    [Not Suitable For Work] Build a Tiny Race

    Nice work everyone. I'm going to start up Exercise #2 tonight and you will be asked to handle the space and reach of a tiny creature... I'm just working on the particulars of the exercise. Once this is done, we can look at specific attacks/damage types for tinies in week 3 and then there will be...

    [Not Suitable For Work] Build a Tiny Race

    Nice. Fey creatures seem to be the likely choice for a tiny creature and the idea of a gremlin sounds familiar but open to a lot of interpretation. Just so long as your version doesn't live inside printing presses. (shudder)

    [Not Suitable For Work] Build a Tiny Race

    I'd think that wouldn't be needed at all and would just be a common sense thing that flying creature do not attract tremorsense. But if it's not written down anywhere, probably safe to have it there all the same.

    Care to post your powers for us to see? This is a curious design.

    [Not Suitable For Work] Build a Tiny Race

    There's nothing I can find (outside of Ask the Sage or anything similar) indicating tiny creatures cannot provide flank specifically, but it can be equally argued that they cannot for the very reasons you mention. But powers are rulebreakers and that's why we're designing rule breakers in the...

    Combat Advantage 1: Power Knowledge

    No worries. One thing about this type of work is that it is very open to criticism and not everyone is going to like your ideas. And I was on my out to the cottage, so you can never catch me in the bad mood when that happens. ;)

    Combat Advantage 1: Power Knowledge

    BTW, thanks for the feedback on CA1. I just wanted to mention something else before getting packed for the trip and my girlfriend finally puts her foot down. ;) If anyone does have another take, or "fix," on any CA content, send them in and I may even put them in a future edition. The whole...

    Combat Advantage 1: Power Knowledge

    I've heard that a couple of times regarding the 3e-isms this particular edition seems to invoke and it makes sense considering it was drafted very shortly after 4e came out and my brain was still working in 3e mode. In all honesty, the premier edition of CA was designed for one person in...

    [Not Suitable For Work] Build a Tiny Race

    The half crawl is definitely unique, I'll give you that. Could also work as a feat to expand an existing tiny creature too. With falling prone, I'd say if Low Center was done in a way to grant an advantage in the action you actually fall prone (e.g. gain a +2 bonus to AC as an immediate...

    [Not Suitable For Work] Build a Tiny Race

    LMAO Geez, I wasn't sure what you were talking about and did a search. Came up with an old Nintendo game and it had a description where you had a frog with you that sounded like something on your shoulder while you... Wow, way off there. I've got it now. Yeah, something like that. (Note to...

    [Not Suitable For Work] Build a Tiny Race

    Never played that one, but reading up on it could be something like that I guess. Hmm, perhaps that one's avaiable as WiiWare...

    [Not Suitable For Work] Build a Tiny Race

    Huh, so having leader style powers to allow the tiny character to fight alongside his comrades. Interesting. This does follow the 4e party dynamic and includes the tiny character as a fierce adventurer climbing on top of the others and following through with additional attacks. It would also...

    [Not Suitable For Work] Build a Tiny Race

    All good ideas and would be the simplest way to handle it (as I agree with not going 3.5 and drafting up a huge number of weapons). Another idea I was thinking was to have a racial trait granting additional psychic, lightning, or other types of damage as chosen by the player. Similar to...

    [Not Suitable For Work] Build a Tiny Race

    True, but the size of their weapons will limit the amount of damage they can do. If small characters cannot wield two-handed weapons and require two hands for a versatile one, then a tiny character would likely only be able to handle a one-handed weapon with two hands. That limits shields...

    [Not Suitable For Work] Build a Tiny Race

    Ah, now this is something to wake up to on your first day of vacation. ;) malcolm_n: Thanks for the compliments and tell your friends and enemies about us. Sticking with the simplest method is, honestly, one I never thought of. They're small and yeah, their armor will be crazy light. I like...

    [Not Suitable For Work] Build a Tiny Race

    Work is boring. Gaming is fun. Work should be more like gaming. Not Suitable For Work is a new addition to Combat Advantage, the free 4e series of PDFs from Emerald Press PDF Publishing. Every month will have a theme to which any number of brainstorming exercises will be made. Each week or so...

    List of all RPG magazines

    While it didn't start as a zine, Combat Advantage is slowly converting into a monthly free e-zine for 4e. Comes with one complete article providing any type of alternate rules, add-ons, NPCs, classes, and such running anywhere from 6 to 10 pages. Plus our Not Suitable For Work exercises and...

    Agreed. Any kind of stance would suit them.

    I'm not sure why, but I'm thinking the "professor" from Fringe (sorry, but I've never been able to catch the show enough to know his name). He's distant and his mind is always somewhere else that no one's ever been to before, but there's no questioning his intelligence and capabilities. This...
