    About Reveille

    I've purposefully stayed quiet on this until now as I really didn't know Rev, but I've seen this kind of behavior many, many times going as far back as my time on BBS/Telnet (before there was an Internet). Its always sad to see, but in truth, its inevitable in this anonymous environment. I...

    Stalker0's Obsidian Skill Challenge System (NEW VERSION: 1.2!!!)

    Emphasis mine... Care to share those Skill Challenges as a supplement to the system? I'd love to see the skill challenges made in the system by its creator.

    Official WotC Power Cards... meh

    They probably expect people to use card sleeves like used in MtG.

    New Weapon: Polehammer

    This was exactly my thought on the damage. I wanted to keep it as close to the existing weapons as possible. I honestly thought about this. Everyone considers the new AV weapons (especially hammers) to be superior to the PHB weapons. What I was thinking was having the Polehammer as the Military...

    Does Dragon Magic Sorcerer = Trap?

    Personally, I see the biggest trap in the Sorcerer being that their Burst/Blast spells are as dangerous to their party as to the enemy. All of the spells we've seen so far are "Each creature in burst/blast" not 'Each enemy'. It will take a lot of tactics for a burst/blast build sorcerer to...

    New Weapon: Polehammer

    Looking for comments on the following weapon design. Are they any problems or is it balanced? Thanks. Polehammer: First developed by dwarves, this reach weapon resembles a halberd but with a solid hammer face rather than an axe face. Polehammer Two-Handed Military Weapon Proficiency: +2...

    Applying a Template to a PC

    IMHO, a wizard turning into a Lich should be done as an Epic Destiny. For other "template" concepts, I also suggest checking out the Dhampyr article for an example of how to do such "templating" through feats.

    Rituals Via Spellpoints?

    I'm glad to see this thread still getting a little discussion. I apologize for being away but my father-in-law passed away this weekend and was in the hospital for the week prior, so its been a bit crazy here. My $0.02 worth, from personal play testing is that the ritual costs are simply too...

    Rituals Via Spellpoints?

    Rituals are meant to be the filler for the "missing" magic in the 4E system that casters lost when moving to the Combat Only ability model. All of the non-combat magic that really defines a caster. A wizard is not just Magic Missile. The class assumes the use of rituals since Ritual Caster is a...

    Making adjustments to Rituals?

    These are my proposed changes to rituals from another thread.

    Rituals Via Spellpoints?

    The problem I have with rituals is based entirely on the Component Cost aspect of the system. Ritual Casters have to spend an exorbitant amount of money to do something that should be a basic class function. Personally, and I know not everyone feels this way, I think that a class like the wizard...

    Rituals Via Spellpoints?

    I am currently a bit disappointed in the monetary requirement on the use of rituals. Ritual spells should be more readily usable by those who know how to cast them and not so heavily reliant on the DM passing out the appropriate treasure levels. Has anyone thought about allowing rituals to be...

    Making your own power cards

    Don't have it handy so not sure which page it is, but right in the beginning of the set is a "How to Print multiple cards to a page" instruction card. Its basically a simple setup for printing the pdf.

    Digital Insider #14

    Does it seem odd to anyone else that they bothered to place a "download here" in the first question even though there is nothing to download yet?

    D&D 3.x Action Points 3.5 vs 4.0

    I don't. The elf still gets their edge in that they still get a guaranteed re-roll per encounter and can choose to use the action point for either. I don't allow a re-roll of a re-roll however. An elf has to use their re-rolls on 2 separate rolls.

    Coming Soon for 4E - Races of Fantasy: The Elohim

    Just a quick note. I would definitely suggest trying to reduce the background image, either to a watermark image or managing to reduce the image to a grayscale version, converting the black (even at 15%) to gray.

    D&D 3.x Action Points 3.5 vs 4.0

    I too have been looking into re-doing Action Points. I too feel that 1 Action Point PER encounter is the best balance (not 1 every other). I additionally agree that allowing the Action Point to be Either a bonus action OR a Re-roll works great.

    Cross-gender PCs

    I always have two examples that I throw in as argument against the anti-cross-gender attitudes in gaming: Shakespeare Monty Python 'Nuff said.

    WotC changes how D&D mini's are going to be sold.

    Personally, I think the male/female aspect of the setup makes no sense from a product marketing standpoint. Why 3 minis with a split of 2 male and 1 female? This is a very odd setup and combination. Not to mention it definitely means there will be lots of possible combinations ignored. Why...

    New Class Concept: Shadow Knight (Level 1 + Feats)

    First & last bump to see if anyone has any comments on the concepts for this class idea. Is it worth expanding? Inherently flawed? Repetitive? Or just non-inspiring? etc...
