Not necessarily. They might just be a power held by the oni in question--a reflection of their shared nature. After all, the weapons held by a balor or pit fiend aren't loot either, just a part of the creature's powers.

Point noted on the auras. I just wanted to make sure that was deliberate. Elsewhere in this thread Mengu has made another suggestion that you might consider about rewording the Hitchcock's Gambit power. I noticed you made the bat swarm a soldier type. Did you perhaps mean to make that...

D'oh! Never mind, then. Goes to show how well I know the warlord class, I guess :o.

I would have called it "Walk it off, Soldier!". "Suck it up, Princess!" strikes me as a status-cancelling power. I do agree with discussion downthread, though--it does make a better feat modifying your Inspiring Word. As far as that status power goes, though... Walk it off, Soldier! Warlord...

Well, let's see what we have. I like this. Nice how the swarm can "stare down" someone trying to escape. Just a few nitpicks, though: 1. Swarms normally get an auto-attack with their aura. Was this something you did on purpose, or should that also be there? 2. Hitchcock's Gambit (love the...

Not just that, but 30 points with every roll a miss. IIRC, a miss with Bigby's wastes the power entirely. There's tradeoffs and benefits to both.

I see your point. If that is what he meant, then I withdraw my objection.

I believe you've misunderstood. The marked condition is at the heart of how defenders work--a penalty to attack anyone other than the defender; the secondary effects simply make defenders better at it (because other classes do have some marking abilities here and there). The mark from a...

Milestones don'te come exclusively from combat encounters. A series of skill challenges or other noncombat encounters should also count as encounters toward milestones.

Under 4E rules, his daily and utility spells aren't available to you, although any rituals recorded in his spellbook are certainly fair game (if you're high enough level). I would certainly consider an acquired spellbook justification to reassign your daily and/or utility spells (perhaps even...

Looks promising. I dunno how well a ranged defender will work, but it's worth a try.

12 Int? Genius slug, perhaps? I'd make that a 2 in my own game. And that Dex shouldn't be too high, either (slugs aren't too agile, IIRC). Good, good. Control and a little bit of damage. But the goo net spit should simply be "recharge 5,6"--it's a recharge power, not an encounter power...

Nicely done.

Agreed there:).

Ravenloft in the Shadowfell? I hope not.... Interesting news. I hope you're wrong about Ravenloft being just a part of the Shadowfell, though. Part of its appeal was its isolation from everything else in the D&D cosmology--the separation from everything familiar, "safe", and helpful (like...

So it was obvious, and I did miss it. Thanks. Sounds like they meant it to be like residuum, but I think I'm going to house rule that. I agree that ritual components should be light (so as not to hose ritual casters for their choice), but weightless is a bit much for early-tier ritual gear...

I'm hoping that I just missed something obvious, but is there any listing for how much the various types of ritual components weigh? Jason Roder

It might be OK mechanically to allow a warlock to pick from the slain foe pact boons on-the-fly (or to choose between full sets of benefits after an extended rest) but I personally would have an issue with a warlock serving two masters, since in my game warlocks actually do serve a master...

Wouldn't it be more appropriate to have Planar Mastery based off an origin (since that's essentially what plane of origin would be)? And given the fact that the standard setting only has 6 possible origins, wouldn't that be a little overpowered? You might also reconsider the strength of...

Sounds like an interesting way to implement a geas or the equivalent. Have you considered having this effect resisted with Arcana or Religion instead of Endurance? It might be interesting to resist a curse with something other than direct physical fortitude.
