I haven't read the article, but sure, I can do that reflavoring thing today. But once upon a time - like, 20 years ago - there was a boy - which was me - who did not know he could, and would have apreciated reading an article like this. FWIW, I think it's very hard for a magazine to provide...

I meant exporting to a card format, standartized (sp???) like the power cards in the CB. Powers have different text lenghts and they manage (arguably, of course) to put them all in one card of the same size, so it doesnt become a mess to keep them organized - a simple tuckbox will do (like...

Glad you liked it! :o If I'm not mistaken, I think there are lots of other colors inside the zip. They were designed to follow the old DDM line, and then edited with the 4e colors in mind (you know, PHB blue, DMG red, MM green, magic item yellow, martial power purple...), and a simple B&W for...

I've edited a couple of MSE templates to do just that... it's been a while since I used it, and I can't check it while at work, but I still have it online... betoMSE.rar - D&D, 4th, edition, monster, template, MSE Would this help? PS: what's the status of sharing power/monster cards...

I love it! Gives me an idea for a boardgam'ish, highly deadly, random dungeon crawl one shot. You die, make a new character and keep the game going.

Mechanics aside, am I missing the part of the text that says it has 6 legs? It's quite ironic when you consider the article's introduction... :D

Hmm... what about armor proficiencies? They are pretty generic, and useful (at least for some of the non-Int/Dex primary classes)...

Yeah, I was excited about these hybrid sources, I really thought the paladin should have both. Then again, the warpriest has lots of martial flavor, and it's just divine. Regarding the punishments, I'm thinking the Righteous Radiance power will be a Divine Challenge like power, dealing radiant...

Not saying it couldn't be done, but it's probably very hard (or at least tiresome) to come up with hybrids for the Essentials classes, with all those features of varying "power" spread across 10 levels. Still, I'd like to see someone with better grasp of the system cook it up. Might be easier...

Druids could use trees that had already naturally fallen (due to lightning strikes, for instance) for wood, and animals they offered in sacrifice to their nature goddess in a once-a-year ritual dedicated to the prey-predator aspect of nature. Or after a babecue, your choice. ;)

I like the idea of 2-4 hit minion kills. How about using average damage divided by 5 to estimate how much hits an attack can do. Do the same math to monster's HP and you can bring more than minions to the fray...

Agreed! I like them all. In fact, I wouldn't mind giving SB a 2d6 - but it might be too much, it's just because I like that spell a lot.

Yes, this is interesting! Reminds me of the WoD Storyteller system, where your skills weren't tied to a single ability, like when the gamemaster would ask you to make a [Perception + Occult]* test to notice a supernatural event, and then an [Intelligence + Occult]* test to understand exactly...

I'm impressed with how easy it seems to add new builds and schools for the essentials. I thought they would be hell, with all the different class features spread at different levels. Guess I was wrong. And those new category of feats (ordained weapons, thief weapon, etc) seem like a good way...

Not exactly named after the videogame, only its characters... Trevor Belmont (paladin) Alucard (sorcerer/fighter) Sypha Belnades (wizard) Grant D'Nasty (rogue) That would be a good undead hunting party, all the roles covered if you hybrid Sypha into cleric (maybe Bard or Artificer would be...

Dear WotC, Please look into the Fireball issues so that our threads may not be derailed again. Sincerely, Concerned gamer.

I just love when someone starts a phrase with "hypothetically". I think there are so many unconsidered possibilities in the world. :D Wait, what?!? :confused: But that's the bestest spell we've seen in ages! :.-(

Man, I hate NOT giving XP to you again! They seem to be a good collection of tiles. Thanks for the pictures! :)

Skill Mastery is a 2nd level thief class feature (from the table in the essentials preview)

Hmmm... After the hype fades and the dust settles, I wonder how the community will react to the unpainted minis. IMO, for a boardgame with a set number of pieces, yes, I'd like to have them all painted. But as a rpg player, just gimme 15 orcs and I'm good! :P I value utility as well, so I...
