I'm sure I can't be the only one who doesn't like the Oriental Adventures theme of the monk. I haven't yet but I will be making a medieval Europe unarmed fighter. Who here has tried making a monk that would fit more in Grayhawk or other such settings? How did it go? Post your different unarmed...

Or better yet: a dragon which looks undead due to an illusion, but actually isn't!

I'm sure any attempt at reading my mind would result in insanity. I've got Iä Iä stuck in my head. *humming* Iä Iä - O Shub Niggurath! / I know I just can't resist you

I'd place myself in the middle, probably closer to the traditionalist side. I probably would allow a Brawler/Grappler/Other unarmed combatant class, but no monk. Of course, the Halflings have bladed boomerangs and the elves are racist, but I'd still put myself on the traditionalist side.

The combat in my game could be a little more structured, so I want a battle mat. I'm thinking of a kind which one can use with a sharpie and a wet/dry cloth as well as miniatures. Does anyone know a quality battlemat I could obtain for less than or around $20?

I prefer the new class names over the old ones. Wizard is better than Magic User because Magic User sounds too generic. Wizard feels like fantasy. Rogue is better than thief for the opposite reason. While thief is a more focused name, it has connotations and limits creativity.

Thanks for the advice - I had forgotten about Trollia. I hadn't added Pervects because I thought they would be LA+ races. I'll do some revisions and post the updated list later.

I know there are quite a few Thieves World fans here on ENWorld, but has anyone heard of Myth Adventures, by the editor of Thieves World? I enjoyed the series so I thought I'd try my hand at a conversion for my latest campaign. Can anyone help balance these races? I thought some of them looked a...

My investigators have a hard enough time escaping blithering insanely from Deep Ones, I couldn't bring myself to throw a shoggoth at them.

Saving at the epicenter of a fireball? Quite simple... the character jumps and clings to the ceiling.

I'm personally against the idea of mega-adventures. I mean, if they produce one mega-adventure a year, and that one is for Eberron, the FR and Greyhawk players are screwed for a year. IMO, they should produce say, 4 Eberron, 4 FR, and 4 Greyhawk adventures a year, giving module campaigns a...

Half-orcs do indeed suck. However, for a good Half-Orc race, use the ones from the Warcraft RPG. I doubt it's open gaming content, so I'll paraphrase: +2 Con -2 Wis - +40 -40 Low Light Vision - +20 +1 racial on saves vs. Fear - +5 +2 racial on intimidate and sense motive - +20 Total: +45...

Argeleb II, if I'm not mistaken. That's Kricket you're thinking of.

I don't have Legos, although I'd like to, as they make fun-tastic minis. I suspect my lack of them is due to the lack of "100 random minifigs - $5" and the growth of "X playset, including 3 minifigs - $10".

In my humble opinion, I think that Archer should be a core class in 4E, along with a Base Ranged Attack Bonus. I think that you need two generic fighter types, and who can fight well with an axe might not be able to handle a bow.

Ioun rhymes with moon? I thought it was pronounced somewhat like Ion! WoTC should start putting pronunciation guides after words like that. :heh:

A.D.O.M. is my favorite Roguelike... just enough options, great Cthulhuesque Chaos effects...

Hmhmmhm... Isn't "hruka" a word in the lapine language from Watership Down? Or is that "hraka"?

Well, in my current campaign... Dwarf - 2 Human - 1 Half-Elf - 1 I guess we need another player or two.

I miss the unexpected and new. "Wait... these are elves... and they're evil? DUBYA TEE EFF MATE!"
