    Starting with a magic item as a class feature?

    Do you think this would be balanced? How 'big' of a feature would the class need to give up to get a magic item? What level of magic item could the class get 'for free'? For example, what if the swordmage's abilities only worked with magic blades, and thus a level 1 swordmage would need a...

    Ropes and Leather

    What if only a few of the dragon's bones are needed to animate a skin? He could have many bodies walking around, in control of them all. Only a few of his bones would be 'unused', such as his skull, sitting back in some hidden room of the tannery, orchestrating everything and giving the kobolds...

    Cosmic Seafarer — 4E Solo game using Instant Game and Mythic GM Emulator

    Okay, so it's been about a week or so since I played last. I left off having just been transported by Chersin to a dungeon that has yet to be described in any way. Chersin sent Rinian here for a reason, but we don't know why. I could roll to start finding out why, but Rinian doesn't know, so I...

    Cosmic Seafarer — 4E Solo game using Instant Game and Mythic GM Emulator

    Thanks, I'm glad you find it interesting :) I doubt many people will make it through all of that text, but I hope I can go back and read through it for my entertainment some number of years from now hehe. ~

    FREE Publisher Art from VShane

    Well, I just know I can't buy any of those art sets without knowing what's inside. I might not be able to buy them anyway, but I'm sure I'm not the only one who's passed over your sets in the time since their previews stopped working. ~

    Looking for alternate ways to generate random ability scores

    Thanks, I didn't see that, even when I looked for it after I was looking. I've always wanted to, but a support account for any reasonable amount of time is way more expensive than most of the RPG stuff I would buy in that amount of time combined. I try to support instead by making all my...

    Looking for alternate ways to generate random ability scores

    BUMP Really, no one remembers anything about these? Or has them saved on their computer? Or has the link? Or has any other random ability score generation methods? :) ~

    D&D 4E Mecha in 4E

    Sounds pretty simple to me. Did you want to penalize PCs at all for operating this mecha? For example, do they have to make skill checks or anything to operate it? Any other kind of penalties when operating? If not, you basically just need a monster stat block for each mecha, and then just give...

    Level Up! ? Kncockspell? KQ? Fight On! ?

    I voted for Kobold Quartly and Level Up, even though I haven't been able to get my hands on a copy of the latter yet; I fully intend to. ~

    "Save Continues" duration

    My interpretation would be that nothing happens when you fail a saving throw. Here's my explanation. In terms of (save ends) effects: The effect is not slated to ever end, unless you make a saving throw against it. Thus, if you make your saving throw, the successful save causes the effect to...

    "Save Continues" duration

    The free rune soldier heroic tier playtest (link in my sig) includes the rune of vigor, which utilizes a "(save maintains)" mechanic. This is the same idea as what you presented in the OP, but with the word 'maintains' instead of 'continues'. In fact, I think it's such a simple and...

    Looking for alternate ways to generate random ability scores

    Specifically, there were two posts I saw on these forums at various times over the past several months . . . unfortunately, I failed to save them. If you have a link to the thread of either of these generation methods, please link it! Or, if you have any random ability score generation methods...

    Cataloguing Powers?

    You can make your own power cards. Personally, I use a sheet of paper with all my cards printed on it. I just remember when I've used them or not, but you could place a token on top of expended powers or whatever if you preferred. ~

    Fun with action points!

    While I don't know of any reason that you can't use your remaining actions after an action point, you're not allowed to do anything after you charge :( You can't, for example, charge, then move. You can charge then spend an action point though. Would that mean that you could charge, spend an...

    Magic-Mart (AKA Solving the treasure dilemma)

    Yes, thanks for the explanation. I was already planning to ask my players how they'd prefer for magic items to work. That is, do they want to just stick with the traditional 'you get what you find and hope it's good', perhaps even with me using a random treasure generator; or would they rather...

    Magic-Mart (AKA Solving the treasure dilemma)

    Not to threadjack, but does that mean it would be okay to post a thread in the general forum asking for feedback and criticism of my free rune soldier heroic tier playtest? (link in my sig) More on topic . . . I am also intrigued by this proposed solution, as I've been contemplating magic items...

    MM2 art gallery- AWESOME!

    That's pretty crazy, as the witherling was probably my favorite art as well. It's like creepy and mysterious. It makes me wonder if we/I will love it so much after we see its stats. Like, what if it was just a really neat picture of a kobold. I might say, "Oh, that's just another kobold. Kind of...
