    New PH3 Class....The Psion!

    I can see your guys point about the powers mentioned. The main issue I have with the Psion is the forced loosing of powers to gain new powers. I would feel much better if they just are able to add new at-wills for each encounter. The unaugmented new power should have a power level of a 1st...

    New PH3 Class....The Psion!

    I think the key to Pychic Brand is the huge damage boost given to the party for each hit. This power is like turning the target into a pinata. They can't hide, and every hit against them gets a fairly large boost to damage. Skillful party members will use this opportunity to use their...

    Any 2nd Gurus that can help?

    Thanks guys, I will use the 1st edition rules as a basis as I don't have a copy of LL available. Thanks for all of your input. JesterOC

    Any 2nd Gurus that can help?

    I am playing a 4E game, and one new player has asked if he can use the God Call or God Power rule from 2nd Edition. I did not play 2nd much, so can anyone tell me what this rule is and how it was balanced, because it does not feel "right" to me. But I want to let him have fun, so I at least...

    Why Every Character Should Be a Juggler

    I thought clerical implements did not have to be in a hand to be used.

    What rule system am i looking for?

    I would go Savage worlds. It has a lot of what you need. I must admit I have not played it much but I am about to start a campaign and I have been reading the rules for a few weeks now. 1 A sense of simulation that allows for handwaving but does not assume it. I think SW is not a strong...

    Manual of the Planes Excerpt: Shadowfell

    The Dead Anyone know how the dead are depicted in the SHadowfell? If all souls end up there (at least as a jumping off point) there must be tons of dead showing up all the time. What do they look like, are they like ghosts or are they solid. Do they act like the ghosts in the 6th sense...

    Barbarian is up!!!

    I'm guessing that the recoop strike will help with the lack of High AC. On the other hand the player who may be running a barbarian in my game is going to go pick Chain and Scale feats for their 4th level barbarian. (It will be a direct replacement of the fighter PC that was a stand-in until...

    Barbarian is up!!!

    Rage strike is a very good power that is not presented well. I am really curious how Avalanche Strike is going to work out. It looks like a great "finisher". Recovering Strike looks like it converts minions into health kits, but we shall see. I can imagine the barbarian getting in arguments...

    Barbrarian Speculation

    My take. Striker Higher damage than Ranger Higher hit points but much less AC than Fighter Two handed weapons specialization bonus of some kind. Bunch of Bloodied triggered comeback style powers Perhaps some bonus on death save. Oh and second week of October. JesterOC

    Rage mechanic (PEACH)

    D'oh! Yeah I should change that to with a melee weapon. I checked the Minions damage output and the toughest minion out there (a 26th level minion called a Lich Vestige) just does 10 points of damage. I also checked the berserk weapon's resistance and it scales from 5/10/15 per tier. The...

    Rage mechanic (PEACH)

    Engilbrand- Love the names especially Epic. I think I want to keep the bonuses generic instead of Attribute based. This is mostly because it keeps the bonuses equal to all. It would seem odd that a Strength based fighter gets less of a benefit than a dex based rogue. You are making me...

    Rage mechanic (PEACH)

    Yes see below. :) My main reasoning is that being bloodied is equal to 2 healing surges ( assuming a player wants to heal up at the end of the encounter). So at the heroic tier after a fight the character is down a minimum of 3 healing surges (2 for the bloodied condition 1 for the rage...

    Rage mechanic (PEACH)

    Thanks guys. Stalker0. I like the idea of only being able to use it when bloodied. This does several things. 1) It effectively adds two healing surges to the cost of the power. 2) It allows us to make a better feat in the paragon tier that removes the bloodied restriction and thus allows...

    Rage mechanic (PEACH)

    Can you guys help me out on this... Here is what I am trying to accomplish. I want the player to be able to rage if they need to during a fight. I don't want to lock it down to once per day but not as easy to do as once per encounter. I want it to have a very noticeable combat effect which...

    Ravenloft is being folded into the core setting for 4E (Domains of Dread)

    Well.. I have only DMed the original Ravenloft module. Anyone care to give me a quick heads up of what this is. Was it an area near of Ravenloft, or was it planar in nature. JesterOC

    What would you have done?

    You can move through but you can occupy the same square, so I think bullrush is still out. As for the size issue... I have no clue. JesterOC

    What would you have done?

    Response inside the spoiler block. Edit: Blast! Ninja Wolfwood2 beat me too it. Considering that the blue ooze is only in KoTS and not the monster manual and that it is adjacent to the chamber with the ooze and the rats, I would say it is pretty much KoTS. Yes the Blue Oozes chamber is...

    What would you have done?

    The encounter is from KOTS better description below. The encounter is from Keep on the shadowfell. The Jelly and the rats have a symbiotic relationship. If the rats start attacking the party, the Jelly joins the fray because the things with sharp pointy things are now distracted. The rats...
