    D&D 4E Seeking 4e PbP advice

    Hi everyone, I am recently putting together a campaign for me and my D&D buddies, who have all moved apart. Best RPers I have played with, even if they have never all played with each other. Anyway, I was wondering if anybody had experience with play-by-post games, especially D&D4. Most...

    Abjurer, a ranged defender

    We do not need to make the Abjurer a build or subclass of the wizard to get the "big name spells" we want. If we did,, it would inherit ALL wizard spells of any given, which is no good. What we could do is simply put certain powers from the Wizard list on the Abjurer list - exceptions, not...

    Abjurer, a ranged defender

    I love the discussion that is going on here - or at least the insights that some are putting forward. Quickleaf - I love what is going on with your abjurer. I am using my program for formatting classes to work on yours because, well, I really like it. To me, the Gandalf/DA2 aspect really comes...

    Abjurer, a ranged defender

    From what I can see of the class, this is awesome! But I can't see past the first page of the document, and I can only see it because of the pic in the OP. Am I missing something? Where can I read the full writeup?

    What is a simple war game to simulate, well, a war in D&D

    It's that time again. The Evil Man is locked up in his super-fortress surrounded by undead. The Heroes can either Teleport into his base... Or they can aid the army in the final strike against the monstrous horde and the evil citadel. Provided the later choice is selected, I need a way to...

    Campaign management software (recommendations?)

    I highly recommend Masterplan. The only problem is that you have to create or find monster/item/etc directories by your self. Older versions of it can take entries from the Compendium, but even the new versions can take custom creatures from Adventure Tools XML files. Masterplan It is really...

    Purple Index Cards: On-the-Fly Setting and Plot Collaboration

    I vote that "Authentic Frontier Gibberish" be changed in name to "Oh Stewardess, I Speak Jive"

    Purple Index Cards: On-the-Fly Setting and Plot Collaboration

    I certainly understand not liking my "hurt the party" business; my group likes this simply because they are willing to face additional trials for more awesome storyline. Having completed Avatar, I came up with two more cards. Change of Heart Reveal this card to declare that an enemy defects...

    Purple Index Cards: On-the-Fly Setting and Plot Collaboration

    I've been watching Avatar, The Last Airbender. SUCH a D&D-type show, and obviously purple cards were in play! I got inspired, and thought up these two. Exit, Pursued By a Bear Play this card to declare that a fearsome and hostile creature has entered the battlefield. Describe the creature...

    Purple Index Cards: On-the-Fly Setting and Plot Collaboration

    I want to share the most epic thing that ever happened with Purple Cards in my campaign. Basically, using the card used to create an all new NPC, a player introduced a commander in the dragonborn kingdom's army (warlord). Another player, in a loose interpretation of "It was I the whole time,"...

    Purple Index Cards: On-the-Fly Setting and Plot Collaboration

    I just want to say that I use this system in my campaign that I have been running for about a year. We introduced the cards about half-way through, and it has been AMAZING ever since. I call the purple cards "Turnabouts," as per Phoenix Wright. The only thing I do not find awesome about this...

    Ding! We have a winner! Thanks for this idea, now I have something concrete to go on! Thank you.

    Level 1 combat-heavy one shot 4e game. Help?

    Hello all, Later this week, I plan on hosting (and running) a one shot 4e game. It will be a level one game, and it will be combat heavy (lots of newbies to D&D, particularly 4e, so we want to fight lots of things, and fast). The only problem is that I have little inspiration as to what the...

    Revised XP progression

    Humm... so, the number of monsters you have to fight to level up goes up by level? Sounds like MMO-esque grinding to me. Sorry folks, but I play D&D to get away from grinding, so no bites on that fish hook over here.

    Modified Paragon Multiclassing

    Here is my opinion. What do you guys think? Your powers are not as powerful as the PP powers, and most of your class features are not either. The only broken instances are for Strikers, which are kind of broken anyway. A way I think that that can be fixed is that these "bonus damage"...

    Action Point Tokens: A Mechanical Incentive to RP

    I almost flipped my lid when our group had SEVEN people! How do you guys even play? Do you all sit at the same table? O.O

    1/2 Orc - A new page for an old race

    I never thought I would hear myself say this, but... I like. And this, coming from the guy who HATES half orcs. With this perspective and mechanics, I might actually use/permit these in my campaign. I have only a few suggestions. One, feats, please. Also, just as half-orcs and half-elves...

    Action Point Tokens: A Mechanical Incentive to RP

    Originally posted by me here . OK, so I am aware that there are many people who are irritated with 4e because it removes mechanical incentive to RP. Well, I think that there should be a mechanical incentive to RP. Unlike 3e, that took away Paladin powers if they went evil or screwed over...

    D&D 4E The (lack of a) Bag of Rats Problem in 4e

    Page 40 of the Fourth Edition DMG discusses battle tactics and etiquette for DMs. One thing struck me here in particular: I feel like there are some things put into 4e simply to appease the online critics, and rightly so! Thank you, ENWorld, for making 4e AWESOME!

    Only 2 PC's - DM run character class should be ___?

    Ideally, I would either ask some guys from the many person campaign to go to the small one, or I would let each person in the two person campaign run two characters. The 4e DMG has something to say about multiple characters for one player. Mainly, avoid overloading a player, avoid awkward...
