I didn't read what you wrote, but I have a recommendation on your number 4. Have them look at the Epic Destinies and choose a connection to one. Maybe the Fighter was trained by an Undying Warrior. Maybe the Cleric is a follower of a recent Demigod. Stuff like this. Or maybe they're even working...

A Drizzt movie probably has the best chance of succeeding. They wouldn't need to call it D&D at all. I had a student reading the novels a couple of years ago. I told him that they were D&D and he was completely surprised. It's a brand that's out there that a lot of people love. Personally, I...

5 Spiffy Points per session. My players don't really abuse the system. The goal is to have fun and tell a story. Like any movie fight, they intersperse hits with misses. When they run out of rolls, the make a new set of 10. What do they do if they have a bunch of crappy rolls? Try to get...

I'm DMing an Eberron game for 2 friends. One character is a Changeling Bard. The other is a Valenar Elf Ranger. They started at level 4. They're now level 7. They level up every 2 sessions. Combat is a secondary thing that I only use for them when it would have a point for the story. I knew...

Yeah, I know. I was just looking to see what else people came up with. There was a lot of stuff on Dragonmarks in 3.5, and the 4th edition stuff is incredibly limited. I figured that people would have made a few different things by this point. Maybe I was wrong.

That's a good point. I'll have him look at the Spellscarred stuff. Thanks.

I have a player who just developed a Dragonmark. I was wondering what other ideas people have had for Dragonmarks, especially for different Aberrant powers. Really, I'm looking for anything that is Dragonmarked that you have. Be it feats, items, Paragon Paths, whatever. While I only need a feat...

Great. Thanks.

I may have missed it, but does anyone know what's going on with the Siberys version of Dragonmarks for 4th edition?

Roughly 6 years before I started playing D&D, I was reading the Salvatore novels. Jordan and Goodkind have also been fairly major. I've read a bit of Lackey and Keyes. The Hobbit was good, but the actual trilogy bored me to the point that I stopped halfway through the second book. I read the...

Have them give you an idea for a theme. Then, choose powers for them and don't let them know what they are. When they attack something, have them tell you what they do. Based on their description, choose the power that makes the most sense. Everything is still intact, but they don't need to...

I like the idea. I don't know that I would just want them to add a +1. New abilities or bonuses would be cool, though. I would probably use the base magical stats for them, but they have names and add powers as time goes on. True, it's not really different than just upgrading items, but you...

We allow just about anything. I think some 3rd party stuff is allowed, too. I love Dragon. Does it have as much time to get checked out? No. Does that necessarily mean that it's broken? No. I could theoretically create a power right now that is perfectly balanced. Will I always be able to do...

I think that it's called the Arcane Hunter. It's a preview for Arcane Power. It was previewed just a few days ago.

The question came into my mind when I looked at the new Paragon Path for Swordmages previewed on DDI. One of the abilities allows you to do something like 10 typed damage on a miss, or 5 typed ongoing damage of whatever the creature's vulnerability is. This made me wonder if they did this so...

I absolutely agree about the 3e crafting rules. I had a DM (he sucked) who decided that, because the characters were in the Chuult, they could easily make stuff like poisons and magical items. All that they had to do was find the stuff, make the craft checks, and make the stuff. The problem? Do...

It's useful if the enemy was going to attack, then shift/move. Especially things like Kobolds and Goblins with their damn "Shifty" nonsense. This'll stop 'em!

Maybe I missed it, but does something with Vulnerability take extra damage from Ongoing effects? A creature with Vuln 5 Radiant takes 5 Ongoing Radiant damage. Does it take 10 Radiant Damage at the beginning of its turn?

Mournblade, allow me to clarify the Paladin bit. I remember reading last year about someone in a game where a person created a Paladin of the Raven Queen. He then decided that the character would only fight with 2 daggers, and would refuse to heal dying party members. He used this for...

General: 1. One mechanic. If you need 2 decks of playing cards, 6 different kinds of dice, a laptop and a shot glass to play.... um, never mind. Seriously, though. It shouldn't require different things to play. If those are an extra option for certain things, that's fine. I had a Savage Worlds...
