    Sagiro's Story Hour: The FINAL Adventures of Abernathy's Company (FINISHED 7/3/14)

    Not playing in this awesome campaign? :.-( But yay, 1 out of 6 isn't bad :). Tapheon has forgotten all about his encounter with Dranko.

    Sagiro's Story Hour: The FINAL Adventures of Abernathy's Company (FINISHED 7/3/14)

    Let's take another look at Leantha's book. Now back to the Croaking Oracle's riddle: Very interesting! It seems like Corilayna got killed or sacrificed herself for some purpose. Leantha's book also has the holy symbol of Laramon. Maybe that is related? The only shell I remember from this...

    Sagiro's Story Hour: The FINAL Adventures of Abernathy's Company (FINISHED 7/3/14)

    Hmm, when dealing with the Seki, did anyone try to get all of them low and then finish them off all at once with an AOE spell? Would that have worked? Thanks for the update! :)

    E6: Retraining levels?

    I've been messing around with the system, and was thinking of giving each class some bonus abilities as their 11th, 21st, and 31st "epic" (past lvl 6) feats. I haven't pinned down exactly what these would be, but I was thinking fro single-classed characters, they could cover some parts (but...

    Sagiro's Story Hour: The FINAL Adventures of Abernathy's Company (FINISHED 7/3/14)

    That would have been... amusing. The party decides to jump into the one-way portal too hastily. Sagiro's brain turns to overdrive to figure out how to salvage the situation so a ~14-year campaign doesn't end with an inevitable TPK :).

    Sagiro's Story Hour: The FINAL Adventures of Abernathy's Company (FINISHED 7/3/14)

    Hah, I thought that might have been the case :). It was worth a try. Maybe the story of that alternate "reality" would have to be written by the fan fiction groups :P. Thanks for the updates! It's an amazing story.

    Sagiro's Story Hour: The FINAL Adventures of Abernathy's Company (FINISHED 7/3/14)

    I'm rereading the story, and was wondering what would have happened if the group decided to stop the Stormknights from killing the Ventifact Colossus. I seem to remember from past comments that maybe the Sharshun's attempt to rewrite history would have been stopped, and instead Naradawk would...

    The Monk isn't MAD... he's ENRAGED!!!!

    Empath Negative, I hate to say this, but I'm having a hard time telling whether you're being serious or if you're trolling. Some of the arguments you've made have been ridiculous, like having the Monk climb up a Rope Trick rope right after the Wizard does before he can pull the rope up, while...

    The Monk isn't MAD... he's ENRAGED!!!!

    This is a pretty bad scenario because most classes would be in trouble in the Wizard's position, and most classes would get the job done in the Monk's position. An 8th level Wizard can easily kill a sleeping character (Scry then Dimension Door in with a summoned monster for the CDG, for...

    [playtest 2] Distressed by rogue damage

    I'm pretty sure based on the way advantage and disadvantage cancel out, all you need to do to stop a Rogue from getting Sneak Attack damage is to stick him with at least one source of disadvantage and keep it on him. That makes it impossible for him to ever get advantage unless he can remove...

    Non Advantage/Disadvantage bonus and penalties

    It doesn't matter how many of each you have. If you have at least one source of advantage and at least one source of disadvantage, you get just a normal roll. It doesn't matter if you have 10000 sources of advantage and 1 source of disadvantage: they cancel completely. So if everything that...

    Non Advantage/Disadvantage bonus and penalties

    The problem with using advantage and disadvantage exclusively is eventually there will be so many sources of both that someone will almost always have both advantage and disadvantage. That means any additional sources of advantage/disadvantage become useless.

    Power Points for powers - solves a lot of issues

    First, let's take a look at the number of powers used issue. Let's suppose we have a level 30 character with a 30 in his primary stat (Demigod required). Normally, this character would have 4 dailies, 4 encounters, and 7 utility powers, most of which are dailies. We can assume he'd use all 4...

    Power Points for powers - solves a lot of issues

    I have a feeling this is going to really punish the non-Strength melee characters and the non-Dexterity ranged characters. Those guys won't even have basic attacks to fall back on when they run out of power points. The way 4E math works is if you don't improve the ability at every level up...

    Most overpowered / underpowered ?

    Why do people say TWF Rangers have lower damage than Archer Rangers? A Stormwarden with Scimitar Dance has one of the highest DPR outputs in the game.

Prereq: Ranger, Armor Splinter power, Blade Cascade power Benefit: After using the Armor Splinter power, you may immediately take a free action to use the Blade Cascade power, provided the...

    Power Points for powers - solves a lot of issues

    Not quite... So the Cleric can just rest one extra time and lose 2 PPs. Only two dailies are needed to heal everyone to pretty much full: Consecrated Ground and Mass Cure Light Wounds. In return, no one needs to use healing surges to heal during downtime. This only happens if the party has a...

    Power Points for powers - solves a lot of issues

    I tried working on a mana point/power point system, and came across some problems. Check out this thread for the list. Basically, if you want a mana point system in 4E without significant problems, you have to be prepared to rewrite several (overpowered) powers, make it easier for elites/solos...

    How to make int not a dump stat?

    Pick a number of skills equal to your int mod. You receive a +1 bonus to checks made with those skills. You can't pick the same skill more than once. (max int is +10, so +1 to 10 different skills) Pick extra languages equal to half your int mod.

    Mana Point System - What Has To Change and How?

    This could work, and actually works very well for the PHB epic destinies since a lot of them recover power. Still, there are more balanced epic destiny utility powers which would be fine if used multiple times. Although looking over them, some are really strong. This could be a good idea. It...
