Yeah, now that I've gone back over it, it doesn't seem that bad. I suppose the amount of text made it harder to take in the mechanical bits (of which you can pretty much wing it). Though, admittedly, yours seems more like divination than altering fortune. Similar, yet different :) Both useful...

One thing almost never happens in one of my groups, but happened left and right in a group I ran a one-shot with: hauling ass. Sometimes, it's just more expedient to get out of the bad situation; after all, if the only thing at stake in this battle is dying, and running away seems very...

BTW, as a more constructive help for this thread's purposes, mailing labels are an easy and incredibly effective way of "errata-ing" your DM screen. :) I have a bunch of 4"x6" ones, so I was able to print off the "fixed" table onto it and paste it on without a hitch.

On one hand, I love Eberron, and part of me tries to make everything I run fit into the setting somehow. On the other hand, the WotBS setting fits the story so perfectly, it's one of the few exceptions where I think I'd be better off not converting it :) If nothing else, though, I'd love to...

It's not perfect, but I hacked this together using screenshotting and expanded the images to page size. :) It's pretty obviously hacked together, but should work well enough until someone else gets around to it (if someone ever does)

Looking back at this, I think part of my problem is that the effects just aren't exciting to me. Sure, I know that, mathematically, a +/- 2 to a roll is actually quite a strong difference. But, a slight bump in numbers just doesn't make me go "ZOMG!" when I see it, particularly as a temporary...

Sure, I could build my own DM screen. To justify the time spent, however, would mean I'd have to build it incredibly fast. It's only $10, and I certainly couldn't combine all of the tables, print them out, construct the screen, etc. in a way I'd like in under an hour. Even if I only paid $5 for...

Push/pull/slide also breaks grabs.

The main thing is that all of the effects only last, effectively, one in-game day. Thus, I'm not as concerned with high risk. However, the inherent problem is that if they can pull from it repeatedly, then unbalancing the party in different ways too much every day can lose the novelty... if they...

Merry Christmas, all! (I just opened up my 4e Dungeon Master's Guide 2 from under the tree. Woo!)

They're not super important in play, but if you have several copies of the sheet to sort through or if you're going through your old stuff, it makes identifying everything much easier.

This. But, to be fair, it depends on what you're looking for. If you're more into lots of combat with various interesting situations within it, I'd say the official WotC modules are a decent choice. If you want something balanced, anything will really work with some modification. WotC modules...

Solid character build, overall. Feat-wise, I'd hold off on the longsword proficiency until the last minute for your PP, but flavor-wise you probably wouldn't want to wait that long. Skills: Assuming your DM is going with the errata'd skill DC by level table, I'd swap out one of the...

I like it! :) The official character sheet is really a utility for making character generation and record keeping easier, IMO. It's optimized for making sure you remember all the various bonuses and minutiae of your character. For in-game use, something like your sheet is probably more ideal.

Glad to see someone throw something like this together, it's something I've wanted to do for a while but have been putting off longer and longer ;) For what you were aiming for, it seems to work well enough, but there are too many variables for me to really judge it without using it in play. It...

Honestly, just start off with an 18 int, make sure you take Thunderwave if your WIS isn't completely pitiful, and *absolutely* take Flaming Sphere, and you'll be golden ;) (Especially if you have a special mini for flaming sphere, hehe) If you want the full PHB-style orb wizard build, I'll...

Rather than make it a standard action, why not make it an opportunity action? Wouldn't that solve the problem, without having to gimp its effectiveness?

Off the top of my head, STR already covers... Bash open a door Break out of bondings Overpower NPCs (arm wrestling match? hehe) Push things (or bull rush NPCs) Grappling Carry heavy things for the party Jump far (athletics) Climb (athletics) Flex and rip your clothes in the manliest way...

Thanks diaglo, that cleared it up a lot. I'll have to try that some time, sounds intriguing if nothing else. This made me burst out laughing, good call.
