It can be argued that the financial health of WotC as a game company is vital to the long term health of this hobby...

He's confused. Dragonborn benefits from high con, but it's because the modifier is added to their healing surge value. Another great aspect of Dragonborn Fighters is the breath weapon. As a minor action, breath and mark all foes in a 3x3 square? Fantabulous.

For every small designer out there, there are several thousand DMs who will never publish anything beyond what their small group of friends will see. For every person that buys 3rd party products, there are perhaps dozens more that will only buy WotC stuff because it's "official". The whole...

For the warlock, just allow him to change any spell that is Ranged 10, Target: one creature to Melee touch (perhaps as a feat option allowing him to switch between thet two?). Hide Armor + high Int is only about 2 points less AC than someone in Full Plate. Getting Concealment whenever he moves...

Thanks for the replies. re AMP Productions: I basically just adapted the cleric class straight out of the book. This whole thing took me about an hour's work, mostly having to do with layout (I created stuff as I typed). This is a very rough draft that is in dire need of editing (oops on...

40 views and no comments? Not even, "this isn't world of warcraft you noob!"?

Thanks for the comments! To be honest, the entirety of the work you see is a product of two hours, from concept to online posting of the PDF. I had the PHB turned to the races section on my desk and just based the format according to that. Someone else here on enworld had compiled a list of...

I've looked at the FAQs stickied on this forum, but they are extremely out of date. I don't expect to quit my day job, but I want to know how much money and effort I should expend on a PDF product to break even. Would it make better sense for a new writer to try to work with existing...

Neat writeup. You obviously thought about the balance by comparing it to other powers. I was about to comment that the Defender's Finesse ability could be duplicated by a feat (Heavy Blade Opportunity) but then remembered that the Combat Challenge isn't technically an Opportunity Attack. With...

I saw this thread this morning and whipped up the Priest class in about an hour or so. It's very rough, but I think it might meet some of the issues you have with not having to do damage to help the party. Priest Class I added a few Channel Divinity feats just for fun because I don't like...

I'm fine with the cleric in the PHB. It fits the defender of the faith type character very well. However, I also wanted a cleric that didn't have to always attack to aid his allies. The current cleric concept also prohibits pacifist type characters (not that such characters were well...

36 views and no responses make me a sad panda. :(

I was bored with a few hours to spare so I made the following. It's rather lengthy so I'm only putting a little bit here. Racial feats and a more proper description is in the attached PDF. Blessed Inheritors of a divine legacy, they shine like beacons in the darkness...

Conjurations can flank if they meet the criteria. However, Flaming Sphere fails to meet one of the important ones - the ability to take an Opportunity Attack. Most wizard conjurations cannot take OAs. Quite a bit of Cleric ones do though.

It has been shown that: If the wizard had high wisdom If the wizard took the Spell Focus feat If the foe doesn't have a bonus to saves Then when you hit with a spell, you can basicaly keep an effect on an opponent with small chance of making a saving throw. An effect like Sleep shuts down one...

Not necessarily true. In one of the threads for DDI, they said that they're releasing one of the classes that was originally slated for PHB2 early in an electronic format. They're doing the same to Artificers (due out next month on DDI). So we might see it around the same time next year?

That's dealing with invisible opponents or creatures with full concealment/cover. During combat, if you want to hide and use Stealth in preparation for an attack, it's an opposed roll. It's part of the Stealth check description. In fact, it's the very first bullet point under the mechanics of...

You now have spell thematics for free with all your spells! (under Flavor Text, pg 54). Here's a sample character I made for a session. During one fight she had a cup of tea floating by her side the entire encounter (the party was interrupted during lunch). Whereas the other wizard in the...

The rules are extremely clear. You don't use their passive perceptions during combat. Stealth is specified as an Opposed Role. That has specific meaning with regards to skills.

A point that a lot of people are missing is that the rogue needs to succeed in using stealth every round. Even if he can make an attempt every round, he's not gonna always succeed. Even if he has +12 to his Stealth check and the foe has +0 perception, the fact that it's an Opposed Check means...
