I must be spending way too much time on this place, 'cause I just got my very first "you must spread experience around before giving it to KidSnide again" note... :) 4e combat is lot more dinamic, with combat advantage and skills and teamwork and special terrain and everything, even if you only...

I couldn't listen to the podcast yesterday, no sound at work, which unfortunatly does NOT mean silence, with all the machines working outside my office, but anyway... this was one of the podcast I was really eager to listen (if there was ever one before). I love that they are experimenting with...

Though they lack some utility spells, anything the wizard and the elf in the arcade game can cast: magic missile invisibility fireball lightning bolt haste firewall ice storm projected image polymorph other conjure elemental reverse gravity flesh to stone cloud kill meteor swarm power word...

Exactly! So I can come up with a theme, like "Court Magician", and take that instead of Arcane Initiate even though my class is rogue or cleric, instead of using a feat slot to account for an ability which is merely there for flavor. Yes, they are setting specific... for now. ;)

Broken, I don't know, but it would be great for newbies and also different enough from the warlock's curse, which makes me like it even more. If you need to depower it, though adding complexity, you could perhaps change it by requiring a minor action for the archer to study his enemy from afar...

I like what I hear. I'm wondering if they could be used as another (maybe simpler) multiclassing option. An at-will as an encounter doesn't sound all too different than Arcane Initiate (wizard multiclass?)... or the half-elf racial power, for that matter.

I like this! :) If "cleaned" up and colored, they would be amazing! TIP: if you like cute monsters, check out the Dungeon Plungin resources on Welcome to oVeRsOuL gAmEz

No, there's nothing about Ritual Casting on the article, but we don't know what Aprentice, Expert and Master Mage means. They could very well have rituals from the school you choose to specialize. And I hope they errata the older spells to add the new school keywords, but only with a list of...

hmmm... I like it as a class feature, but wasn't this was supposed to be the warlock's shtick? Actually, it's better than the current warlock, as he is forced to take Eldritch Blast as one of his two at-wills. I think I can almost smell an errata... :) And Arc Lightning just robbed the greatest...

I've seen mentioned somewhere (Wizard's forum?) to award boons and other inherent bonuses as a reward for a personal minor quest: everyone gets XP when they help you avenge your father, but you get a (very special) permanent +1... This helps/encourages players to come up with all sorts of...

Thanks, but what I had in mind was a bit different... :blush: the Magic User, for instance, would have the same attacks he has in game: Magic Missile, Fireball, Lighting Bolt, Flesh to Stone, Conjure Elemental, etc. You know, the classic old school spell names, for that old school charm. The...

True, but like they said, it's hard to adjucate which is better: "2d6 dmg + prone" or "1d4 dmg + dazed (save ends)", specially when you don't even know which dice is which. It's actually worse, because you have many more powers to compare... In fact, my favorite line on the article is the one...

I don't know why, but I thought about an Illithiad Master Brain... ... only, it would be run by trolls. With opposing ideas and goals. And porn. Scary place that...

Well, one thing that it offers is a new look at the classic classes, which some of us love more than the newer classes they've come up with. How many more runepriests and seekers do we need to see in PHB4? Revisiting content in new ways is what I think, as an "experienced" 4e player, is the best...

No hurry at all, I'm just suggesting it because I thought of doing it once but I'm too lazy to do it myself. :P

Hmm... I have a request. Sort of. :p The classic D&D party, with that old school feel (to bring new players into or back to the game). I suppose Heroic Levels 1, 5 or 10 would be just fine. Thank you. :)

If Magic Set Editor doesn't work, I don't know about mac-related card creation programs... :( But if all else fails, you could try www.godeckyourself.com ... it's a bit slow (for me), but it does the trick :P Oh, and also: amazing ideas on this thread! :)

This is not a house rule, yet. Just some random thoughts I haven't seen anyone else mention on the forums. I'm not sure it should be on General, so I'm posting it here, because it might become a House Rule. I've been thinking about how Point Buy at character creation and stat increases (at 4th...

OR, you could roll 1d6, add only your bonuses, then let the Gamemaster roll 1d6 and add his bonus (you know, the penalties you'd take) and subtract them from your total. Kinda like, opposed checks... now, where have we seen that before? :hmm: :p
