If the DM wanted to, they could easily rule that falling 6-15 feet caused 1d10 damage, and round normally. The rounding rule really only applies to halves, I think.

Yes. Falling 19 feet causes 1d10 damage, and falling 9 feet does no damage and you land standing.

I do hope that, if something gets built, it eventually scrapes the ratings and reviews from the wotc optimization boards. I don't absolutely need them, but they are quite useful at highlighting how a power might fail because of some wording, or how it might be very necessary in some niche...

I sympathize with you. I was in a similar position at one point, but now have too many games, and might have to drop out of one due to being overcommitted. I got to where I am thanks to those sites. A DM recruited me (and others) via penandpapergames for a local campaign, and that connection...

There are a bunch of websites that help you find gamers. There's a game-finding (or player-finding) subforum here at Enworld, and many publishers forums have a subsection dedicated to finding people to play their games (I know both paizo and wizards of the coast do). But some other websites do...

This is pretty cool. My problem with Realmworks is that it doesn't share the content. Or that's what I gathered.

Overall, I've found epicwords to be slightly more feature-packed than obsidian portal, but it's a consideration that, for me, would be secondary to keeping things on sites I'm already visiting. Assuming this isn't a factor for others, I'm trying to think of EVERYTHING I would want an electronic...

There's a balance to be struck, and it's probably a bit different for each person. I like a lot of info in statblocks, to avoid as much page-flipping as possible. Obviously, there is a limit. I thought the 4e statblocks were a fair balance. Some things could be improved: I don't need to be told...

What Nemesis Destiny said. Don't bother pumping feats into violation punishments much (or at all) either. If you have good marking capacity, and marks don't tend to get violated, then bulk up on defenses, HP and surges. Also, to buff your defenses even further, consider multiclassing to Warlock...

I think this is a healthy discussion to have, although DMs are not always realistic about their gameplay. It's healthy because it's worth exploring what knowledge a marked monster has, since, in many cases, you want the monster to violate the mark (so it misses and is punished), and what the...

I agree with the comments in this thread, but this bears elaborating. If a monster were just faced with a plain mark, this would be the conclusion of a tactical consideration. But in addition to the penalty, the enemy violating the mark also takes damage and heals the target ally. This makes...

Either pen and paper, or EpicWords.com It has xp tracks, loot tracking, room for journals and private forums, quest tracking, even a wiki for npcs and other details.

Technically yes, but many have houseruled to prevent this.

While I agree, I think the bigger point of this thread is that the current numbers pave the way for ever-increasing attack bonuses. I was seriously hoping that attack bonuses would stop at around +10. This is obviously not the case, and I fear a runaway train of bonuses. A single artifact has...

OP's power is certainly good, even great, but isn't overpowered or otherwise game-braking for the level. 3[W] is very modest damage compared to the gain in HP that monsters have since level 1, especially given the premise that most rogues have low damage weapons. The minor action attack is...

I make a new one for every character I make (perhaps a half dozen so far). There aren't that many dependencies in Next, so you only have a few formula to enter. If you're looking something that literally builds the entire character with VLOOKUP formulas, the game is changing too quickly for it...

Thirded! I've come to think that more monsters are better than higher-level monsters, because players can still use their powers effectively. I would also give the monster the ability to "spawn" some minions, just to give the players some extra stuff to swing at. That should soak a trivial...

This is how I would do it. Break the process down to a more modular system. Iron Kingdoms does something like this. It has a long list of abilities and a short one of skills which it then packages into classes, which grant some abilities to start out with, and then allow picking from a pool of...

This makes sense, and you're both right. Bounded accuracy all but eliminates my objection to a level-1-wizard-with-14-levels-of-fighter. Dannyalcatraz's assessment is correct, with respect how dramatically disparate multiclassing is going to be viable within the bounded accuracy of Next. Agreed...
