Banmarden nods "We agree, looks like our host is waiting for us."

There are some very good rules for 0 level characters in DDI - Dragon 403 What is the difference between utility coming from class abilities (spells) versus general abilities (rituals) other than they are not the sole providence of the all mighty magic user, cleric or druid? If the ruleset...

Banmarden turns to Mathariel then down at his own wounds "Nothing serious" the Wilden reports. He them moves to the corpses of he wolves and kneels before them, examining them. "The circle is complete for these though, I wonder what drove them to attack" Does Banmarden notice anything strange...

My thoughts on why game balance is important are fairly close to this blog post by Mike Mearls: The Keep on the Gaming Lands: The Issue of Game Balance

Given that Monte was behind Arcana Evolved and Iron Heroes was Mearls' project until he joined WotC, the brand seems to be in good hands.

Diving back through the Legends & Lore Articles, we find this: Dungeons & Dragons Roleplaying Game Official Home Page - Article (Head of the Class)

Can we not bring verisimilitude into this thread, there is another thread dealing with that issue.

Dungeons & Dragons Roleplaying Game Official Home Page - Article (Looking at the Past and the Future) Monte sketches out a couple of the design considerations for D&D Next 1. D&D Next is about the adventure not about the rules 2. Not all players have to have equally complex characters and...

Banmarden looks at the wolves, with a flourish of his staff he brings another bolt of lightening on the most wounded wolf, hoping to bring it down to release pressure on his companions. Standard - Jolt of Lightning against G2 +4 vs Fort, 1d10+4 lightning damage and the target cannot take...

3.x the barbarian counted as exhausted until he had a chance to rest after the fight, so you could have something along those lines if you like? 4e went a slightly different route and the barbarian is channeling his primal nature when he rages. So, much like druids a people are limited in the...

Problem with wanting verisimilitude in rules is that the the concept of verisimilitude in itself is abstract and what is acceptable is different for everybody. Take for example limiting a barbarians rage uses on a daily basis. You may find this lacks "verisimilitude" but what if it was put...

Immediate threats gone, Banmarden shape flows again and he reforms in his natural form a step from where he started. Holding his staff high over his head he brings down lightning on the nearest wolf. Minor - Shapeshift, Shift to BB11 Standard - Jolt of Lightning against G2 +4 vs Fort, 1d10+4...

I like this, I can see Brook working with former adversaries against a bigger threat to civilization. Not that he will be completely happy about this idea mind you, but sacrifices in the cause of the greater good and all that...

The wilden looks at the wolf who has charged him, the wilden growls back at the creature, his features transforming before you. Where Banmarden was now stands a bearlike creature, seemingly made of vines and wood. The bear lashes out at the wolf with its claws. Minor - Shape shift Standard -...

Brook, the runt of his family was left to care for himself at an early age. He was caught stealing from a monastery and as punishment was indentured into service of the monks. Though nominally a servant he proved bright and showed the ability to learn from his surrounds, eventually being...

The Banmarden reacts to Mathariel's call moving closer to the wolves. Raising his staff he calls down a burst of fire, taking to the form of a falcon which darts in an harasses one of the Gray Wolves. Move to AA10 Standard Firehawk, at will power, +4 vs Reflex 1d8+4 damage, on a hit the...

The wilden looks at the Eladrin, tilts his head slightly and smiles, an expression somewhere between curiosity and amusement at the fey's discomfort. "Mathariel and Sindabar it appears you have the same destination as us." Apparently missing the Eladrins sarcasm the plantlike creature...

The Wilden stopped his journey and looked at the approaching strangers giving an air of curiosity tinged with trepidation. The plant creature makes for a curios sight, leaning on a staff, wearing armour made of what appears to be boar hide. What you assume to be its bared skin appears to be...

Expect Ban's background to expand slightly as the character does. Banmarden emerged from the Feywild 2 years ago, a bizarre, lost creature uncertin of its way in the world. Taken in by a druidic circle the wilden learned some of the ways of the natural world. Over the course of 18 months...
