No, red's hit points should be fine where they are. By design the red magi is the hardest hitting striker/controller class of all, but to balance it the class has a glass jaw. This is in keeping with red's fighting philosophy of he who hits hardest wins. No class hits harder than the red mage...

Well, here goes. This is what I'm going to go with. This will be a long time in drawing up, but I think the new class solution with a smattering of support feats and slight rework of ritual casting should embed the flavor of the setting into the 4e game. Mage We are the seekers of truth Keepers...

Well, I got the PHB II today and I have some ideas to work through in my head. So we'll see.

First learn your basic mating patterns. King + Queen vs. King King + Rook vs. King King + 2 Bishops vs. King King + Knight + Bishop vs. King. You'd be amazed how many intermediate players don't know that last one. To improve it is imperative that you can perform all of these mates efficiently...

This isn't a trust issue - I don't know where you're getting that at. The point of the setting as it is currently written is that spells and the like are attached to color. Learning a spell of a color puts the player under the influence of that color. Because of the way the system currently...

Here is the first page of the chapter on Ethoses which lists the powers linked to each ethos. It explains in brief what they are and might help those unfamiliar with my setting or MtG to see what is being driven at here. ------------------------------------------------ Chapter 4: Ethos The...

Not a bad idea, but it brings up another problem. The ethoses aren't equal in all respects. For example - Valra is best at healing and Shunra is the worst. Shunra has the strongest offensive magic, Balcra has the worst. Balcra's whole theme of countermagic is going to be hard if not impossible...

That's a thought - but currently any class can be any ethos though admittedly some are a stretch (Sodran Druids). I don't particularly want to break that up if I can avoid it.

Which means 3.5e, because the only way we as a group are going to move into 4e is if the world which I've worked on for 15 years and they've been playing in for 5 "feels" right. Ethos being consequentially tied to spell choices in 3e is a major part of that feel. I'm perfectly happy with that...

The system will resize them automatically using a trim to fit operation. This means that if you don't have the proportions right something will be lopped off. Note that if your banner is *smaller* than the allowed size the system won't scale it up.

I've read over the 4e players handbook, and ran the system for 6 weeks, and the group mutinied and switched games entirely to Scion for about a 6 month run. We started back in D&D but the players want to go to 3e. That's what we're playing, but I still haven't quite given up on 4e. However, my...

Thanks for the input everyone </sarcasm>

Thought from yesterday - I need to tie the two halfling characters into the narrative more firmly but I'm slightly short on ideas since they more or less don't have a dog in the fight as of yet. Interactions in the thieves guild can probably draw the rogue in, but the wizard is another matter -...

Ah, I remember my work on Player's Option. Still have it in fact. Dusk II was 390 pages by the time 3e arrived, and almost all of it was Player's Option rebalances. Wonderful concepts in those books, but terrible executions. 3e came along and my rule changes dropped from 390 pages to 10 if you...

Last night I concluded session 2 of the new campaign for my players. I've gotten everyone's background pretty much worked in and things are already on their way to getting convoluted as Hell. Questions and comments sought - I'm still sorting this all out in my head. Player Characters Altan...

Character abuse makes for a good story though. If nothing bad ever happens to the party or the characters the story gets boring. It has happened to my characters on multiple occasions. And those characters where enraged. But for myself it drew me deeper into the game. It also made the defeat...

Honestly, I predict the next comic will be about Xycon or the Linear Guild (which we haven't seen in over a year now) - This particular arc with V seems done with the dragon gone - and Qarr being able to help this situation seems - forced.

I'll infer from this that your campaigns are boring as Hell. Good guys always win. :yawn: There are few things more satisfying than successfully defeating an utterly vile and despicable villain. I've had players jumping out of their seats over the defeat of a simple goblin (granted, said...

It's not some node - if it was the whole server would be down. The only thing it could possibly be is CM's nameserver glitching out, but if I recall correctly it shares that with ENWorld as well. I haven't been able to reach CM all morning.

You do that then. Why announce it though, the world could care less about who you choose to ignore. I have no patience for people who want the world changed to suit their whims and then complain when the world tells them 'no.' You have a CMD key, use that. If that requires too much effort go...
