The next version of the Auxiliary (version 0.07) will be coming out in the next few days. I'm almost done with all the paragon powers and paths. Then all I'll need to do is write up the epic powers and the class will be finished and ready to go for full playtesting. If you are interested in...

I agree with this and both a keyword and new attack type would work... However, did you notice the additional 4e reference on page 23: Area burst [#] within [#] squares How would changing this 4e Reference (i.e. its formula) not be altering its definition? That is a fine question and as...

If you don't see artifically limiting/extending the ranges of projectile/thrown weapons with the blanket Area burst formula as losing the flavor or ranged weapons I really can't debate this point because for me the range of a ranged weapon is part of its flavor. Trust me... I've looked that...

Thanks to both you and Scott for your replies. I can only imagine how busy the last couple weeks have been... and now that I know it'll be a while maybe I'll be able to take a break checking back here every few hours... or maybe not ;)

Say hello to Joe and Suzi for me... and enjoy the book ;)

Actually if you were to write this up it would say: At Will * Martial, Weapon, Volley Standard Action Area burst 1 within [#] squares* Requirement: You Must be wielding a ranged weapon. Target: Each enemy in burst *This is b/c Area burst is defined in the SRD as "Area burst [#] within [#]...

I was speaking of "Area burst" and its range issue, rather than Area attacks in general. In fact the only way I see the class working is to create an "Area volley" attack with the appropriate rules for how to create ranged weapon-based AoEs, since "Ranged" attacks cannot create AoEs according to...

Here are my top 5 questions: 1) What will be the differences between the D&D GSL and the d20 GSL? Will the d20 GSL allow for more customization of rules (b/c it is not associated with D&D and does not indicate compatibility) or will it just be a version of the rules intended for use with...

The thing is that if a burst causes a constant effect AoE, then how could you not target all creatures in it. Unless you would say in the power that only "enemies" are affected by the constant effect (difficult terrain, slowing, etc.). This is a possibility, but I'll have to think about its...

Thanks for your comments and I think I'll be going with Auxiliary as the new class name exactly because it does all those things ;)

I missed the clause under "Ranged Attack" that specifically states that they "don't create areas of effect." This is even more of an obstacle than the Area burst problem, so I might have to go with Area burst + a keyword, but I'm still trying to think of other options... I could create an...

Right... but I am also concerned with the zones created by an Area attack. If you can omit a particular target from an Area burst, then the question of what happens to the zone effect in that square needs to be asked. I agree keywords add flexibility, but the problem I see is that the "Area...

Not certain anyone has mentioned this yet as I didn't have time ti read through the thread... but what about using healing surges to lower the cost of using a ritual? Not certain how much one would be worth, but this could be a decent "anti-spamming" limiter. Sure you can do these out of combat...

Did someone mention fey, the feylands, and redcaps? Actually the Big Trouble in Little Oaktown introductory adventure for Nevermore has all three ;) As for changlings... well it doesn't have them, but it doeas have a whole bunch of kidnapped kids (who might just be turned into changelings if...

The only things you can truly convert over to 4e wholesale is the PI (Product Identity or "fluff"; which was not released as part of the OGL) and the non-mechanical OGC. The mechanical OGC in any converted product remains forever OGC, all you are doing is expressing the OGC in 4e mechanical...

Puts on Jedi robes... "Those are not the books you are looking for. Move along to Nevermore."

Actually its even more fantastic... I've been told that Expeditious Retreat is planning on releasing them later this month! I'm glad you've got the Gazetteer and LA... both were great fun to design and write ;)

Just wondering when the 4e D&D GSL FAQ might be updated with some of the questions and concerns of the last few days posted here and elsewhere. I wanted to let WotC respond to the questions before making any decisions about 4e and would love to have a "ballpark" figure so I don't feel like I...

So I'm leaning towards "Auxiliary" as an alternative name for the Harrier (formerly known as the Skirmisher). Its not the best name, but it fits all the different concepts of a Harrier under the same banner and is less likely to become a 4e Reference in the near future. Volleyer is another...

Here's another question: When you convert your OGL product are you really converting its OGC (which requires you to use the OGL) or just your PI (Product Identity, which is not released as part of the OGL)? After all the OGC rules work with the old d20 SRD and not with the new 4e D&D SRD...
