About marking - I definitely don't want it with Scourge because I dislike the idea that defender must have a marking ability. Surely there are other ways to fulfil that role and Life Trap is an attempt at one. It's not yet put in the text, but Scourge will be a Defender with controller twist...

My first stab at a class. I will be making updates to this class slowly and it is obviously unfinished. If you want to add anything, please feel free to do so. Here's the scourge: http://docs.google.com/Doc?id=dcx3dp8f_089jqfgt

I think it would be balanced if it imposed a -2 penalty to the attack.

Swashbuckler "How do you like that, scum?!" CLASS TRAITS Role: Striker. Your task is to get close to enemies and put a lot holes in them. You also have abilities that encourage your allies in various ways, making you good as a support leader. Power Source: Martial/Arcane. You have become a...

Maybe you're right, I haven't read skill challenges chapter yet.

This seems very complex. Why not take the idea a step further and replace successes with "hit" points? With each skill you have, in addition to having "to hit" bonus, you also have progress bonus. It starts with 1d4 + relevant ability score and can be raised with feats, etc. During a challenge...

First of all, you don't need a reason that is logical in the game world, only one that makes sense from the game's perspective. Having said that, drow are a paragon threat, and realistically they are no better than eladrin. So why the chasm? It all boils down to when the players are supposed to...

I haven't read every post, but I think the best idea would be to combine existing encounter/daily/at-will power paradigm with skill challenge system. Independently of combat abilities, each character could get some at-will/encounter/daily abilities that are usable only with skill challenges. At...

I think tyranids are more appropriate for paragon tier. I'd make Termagant a level 11 minion and hormagaunt a level 14 minion. termagant hormagaunt

What about rings?

some new feats added

I think he asks when the effects are applied. It was my understanding that as soon as the save is made.

I would have to run through numbers to agree or disagree, but I doubt there are more than 20% fights that don't go into at-will territory. Anyway, I upped the power of two heroic feats, added third, and also added extra rule that makes tactical feats better at some circumstances (see rule 3).

Thanks for input, I moved RitO. I could change rule to "before attack" but I fear it might be too much of a nerf. Maybe if the attack fails, you don't spend the use? You would still waste a round so there is a penalty, but the feat itself is reliable.

Tactical feats are meant to be used with at-will attacks. This is to lenghten the interesting part of combat - when dailies and encounter powers are gone, and the character is left to at will powers, those feats allow choices for a little longer, hence the name. Tactical subgroup means has two...

Let me help you: they don't stack due to the no feat stacking rule. ;)

Exactly, how dare they promise to alleviate restrictions only to put another ones in the place. Why would I want such a trade off. They specifically said that they are changing the -4 penalty for non-proficiency weapons to bonuses because they wanted to REWARD choices instead of punishing other...

I know what my first generic house rule will be (other than houseruling bunch of racial abiltiies) - you can take a feat w/o meeting ability requirements, but feat's effects are halved or otherwise reduced in some way.

Then the PHB is guilty of having too many options for uncommon characters and not enough for popular builds.

"Options, not restrictions." - anyone remebers that? My @ss. If they really needed to "encourage" people to invest in dump stats, they should've done it in a less blunt manner. Astral Fire could read: Requires Con 13, but if you also have Dex 13, this and this happens. Overall, i'm pisseed
