For me, either Rogues need a lesser version of Sneak Attack that doesn't require advantage (I'd put it at half SA dice or half - 1d6 SA dice), or the ways that Rogues can get Sneak Attack should be expanded. The best idea I've had while reading this thread was that Rogues can deal Sneak Attack...

The Tome Show podcast has an audio recording of it available on iTunes. I'm downloading it now, so no news to report from it yet.

Disappointment at only having the four classes, but from the discussion in the PA podcasts, the other classes are still in very early development. Very happy to see Opportunity Attacks return in this version, not sure how I feel about it being a Reaction though, makes defending hard. The Combat...

Lots of fantasy web series are better than the D&D movies. Watch JourneyQuest (now in season 2!), Standard Action, or Walking in Circles on youtube. Gamers 2: Dorkness Rising was made as a movie, but is now in webseries format on youtube.

Card Drawing Rules, Drink! deck, and more story game elements in cards My game still uses a separation of Drama and Combat decks, but I've made some minor changes to the way cards are drawn and added new cards. Since I have about half as many regular players in my current campaign as my last...

Angel Summoner and BMX Bandit is a great comedy bit from some Brit sketch show. Watch it here for context. BMX Bandit and Angel Summoner - Mitchell & Webb - YouTube

Oh its very real, but has been stuck in development for a year. It was supposed to show on Syfy in december originally. I have some hopes for this movie, in a so bad its good way, like the first one. But I was disappointed to see the exact same white dragon as in the second movie.

The extra attack penalty on Reaping Strike is likely coming from the character having the Ironstar Student feat. "When you are attacking with a flail or a mace and you have proficiency with that weapon, you also gain the following benefit. When you use a power associated with this feat and hit...

The caves of chaos adventure has plenty of monsters, so it probably doesn't need to be adjusted for a greater number of players, but what should a DM do when he has 2 - 3 players instead of 4 - 5+? In 4e I could just remove one standard monster for each player less than five. In this playtest I...

Another point for the armor discussion is that in the current playtest of D&D next, there are magical armors and shields. Bringing back +1 shields gives another AC boost to players who wield shields (which is likely to be those proficient in them). So fighters and clerics have another source of...

I like the inclusion of Combat, Habitat and Society, and Legends and Lore with the monster entries, but I dislike the formatting of the monster stat blocks. Its very much a return to 3e style monsters, with special abilities separated from the stat block, and a few of the monsters using the...

D'oh! Don't like interlocking tiles.

So far, the Infiltrator powers Concentrated Concealment and Extreme Prejudice. I don't really understand Concentrated Concealment is trying to accomplish that couldn't be accomplished by another means. My confusion with Extreme Prejudice might be that the burst size is one too big. If my target...

You're right about the feat page swap around. Pages 105 and 106 need to be pushed a couple pages back. Luckily that would be an easy fix for the Publisher to change and send out an email through RPGnow that the document has been updated.

On the recommendation of this and the other thread, I picked up the pdf today. I think Ultramodern 4 has a lot of good ideas, like the ladder system, but I think the implementation of them could be improved. Ultramodern 4 may suffer from what was said many times in the early days of 4e: doesn't...

Glad to see that they didn't go with the interlocking Adventure Game style tiles for Dungeon Command. Now they'll be compatible with the rest of my Dungeon Tiles collection.

By definition, 100 is average for an IQ test, it is the mean, the centre of the distribution. So anything clustered around that is average. So don't worry about it.

Edit - Woops!!! Posted to the wrong forum, could a Mod move it over to 4E please? As a slight change of pace for a D&D game, tomorrow we'll be playing D&D&D, as my birthday celebration. It will be a silly scenario where players imbibe alcoholic beverages on certain triggers, and to activate...

Was it this book? Because, you're right, that's the book the Dvati was last published in, its just not for 4e.

You should note that the source you linked above isn't a Wizards of the Coast site, but a fan maintained wiki. Dvati are a race that were last published in the Dragon Magazine compendium for 3rd edition D&D, but is not among the races that Wizards of the Coast have published for 4th edition...
