I voted "no," because the online updates do just fine for me. I know the rules well enough, and use the digital tools heavily enough, that I don't reference the errataed paper material very often anyway. For the situations where I do need to look something up at the table, it would be nice, same...

Hah, indeed! Fixed.

I've done up Jhaelen's tables in spreadsheet format here: https://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=0ApJodNrQ2KpGdHdvWVFnVWJQU0lQUDdCT3pSVENVcGc&hl=en&authkey=COvH8tIH The average damage for the expressions can be found in hidden columns. Let me know if there are any data entry errors...

Thanks much for the table, Jhaelan! I'm going to run that off and stick it into my DMG, I think. If you do create a table with damage expressions above 30, I'd like to see it. It seems like something of an oversight that the DMG table doesn't go that high. EDIT: Nitpick - you didn't include...

Work in progress, including Jhaelen's level 26 fix: (never mind) Unfortunately the most difficult expressions to work with are right at the start of the paragon tier, which is where my current campaign is... ^.^; Removing the hyperlink since Jhaelen's table later in the thread has it complete...

Has anyone worked out elegant damage expressions for the +25% and +50% suggestions? I'd guess for d8s you upgrade to d10s and d12s, respectively, as well as apply the modifier to the static bonus, but I'm not as sure what to do with the d6 expressions. EDIT: Well, 4d(any) is easy, as is +50% on...

Neat, I was considering doing something like this not long ago. How do your new damage numbers translate to dice+adds?

I recently built out a character using some third party content, and the whole exercise illustrated just how dependent I've become on the Character Builder. Putting somebody together by hand or with a form-fillable character sheet takes twice as long or more, with lots of opportunity for...

Mm, that's cool, thanks for the input! I wonder if MM3 will include further updates on how to build monsters, the way MM2 did--I won't need to construct a new table, if that's solid.

I'd like to make a new damage expressions table that meets the following goals: 1) Gives monsters a bit of a damage boost overall to make them more threatening. 4e characters have a lot of damage mitigation potential, which monsters as written can't really overcome; I'd like straight damage to...

Oh, okay. I read that as "the old Aid Another rules" rather than the old Obsidian rules, i.e., the core Aid Another rules prior to the May rules update.

Wait, what? Is Aid Another even allowed in Obsidian other than in the context of an in-combat Skill Challenge? I saw no mention of it, I thought that was just part of the "players should always be included"--if you're aiding, you're rolling a skill toward the needed successes.

Oh my. Those Whimsy cards are fantastic--a great way to bulk up the list of things like "But Soft..." I need to get a new stack of blank purple cards, I think ^.^

Thanks P1NBACK! Along those very lines, I recently introduced a number of new cards into the deck, based on the suggestions from this thread--notably, Eric Finley's. The following cards all have basically this text: Play this card when called upon to make a(n) _____ skill check. You fail the...

Thanks much! What are the cards you've added? Would any of them be adaptable back to a D&D setting?

Some minions (tomb mote, snaketongue initiate...) deal ongoing damage in twos and threes. So even now a blank would be useful.

Negflar, can you give a brief run-down of how you use the program for your game? What features do you use? I gave it a brief try, but found it fought me at every turn on what I actually wanted to do with it. Since people speak so highly of it, I feel like I must be missing something.

Here are the achievements I've come up with so far. I just need a lot more! Maybe some luck-based achievements or ones that you need to build up to over time? Better Part of ValorScore this achievement when your party opts to leave the field of battle instead of fighting on to eliminate every...

(Something of a fork from http://www.enworld.org/forum/4e-fan-creations-house-rules/271730-purple-index-cards-fly-setting-plot-collaboration.html ) 4e is sometimes accused of having World of Warcraft or video game logic. Let's suppose we were to run with this all the way, and implement a set of...

That sounds more like Weem's thing: http://www.enworld.org/forum/4e-fan-creations-house-rules/272274-fate-point-cards-download-included.html A bit more open-ended than Virtue/Hubris, perhaps, but that's a strength of Aspects rather than a weakness, I feel.
