The fluff section of this class worried me, as I'm designing a class that could be described similarly . . . but your implementation is pretty different, so I guess it's okay :) Bear Cub Defense: Is this supposed to be able to be sustained indefinitely, or just until you've taken an attack? Can...

Added to my wishlist for my next RPGNow purchase. (I like to buy several items at once, as per their suggestion/request on the checkout page :)) ~

You forgot to link through the enworld affiliate site for RPGNow. Here's the fixed link ;) ~

Hm. Well this isn't at all what you mentioned, but I make minions' crits 150% of their damage. That is, if they normally dealt 4 damage, their crit damage is 6. This was mainly because one player had armor that punished monsters that scored a critical hit against him . . . he got to destroy the...

Once I made an encounter full of 'fire zombies' and a fire elemental in the back, calling the shots. The zombies had an ability that if they were destroyed by fire damage, they would explode in fire. The elemental's tactics were that if the zombies got into a good position, it would ignite one...

If you're sure you want to use the 'upgrade to 20' rule, I would require the players to have a 16 in that ability, and not allow any other scores to be higher than 16. They can increase the '20' score above 16 if they want more damage and better skill checks, but they can't dump that stat since...

Very good info. I'd never heard the term 'character concept tax', but I think it fits well :) This should be requisite reading for anyone wanting to post house rules in a forum. ~

In this case, I'd recommend you instead allow the charismatic rogue to just use Charisma for his attack score, replacing other instances of Charisma with Dexterity or something else (essientailly swapping the two). It's weird to think of the rogue attacking with his dagger using Charisma, but I...

We were just calling it, "Ooh, you rolled max damage." ;) ~

You didn't mention a minimum requirement for the stat you make a 20. You assume it would be a 16. What if I built a fighter, gave him an 8 Strength (so I could spend the rest of my point-buy points on enhancing other abilities), then said I wanted his Strength to be counted as a 20. I'd get -1...

As long as they're producing quality books that are useful and interesting to me, I don't care how many they make or what the topic is. (If I stop caring what the topic is, that probably means they stopped being useful or interesting to me.) ~

Mega Man Prerequisite: Warforged Benefit: As you gain this feat, choose a hand. As a standard action using that arm, you can use the wizard's magic missile spell. ~

I love the class acts as well. I prefer them to be 2-3 pages, but either way, I really wish they would come back. It hardly takes up an magazine space, and it has some quick and interesting options for characters of a particular class. ~

That second one would make a pretty brutal magic missile . . . hehe. Anyway, I really like these feats. Make a spell brutal 1 doesn't really work, but as long as it's a house rule, everyone would know what it means. Maybe I'll run these past my spellcasting players and see if there's any...

The toughest ever is the tardigrade. I haven't seen a 4E conversion yet, but I imagine that's because no one wants to kill so many PCs. ~ fissionessence

Here's a very simple character sheet I made that I use for my own characters. I don't know if this is something anyone else would like, as its not fancy or anything, but I can find anything I need in just a few moments. As the characters level up, I print a new sheet. (The attached sheet is a...

I like it. It's pretty weird, but I like it. My favorite art is on page 6. Two things: 1) I'm really not grokking the Manifest Form epic tier feat. It's basically a restricted wild shape 1/day, but with a restriction on what you can turn into . . . so what's the point of the table? It seems...

This is really weird, because I was just thinking about caltrops earlier. I was watching Tomorrow Never Dies tonight with my girlfriend, who has been playing D&D with me recently, and I James Bond's BMW dumped some caltrops out for the car behind him to run over. I said, "Hey, you can use...

In the first reply in this thread, I stated that I didn't really know what this was for . . . and I still don't. Could you provide some example of this 'NPC base' being used, so that I can actually respond to your initial request for feedback? ~

I agree. This is also the same exact change I proposed to the power in question, righteous brand up in post 6. ~
