The warlord is very similar to a knight or other martial character. The idea is a tactically inclined individual who has some ability (either by training or what-have-you) to organize and rally troops (ally pcs or even npcs). This is a specific and focused roll, yes, but this type of warrior...

Edit: Ninja'd!

Darkmagic(k?)s roll 20's on roasting rats.

Rad suggestions. I dig them. One minor question... should this be in the 4e houserules section? Am I misunderstanding something?

Hehe, sorry. Fair enough is my expression for... I can understand what one is saying and I concede that it seems valid for their purposes... more or less. Then let's discuss! :) I'm totally inviting you to summarize or spell out your system of choice for how skills would work, especially in a...

Could a pseudo-multiclassing occur where powers of the same source are swapped? Such as switching a rogue's @will for a ranger's or fighter's? Or give a Warlock a Wizard's Scorching Blast @will instead of a... whatever @will power. Essentially, declass the system and roles to something more...

Has you my bucket? Meck, it looks good in general. There are a few typos, but I date an English major so... yeah. Anyway, I think the caste's features are pretty sweet and useful. They're not too overpowered (and I think an exalted level 1 PC would be overpowered compared to a normal level 1...

Perception is Search/Spot/Listen in one skill. Passive Perception = 10 + Perception. They oppose hidden things (like doors/traps/passages) and set a DC for stealthed characters. An active perception check can be made to specifically look for something 1D20 + Perception old school style. I hope...

Well, [Derails thread] MMO's are an interesting problem. I'm going to assume that you've played at least one or two... it's hard to think of anyone our age who hasn't tried at least one. The problem with mmos is that they are not fun. They have moments that are fun, but the games in of...

That's a pretty great solution. Think you might try it in a game? Well then, I agree with you. ;) But, I like to be aware of what people dislike, and some people aren't a fan of doing it that way... thus the thread. I totally think your way of doing things is pretty much how I'd do it. But, I...

What people? Sorry, had to try a hong-response. Awesome about the ENWorld mention. Verys studies archeology... so part of the time he fights Nazis/Russians and the rest of the time he works on D&D stuff? Sweet.

Thank you for that review. It sounded really fair and open-minded, and I appreciate that. Do you think dming 4e would be easier after playing it? I hope you have fun w/ it if you do play a PC.

Fair enough. I won't be putting in the thing I offered... I just like helping people if I can. Devil's advocate? The person in question may like 4e, but wants a system or codification for skills beyond what is set. It seems like multiple people want this. Soap, I gave it a whirl. I like the...

yw! :) ...get out of my mind meats... even though you did it first.

Sounds like it'll work pretty well. ::Thumbs up::

I totally agree (I don't think I posted Lizard's full original question thing. The implication was that the dwarf in the scenario had serious BG crafting booze). I think the 4e skill system is good and that it works. I think I agree w/ Firelance's way of doing things too. My pseudo-mechanics are...

I'm on page 10. I started reading when it was only 8 or so pages. I'm just gonna' go ahead and post my observations while I try to catch up... Paradigm the subversion. Stuff their kills! ...I think making horseshoes is kind of cool for a knight w/ a blacksmithing BG. Regardless, I think 4e does...

So... do I have it that if the skills will be specifically used, you will make a skill for it, but if there is not guarantee that it will affect the outcome of the game then the mechanics (or pseudo-mechanics like the ones I presented) are of no major concern to you (beyond a houserule bonus to...

Soo... I was reading that Craft/Profession thread over in rules when I read A completely valid scenario. My answer is the dwarf. If one must place a mechanical sense upon one's background allow them to choose various background nongamey skills and rate them in the following ranks... Layman...

I'd say Pente opposed to chess. The rules are pretty simple, but the strategy in the game is amazingly fun. I don't have much love for tic-tac-toe. It always felt like to me either tie or hope your enemy doesn't know your winning strategy. In regards to Metus, I think your complaints are...
