    D&D 4E New gamemaster to 4e

    we don't have a cleric, we have a deathwarden. At level two, theres not much a deathwarden can do against them other than hit them with cold, psychic and fire. Our fighter provoked an interesting debate/arguement with the rogue. He took battlerager vigor, then his first feat proficency was...

    D&D 4E New gamemaster to 4e

    That was probably what I was doing wrong, I typically kept it to three monsters per encounter. I am still going to use MM1 for a few monsters and I do have errata for the books. Tony, if you want, I can PM you a link to forgotten heroes, scythe and shroud. Mostly because my group is about to...

    D&D 4E New gamemaster to 4e

    Well, my players tend to make a bunch of characters they want to try out and at earlier levels I am more inclined to say yes. They have reached level two though! Now we just need to see if they can make it to level five. I gave them inherent bonuses so jagged daggers shouldn't be a problem...

    D&D 4E New gamemaster to 4e

    Well, it looks like our rogue wasted a feat then. She was aiming to go for daggermaster with a kukuri. Oh well, she doesn't really have any backstory outside of she was dumped at an orphanage dedicated to the raven queen holding a letter. Shes now seeking her parents. She is a rogue since shes a...

    D&D 4E New gamemaster to 4e

    The three characters we had didn't work out. Too high expectations, not enough reality. The goliath became a fighter, the human cleric became a deathwarden and we have a half orc rogue. I have a question though, The adventurers vault says that the kukuri counts as a dagger for the rogues weapon...

    D&D 4E New gamemaster to 4e

    Our group consists of a goliath skirmisher (savage warrior from expeditious retreat publishing) who was hired by the human cleric of pelor to protect him on his quest to understand the mysterious prophecies he keeps recieving. The eladrin assassin (goodman games)-despite the fact that her powers...

    Well, I still want to know if the changes are any good or too good or what. We also have a goodman games assassin now. Very unique class.

    D&D 4E New gamemaster to 4e

    can someone please look at the modifications I made to the cleric class to make sure I didn't accidentally break everything? We are switching our bard to a human cleric of pelor, but I modified some of the class features so battle cleric's lore is not as awesome.

    D&D 4E New gamemaster to 4e

    Its goodman games fang fist and song. I quite like the work they did and it also provides a different barbarian, a defender rather than a striker. I do like the flavor behind their scythe and shroud more though. It provides a more classic 4e assassin, as well as a necromancer, an alternate...

    D&D 4E New gamemaster to 4e

    Anyone know how balanced the forgotten heroes from goodman games are? The spiritsworn looks interesting. I also redid the clerics healing lore, divine fortune and battle clerics lore. Healing lore: You gain a +2/4/6 shield bonus to AC and standard healers lore ability Divine fortune...

    D&D 4E New gamemaster to 4e

    Well, we also are looking at the forgotten heroes books. Mostly scythe and shroud. The reason being is that they have a more classic 4E assassin and a non psionic monk. Plus a class called the spiritsworn, a paladin that is powered by the spirits of the dead.

    D&D 5E (2014) Sidelining Players- the Good, the Bad, the Ugly, and the Poll

    Generally speaking, if you sideline players, let them play NPCs or monsters for the rest of the sideline, it can be awesome for them to step out of their comfort zone of roleplaying and can allow them to dip their toes into playing a villan. I honestly want to try a session where one player is...

    D&D 5E (2014) What does balance mean to you?

    Balance means- in my honest opinion- Using the backbone radiance RPG developed as your core system and building carefully off of it. It has to be the best balanced system ever made, no one is overpowered and no one is underpowered. No one has more health than another. All it really needs is more...

    D&D 4E New gamemaster to 4e

    Before we got too far in our campaign, our bard player dropped a few bucks on me and got me admant entertainments warlock pacts. Does anyone know how balanced they are? Some of them look really neat and I would be interested in seeing them in play. The pacts are: Ghost,blood,dragon,vermin and...

    D&D 4E New gamemaster to 4e

    we don't use themes or backgrounds and magic items are pretty limited just to prevent the game from relying completely on magic items. They exist and are a thing you can get, but you won't need them to be good at adventuring. We have a tiefling bard, a goliath warden and a half orc rogue trying...

    D&D 4E New gamemaster to 4e

    after the fiasco with the pathfinder synthesist/paladin multiclass a few years back, multiclassing is banned. Forever. Anyone who brings it up at my table will be exiled and shamed and then mailed to australia. I managed to find a workaround for the missing pages/corrupted files that may not be...

    D&D 4E New gamemaster to 4e

    Update: We couldn't run any sessions because I went to open the monster vault and found the files had been corrupted. I hadn't checked them before since there was a lot to dig through so I didn't catch it until now. My copy of the third monster manual is missing nearly all the content and I...

    D&D 4E New gamemaster to 4e

    Well, tonight is the first session with these three and I am going to try to avoid having to watch the neighbors puppies, so we should have fun. I will just be keeping an eye on the hexblade for now.The worst that can happen is the player doesn't have fun and she managed to make a dwarf fighter...

    D&D 4E New gamemaster to 4e

    speaking of mage the awakening, how rules light are those games? I haven't found anything on them. Also, our warlock is now a hexblade with the star pact. We didn't get much done due to me not being able to run any sessions because of a very snuggly and very exicted pitbull/boxer/german sheperd...
