So, what is everyone's opinion on a Wizards of Waverly Place RPG? I think it would totally be awesome and cute and I know I would want to play the game. Has anyone seen this show? They are having a movie on this Friday...and the whole wizards versus vampires storyline arc would be a fantastic...

You can join my group =D I have maptools :Dand you can join and be a dungeon master!! Or if you want you can just play. I like to play in the evenings after my wife has gone to sleep. She likes to game, but has to wake up early in the morning and will turn into a pumpkin if she doesn't get...

Hi. I am a 27 old nerdy male looking for some gamer friends to play with at night. I like all kinds of games, but mostly Dungeons and Dragons. I can also DM if you want me to and I have lots and lots of experience and am really fun =D. I have the map tools thing and can do that also. Ryven...

First off, you can assume that most martial characters will take Twin Strike and be carrying an offhand or double weapon. This means fighters will lay down two marks per round and have a very respectable AC, especially if they take the tempest technique. Sneak attack is still only once per...

Well, a good exercise in semantics, then. BTW Draco, you are a logic machine recently, bustin' through these threads and layin' down the science. Getting tired yet?

Which forces the question - are 'dead' and 'dying' conditions and if so, could they be forced back on the enemy under turnabout? I would rule 'no' at my table, but I suspect one could make a legitimate argument for it by RAW. Edit: And do the conditions have to be negative? The power lists...

There was a really good thread a while back about "explain why this is cool" - basically one person asks why something that doesn't seem that flavorful or interesting to them grabs someone else's imagination and the person who answers drops the next one in line. This thread will be for 'how...

Someone earlier mentioned that Streetwise rolled in Knowledge: Royalty and Nobility. I disagree. Diplomacy rolled in Knowledge: Royalty and Nobility. In my games, Streetwise and Diplomacy are almost opposite-caste versions of each other. That is: *You strike a deal with the Duke or mayor...

Is there no multiclass feat or am I just missing something?

The other option, Asmor, is to throw all ability scores out the window and then adjust the rest of the game down 4. That might be somewhat more convoluted, though. I've been screwing around writing a game now for the last couple years that has no character stats so I really like this idea. I...

Oni already brought up the concept of equipping Espers, Materia, Guardian Forces or whatever, so I'll second it. You could have a party composed entirely of Dr. Who-types, though you would probably only switch over when someone dies. It would be more difficult to do so just 'overnight.'...

I like the idea. I think I would make this change/addition: A Real Spellbook (11th level): Your spellbook now also holds your at-will and encounter wizard spells. Choose one extra wizard at-will attack power and one extra wizard encounter power for each level of encounter powers you have. When...

Let's not oversimplify. 1) If two enemies are acting on the same initiative count (assuming that's possible), they each have their own turn and thus would be subject to a ranged basic attack. 2) Where this would change would be if an enemy gave another enemy movement as a standard action...

I've used this tactic before myself because I really enjoy it - especially for arcane characters. I've rolled Intimidate checks to cast Power Word: Kill, Cage of Force and Plane Shift. I also run a "Batman" Fighter who refuses to kill; enemies dropped to 0 HP either get knocked unconscious...

If the OP hasn't gone and looked at the Monk class, (s)he should do so. A unique move action combined with a standard actions has a 'full attack' feel to it. If you're going to do an 'Aim', the result shouldn't be any more than +1 since Combat Advantage is +2. You could also apply a +1 damage...

In response to the Paladin v. Fighter - my play experience has been that if you're the big Solo character, you worry when you see the Paladin because his mere presence is basically encounter-long ongoing damage with no save (unless you follow the mark, of course). If you're one of a horde of...

You could also steal the 'Compel' mechanic from the Dresden Files RPG - for D&D I would have each character write out 3, maybe 4 strongly-held beliefs or character flaws. Whenever a player has a character act on one of these beliefs to the detriment of the entire party (including themselves)...

Count me in with the folks who like the dwarven druid concept. I mean, just look at all those shifts! I've got half a mind to make a dwarf whose 'beast form' is a bulette constantly burrowing into and exploding out of the ground on shifts or movements that do not naturally provoke OAs. I find...

Early in this thread, someone mentioned that the hybrid characters would in fact be in the June update of the Character Builder. My search fu must be weak, because I can't locate the dev statement or the verification in the 'forum thread.' Would someone mind providing linkage? Also, does this...

As usual, I'm going to play devil's advocate and argue that the 'weaker higher level power' syndrome is a feature, not a bug. If you have these two design goals, it kinda makes sense: 1) Tiers are frontloaded: Like the save bonuses and class features of 3E that you got at 1st level, so are the...
