I'd say yes, they probably should get some minor benefit, as well. As for what that is? Well, from the looks of what you've done before, you want to avoid altering base stats, right? So +X to skills is probably out. For a similar effect, you can do situational re-rolls. For instance, a Docker...

I was trying to word my response, then got distracted. Sorry. I greatly prefer the newer format (and I must say, like Falkus, the power flavour text has been a great help for running the game). There are definitely some lessons to take from the old format, however. Particularly, I'd say that a...

Nice! I personally gave a summary of what they heardduring the speech, as I dislike monologuing excessively, but this is great for those that like to do so. I'd point out one thing, when you say how Danorans are considered to be cursed and unnatural. If you're referring to the dead magic area...

Ha! Glad I could help, then. Speaking of the revised versions (which I'm downloading now, as I just realized they exist), is there a place that shows what changed? Or that will announce when a revised version comes out? (I have them through RPGNow.)

Ah, I see. I had figured that was just a guideline, since many adventues include statements of what level it should bring the group to. (It might have been more clear to include, at the end of the adventure, a statement along the lines of "The group should be level 2 now.") I assume some future...

So, I'm looking through the Island at the Axis of the World (4e version), and I notice that, while enemies have XP listed for them, there are no XP listings from other sources, the most obvious of which seems to be skill challenges. Are skill challenge XP and non-combat or quest-based XP not...

Yeah, that's what I'm seeing, too. The halfling's abilities, for instance, are geared towards the rogue/striker role (though useful still for all). If they were better than other races in compensation, they would be too powerful. From what I've seen, they are not too powerful, so this can't...

True about Dwarves. Not so much for Wizards, but the three strikers for sure (though Warlocks do a lot of teleporting). Good point. As for the "second and third best racial abilities", however, I'm not really concerned about halflings. It's every other small race that is concerning me. If I...

Yes, but the issue is not with halflings. It's with every small race besides halflings. Gnomes, for instance, are 3'4"-3'8", as opposed to halflings' 3'10"-4'2". It's not a problem with any particular race.

And to some people Dwarves not being able to cast arcane spells was a feature in 2e, rather than a bug. Does that mean that because a percentage of the audience opts for less choice, we should limit that choice? They can always choose to not play that option.

Actually, that's not what I'm looking for at all. I'm not looking for additional superior weapons, but rather decent military weapons that are not scimitars. And/or a reason that small characters are limited without compensation. It's a good list, but it doesn't answer my concerns at all.

Good points, theNater, especially for the archery ranger. Point accepted. The elf and eladrin beat the halfling, which is fine, but the halfling is quite good at the archery side. Not all small races will have a +2 to dex, however. They are at the same point as the other races, but with a...

Oh, geez. Sorry, misread your post before.

You can resize armour with the Enchant Magic Item ritual. Not weapons. Thank you for that quote. Name one other race that actively gets a penalty to 4 classes. Let's say the Dwarf got a -2 on all attack rolls with arcane spells, because the designers decided they weren't good with magic...

First, no, it's not called a rapier. A rapier is a light blade, this is heavy. If a +3/1d8 heavy blade is a superior weapon, then a longsword should be a superior weapon, versatile or not. It is not, hence "it's a rapier" is an invalid argument. For your other response, no, they really don't...

So small characters in 4e can't use two-handed weapons, and can only use versatile one-handed weapons two-handed, gaining no additional benefit from it. So I have a couple questions. 1) Does a versatile weapon (say, warhammer) wielded two-handed qualify for the two-handed weapon Fighter bonus...

It is, effectively, an encounter power. They can ignore it at the start of the encounter, but as soon as they attack it's gone. Compare to an Eladrin using Fey Step to position themselves in a battle. - The Aghar ability allows you to move further. - The Eladrin ability allows you to move in...

Actually, it's a mixture of Common and whoever else lives near them, be it Dwarven, Elven, Goblin, whatever. Two groups of Gully Dwarves don't speak the same Gullytalk, and bringing two separate dialects together will result in the languages merging and evolving into something completely...

Alright. My first 4e game is going to be run by my fiancee. I've been the de facto GM for our group for a few years, so this is the first time in a while that I'll get to play a character. This also may be the last time I will be able to for some time, as I don't know how often she will want...
