Father Mason would have been a good PC. He is the high patriarch of the god of earth (+ strength & infrastructure) He was written up as a companion character and turned over to the players for a single session (where the players all used higher level NPCs). After which they wanted to keep him...

stealing ideas from the worst super heroes ever thread (rpg.net) and trying to play them. A telekinetic cactus that rides around in a self-propelled little-red-wagon. and vibrates the air to make speech. (the GM would not let me play it, but stole concept for an NPC) The ability to summon a...

Crashing (lvl 4+) the enchantments on my parties weapons are: Crashing, Dwarven Thrower, Acidic (1/encounter make a MBA @ range 5) and a defensive staff for the wiz.

Well the players have gone an done it now. after a few basically harmless uses of cards Rozencratz and Guilderstien killed a lovesick groupie I am the Rumor mill had volunteer figherfighters chasing an enemy wizard with fire shield trying to escape in a city adventure. Oooh Shiney! got...

The short answer is that they 4e wizards are alot less versatile. look to the heroes of the fallen lands book - The enchanter does some of what you want The illusionist does the other half. mirror image provides provides less total defense. invisibility is a level 6 daily Spectral image...

The hidden assumption of my world is that the Primordials won the dawn war, broke the world, reformed it then settled in and began to act like gods. Eldri Coast | gods | Obsidian Portal The world is too fragile for the new gods to fight over, so they agreed that each would rule the world for...

78) Veterans blade - the user can fall a moment after lying down. This weapon also has a set of non-magical dice hidden in the pommel.

67) Guidance Councilor: the sword wants you to settle down and hang it over a mantle somewhere. It gives +5 to profession skills. 68) Hummer: the sword hums when used in combat, not lightsaber noises, more like "row, row, row your boat"

Sure I do. Some of them are originally designed for 1-shots or convention games. Others are more loosely designed based on the needs of the campaign. The Raiders of Redcliff - low level group of outcasts, several from a nearby big city magic university, mostly unaligned. Big Dam Heroes -...

The Tesseract This was a fun one - 60'x60'x60' rooms, gravity direction changed with every room. Doors could be in 25' away from any adjoining surface, found at ground level or open out into a 60' fall. Some had floating platforms controlled by thought, lots of stairs, or in one case filled...

I have run into 2 deal breakers - Rape My character was raped by prison guards at a convention game. For trying to break into a fancy ball. It was an evil group and the DM was expecting things to get dark. At the table I fumed a while then decided that. "well they all have to die then." I...

Rise of the Sorcerer Kings In an otherwise traditional fantasy world, during a time of great magical experimentation, Defling magic is discovered. It leads several powerful arcanists to declare themselves kings of city-states. They begin creating templars, turning the world into desert etc...

rodent flees are a tried and true location.

I tried to set up a good chance for failure, and in the test fight I ran only 2 of 5 nPCs survived. But a table full of wily players are just better at tactics than I am running both sides. The back up plan was a prophecy which predicted that if the "Dragon" survived his birth by an hour, it...

I ran a "cut scene" game in just the opposite direction tonight - the PCs just hit 10th. One of their earlier quests was a series of missions to recruit paragon NPCs to save the world. Tonight I gave them them the NPC paragon character sheets and told them go go kill the (low) epic villain...

with two games, the cards are seem to be working well: Rozencratz and Guilderstien are dead was used to kill an artisan who built a bad artificial arm for the party (he died of an infected splinter) Saved by Kitty Litter was used to open a secret passage in a wall, so the PCs did not have...

most memorable PC plans - I had an octagonal spinning room with 4 visible doors. Every other spin it stopped on the diagonals instead of cardinal directions. The PCs were sent in to lure a powerful foe out into an ambush. At least that was the plan they were given but I didn't think it...

Must read past first post...... after cutting and gluing 50ish index cards - I find people have updated and formatted them for me. After reading the cards I decided that there needed to be a penalty for skipping a combat - skill challenges (esp on the fly) are just less fun than combat. It...

I keep thinking that epic really needs to be simplified, Powers should be streamlined and magnified, with each one useable several times. 4 dailies, 4 encounters and 6+ utilities, & 1-2 racial or feat powers is just a lot to monkey around, especially if each character has several interrupts...

Road Trip I left the State for a 4 day road-trip instead of running an expected game, even taking one of the players with me. I got 1 phone call and 1 e-mail asking me about tomorrow's game. "um guys? Im in Arizona." .... Accidentally. when a tiny nagging voice asks I am sure...
