    D&D 4E New gamemaster to 4e

    it comes from the forgotten realms players guide. Its quite unique, too! Though my player is sticking to the infernal pact as it simply is awesome and another reason to pump constitution is never a bad thing. I am not sure how the shaman will feel about someone who communes with unnatural forces...

    D&D 4E New gamemaster to 4e

    We rarely use magic items, Right now we have a dwarf world speaker shaman, a goliath fighter and a human warlock. He wants to take the infernal pact but not pump constitution so hes thinking the sorcerer king pact. I told him fine but the pact will not have any dark sun related flavor. To be...

    D&D 4E New gamemaster to 4e

    well, we are still trying things out and figuring out what we like. Though for our story of orcus reawakening, avenger has a rather high chance of being one. Possibly avenger/shaman/knight as that would be an effective spread of not dying. Though the knight could easily be a fighter, it just...

    D&D 4E List of Potential New Martial Practices

    Epic rocky-esque training montage? I kid, I kid. Maybe something related to building pain tolerance like the pain taster from pathfinder. Or something like focusing on controling involuntary functions. But something related to the fact that no matter who you are,what race you are, the fact you...

    D&D 4E New gamemaster to 4e

    Alright then. I told him to take the binder, stuff it in an envelope, mail it to the raven queen cleverly disguised as a book of undead summoning and hope it works. We fed the goliath runepriest to asmodeus. Now my players are looking at the warder,the shaman and as normal, the warlock.....Any...

    D&D 4E New gamemaster to 4e

    Yeah, the runepriests problems reared up pretty much immediately: The player wants to be a defender, but hates the fact he would have to spread himself between constitution, strength and wisdom to really put it off. He kinda had an "ah damnit" moment and regrets this very much. We have a...

    D&D 5E (2014) Capricious Home Rules and DM Pet Peeves

    necroposting but this is a great thread, my group has been together for quite a few years so a lot of our rules aren't written down and are just something we know instinctually, so trying to put them into words will be difficult. Anything the players can do, the gamemaster can do if you minmax...

    D&D 4E New gamemaster to 4e

    I have run for this group many times with other systems, they know eachothers tactics pretty well and are more than capable of taking on foes fit for larger parties via strategic use of terrain, NPC helpers and items. You would be surprised at how effective three player characters can be when...

    D&D 4E New gamemaster to 4e

    We are running a session tonight, we have a half orc rogue who can only be described as crankily optimistic, a goliath runepriest who forgets that he is a goliath and just assumes that everyone can do what he does (meaning when a halfling is trying to escape from a locked prison cell, he ends up...

    D&D 4E New gamemaster to 4e

    Balance in dungeons & dragons is, -for lack of a non controversal analog- not a thing normally, so when we DO get some semblance of balance, it gets blown out of proportion as being too much. when it reality, it was just barely enough to even be considered balanced. (I had an analog of american...

    D&D 4E New gamemaster to 4e

    Trying to find the inherent bonuses, brain fart is preventing me from doing so. The only Essentials classes I might allow are the hexblade, the knight,the beserker and the artificer, with some other stuff allowed on a case by case basis as its brought to my attention. I probably won't adjust the...

    D&D 4E New gamemaster to 4e

    I recently got all released fourth edition books as a gift and I have been looking over them and noticed that the essentials classes feel like they came out of 3.5 and the third players handbook feels lackluster overall. Does anyone have houserules/errata that fixes this? I already banned the...

    We're All Gamers Together: Why Harassment Has To Stop

    it kinda sickens me that this stuff actually happens, im seventeen and I have one major ground rule at my table: Respect eachother. The fact that a group of adults cannot understand that is absurd and disgusting! How on earth could a group of men who probably were bullied earlier in life inflict...

    My group needs a system!

    Woah woah woah morrus, did you forget the entire bit where after I explained what happened and I DO plan on buying it as I was fustrated at the moment when the first one was posted. I do not hate all games, I claimed I found fate horrible and I felt pathfinder needed to be rebalanced. That is MY...

    My group needs a system!

    we are currently making characters and trying to figure out what we want as a setting, so far the idea is to have it set in our 5E universe but in the far future where times have changed and science has become a thing, magic is still around and used, but no longer the dominating force. One of my...

    My group needs a system!

    I never said any of them were garbage, just that they got shot down by the group or me. The only system I said was garbage was fate, but thats my opinion and my opinion only, if you enjoy fate, enjoy it. I won't start a riot and burn things if you do. The reason we aren't playing 5E is because...

    When Dragons Play Dungeons

    Let them play D&D, I may be seventeen years old, but I am rather sure that by having a specialized DM (a person who shows up once a week and is kept separated from the prisoners by protective glass) and some way to roll the dice without the prisoners touching them would be fine, as prison really...
