It would be easier to do as an ability for a Barbarian. As a feat, this is probably what I would do. Well, it's what I would do if I wanted to follow your instructions. Rage- Heroic Tier When Bloodied, you gain a bonus to hit equal to your Dex modifier + 2 and a bonus to damage equal to your Wis...

You had me for a bit there, but then I realized that it couldn't actually do anything. I would recommend giving it a minor bonus based on which animal it is and allowing it to attack by using your minor action. Example: If it's in cat form, you can move, cast a spell, and have it make a basic...

Thanks. The fact that the feat said "Prerequisite: Spellscar" made me pause for a minute. That usually means that there's something specific somewhere else. I just wanted to make sure.

I'm noticing that the Spellscarred stuff requires a Spellscar as a prerequisite. Are there specific Spellscars written out somewhere that I'm missing? I only have the FRPG, not the FRCG. Are they in the FRCG?

I change the amount that I roleplay and the focus based on which game we're playing. When it comes to "craft"-type skills in 4th edition: At the very beginning, I told my players to give me something specifically background related. Is the character the son of a jeweler? Did he grow up on the...

In reference to cperkins' post: I find "simulationist charm" to be a hilarious statement. I shall go off topic for one moment as to why, and this should give doctorhook a rough idea of what I was talking about. The last 3.5 group that I was in seemed to be run by someone who loved the...

Take ideas from the other classes, but not the mechanics. You've skimmed a lot already. You want this to feel new and different, not retooled. Come up with some flavor text and see if people can help you make Powers. Or, conversely, have people put down some powers and then you create the flavor...

I'll have to look at some of these. If my players want them, I'll probably allow them with little fuss. I love the book. It's full of awesome and win.

I love the Genasi. I love the Swordmage. I love using Genasi Swordmages against my players as "boss monsters". I like the Spellscar stuff. The feats have the prereq that the character has a spellscar. Did I miss them, or are they just listed in the FRCS? I didn't get that, but I'm thinking that...

I jump around. It arrived with my copy of the FRPG. They go great together. So much new stuff. I love the Throwing Shield. I'm thinking about that being the "artifact" for the next Genasi enemy I throw at my players. Maybe it'll have a large star on it surrounded by red and blue... The best part...

The whole thing reminds me of Windows "Mojave". For those of you who don't know, look it up. Microsoft decided to rename Vista into Mojave. They then asked people what they thought of Vista and if they would ever buy it. "No! Never. I've heard horrible things about it. It's a bad system." They...

Do you want the entry ways to decide orientation, or do you want every square to do something different? You could have a large room with treasure in the very center. Along the way to the middle, though, most squares that you step into put you in a different part of the room. If monsters know...

Keep going with this. Every time I look at a new class, I find myself wanting to make one. I loved the Incarnum stuff, and this looks like it's a great base. A lot of the abilities seem similar to the Warlock. Not that there's anything wrong with that. What kinds of powers are you looking at...

When it comes to the girl from California: The DM said, "Make a character and get them to this place." The player created a character and then said, "I can't get her to that place." This isn't a case where the DM should have just handwaved the whole thing. The player didn't follow the...

I can say that I've played in games that went the other way. When you're in a group of 6, but only 2 people are willing to roleplay, that tends to suck just as much. It does occur to me that I have played with someone who played her character "too well". We were playing an Underdark campaign...

I use the Forest of Flesh stuff as my current plot. The guy it's about is a "deity" attempting to return to the Material Plane. I've been using most of the other stuff on and off. The Shard of Myrdoon was won in a battle that included a Kobold Wild Mage. The fight was against a Changeling who...

That would be awesome. +1 Lion Loin Cloth of... Remove Disease? The difference between the Fighter and the Barbarian for abilities and direction will probably be control. A Fighter is trained to fight in a certain way and has abilities that are planned. The Barbarian, though, will probably have...

I'll agree that 4th is fun to DM. I only DMed a bit of 3.5, but I knew enough to quickly decide that I hated it. With 4th, though, I DM it like I teach. I know what I want to do and where I want to go, but I let the players direct me. I haven't written down anything for the campaign since the...

Could you post the questions and answers? Some of us can't access the Wizards boards from work. I have prep period for the last class of the day, and I need something fun to do. :)

Why don't you turn it into a family activity? The three of you can sit together and draw things on cards. On one side, you have the picture that she looks at when she holds it up. On the other side, your write the spell and other pertinent information. Draw her character, some colorful effect...
