The last three times a halfling player in my group used second chance before we switched campaigns, the reroll was a critical hit. By the third time, he wasn't sure if he really wanted to use that power anymore, but he did . . . ~

Well, twin strike and howling strike are both attack powers. If the feat adds damage dice to an 'attack power', then it wouldn't necessarily give twin strike an additional die for each attack within the attack power; just an extra die for the attack power as a whole. Thus, you could pump up one...

Either that or it was decided that spider climb is a really bad utility power (which I would agree with), so they made an updated [better] version in a later supplement to 'replace' it (which I would agree with). Then again, they could have just failed to cross-check, which I'm also perfectly...

One creature can't simultaneously be two different targets. ~

Who has access to this power? How do you learn a target's truename? How does the existence of this power benefit your ability to tell a campaign story? (That is, if you can almost always take control of someone by speaking their truename, why make a mechanic for it instead of just roleplaying...

Yeah, make sure to point out to the other players all of the potential dwarf options that have been made available to them. Also, if a player does choose the feat, but isn't gaining much from it, try to give them a reward that wouldn't have been helpful if they weren't a 'dwarf'. Of course, if...

Those are both really good mechanics for combating magic power, in my opinion (spell absorption and resist magic). Nice work, and I'll keep them in my mental reserves ;) ~

I don't have the PH2, but the Insider 1-3 preview of the druid showed two builds: the shapechanging one and the storm/nature spellcasting one. ~

Wow thanks for letting me know! That was another big screw up on my part. It's fixed now, so hopefully more people will be able to find their way here! ~

Only eleven people are interested in a free product like this? Is it kosher to post this in 4E House Rules since it's free? I was honestly expecting a lot more people to want to see Katara than Reptile, but right now he has over 30 more downloads than she does. ~

Thanks a lot for this answer! I can appreciate why they designed this way, and I'm sure plenty of people agree with Inyssius's opinion as stated in his post above. But hopefully more people than just me will enjoy feats that let them more fully embody the shapes they take (you can always...

About the druid's animal-themed feats . . . do any of them encourage you to take on specific animal shapes, in order to distinguish a wolf wild shape from a panther wild shape? I know there are utility powers like skittering sneak, but I'm just talking about wild shape enhancements. The reason...

I'd also love to hear playtest sessions, or 'preview' sessions. It doesn't seem all that crazy to just record one, then not release it for several months, when it's a more reasonable preview release. I also listen in my car, but I'd still like some pictures for reference. ~

I really like the core 4E backstory for these creatures. The race sounds really awesome and very interesting . . . too bad they look super silly: way too silly for me to consider using them without giving them a total makeover. ~

One of the characters I use for playtesting is a wild mage entobian sorcerer. The entobian is one of Alluria Publishing's Remarkable Races, and it's a pretty cool little insect creature. It, like the halfling and drow, get +2 Charisma and +2 Dexterity, making it a good fit. And chaos bolt is...

My favorite critical miss solution I've seen is the 'unbalanced' rule from a recent thread here. When you roll a 1, you become unbalanced, giving you a -1 to defenses and the inability to flank. You can spend a minor action to stop being unbalanced (my house rule above and beyond the initial...

Have you played like this? I suppose if you have, it must have worked out well or you wouldn't have posted it here . . . but I feel like there must be something wrong with this, I just can't think of what it might be. ~

I like these, but they're definitely too powerful for just heroic tier feats. They would be good as 1/encounter implement mastery class feature alternatives, or possibly 1/encounter feats. ~

The main thing I don't like about this power is that it relies on the not-always-common rules knowledge about monster healing surges. Also, considering that most monsters don't really use theirs anyway, that effect of the power isn't terribly exciting. That could be weird if the paragon tier...

Definitely not. This is just a fan product, not using the GSL or anything, just like anything someone could post on a forum or in their blog. I just fancied it up and stuff into pdf format. ~
