    I have a problem with monks and halflings

    Just a note, if halfings are stronger pound for pound then humans, and given their fists have a smaller surface area, halflings would actually do more damage with their fists then humans. How does a halfling kill an ogre? Maybe it snaps a kick to it's chest, and collapses it's lung. Maybe it...

    If you're giving the guy with 7 a shot then the guy with 14 is going to find it trivial even before you throw in ability modifiers.

    Does 4e limit the scope of campaigns?

    How fun is playing the fighter in this world? Or the monk, or the ranger, or the barbarian? 3e forces murderers to have magical sophistication and to plan things out, how is that not constraining? Truthfully, detaching alignment from anything mechanical was probably the biggest single...

    Monster vs Monster

    Monsters have a narrower range of options then players which may tilt the balance one way or another. But they should be reasonably balanced.

    My Campaign, Tier by Tier (Feedback?)

    Instead of just having the fortress appear, I was thinking something like this. The PCs sneaking about stumble on the plan to invade the valley. Oh noes! They fight a super soldier, it should either totally kick their ass or it should be very, very hard to kill. The PCs find the edge of a...
