Hmm, it's kinda funny, call it charm, call it idiosyncrasy or call it whatever you want. But 3ed edition DnD had it more then 4th edition. And not because of its many splatbooks, but straight out of the box PHB. I got some ideas from reading parts of the book (although I could never bring myself...

Nope, I agree with you. Fortunately one can always make ones own charm.

Oooohhh, thanks everyone for your suggestions. They're quite handy. I shall probably be using each and every one of them to a certain extent. Now if you'll forgive me I have to get out of here and spend untold hours working on a setting...

Simple, look at the pictures of the weapons. Not many people would be able to wield both of them.

Anybody know offhand which adventures show Gnomes off the most? I need to know more about them and can't wait for the PHB2!

Personally, I think someone will be quite interested in this wizard channelling so much arcane energy. Some spirit or other thing interested in magic. It's a possibility. Personally we've had the same problem in our game where the guy used 3 times his daily allotment and no fuss was made...

So, I'm busy creating my setting. Creating ecologies, economies, political systems, deities, theology, clothes, culture etc etc etc. However there's one question I can't quite answer. Most of the larger cultures have a large capital city (let's say 10.000 people on average) but I'm not sure how...

Does maptools support the 4th edition ruleset? I thought they were still working on it? I know it has excellent support for third edition.

Ars Magica Mage the Ascension Certain Superhero games (I remember an old TSR one that had a lot)

I agree completely. I wonder if it would be possible to squash them all together when they're all out.

I've been thinking of making a Rogue build inspired by the harlequins from Warhammer 40.000. They're known for possessing an unusual amount of agility, even for an Eldar (the Warhammer 40.000 version of Elves). It would be an Eladrin with the Rogue class that would use the Artful Dodger class...

I think the important question to ask is: "How powerful is the Wizard in 4th edition compared to the other classes?" This question is important because power and other things would be relative to the system they're in. I must say, I do miss some aspects of the Wizard. Something about the new...

This might be a good rule in a sandbox environment where the the players have the opportunity to fight against levels far ahead or far below their level.

Wait, if they're half the xp then you would have two quasi minions for the same xp price as one standard monster. While they would have the same HP they do have twice the amount of attacks compared to a standard monster (since they both attack) How do you deal with this? Do they also have a...

I don't think we should pay any attention to flavour text when it comes to finding out how something works. After all aren't we supposed to make our own flavour text?

A bad rule system can be made up with a nice character concept. And come to think about it, the camaraderie would be the same, perhaps even enhanced because we're complaining about the new system ^_^

I would allow Evil, but not disruptive characters. "I believe in human sacrifices" and "I believe in raping Goblins" are okay, although less forced and more believable subtle (often Lawful Evil) goals are better. "I wish to live forever" or "It is my destiny to rule" are nice ones, even though...

I'd definitely lower the price of the ritual (although perhaps require something rare) and let them waive as much people as they can afford. Wouldn't be a bad idea to make the ritual evil somehow. Maybe the rare item can be something that requires an evil act to make or obtain it. Or at least...

Better too much then too little. Also look at it this way, you can always play a game where you all start as level 30 divine demigods.

I've always thought that Elves would have music with high voices, perhaps with a bit of eeriness. I suppose the LotR movies have given us enough examples. Although I suppose this might do in a pinch. After hearing this I've come to the conclusion that Dragonborn would like drums. Even if she...
