Too much 3.x mentality. Create your character before you ever look at skills or classes, then use the available classes to match. There is *no* thematic difference between a 4e rogue outfitted to represent a swashbuckling Errol Flynn type, than building it in 3.x The majority of concepts are...

A great deal of the problems people seem to have with this kind of percieved information gap, is cookie-cutter-monster syndrome. The succubus can do X. Different Succubi are likely to use different methods. They all go into combat in much the same way, although likely with different tactics...

I hope Multiclassing works well. This gives me even more hope for my Warlord/Wizard (Warmage) character :D

I wish my local store had somebody like you, Fitz :(

If you want to treat healing surges as resource for health.. well, maybe, but you've got the question of why certain classes would have more. Have you seen the magic items that already exist? They are no dissimiliar to your ideas.

I'm sorry, I see no equivalency in requiring a wizard, to requiring a cleric, in 3.x. A wizard will be helpful, and add nice oomph, but I do not see why. (At the levels we've currently seen) be necessary.

HAH! You need more experience with obsessed people. WRT to the OP.. Well, I like it, and I don't have the kind of issues that Lizard or RobertL seem to predict. Never have. I expect a succubus to a master of seduction, without resorting to Magic. I had no issues with the Statblock as...

The same thing that happens to your current 3.5 campaign? In my 3.x campaigns, If you do not get a full 6 hours of rest (adjusted for race, as indicated), you will not get the effects of your daily rest, in HP. A wizard does not get the spell allotment. Clerics are able, with their morning...

*cough* Gandalf *cough*

I can't speak for any other DM.. But I can ensure that no player will recieve any message from me regarding the difficulty of the task they are undertaking. I've yet to decide what I'll do regarding inappropriate checks.. but I'll be waiting for the rules in any case.

We've had better information. The DM sets the difficulty, based on the description of the action.

What RL calls death, and what the DND world calls death, are two different things. The Animus and the Soul, together with the body, produce a very different thing to what (I, at any rate) constitute as RL 'life' Losing the soul, and being able to keep it from travelling to the Shadowfell...

The whole Far Realm is dedicated to things nastier, stranger, and tougher than the Gods. Its a perfect Epic level play-ground. I'ma gonna have me a shot at Titus, and Randolph Carter.

F'ing Brilliant :D I really like the run-by-run. I like how the game plays through.

I generally assume that only things that do enough damage to drop you in one hit, and by drop, I mean actually dead.. kill you. 0 hitpoints, and negative hitpoints, are indicators you've unlikely to survive without external help... But you might. There's a chance, a good one... but you might...

Yes. I've ordered 2 copies of the Boxes set from Amazon. 1 Personal, 1 Table. *shrug* I want to move to 4e, and Amazon's prices are rediculously low, compared to the Australian market prices. The boxed set cost the same as the PHB will here.

edit: Beaten to the punch. I should read threads entirely before replying.

Must you? At least if you are going to bitch whine and troll a thread, do it accurately? That is one (poor, ime) possible view of the abstration of hit points. The other, more common acceptance, ime, is the acknowledgement that the only hit that does real damage is the one that drops you.

I don't like any of the suggestion for wizard, so far. The rest of it is quite good. Preservers were not common, it wasn't easy, and that extra life force had to come from somewhere. Defilers are the default wizards, and they are *hated*. They shouldn't recieve extra power, preservers should...

An aside, but how do you deal with item creation?
