I like being able to get combat advantage on the first attack you make after using Goblin Tactics, but I'd probably make that a racial feat. I looked at The History of Goblinhood in D&D over at the Goblin Defense Fund and read over the old MM entries for them. The one thing I noticed that's...

It would also make them good summoning wizards, too (I believe many summoning spells use Con as a secondary?). Devil summoning tiefling wizards ... that's a cool idea! According to heridfel's twitter page, at this year's DDXP a rumor was floating around that tieflings might get to choose to...

No penalty. Warforged have a similar trait, and when Dark Sun comes out the thri-kreen will have it too. According to RAW, there are no penalties for never taking an extended rest. In theory, PCs can stay awake for weeks on end and suffer no ill effects (other than not being able to replenish...

A martial controller is pretty much the only thing "missing" for me right now. On my blog I've talked about a savant idea that I think is cool, and I also think the ranger could be repurposed to a martial controller (something like the hunter class from Iron Heroes).

To continue the discussion from the original thread ... Changelings can choose to have a +2 in Dex or Int - the other +2 is in Cha. When Dark Sun comes out, muls will get +2 Str or +2 Con, +2 Wis. True, but dwarf fighters get great synergy with Con, for hitpoints *and* axe/hammer use, and...

In my opinion, yes. But there are those who believe otherwise. If the last thread on this topic that I participated in is any indication, expect many replies. :)

So shall it be done. :)

(Note: I originally posted this topic in 4e Rules, when it really should have been here!) When monsters make the transition from an MMx write-up to a full-blown PC race, they usually get a few tweaks and minor buffs to give them some flavor. For example, before their PC write-up, gnomes in MM1...

You are correct. I totally forgot about the house rules forum. If a mod wants it so, this thread can be closed and a new one started in 4e houserules? I was thinking that I might give all hobgoblins proficiency in a military flail, like how all dwarves get proficiency in warhammer. I'm...

When monsters make the transition from an MMx write-up to a full-blown PC race, they usually get a few tweaks and minor buffs to give them some flavor. For example, before their PC write-up, gnomes in MM1 only had their skill bumps, Fey Origin, Reactive Stealth, and Fade Away. When they were...

I think a Wis/Dex cleric would be neat. They'd be kind of like a "first responder" medic, quickly running to where they were needed most. And I too scratch my head as to why bards at least didn't get Stealth and Thievery. Sure, they can multiclass easily, but bards have got practically all...

It wouldn't surprise me if they eliminated Mythic Sovereign. It would be like how they eliminated doppelgangers as a PC race when changelings became available.

On the basis of the Giant Slayer's Ride the Giant Down utility power, I might rule it something like this: Jumping On Larger Enemy Action: Standard Range: Melee 1 Target: One creature larger than you Attack: Strength vs Reflex Hit: You grab the target and you move into the target’s space...

Cool stuff. With this method, I'd treat ability scores as measures of effect - they give at least a baseline for the degree of success if a check is made. That could be damage from an attack, amount of weight lifted from a skill check, etc.

Not sure if anyone's seen this yet, but the Critical Hits blog has some screen shots of the Dark Sun characters. One of them is for "Kindrok, Male Goliath (Half-Giant) Arena Fighter."

lol! Nice one. :)

Cool idea. It's kind of like treating attacks as skills, and the class has training in those attacks (which makes sense IMO).

Well, from the cover, I can guess one of them ...

IMO, no, Divine Sanction does not retroactively change powers that bestow generic marks. However, I think when a PC runs a paladin I'll just make all the paladin powers that bestow generic marks bestow Divine Sanction instead. It's more flavorful and it's easier to remember.

Yeah, I was thinking it might be a good basis for a "John Carter of Mars" style science fantasy setting.
