    Free RPG Day!

    Or, in my case, your store is under 5+ feet of water. Yay for living in Iowa!

    what to replace dragonborn breath and eladrin fey step?

    Allow Eladrin Wizards to "upgrade" Pick an At Will as an Encounter, and then still get 2 At Wills. That's not too bad.

    An alternative to Milestones

    This gives 1 Action Point per encounter. That's huge. My only suggestion would be to say you can't pick the same thing twice in a row, but then that might emulate milestones too closely.

    Stalker0's Alternate Core Skill Challenge System: FINAL VERSION 1.8!

    I'd have to second the complexity - I don't think I could run this without referring to a cheat sheet or my computer. That said, it does look good mechanics-wise. I think if you could come up with some happy medium that keeps close to those numbers, but without going over (i.e. Easy = level...

    Out of Healing Surges - what now?

    I think I'm going to award a healing surge AND an action point every milestone. The milestones occur fairly steadily with finding big pieces of evidence it looks like. The encounters that I've redesigned are following the 4e rules of encounter building, which assumes a party with some resources...

    Out of Healing Surges - what now?

    I think it's definitely something with conversions to be aware of, that Healing in a 4e game may seem easier, but is actually a *limited* resource, given how potions are done in 4e. I don't think this is a 'flaw'. The guy is a melee ranger. The module is Paizo's "Hangman's Noose", by Nicolas...

    Out of Healing Surges - what now?

    Well, this wasn't exactly the response I was expecting, but still - thanks for the responses so far, I really appreciate them! As the DM, here's some stuff I've thought of that I can maybe do to help the situation on my end: Some mechanical solutions I've thought of on my own: - Paladin NPC...

    Out of Healing Surges - what now?

    I started my 4th Edition game on Friday, and as we came to a close, one of the players announced he was out of healing surges, and that they should rest for the day. Problem is, they're not in a situation where resting is really possible. They're stuck in a extremely hostile environment (edit...

    Smudges - All Core books

    No problems here so far, but I haven't looked closely. I would not call them horrible though. As a person who bought the first printing of Midnight and second(?) printing of Conan from FFG and Mongoose, whose books FELL APART within a week of getting them, I think the quality is just fine so...

    D&D 4E Shado's 4e Color Landscape Sheets v1.2: UPDATED 6/24

    What's happening for the D&D Games Day at your FLGS?

    Not sure who all is coming to my FLGS, but I'm running stuff there, so it should be awesome (because I am awesome). We've got all kinds of goodies to give away though apparently. I was talking to the owner, and he was given crazy boxes of goodies from his distributor. Critical Hit Games...

    Extended Rest House Rule

    Hey, one thing to note too - The Extended Rest assumes you are actually Resting/Asleep/Not On Watch for 6 hours, not exactly consecutively though. It mentions how in a party of Five people (the average 4e party), each will get 1.5 hours of watch for the Extended Rest, bumping up the total...

    D&D Gameday: Into the Shadowhaunt

    My friend and I are DM'ing this on Saturday. We're going to go over what we like and don't like prolly on Friday night, and maybe see what the other has for ideas to improve this.

    Paper Minions - WT?

    My answer is Jackie Chan. I just searched Youtube for "Jackie Chan fight" and got some results - One of which is a fight scene from New Police Story, where some guy is in a toy shop with a gun. The fight is a couple minutes long. Guy in a toy shop -> Not a minion I also got a result from...

    How do you really determine monster ability scores?

    There's some definite fudge factor all over - take a look at the damage expression table. Almost nothing in the MM follows that precisely - you have Lurkers (which are suggested to do the high damage column) that do the low damage column. Also, things seem to do weapon damage when wielding a...

    New 4e campaign using Pathfinder's RotRL - Am I crazy?

    Bah, I'm doing it for Age of Worms. It's not hard, and I don't even have the books yet! I've been basing it off what's to be found out now, and some of the stuff Keterys has put out (including Pathfinder-style goblins, I might add!) Biggest thing to get around? Realize that you will make...

    I like that my money goes to support cool people like Mike Mearls.

    D&D 4E Should WotC Release 4E Now?

    Uh, no big deal. This kind of thing happens all the time with other releases, like Harry Potter, or Final Fantasy X. Breaking street date is nothing new, and all that can happen is companies crack down on the retailers that broke things. For a huge retailer like Buy.com, the worst they'll get...
