I thought the idea of NPC classes like the warrior was to be weak, so first level orcs don't kill so many PCs. But the Adept is weak in the wrong way. It's kind of like a wizard multiclassed with commoner, when what I need is a true spellcaster, just weaker. Slower spell progression is the...

Here's a blog post by someone explaining why they like to play a race the DM hasn't fleshed out yet.

Thank you very much, Jack99. I am almost getting used to the amount of effort Enworlders will put in to make my adventures the best they can be. Since it's my first time DMing 4E, I am planning to do a dry run through the encounters with practice PCs. I will let you know how well balanced...

I just passed over that one with a "The #2 generator listed is for 3.0 still", but when you look at it, it's still pretty good! Features I like: It generates mounts for everybody, which is a fun option. Maybe my Goblin Wiz5 should show up on a riding dog. It has a "magic damper" feature. If...

Thanks. It kills me that this thread showed up right away in the Google results for "NPC generators," but then I tried changing the name so people who googled "NPC generator" would find it, and now it doesn't show up on either one. So people will be stuck with the lame old Myth-Weavers...

My instinct would be to say yes -- I would build that race into my campaign for him and make plot points off of it. My concern would be that he was trying to make something broken like a race with a +4 Strength adjustment, but for all we know right now he just wants to play as a Smurf. I say...

I honestly thought I went and checked the skill synergies page before I posted that. I'll strike it through. Is that a rule? I don't see it on this SRD page, but it makes sense. Sorry I had to review things still in beta, but I wanted that level 6 bard now.

Do not mess with the Google. My post was at least on the first page of "NPC generators" (plural) before and after I changed the title it barely shows up in the search results anywhere. Probably a good thing or you could just change things after Google found them willy nilly.

I knew Dungeon Delves was an option, and I also thought it might have terrain I could steal, so I picked it up in Barnes & Noble and read through about seven delves while my nephew played with the tank engines. I wasn't excited at all. Maybe I'm judging them by the wrong standard, since...

That's a great idea, Badwe, because those are settings you can actually get into. If someone bullet points a setting like Mirage and you're like "Yeah, jungle madness!" you can actually go buy or look at the cards, and get more and more ideas about stuff to put in your own campaign.

So what I can do is just take Raiders of Oakhurst Reloaded and subtract out 350 xp worth of monsters from each encounter, then divide the remaining monsters into that many minions. That should be easy!

I think the first time you run something, you shouldn't design, but should try to get a feel for how it's supposed to work. You can focus on just executing the shifts and recharges and things that are built into the encounter that you wouldn't have known to put there yourself. Besides, I am...

Are there any other games like Magic: the Gathering, where you welcome a 5th and 6th edition because they bring in new people but you can keep playing with your 3rd and 4th edition cards? Or is it going to be like the NBA where new rules mean you have to change your game too? I don't think I...

I'm bumping this just because I posted it on the 4th of July weekend, it fell off the front page before Monday and I don't see any other reason why this would be the only thread I've ever posted that nobody had any ideas about.

I banned Fireball because it meant I couldn't have any monster under 4th level survive past round 1. Too power trippy? I might change my mind.

I kind of expected Wizards to do like with Magic the Gathering and start having new editions regularly. There's that "we" again, that isn't me. I think it's because I just don't keep reading those 20-page-long threads after they devolve into edition wars. So for me, the edition wars don't...

I was wondering who the "us" was in the original announcement.

Wow. I had no idea! It actually sounds really intriguing, a huge departure from generic fantasy and yet still D&D. You did a really good job bullet-pointing that one, every one is something that a) distinguishes Dark Sun from all other settings and b) has a really expressive flavor. Your one...

Just bumping this thread to say that Clairaudience won't work any more, it's just Long range now. But I wanted this thread to be accurate so I can submit it to the DMing Advice thread. Any other tips for long distance communication? What is the lowest level monster you can summon that has...
