From the other side of the coin.... I designed a puzzle for a group in my campaign over 15 years ago... The group could never solve it. A number of campaigns have ended and restarted, and the puzzle remains. Every once in a while it comes up... either by an NPC or the players themselves...

A prophecy predicts that a savior of man will arrive. Angels appear and tell the PC to head to some town to greet him. A bright star appears... A deity is born... Or something like that....

Nearly everything that Chris said had something to do with money. I know that it's a business, but it seems like the insider thing is money, money, money. Money for the subscription, money for the tiles, money for the new monster models... And then all of this business with the Repository...

You should drop a Black Pudding shaped like a 16 TON weight on to the character.... don't forget the falling damage for the weight of a blob of living corrosive acid... Aluvial

I know all of the Mounted X feats in the PHB including Sprited Charge (awesome) and Trample... Do you know of other feats from other sources that I may look at? Thanks, Aluvial

I look to this site for interesting book pricing.... I'm just not sure how recent the information is... http://www.acaeum.com/index.html Aluvial

Um, everyone knows that my character is 257th level.... I can TOTALLY kill that guy who is at 256...

I wouldn't do this, but I would try this. How about Metamagic feats that allow you to take spells in lower slots, by putting some type of penalty on them. For instance. A Metamagic penalty to all ranged and melee touch spells. If you take a -5 on the attack roll, you may cast this spell...

I agree with you about the special fate of the character. She was awarded a "get-out-of-death free" card based on heroic actions the group took earlier in the campaign. When I asked her if life, no matter how bad it might be, would be preferable to death, (maybe because of my House Rules on...

I'm allowing a Heal check to increase the natural healing rate of an Injury point. 2 points/week instead of 1. As for the rest. I understand your feelings. This was a special case scenario. Typically, I play the rules system out, just like everyone else. And I typically stick to the rules...

Sounds like I need to call you a Whaaaambulance. No, the Injured PC can rely on her friends to get her the magical aid needed, OR, she can count her lucky stars that she is alive and roll up another 1st level PC until her current is healed. It might be gritty, but this type of wound should...

Alright, here is what I did... I dropped the PC's CON score down to a 1, most of it being Temp Damage, but 1/4 or the points (5) of it being Permanent. In reference to the wound, I added a new concept I called Injury points. The number of injury points is equal to the total CON lost, both...

Cure Lt. Wounds mends bones... I would have thought that you might needed something higher level. Anyhow, thanks for the responses. Aluvial

I have a character who has received an open chest wound... and survived. I am going to assume that there are 4 ribs hewn through, and the lung is cut and collapsed. The character is in what most would call critical condition. The party is 2nd level. Normally, this blow would have killed...

I would like the system you suggest. Perhaps I jumped the gun... Wow! I LOVE 4E now! Aluvial

OK, I missed that. So, will there still be saving throws or will this be a type of ability check against a DC (using current game terms). EDIT: So wait a second. If passive checks become ability checks, how will a character actually improve on these (other than the seldom ability bonuses...

You are absolutely right. The new system does allow a player to "put the fate of their attacks/spell attacks into their own hands." What it does change from the game now, IMO, is the fun factor of determining your own fate when something is happening to you. I know that you can't have it...

This puts the argument on a different level (which is fine). Sure, the player will now determine whether or not the effect of their actions affect the NPC/creature. In a way, this "puts the fate of their actions in their hands." My issue is, "Will determining the fate of your initiated...

I rephrased this on the Wizard's boards and it seems to make a little more sense to me than my original post here. Here is what I wrote: I'm really concerned with (is this in the wrong place?) the idea of taking the saving throw away from the player. There is something fundamental in the...
