I've always been told that despite only attacking once per turn, a DnD combat is actually multiple strikes back and forth. Greater strength therefore indicates that you make more of those strikes count, by puncturing their Armor, or whatever. That's what makes sense to me.

Hey - You could do what I did with Familiars. I made a ritual of it, and it summons a small critter that is fairly useless, but gives a +2 to a skill check, a la 3.0/3.5. BUT I made a feat called IMPROVED FAMILIAR, which lets you take advantage of the Familiar keyword. What's the familiar...

I'm going to GenCon. So are my friends. This will be my 2nd time. I booked a hotel room a week and a half after we left Indianpolis :P I wasn't too active, though, since I didn't know what to expect. Hopefully I'll volunteer at the Ennies booth again and stuff like that though.

I'm not sure if I'll stay in should it not go 4e. I never get too involved in these things, which makes me kind of sad, but I can't seem to find time to do it. Oh well, no worries.

I think that's a cool way of doing it though. Right now, in my game, I'm running a conversion of Age of Worms for 4e. I had planned on allowing access to a Paragon Path, for example, should the characters join an organization like the Seekers - but I think this would work better. I'm at work...

I don't own Castle Whiterock, but can you describe the location the creature will be encountered in? It might make more sense to make it a skirmisher, for example, if the location has a lot of ledges that let you move around. In addition, you might look into Flyby Attack (Wyvern's have it...

I think that's an awesome way to implement Guilds/Groups and give them something special, without overpowering it (since it looks like you'd be able to pick this abililty instead of your regular power). Would it require a feat for membership? I don't think you'd need one, but you could make...

No, it's not with any actual comparison of a monster from one edition to another. My guess is that the 4e Team divided potential adventuring areas into different "level ranges" - like, Underdark adventures were typically thought of as being Paragon by the Design Team, so Drow, Mind Flayer and...

Sorry - I should clarify. What about making INT to Initiative instead of DEX to Initiative. Back in 3.0/3.5, we did WIS to Initiative instead of Dex, and it worked fine (reasoned it was based on reaction time rather than how fast you were).

I've been doing straight conversions. Lvl 1 = Lvl 1, and Lvl 20 = Lvl 20. 21 to 30 seems like the equivalent of Epic to me in the old edition.

Why can't you just do Int to Initiative?

It's always been my understanding that Lvl 20 3.5 = Lvl 20 4e, not Lvl 30 4e. Basically they put the Epic Level Handbook into the core of 4e.

Hey - I'm working on a conversion to 4th Edition, and trying to come up with some of the ways for this baby to work. Has anybody done any conversions of it yet though?

Eladrin = Rockseer's in my campaign. I just finished running The Night Below, and that's the closest equivalent. We transmogrified their teleport to have to be in contact with earth or rock, and then gave them a skill bump or something to compensate for the general teleport.

Note - I did not create this! I think it was Henry! I've kept it in a google notebook since I saw it, because I too will eventually need this. Froghemoth Level 13 Elite Brute Huge Natural Beast XP 1,600 Initiative +8 Senses Perception +7, Darkvision HP 320; Bloodied 160 AC 25; Fortitude 25...

Pramas is just sharing an opinion. It doesn't really mean anything, he's just musing. Since he isn't in the 4e boat, I don't really take it as more than just him still being skeptical of the new edition.

Unknown Armies! Unknown Armies There's some books out there by Tim Powers which captures Unknown Armies perfectly. The one that comes to mind right now is Last Call. I can't describe it well enough, but it's a fun read. Also, Godwalker is a book you can find that's by Greg Stolze. You can...

In 3e, you could do it without the mat. Same with 4e. The way I do it is as follows: In combat, there's basically two types of attacks, melee and range. If you're in melee, Melee and Close powers will work. If you're at range, Ranged and Area powers will work. Since Close and Area...

You mean the castle you had up in your booth? That was awesome. If anyone out there has been thinking of starting up on card-stock modeling, this is a great deal. The stuff is already super cheap, and looks great.

Gah! I can't get the article! All I want though, is a Rod of Seven Parts. The concordance system would work perfectly for it in assembling the various parts as opposed to "how much it likes you" kind of thing. I thought the leveling thing was there because according to DMG, all artifacts...
