Not only do I expect Dragonmarks to work the same way, I plan on using the same mechanics for my homebrewed 4E Birthright Blood Powers.

Remember Elan has a happy ending to the story, so Either Haley isn't dead, will be raised shortly, or she and Elan were never meant to be.

There's the Comic Asylum at Jupiter and Arapaho. There's also Comic Book Craze.

I've been playing an artificer in LFR and I've been enjoying it (just got to 3rd last session). My only complaint is restorative infusion which I've had other players ask me not to use. They would rather use their healing surges for real healing. I think it would be better if the artificer...

As a fan of Birthright I think this would be great. I plan on running a 4E Birthright campaign some day and I look forward to stealing liberally from this book.

I agree with Stalker0 but I wanted to add that both WF and DWT give feat bonuses and therefore don't stack. That may not be obvious to everyone. If you house ruled that they gave different bonuses, then the dwarf would benefit from both if he decided to take it. So then the Dragonborn has...

I was confused about the usefulness of the Alchemy subsystem as well. I was really considering it for my artificer, but I've since thought better of it. In order to be an alchemist, you have to get the feat, purchase a formula, and then actually create the item which costs the same as you...

You have to realize that developing for multiple platforms adds more complexity and results in much more time to develop. Apparently WotC decided to go with an application using DirectX since it contains already built-in APIs for 3D graphics, networking, input, and sound. Mac and other OSes...

In my experience in software development, no quality software is released on time. You generally have a choice between releasing crap on time or having a schedule slip but still releasing what you promised. What WotC is experiencing is really no different then when Blizzard decides to delay...

I don't see it that way. I think Monk as a divine striker would be more likely.

Of course after reading this thread I will probably go with Rain of Blows at 3rd and maybe Armor-Piercing Thrust at 7. Derek

I'm planning on playing a Spear wielding fighter for LFR. As such I've been researching the fighter powers that are spear/polearm oriented. The weapon specific powers are at levels 3, 13, and 23. Most of the powers for pole arms use strength and dexterity and occasionally wisdom. You can buy...

Br When I read the default setting in the 4E core books, I think Birthright. A fallen human empire (Andurien) creates a PoL world full of Dukes, Barons, and Lords fending off increasing attacks from monstrous humanoids and in need of heroes. There are no Gnomes and the Shadow...

arty I would like to see Artificers have more then one tactic. IMC, the artificer uses Rapid Infusion to put bane X on his weapon. He uses most of his action points putting bane on throughout the adventure based on what we're facing (although he rarely spends more then one action point per...

You can only multiclass once but you can take the skill training feat multiple times (once for each skill). You also might not meet the feat's prerequisites. Otherwise, multiclass away. If you find out you want to multiclass into something else later, retrain the paladin multiclass feat to...

The first strike ability only counts against the guy you're attacking. Or at least that's how I interpret it. It's the 4E equivalent of 3E flat footed but only rogues have it. Derek

Don't forget the new quickdraw you can draw as part of another action IIRC. It kind of evens things out since the 2 hander will only use a minor but the s&b will use 2. The 2 hander still has an advantage, but it's a slight advantage. Two hander: * put weapon in one hand (free) * draw item...

I think most agree, the simplest solution is take the MultiClass rules and use them for Blood powers. You have to balance the MC and the Blood powers so that it's not a no brainer to become a blooded character, but still useful. Normally blooded characters should start out with the feat, but...

I posted on the WotC boards awhile back about how similar the core PoL setting is to Birthright. 4E will be the best edition for Birthright if only they would republish it (crosses fingers). I plan on using Eberron's dragonmarks as an example of blood powers. It will probably require a feat...

There was a thread awhile back about using hexes in the general 4E forum. Using hexes does make bursts more round (technically hex shaped) and turns blasts into cones. The UA SRD from 3.x has hex rules and is available for free. Derek
