built in "racial" qualities and "racial" feats. I was also thinking that weapons would look like this: Weapon Prof. Damage Range Cost Weight...

    Shinobi - My Take on a Naruto Based Class

    Your chakra bug counter is a little flimsier than you think. The reason: Dispel Magic. The 4th edition version quite simply gets rid of a target zone or conjuration as long as it can successfully beat the creators will defense. This means that an Arcane spell can get rid of Arcane, Psionic...
