I've been playing an epic level ardent for a while, and I have noticed that I tend to spam Energizing Strike a lot. Perhaps it's just the way my DM sets up encounters, but it's just too good not to use it fully augmented when I can. All in all I like the psionics system, although I think I'd...

I voted "Yes" because I would like to see this kind of product, but I don't see why it has to be limited to "noncombat" things.

While I have yet to do it, it seems to me that fitting a "nonstandard" cosmology (that is, something that's not 4e's World Axis model) to 4e would be about as hard as hard as fitting a nonstandard cosmology to 3e (that is, something that doesn't use the Great Wheel). For me, the "worst" thing...

I think that's one of the cards of the Deck of Many Things. I'm really looking forward to that!

I don't think a book full of "roleplaying" items is strictly necessary, either. But, when I played WoW, vanity pets and titles were popular things amongst a large subgrou of player. I think they could devote a decent chunk of an Adventurer's Vault or Bazaar of the Bizarre article to beasts...

It seems to me that gods are the personification of metaphysical and abstract concepts. Bane is the god of war, Ioun is the god of knowledge, Avandra the god of freedom, and so on. In my opinion, gods of natural objects or processes aren't in charge of the day-to-day aspects of that object or...

:lol: If it's any consolation, some players have mentioned they like the simple, back to basics low level aspect of the game. Back to bullywugs, I've had to set them aside for a while. But I was thinking of giving them a swim speed 4 instead of a swim check reroll. The advantage is that if a...

That's why I think a "bloodline" feat like dhampirs or vistani will be the way they go, as any race can become a dhampir or vistani.

I wonder if goliaths will get the "V" treatment at some point and be given the option of +2 Str, +2 Con or +2 Wis. That would help them fit the advice that they are make good seekers.

If they ever decide to make elan, they'll probably use something like the dhampir or vistani bloodline feats.

Excellent work! Low-level artifacts are cool.

Yeah, it's Nature's Release. Basically, anyone who crits them can heal 4 or 5 hitpoints. It's supposed to represent the natural world's satisfaction at having the strange, alien frogmen thwacked. ;) Because PCs bullywugs are "reformed," I probably won't make it so that enemies benefit from...

Yeah, I was thinking it was battlemind-ish. :) Devious Scamper is basically the same as the Mantle of Readiness feat for ardents. I am somewhat concerned about the potential for doubling up if there's an ardent in the party (that goblin will be zooming around the battle field :) ). But the...

Well, we had our game last night and the player seemed quite receptive to the revised version of the power. We'll go with close burst 1, targets creatures in the burst (friend or foe), weakens, and costs a minor action. I think a bonus to Endurance and giving them the aquatic keyword are...

I'll be particularly interested in anyone's comments on this version of Rancid Air. I'm not sure if I should keep it as a standard action (weakened is a pretty nasty effect) or make it a minor (to keep it in line with other racial attacks like dragon breath or earthshock).

Somehow, when I responded to your post the first time, I didn't comprehend your interesting discussion. Sorry about that, you have some good ideas to consider. In particular, the idea of making Goblin Tactics into an encounter power has a lot of merit. The only at-will racial power I can...

For our "B-Team" adventurers (when the main campaign DM needs to take a break or when not everyone can make it), one of my players made up a bullywug avenger of Corellon. It's an amusing concept for a somewhat humorous campaign - basically, the bullywug thinks he's really beautiful and graceful...

This seems like a neat approach. What would happen when the PC rolls a natural 20 on his defense check? IMO, something cool should happen just like with an attack roll.

I'd push DDI heavily. By the time 5e comes out, I'd consider not releasing paper books at all. It would depend on the state of computing at that time - I'd be particularly interested in whether or not tablet computers like the iPad would be popular/ubiquitous. One idea I've had it making a...

I like it! Gnome assassins rock. The only thing I might have done different is put the 8 in Str instead of Wis, but it doesn't really matter either way.
