Don't penalize players for failing a save. Reward them for making it. But to make things more interesting, add a second save requirement as Mesh Hong suggested. This actually seems more like an after-effect. Which brings me to another idea: 1. You take ongoing damage at the END of your turn...

After I had read the many warlock threads as of late, an idea came to me while I was standing in the rain waiting for the bus from work. I let the idea grow in my mind for a couple of days, working out some of the kinks. Finally, I have come up with what I think is a viable "fix" for warlocks...

Hybrid Warlocks don't get Shadow Walk unfortunately, and I used Hybrid Talent to get Swordmage Warding (need that +3 to AC if I'm gonna defend anything at all!). The point about the Twofold Pact was that it probably isn't legal, since it would basically grant me a class feature (Eldritch pact...

Hi guys, I'm the regular DM for my group, but I might actually get to play in our next adventure (!). Therefore I've been tinkering on a character, and actually introduced a potential future PC as an NPC in the current campaign (that I'm DMing). The group consists of 4 players (originally 6, a...

Typo. It's up already. Dungeons & Dragons Roleplaying Game Official Home Page

Thanks for all the replies, guys! D'oh! :p Yeah, this is what I thought as well, cool to have a REAL flying dragon for once. And for the record, I'm not convinced that immobilizing a flying creature (that has hover) causes it to fall, but... ...knocking it prone does on the other hand...

The flyby attack in question is the one of the copper dragon (MM2). It states that the dragon can make a (now this is the good part) melee basic attack at any point during the movement. The dragon has in fact two different melee basic attacks - a bite and a claw. Now the claw is nothing special...

But this hasn't: Download - 379_Assassin_Epic.pdf

Yes, the link was broken yesterday. But I found it by changing the path to Download - 169_Blasphemer.pdf, as it's the usual "link-style" of DDI articles. Curiously enough, it appears that instead of fixing the link, they rather changed the location (or the protection) of the .pdf. As it is now...

Ok, I reworked my ward mechanism a bit and added one for the psion. So... questions? Thoughts? Too strong, too weak? Unnecessary, imbalanced?

First of all, great discussion. Secondly, I'm inclined to make house rules as simple as possible. Therefore I think of doing it like this: And I won't ban any feats. If a player wants to spend feats cheesing his/her character out, be my guest. EDIT; Oh, and sorry 'bout the necromancy. Ph35r teh...

Oh happy day! Say hi to (one of) your (many) new(est) members! PS. Sorry for not contributing more than this, I'm just too giddy to say anything else! :lol:

Not to derail the thread, but what do you think of my proposition (a couple of posts above this)? A few points though: 1) Pass through provokes OAs as normal, if that wasn't clear (as you leave an adjacent square without shifting). Training in Acrobatics just makes it less deadly/risky. 2) It...

Seems about right. Here's an idea though, bear with me: Modelled after Bull Rush (unless you didn't notice), and here's an addendum to Acrobatics to go with it: ACROBATIC FEINT [TRAINED ONLY] You flip and turn, doing cartwheels and somersaults to get out of the way of your enemies. Hope this...

Nice. I was actually secretly thinking how this could work for a martial controller myself. :P I prefer your wording of the ward/eye to mine, although I think we could go for a compromise, i.e. giving it a power format. I'm dubious to having it last the entire encounter, but that could be a...

Yes, maybe you're right. Edited my previous post to consolidate the changes. Here's an idea for a paragon feat: Paragon Ward Prerequisites: 11th level, controller role Benefit: Whenever your ward triggers, the target takes a -2 penalty to an different defense of your choice until the end of...

Sorry for the doublepost, but I didn't want to cause more confusion with my rampant editing. Here's my latest rework on the concept: And a couple of heroic tier feats to flesh things out: What do you make of this? Does it even come close to being balanced? :P

How about... Perhaps one could increase or decrease the size of the burst, or make it last until the end of your next turn instead of at the start. Not sure how it would be balanced. Thoughts? EDIT: Thought I'd create a more static mechanism, a kin to marks. This could then be attached to all...

I'd say it's a warden, perhaps utilizing a new water/sea based build (Guardian Might: Oceanbound, anyone?). In fact, I really hope it is, since I think it's one of the things that are missing from the Warden as is; too much focus on earth this and stone that - I want the fury of the friggin...

Don't count on it. I mean, the point of the extra powercards that come with the minis is that they aren't found elsewhere, at least not in a book (ie. they will be found in the CB and the compendium in the next update). WotC have stated (unless I dreamt it?) that the powers might appear in...
