    D&D 4E Homebrew RPG (4e based): Heroes of Legend

    Ok, I did version 1.2 and made a few changes based on some observations and caml's advice (thanks caml). I have updated my answers to his questions, and edited them to reflect changes in version 1.2. I love supers. I don't truly think that the encounter/daily part of 4e lends itself well to a...

    Help me reduce the No. of rounds/encounter

    maybe once a monster is bloodied if it takes damage equal to or higher than it's con score it dies, or maybe monsters could gain a condition when bloodied, like -2 attacks and defenses (to reflect the pain) or similar

    D&D 4E Homebrew RPG (4e based): Heroes of Legend

    After looking around the fan creation threads it looks like I'm not the only one to try something like this, a super-hero type off shoot of 4e. So to save you some time Heroes of Legend is similar to 4e but simpler. The game is also easy to modify, so making house rules (or incorporating old...

    D&D 4E Homebrew RPG (4e based): Heroes of Legend

    This is a super-power themed game that uses 4e mechanics to make a simpler, classless, more fast paced, and easier to pick up game. No RPG is perfect, but so many of the good ones feel too limiting or too complicated or both. Heroes of Legend is my attempt to make an alternative that bridges...

    I don't understand why this would be impossible, aren't inspiring word and healing word minor actions? I know potions are

    Monster Template (Word)

    I made one of these myself, no heading though, yours looks better. I made at wills green, encounters red, recharges orange, immediates violet and anything I just need to remember (like auras) I made blue. I just wish there was a way to get the symbols in front of the attacks.

    Solo Gaming

    I recently started a 1 on 1 campaign as the player, but I've been DMing another group for awhile. Here's what I've learned I'm playing a fey warlock multiclass rogue in the 1 on 1 and doing fine. I had to give him a 14 str so I could hit with melee attacks, which meant I couldn't have an 18...

    D&D 4E Any tips for speeding up the game? 4e is slowing me down!

    Also, this is just my thing but it might help you. I made a little word sheet to help me track combat. it's just a table where i write in the combatants in the order of initiative and columns of boxes next to it labeled 1 - 15 for rounds. at each combatants turn i make a mark to indicate they...

    D&D 4E Any tips for speeding up the game? 4e is slowing me down!

    I think all your problems have been dealt with by at least one person on here... except for one, marking. If you don't like it and find it hard to track (like me) then just don't use monsters that mark. Either pick ones that don't or switch out their marking power for another one from a...

    Swordmage and Genesai

    Thankyou sire, your a scholar and a gentleman. You'll understand if I don't name my firstborn after you, but I can at least give him your initials... Finneus Edward or Ferrigan Eckly

    Swordmage and Genesai

    I remember seeing on the WotC website a few weeks ago a preview of the swordmage and genesai. For some stupid reason I didn't download it, figuring I'd wait for the books to come out. But now I'm starting a campaign in my local nerd shop in a week and I'd like to get those previews so the...

    Beware this dire warning. Ignore it at your peril!

    I think if I were your DM, at least after a few boring rounds, I would have said the purple worm ate a few kobolds earlier and made a little mini battle inside its stomach so you could have something to do. Or hell, even an impromptu skill challenge would have been cool, if you could find an...

    GSL and SRD questions

    After reading the GSL and SRD I have some questions. I’ve been away from EnWorld for awhile so forgive me if these have already been asked/answered. To quote: Adding Original Material Per Section 4.1 of the GSL, you can add functions to 4E References as long as, in doing so, you don’t...

    DM Knowledge, Critter Cleverness, and Napoleon

    I don't think anyone mentioned this but in the PHB or DMG ( I don't have them in front of me so I can't site which book or page but it is in there) it says that foes are aware of powers that affect them, so when a paladin challenges them they understand that if the don't attack the paladin they...

    Eldritch Blast + Fox's Cunning?

    You'r right, but you could use an action point to get an attack right after unbalancing parry... or you can't cuz it's not technically your turn. oh well, just have to wait till next round to face-melt the dude And what does it have to do with it? I don't know, just a similar power type...

    Eldritch Blast + Fox's Cunning?

    How about this: I made a Ranger multiclass Rogue who is level 2. I took the two weapon build. My tactic is to use "unbalancing parry" to gain combat advantage then attack using "evasive strike" and add my sneak attack damage and Hunter's Quarry damage for a single, face-melting blow...

    D&D 4E Push the Envelope: Use 4e to make the broadest range of archetypes!

    I made a warlord multiclass wizard also, mostly because my party is three people and we had a defender and striker so we needed some healing and controller damage dealing. I went with Half Elf though so I could get scorching burst twice per encounter (once for multiclass, and once for...

    Stealth in combat. Evidence and advice.

    When I DM I put the burden of logic on these situations. Does a person popping in and out from behind cover get combat advantage? Cover is it's own bonus, CA is derived from not being aware of the attacker... once he's attacked your aware of him until you lose track of him again. Since in the...
