    Injuries

    I find injuries can be good tool and can help add pressure to the game, but if used too often can just become a annoyance. Sure if a PC fails a check while doing something dangerous or stupid, it may be appropriate to brake a knee cap or lose a limb. But if your punishing the party after every...

    Building costs in 4th Edition

    There isn't a set price in the books as far as I recall, but dragon magazine 395 set up prices. For the most part, it's set up so that each section of a stronghold costs a different price, and you get a bonus to certain skills when in different rooms. For example, when in your throne room you...

    Tips when building Dungeons.

    Thanks for all the Ideas. To be clear, I was wanting help more with layout and geography. Story telling is one of my finer skills, it's just that the background details seemed to be dull (Your in a cave. It has rock walls... very cave like...). It also, despite finding interesting monsters that...

    D&D 4E Arctic Dwarves in 4E

    I can see that working. Besides making more systematically fair, it also adds role playing depth into the difference between Normal and Arctic Dwarves. Plus, at least in most campaigns, starvation rarely becomes an issue, thus is never touched. To bad there isn't an Arctic in Dark Sun...

    What non-"essential" characters do you play?

    Agreed. The only thing is the game I have him in is an all Striker team, so I rarely get more than 2 shrouds on anything before it dies. :( I DM mostly, and my PCs lean heavily on PH1. Except the Voidsoul Gensai Swordmage.

    Paladin of Love

    I always thought it would be fun to play a Paladin who justifies prostitution due to that everyone ought to be able to to enjoy the thrills of love. I called him a Pimpadin.

    New Power Source

    Assassin. The only true shadow power class. Well, unless you count vampire. Either way, my point is that WOTC have done it before. This made me sad. Monk is just odd as a psionic class, it dosn't even use the same power system as the other psionics. Plus, it would of been really interesting to...

    D&D 4E Arctic Dwarves in 4E

    Seems pretty balanced, but you might want to replace Cast-Iron Stomach, seeing how they gain cold resistance. Just doesn't seem right to have cold resistance and a bonus to poison saving-throws. But that might just be me.
