I don't get why this has the Teleportation keyword. 1) Target is marked. Standard fine print on the mark. 2) If target attacks someone else, -2 to attack rolls. Standard defendery effect. 3) If it does attack and hits, you reduce the damage dealt by the marked target's attack by X damage...

Only if I can be a Fate/Space/Time Acanthus of the Silver Ladders. (This thread is... soooo not what I expected. I thought he was going to talk about using a 3e-style setting / economy / racial groups with 4e characters (ie, ditch the PoL and 4e fluff), not literally be the only 4th edition...

You know, I'm honestly considering ditching the rogue weapon requirements on powers and sneak attack. Between things like this, and the sheer silliness of the Blinding Barrage crossbow attack, and how it limits the ability of other classes to take and really benefit from Sneak of Shadows...

People might want to keep in mind that in just one year and change, we'll have eighteen classes. PHB1 8 + PBH2 8 + FR Swordmage 1 + Eberron / DragonMag Artificer = 18. That's quite a big expansion for a single year. The first year, at that. Let them have all the time they need for anything...

What did you use to make the map? Thanks.

While the apples are fascinating, I think I'll reserve the right to pick and choose milestone moments. To me, "milestone" means you achieved something plot-centric. Even mildly so. I wouldn't want to pace my adventures so that there was a significant plot advancement every two encounters, as...

I was tempted to use 'Invocations' for an elemental class I was making. I like Katas for Ki and Talents for Psionics. For primal? I don't know. That's a pretty broad spectrum of abilities from Barbarian to Druid to Shaman. You've got one guy raging out with big, sharp pointy things and...

Don't know, but I'm thinking that really fat tiefling vampire guy was in front of it, and that's why we've only just noticed it. Eeeeyuck. That guy could provide a flanking bonus to himself.

I'd argue that it's also pointless. And more on the psychotic side than the evil side. Or inhumanly twisted. What's the percentage in stabbing a bartender in the face? That's not evil per se, it's a bad parody of the hockey masked villain or the striped shirted janitor with claws in a...

I plan on replacing the alignment system with a Political Compass model wherein characters are ranked on the 50 point axises of Authoritarian - Libertarian and Economic Left to Right. Our first campaign is going to be focused on a group of characters that are Chaotic Gandhi. (Just kidding.) I...

Don't know if this has been added yet: Per a recent thread, someone had trouble interpreting the level 2 Wizard Utility Jump. It's missing language that makes it clear how it is used in combat. The Move Action appears to be so that the Wizard can use the spell as part of his action to jump...

Clearly, they screwed up. They either left out the "free action" or "as a reaction" language if it does give a free jumping move, or they left out the language explaining it was on the next skill check or the target's move action so that it could be used properly in combat, if it doesn't give a...

Looking at my summary above, you've got to wonder why they were so restrictive on some multiclass options, but not others. They seem more or less balanced otherwise. With wizard you can take a paragon path that lets you use a longsword as an arcane implement. That's good for any class that...

I agree that the warzard would work better than the wizlock. Several of the classes just don't work all that well as multiclass options in the current system as it stands. You're blocked by: * Not getting class abilities which are requirements for paragon paths. * In some cases, weapon and...

I think that the possibilities of somehow using it as an attack are overcomplicating the core issue and causing us to "nerf ourselves", basically. Is it fun to allow someone to use their per encounter power to teleport out of a pit? Is it more fun to say "no" to the player and leave their...

That doesn't seem right to me. I think that it's indicated as a move action simply to imply that a wizard can use it on himself as part of his move action to jump. Probably what happened was that they weren't thinking of it being used within the context of a combat encounter, and so they left...

Suspense? Not really. Because there are only a few ways that it could happen (Roy is raised and remembers, Belkar tries to get cured and is told that the MoJ went off, probably both.) We know what and how... it's only a matter of when. The number of posts of people stating "called it" with...

I'm actually hoping that it doesn't at this point, honestly. And that's coming from someone whose only major 3/3.5 purchases other than the core rulebooks and MotP was the Psionics books. (Although this time around if I'm able I'll probably be getting more, at least Tome of Treasures and all...

I think it could have wound up a lot more interesting with the memory charm lifted once the Oracle was dead. For instance, Haley leaves Belkar. The Linear Guild comes to see the Oracle and find a dead Oracle and a sick Belkar. Recognizing an opportunity to recruit a semi-competent evil...

Ah, scratch that. I got CHA and INT scrambled up for a moment. Regardless, what I was saying still holds true regarding a 4e Ranger in the traditional D&D rogue role going back through all editions vs the 4e Rogue class. If you want a 3e-ish rogue with several social skills, CHA might be a...
