The reroll ability is a nice ability for a PC, but on an NPC it takes up time and space that could be better spent on interesting, active powers.

Or Owa'tana'siam :P

What would you call them? I find Wizards' names unimpressive. But I find the alternatives people suggest even worse.

He had a baby and made a New Year's Resolution not to post for at least a year.

Why not make Even the Odds a basic melee attack with that added benefit?

Points of Light. When you're not paying proper attention, your brain plays strange tricks on you.

Interestingly, some of the first monsters I brainstormed for 4e were the ferocious, sentient apes of a mysterious island. But whereas yours are very low level, mine were designed for the final adventure at the paragon tier, complete with enormous Ape King (solo 21), Ape Shamans (orangutangs) and...

People that think Eberron isn't POI often forget about the map scale. If you compare the Faerun scale to the Khorvaire scale you realise Khorvaire is about the size of Faerun. When I realised that, Eberron's points of light suddenly looked much farther apart. Khorvaire Faerun

Particularly after hearing malcolm's reasoning, I like the idea of half-orcs getting a bonus to Wisdom. The archetype of the 'noble savage' is a common one in fiction, and I think it's perfectly suitable for stubborn, world-wise half-orcs to be wiser than the typical human.

That's interesting - my planned campaigns typically also have dragonborn enslaved by tieflings. And eladrin are either overlords of the elves, or the elven nobles that abandoned their kindred hundreds of years ago and still believe they have a right to rule the elves.

I like it! Do the shackles make the person they clamp onto 'slowed'?

I assume it's the names of the paragon paths - perhaps he scooped their next Design and Development Article. EDIT: I too was scooped!

It's an Elite 26. I assume the demon lords will be solos. I think over twice as powerful as a pit fiend is sufficiently powerful.

I worry that Pathfinder is trying to be something its not. Instead of focusing on 3.5's strengths (e.g. skill points, non-combat material, daily resource management) it seems to focus on 4e's strengths (no skill points, non-combat material silo'ed or RP based, action resource management)...

Why? A frail wizard won't be able to take full advantage of a barbarian's powers, so if they suit his/her player's character why not let him/her have them?

Go straight to the source. This is the RPG Tweet is basing his campaign off.

First post: "Despite our efforts, a manuscript was not forthcoming."

Other publishing companies, like Necromancer Games, are currently doing much the same thing Krust is - statting stuff up for practice, playing around with the numbers, planning. Some work will have to be redone but 4E is much closer to 3E than 3E was to 2E

Actually, you were the first person on this thread to use the term controller to refer to the warlord. But I agree that you can discuss the warlord's powers without using 4E specific terminology. After all, new players to the game aren't going to know a leader from a controller either - and yet...

I like having one armor per AC bonus, or thereabouts. It means armor proficiency can be easily balanced. Plus, why would would wizards (controllers) wear heavier armor than rogues (strikers)? I believe they've gotten rid of bucklers and tower shields (I could be mistaken) so that'd be a step in...
