    D&D 4E Leif's "Revenge of the Giants" [4E] [RG]

    Sariel, LG eladrin warlord 12 (battle captain) Sariel Kalantar was the daughter an eladrin noble (and one of Myth Drannor's senior military commanders) who despaired of her obsessive interest in all things martial -- from stories and legends to training manuals and true histories of war --...

    Leif's "Revenge of the Giants" [4E] Recruiting

    I've been tinkering a little with Sariel's equipment list; dropped an item I don't expect to use (a magic crossbow) and one that improved something she was already good at (helm that gave everyone an initiative bonus) to add a few more rituals to her book (most notably linked portal).

    [4e] drothgery's arcane game - Clash of Steel

    It seems like the too-curious cat is magically linked to someone -- and not your host. The wardings seem designed to prevent scrying and the like.

    [4e] drothgery's arcane game - Clash of Steel

    The cat snuggles up to the swordmage. insight;opposed (1d20+10=29, 1d20=5) ... but somehow, its actions seem more than a little 'off'. "If you wish, I can certainly provide you with access." She says.

    Strip "Background" out of classes

    Of course, since 2001, d20 has been available to derive games from via the OGL and everyone was familiar with the mechanics from D&D so if you wanted to make a class and level game and weren't starting from it you had to have a very, very good reason.

    [4e] drothgery's arcane game - Clash of Steel

    You could only get one success out of intimidate. Not counting this as a success or a failure."I was hoping for a more subtle solution." She said. Lady Daybringer arches an eyebrow at this.1 failure one of the cats seems strangely attentive to the discussion, in a way that touches your...

    Complex fighter pitfalls

    I almost think the Fighter (and any pure martial class, really) probably ought to have a level cap in the 5-10 range (going by prior D&D standards), after which if you want to go on you multiclass to something else and acquire supernatural power somehow (paladin-esque divine champion, eldritch...

    D&D 5E (2014) 5e Skills - Why I Think a Defined Skill List Would Be Better

    I don't think the 'flatter math' of a small-ish bonuse for training (+3 or less) really works well with d20 + ability modifier (as long as we're using 3e/4e style ability modifier progressions); the ability modifier overwhelms training, and I don't think that's a good thing.

    Leif's "Revenge of the Giants" [4E] Recruiting

    *Althous performs some complex monk attack on an enemy* Sariel: I've been wondering something. Althous: What's that? Sariel: You're always dancing around in a fight. It works, but wouldn't it be simpler to just hit them? *commander's strike; Althous does* Althous: Like that? Sariel: It worked...

    Altaruk, on the Sea of Silt (Dark Sun 4E IC)

    "This way." Ardie says, following the ruts and taking the lead. She kept her bow at hand; the others did not need to know that it was when she dropped it that she was the most dangerous. That girl is far to cheerful for this world. So why do I find myself hoping she can stay that way?

    It does, though your basic attacks aren't great so there's not a ton of synergy there. I wouldn't, except that a lot of Sariel's powers are melee range. ... which definitely sounds plausible.

    Leif's "Revenge of the Giants" [4E] Recruiting

    Well, Sariel is definitely not a solo operator; I'd prefer it if one or two PCs had a long-standing history with her. Heck, it wouldn't be surprising if one or two people she was working with at the time were the ones who were actually summoned, and they brought her along. -- irrelevant...

    Leif's "Revenge of the Giants" [4E] Recruiting

    Well, the warlord, monk, sorcerer, and paladin|sorcerer all have 81 +/- 1 hit points. I guess your character has the worst defenses of them on average (except the barbarian, who has the highest HPs in the group to compensate for poor defenses), but it's not by a lot (the barbarian has the same...
