Nice work on the flaws and merits. I'd personally not allow the ones that let you pin your defenses to a different stat, but it does help to eliminate the one low defense issue that can arise at higher levels. I still think it could be abused, but if it works for your game, great! Some of...

For item dailies, I allow the use of 1/2/3 daily item powers per encounter for heroic/ paragon/ epic tiers respectively. Each item can still only be used once per day. That change went a long way to encourage people to use their daily power items, which previously they had been hoarding...

These are very nice, thanks for the link. I certainly want to do something to encourage players to think beyond the power cards, and do interesting things. There are some good ideas here.

Thanks for the feedback, I appreciate it. The comment was not a player in my game, but I agree that a portrait would be nice to have on the sheet, ideally on the first page, as that is the page that describes the character and what he can do. As for page 2, it's the combat page, so not the...

D&D armor is quite a bit heavier than real world counterparts as well. The only plate that was *that* heavy would be intended for jousting and designed for maximum protection rather than mobility. Stuff worn in actual battles was lighter and more flexible. The other armor types are also too...

Thanks for the compliments. I've spent a lot of time putting this together. I had made a portrait frame and was really hoping to fit it in, but given the other stuff I wanted to include, it didn't work out. The sheet is still under development, so maybe I can make room later. Once I try...

I am now inspired to have a BBEG shout, "Get them, my minions!". That'd be epic. Minions can work in a lot of ways and increase the fun, however they are used. I tend to use some clues in the description that suggest they might be minions, but don't tell the players "They're minions". But...

Hmm, I like it. Thanks for the suggestion!

Landscape 4E Character sheet in color. PDF form with calculated fields We introduced a new player to the group recently, and I noticed how much trouble she had finding things on the official character sheet printed out by the Character Builder. All the boxes look the same and kind of blend...

Also: Aspect Examples What I need to determine is what advantages to allow aspects and fate points to grant. Compelling them seems a little easier to adjudicate.

You both made some good points there. Doing something like this would definitely mess around with a number of existing rules. Thanks for the responses. At this stage I think I may do something different, such as introducing aspects and fate points. I'd like to make combats more...

Great ideas! For my game, I am pleased with the banning of Expertise and Paragon Defenses, and giving the characters +1 to attack at levels 5/15/25, along with +1 to NADs at the same levels. I call it the "Math Expertise" feat, and everyone gets it for free. On top of that, I let them raise 3...

In my D&D game... "...all the interesting people are missing." Friedrich Nietzsche Granted the above quote has been cut so I changed its meaning a bit, but it sums up the issue that is causing me to consider a rules change. The characters in any game are the "interesting people". They are...

Our group has an assault swordmage along with a sword (well, flail actually) and board fighter. Because the Aegis was proving a little tricky to use, and I wanted it to be triggered more, I increased the range to 5 squares. So now the SM can mark a bad guy 5 squares away, then engage a...

Deep beneath the Feydark... ...lies the Darkbad The comic uses some potentially offensive language. You have been warned.

Identical zones don't stack. Different ones do. You could have a zone that slows, and drop a zone that does fire damage on top of it, and both effects would work. Likewise with beneficial zones. Two of the same don't add together, but different ones would each apply their effects. As for...

The only group I've run with a name were called the Elves Out to Save the World, based on a note addressed that way from an NPC. "To all elves out to save the world..." The party was all various types of elves, in AD&D. My current group has adventuring company name envy after running into...

Many laws discriminate against the metabolically-challenged, or differently-lifed. They are not allowed to own property, choose where they will reside, or hold government office. Although there are some municipalities open-minded enough to allow them to participate in elections. :devil: I...

I grant that item powers can be used by players, and thus could be considered to be using a power. Still, the only time you use the power of the standard is when you plant it in the ground. Using the item power "creates a zone of healing energy". It is not a "power that enables you or an ally...

I don't believe that the effects of the Healer's Brooch and the Battle Standard of Healing would stack. The Healer's Brooch effect is triggered when you use a power, and using an item is not the same as using a power. Even if I did allow item powers to count for that purpose, you only use the...
