    Chaos with At-Will Cantrips, and Casting Discretion

    I wouldn't make them roll on a cantrip normally, but if it was part of an extended attempt to the same person or group of people, I could see making a roll out of it. Seems like the example in the first post might be closer to a skill challenge than a single use of the power that may involve...

    D&D 4E How would you re-envision Darksun with 4e?

    I guess I should've been clear about my motivation. I reworked my party's DS characters as 1st level 4E characters based on the pregens and some info we've gathered. I'm running a short adventure using the 4E rules with their chars. The only snag I've really had is I'd love for them to face a...

    D&D 4E How would you re-envision Darksun with 4e?

    Getting really specific here, how would you create Thri-kreen as a 4E race given what you know now? I think I might create one just for fun for the next game and would like some input to try and get them right.

    D&D 4E How would you re-envision Darksun with 4e?

    Good point about the backstory, my only thought is that I'd like for Defilers/Preservers to have access to similar spells. Even if there are Defiler or Preserver only spells for their discipline, a common overlap could work out. With the full on Vancian casting this seemed to work easier than it...

    D&D 4E How would you re-envision Darksun with 4e?

    It's interesting thing to look into... I never ran my games with PC Defilers so the RP element was enough to make them enemies. In 4E, when you're having player characters I think the best bet would be causing random penalties to your allies or yourself as your power sucks energy away. The flip...

    D&D 3.x 4E Ruined My Love For 3.5

    I convinced my group to give 4E a try... and a day after I spent time reworking all their characters into 1st level versions in 4E. Yes - they don't have the crazy damage, but they all have powers similar to the feats/spells/whatever they had in 3.5. So far we're planning on finishing up the...

    Excerpt: powers (merged)

    Those power cards... YUCK. A few hours of work by several people over in the power card thread here have turned out some amazing results. No mention of even providing a blank template to print them out yourself so they don't look like a 3rd grader made them.

    Making your own power cards

    I really love these... I sincerely hope that come June 6th you work on a full set. I just can't say how impressed I am!

    Making your own power cards

    Sweet, what program are you using for for those, Trolls? Also... I searched the thread and couldn't find RandomCitizenX's set to be dropped into the Magic Set Editor. Does anybody have one with all the pregen powers made up? The jpegs look great but I'd be interested in the ease of modifying...

    Making your own power cards

    Thanks for the cards! Trying to get a set together for running the adventure this week. Should be really exciting! For those of you using the Magic Set Editor, know of any way we might be able to add-to or replace the magic icons with ones like these :bmelee: :melee: :ranged: :close...

    8 power sources. so what are the other 4?

    This is without a doubt my favorite 4E post so far.

    Dark Sun, 4th Edition

    I would definitely want to see a Dark Sun campaign setting. I'd love to see more campaign settings and less fully fleshed out campaign worlds. Keep the actual adventures in PoL format but leave some that would easily drop into Dark Sun or other adventures. Sure... the modules wont all fit...

    D&D 4E Keep on the Shadowfell specifics from Mearls (4e designer) .. new info on Page 2

    No kidding! And what a good time to test digital distribution than with a test module... maybe make it free pdf to those that sign up for a year of DDI (not me!) or something... it's just too close to the phb for me to be interested in dropping anything more than a few bucks.

    D&D 4E My 4e Playtest Comments...

    Sounds great! Since I do all my gaming with MapTool, I never worried about marking characters or any of that stuff. Now I just need to get MapTool to support the new movement system and we'll be golden. We didn't ever have any trouble with the math when a program does it for you, but in the mean...

    D&D 4E Raiders of Oakhurst: A 4E Fan Playtest Adventure

    I would be interested in a reloaded version with some tweaks, perhaps some more encounter options as well. I also hear the biggest criticism of the maps is that they're a little too tight to get everybody into the fray - would be cool to see some changes there.

    Making your own power cards

    Very very cool! I'm hoping to run one of the few one shot adventures here to introduce us to 4E ... these will make doing so much easier. I wont be doing it face to face, but using MapTool + Skype. MapTool is in the process of implementing a deck / hand set of features that'll make this even...

    Forced movement abilities

    Perhaps house ruling here - but what if a failure on one of those "save or fall" would provide the player an opportunity to drop a significant chunk of their hp to avoid the fall. Essentially... we're assuming that when a player is trying avoid being pushed around on a flat plain battlefield...
