    Nentir Vale Player's map

    Is it just me, or the picture is so small you can't read anything? I even created an account at Phototbucket, but it didn't solve anything... Oh, I get it! It's the mobile.photobucket... can you share the full version? please pretty please? :D

    Random ideas

    I like where you're going. :) Also, check out the Wizards Homebrew and House Rules forum for a simplified class called "Warrior". It trades encounter/daily powers for minor/major boosts (+[w] damage on a basic attack) and it has a mechanic called flourishs that look just like your "add-ons"...

    Brainstorm: Daily Exploits & Quests

    I think I understand what you want, and if I do, I wouldn't limit this to Exploits only Essentialy, what you want may be a new kind of power: a Quest Power. They would work like terrain powers, and are available to every PC who meets a certain pre-req (like having certain class, race, skill or...

    Design and Development: Battlemind---going... going... gone

    Am I the only one who sees the potential for a Samurai in the Battlemind class? I mean, an armored warrior with 'strange powers' who instill fear into the heart of his enemies? All he needs is a big scary helm and a sword...

    D&D 4E Re-examining 4e Wizard Class Features

    How about the wizard spending a magic item daily use to cast an Arcana ritual with no cost and a bonus equal to his implement enhancement bonus, as long as the ritual is of a lower level than the implement in question? The type of ritual could be tied to the type of implement (like divination...

    Vancian magic and 4e

    Agreed. So how about making the spellbook class feature a bit more Vancian, and making it available (or mandatory) for clerics, druids, shamans, warlocks...? Could this help achieve the OP's goals?

    Random Challenge Level

    The way I see it, the table could be simplified. Something like: starting from Hex A, moving towards Hex B, the challenge level of B is the same as A plus a simple modifier... d20 Modifier -------------- 1 -2 2-3 -1 4-12 +0 13-15 +1 17-18 +2 19-20 +3 Is this...

    Who Else likes the Cantina?

    Well, for me, this is the reason why I like them in the first place. They are relatable. You know how a human acts, thinks and (more importantly) feels. So its easier for noobs to roleplay them. I said "for noobs". It might be difficult for some to understand why you kill monsters, when...

    PHB3 In Hand...

    About the runepriest's runes, how do you activate/switch between them? Is it "whenever you use a runepriest attack power"? Or do you have to use a minor action to draw and it stays in effect until the end of encounter or next turn...?

    Ability scores do not affect attacks/defenses

    I know, and I'm concerned as well. The only thing I can think of is adding something like... but I don't think anyone wants that... :erm:

    Somebodies got PHB3!

    Regarding skill powers, isn't that kinda like what we wanted? Generic powers available to all characters? Perhaps we said something about generic power source related powers, true, but hey, if they want to emphasize skill use first, who am I to judge?

    Two related rules: Christianity and Earth

    You know, I didnt mention any saint because the names I know are in portuguese and they might have been different than yours (for example, from what I know, James is translated as Tiago, and both Joseph and Joshua are "José"), but mostly because I'm not very "knowledgeable" when it comes to...

    Two related rules: Christianity and Earth

    Have you seen/read The mists of Avalons (not sure if the name is right)? There ceirtainly is a lot of magic (only without the ooomph of d&d) and Avalon itself seems to be located in the feywild, with the witches 'opening the portal' to it through the mists. I wouldn't ban arcane classes, only...

    Companion characters as PC

    But then, if a CC really is weaker than a regular PC, how could you run a party of CCs instead of PCs without tweaking encounters? I ask because I want to do that. :) I think it's clear that they are weaker when you look at their pseudo class features, wich could be rewritten for this special...

    DOLLHOUSE #3:Belle Chose/Season 2/2009

    Loved this episode more than the others of this season. I think Echo's engagement was interesting in that it offered a bit of knowledge about what was going on inside Terry's mind: when she was discussing "Chauncy" with the professor, they talked about the power of women and how subtletly they...

    Solo play options

    You should try Dungeon Plungin: it's a free print-and-play boardgame that's meant to emulate those fine days of random dungeon crawling and hack-n-slashing fun. I don't think the rules are that great, but they work. It doesn't need a GM, as everything is determined randomly with dice and tables...

    Reducing PC HP for more challenging fights? By how much? (Shorter fights problem.)

    Hmmm... how about using just the attack roll for this added variety? Like, if it's an even number, add 1d6; if it's odd number, subtract 1d6. Maybe scale it per tier (either 1d6 per tier or H:1d6, P:1d8, E:1d10). You could even roll this damage variation only once per round, encounter, day or...

    Reintroducing vancian magic for rituals

    You know, I thought about that before too. This would work in addition to the current ritual casting rules. I thought about giving the wizard a couple of vancian slots based on his level, something like 1 every 3 levels, so at 30th level he has 10 spell slots. Like older editions, each slot...

    A Thought Exercise... Making a One-Shot/"Pickup" RPG

    When I was in high school, we had 20-30 min breakes between classes, so we ran a game for people who never played RPGs before using paper-rock-scisors contests to adjucate challenges. Sometimes, when the players tried anything the GM thought was two hard, we did best-of-three, or five. The...
