When I thought of this, I was going for a "Neverending Story" feel :).

The race is obviously riding a special snail breed that are faster than usual snails. Racial power: Wall Climb (daily) Benefit: The [race] gains a climb speed equal to its movement speed for the rest of the encounter (or 5 minutes while out of combat). This power can only be used while mounted...

Just a few comments: I don't like that the ooze has 50% chance to be affected by a trap - that just involves another roll (first the attack roll and then the percent roll). Instead I would give it a flat modifier to defenses, just like a regular kobold. The elite ooze removes 2 fortitude on a...

This is nice, though if used in an encounter, remember that it attacks the nearest *creature* that are not immune to fear. So you either need to use some fear immune monsters or consider the placement more carefully. Of course, this could also be more of a "hazard" in the sense that players can...

A minor thing - you've put the face tatoo as equipment. I am not sure I would agree as it isn't anything the players can loot? Also, I second the feedback on "Bring Forth the Other". I would make it an immediate reaction: when bloodied, so a GM can't choose to save the power for when the...

Okay, makes sense. Thanks for clarifying.

Wow, it looks very nice, thanks for sharing! I have a question though. I looked at the first couple of monsters and noticed that the Bloated Zombie has: Zombie Weakness Any critical hit reduces the Zombie to 0 HPs, destroying it But the next couple of zombies does not. I would suggest removing...

They can also be very handy to track skill challenges with, either on the table or (even better) a whiteboard. You can either track how many successes/failures are left to finish the challenge or how many of each the party has accumulated.

I don't necessarily think that because it is cliche that it shouldn't be used. Especially if it haven't been done in your group before. While I agree with you Silverwave, in that nothing is original anymore, then I actually found several of your "ideas" to be interesting, simply because it is...

Send the PCs to the sewers to clean them out. Of course, it is not monsters that the sewers needs to be cleaned of..

Hey Eric, I'm interested in that mechanic, could you go into some more detail with it? Thanks.

My DMG-fu isn't that great - could you (or someone) give a pointer to where it says that?

I don't think so, and that might also be the reason they aren't as popular as the other three roles. And other roles do get some powers that control (like the rogue power that blinds), but you can also say that defenders can heal then (fighter can attack and spend a healing surge, has a stance...

Is the duels to first blood, to the death or something else? Since you are already working with a skill challenge, why not let the opponent hit the player when he gets a failure? That would seem the most natural, as when the skill challenge is lost, so would the duel be, right? Perhaps charge...

I see your 5 attack options and raise you 6 attack options (1 daily, 1 encounter, 2 at-wills, the bull rush and the melee/ranged basic attacks - I figured racial wouldn't count). :P Anyhow, I did like your suggestion about having the opponent take an opportunity attack when this is attempted...

I agree, traps should be used in relation to encounters in some way. However, my suggestion didn't imply either way, and also covered hidden doors, which can be used by itself. Lauberfen - I have the same problem as you mention. I have considered to rule that your use your roll or passive...

I think I read some time ago on these boards someone complaining about traps (and hidden doors) being automatically spotted. I think the easiest way is simply to have the trap/secret door roll a stealth check (reduce the DC by 10 and add the roll a d20). The roll might account for the skill of...

Well, my vote would go towards good old-fashioned "European Fantasy", and I think you would reach more people by doing that... However, it is also been done (some would say overdone) plenty of times before, so with the others there may be fewer people to reach. Actually, you might reach the...

Looks interesting, I will have a read later. If you do decide to make your own system, I am sure people here would be happy to help. I'd like to give a hand at least.

I find the World of Darkness rules fairly simple (at least the basics - there are always complex corner cases), but again you have the problem with the usage. Perhaps the easiest is to make up your own system? Then you can make it as simple or complex as you like. An idea would be for it to use...
