Alright, so we have goblins and we think: Yeah, those guys are nasty little buggers. Now, what could make them nastier... The obvious way would be to use traps. Now I enjoy fire, and that being said, I believe most goblins would also enjoy burning their enemies to smithereens, thus the idea...

I like the first zombie, although the second one seems terribly weak. Following the limited damage table, I'd make his breath recharge :5: :6: , and give it either 3d6 damage, or 2d6 + ongoing 5. PCs are tough, they can take it. An easy way to build the beast would be to reflavor de Fire...

I say don't build him as a PC. You can do anything if you stay away from that part of the 3e mentality. Don't forget to find him a decent motivation. No villain would be quite perfect without one. For the triple doppleganger idea, it works but be careful about your balance. If you make one...

Making him "that" powerful might be a little too much. I'd suggest a Elite Controller/leader, using a power similar to the pit-fiend's minion bomb. I mean, when a guy can just tell one of his men to blow himself up, it's a sign of power. I'd say make it 3d10+6, burst 1 around the minion, target...

Actually, you can't use your magical items all that often. The number of magical item special abilities you can use in a day is 1 for heroic, 2 for paragon and 3 for epic. So even if I had seven billion items with a /day power, I could only use 1-3, depending on the tier. Milestones basically...

Well, I'm actually running a DnD 4E modern game, with little to no houseruling (armor shows up as clothing, ranged weapons may be guns, although my players prefered mystical bows and such, all magical items are now pins that take up a slot "I'll just pin this thing to my shoe and TADDA! I walk...

Well, you would completely kill off the balance of the game, AND take away most of what makes tactical combat fun and exciting for many. You'd also kill off most non-spell casters, unless you rebalance the monster manual completely. As far as non-weapon proficiency-style stuff goes, that's...

Well, if you would consider a bastard sword something like a katana, there is such a thing as wielding dual katanas in some martial art ( I'm thinking of gum do (I think it's written that way) that as one or two dual-sword forms). It actually depends more on the fighting style and thew weapon's...

Well, considering the huge amount of high level at-wills that would be Oh so terribly abusable. Edit for irony.

That brings back memories... The players enter this strange mansion coming out of a gigantic canyon out of which purple smoke emanates. Inside, you have 5 NPCs. 4 kids, obviously all brothers and sisters, who always talk in sync. It's been done, but it's funky. The other NPC is a "human" male...

They don't limit roleplay. Roleplay is almost completely independant from the system used. It's all up to the DM, in the end. What 4E does do is that it gives us more time to do whatever it is we want to do by making us roll about 10 million less rolls every game. For your example, the guard...

So back in the days, we had CODzilla, Batman... yeah... One of my players and myself started extrapolating on the new nicknames of every classes! Here I go, feel free to add anything. The Cleric Nickname: Magical girl (Also Sakura, Sailor Moon) Justification: Alright, think about the...

That's not nice! I love Death Cab! In fact, I'm listening to Transatlantism right now! *fights against all who say Death Cab is emo. It's nostalgic indie/dream pop!* [/indie music snob] In other news, I love colors in general, color codes are good!

Why thank you ^_^

Alright, so I ran the adventure yesterday with four players. So we have those guys (no, not those, those, over there!) Player 1 -The guy who played a bit of star wars Saga and half an improvised DnD game. He played Corrin. Player 2 -A player I've been playing with since high school, who...

Encumbrance I doubt encumbrance[or however it's spelled] we'll work that way. In any case, we do know that running isn't (speed)X4 [or 3, or whatever number it could be if you just happen to be a cheetah]

Thanks a bunch! Now... to eat some PCs...

Hey folks, just wondered if someone could link me that homemade rogue that was made on the forums not to long ago. I'm planning on a playtest and I'd like to have, can't seem to find it, sadly.

I have no idea if that's been posted yet, but hey, nothing to lose. The song is genius! http://www.myspace.com/unclemonsterface

I thank The Rouse for the swift answer. If it wasn't for the game, I'd be even more lost than I am today. Gary Gygax, you made the last 9 years more bareable for me, and wherever it is you're going, thank you. I think this dedication is the least WOTC and the gaming community can do to honor...
