A skill challenge is actually a lot of fun, despite having not much tactical options. If you don't tell your players all the skills they can use, and just say "You are being chased by wolves, what do you do?" then they'll have lots of opportunities to think of their own ideas and roleplay a...

I'll get the ball rolling. R1 I need a level 2 solo monster, probably lurker or controller. It needs to be shadow and swamp themed, and have some ability that can attack the willpower of the PCs by making them relive their worst nightmares or memories. It should be able to teleport...

I love making homebrew mechanics for 4e, but I find that my best ideas come from suggestions from my players. Seeing a similar thread on GitP forum, I decided to create the Request a Hombrew thread for 4e here. This thread is for anyone to request a homebrew and for anyone to create it. Almost...

Now the true dwarf clerics will emerge. Though Durkon would not be happy about the "tree and root" parts.

Ongoing damage is usually reserved for daily powers at 1st level, but no other racial encounter power has it to compare it to. I suppose you could keep it at 2/5/7 and it wouldn't be too bad. However, the constant penalty to attacks is definitely too much. If it was limited to only when they...

I'd have the power come with an inherent +3/6/9 bonus to attack rolls, like racial powers that don't use weapons or implements. Otherwise, it looks really good! I'm trying my hand at making homebrew themes too. There's a thread hovering around this forum with my ideas in it, and you can...

I liked the differentiation between ranged cover and melee cover. I would probably still use the original rules if they decided to change it, because it lets you make tactical use of corners in melee.

This is a cool idea, but a little overpowered. The harrowing swarm and defending swarm powers are too constant, and sting barrage might be a bit too much damage for a minor action racial encounter power. My suggestion for racial traits would be: Chitinous Skin: You have resistance to acid...

Definitely give advice on combat and game mechanics. If a player is new to the game and doesn't understand the rules, how else are they going to learn? Another player would have to explain it to them eventually, so you might as well now. However, if you're talking about giving plot advice, I...

I wish I could sign up for a spot in this, as I'd like to start meeting more gamers besides my close friends, but I have a previous engagement this weekend. However, I thought I'd get my name out there as a fellow Boston gamer! Have fun, all!

I like a mixture. Most of the typical "suit of armor" I like being dealt with as a whole, but a few segments (like helment, boots, and gloves) I like being separate, because I like having a lot of magic items, and those are the interesting areas for magic armor. Who'd wear a magic left leg armor?

In Arcane Power, there is the Tome of Readiness, which lets you choose an additional encounter attack power to use instead of your normal one, so you are more versatile.

Sounds like you want Item Sets. Check out the Adventurer's Vault 2. There are some item sets that when members of your group have a certain number of the items, they get a benefit. Usually, there are 5 magic items in a set, and there is a benefit when the group has 2 or more and another when...

Thanks! No, not from there myself, but I played Chip in the musical On the Town, and he mentioned a couple times that he was from Peoria in the midwest. In the play (written many decades ago, mind you), it was supposed to be one of those towns that nobody's ever heard of. I was pleasantly...

Warlord is good, because it shares the warden's primary and secondary (in Martial Power 2) ability scores, so if you want to swap powers you won't be at a disadvantage. As a wild warden, you'll be attacked a lot (because of your Guardian Might feature), so you should focus on feats and powers...

I had a player use a Star Wars lego for a dragonborn paladin. It looked like this:

I think a good way to do this would be to split up the whole scenario into smaller segments. PHASE 1: PREPARATIONS 4 successes before 3 failures PRIMARY SKILLS Arcana (Moderate DC) You tell your knowledge of demons to as many people as you can so that everyone is prepared for the...

Half-orc bard with a lute! LALALALARALA, LARALA, LAAAAAAAAAA!!!

NEW CLASS FEATURESELDRITCH PACT When you choose your Eldritch Pact, you can choose the dragon pact instead of another option. Dragon Pact: You gain the following benefits. Draconic Explosion: You gain the draconic explosion power. Eye of the Dragon:When an enemy under your Warlock’s Curse...

Yes, that is exactly what I mean, only problem is that it doesn't exist. The beach mages have yet to finish it. I would like to know if there is an existing program that will achieve at least this portion of what I want. It doesn't even have to be meant for D&D or RPGs at all; a program meant...
