Great maps! I love the perspective.

Spell Specialization - The wizard can choose to specialize in a damage dealing spell. Damage dice are raised to the next higher die type. Spell Brutalization - The wizard can choose to specialize in a damage dealing spell. That spell is now brutal 1. So far the first one has played very well...

We discussed in our group too and decided against. If shoe was one the other foot, they would not like the DM's hobgoblins stealing the Players thunder with a house rule.

Wow, the guy is simply asking for a list of new feats, not wholesale reproduction of said feats, and everybody jumps his ass. I do not know what post you are referring to, otherwise I would point you in the right direction. epochrpg, what a load of detritus. Two sites where taken down because...

Buy all of them.

Not yet. Have patience.

I can feel the nerd rage within you. Now let it out!! Use it to strike your enemies down, then your transformation to the dark nerd will be complete! Together, you and I will rule!

Why complicate an elegantly simple thing? Monster creation is a no-brainer. Just give em what you want. If you want guidelines, look at other monsters and templates. Hell, look to player powers for inspiration if you want. If you want keywords, put them on!

I hope you the best in your in devour!! That sounds exciting. Can you keep it posted how it goes, your experiences? I would be interested since nobody to my knowledge has tried to DM this way. I had a fantasy about it one time, but their where a lot of other things I could do in my spare...

Yes, its an encounter save ability. I had a power where they got to save every time they took damage, and that got wonky. Yes, it could be considered that way. At the same time, they are going to go down quick, and if they have an opportunity to hit, IMO, they should have a better than...

If you want a Grittier campaign, just raise the damage your monsters do, and increase their hit potential. Remember, Some characters at first level with a daily can do 6d6+stat bonus as damage. I made an assassin NPC for my campaign. One of his rechargeable powers I gave him was despicable...

Here is one of the leader aura's that monsters can have in my campaign: Leader Aura aura 10; Any minion in the aura gains an (encounter) save versus damage. Also, as long as the leader is alive, all minions in aura get +4 to hit, +4 to armor class. Depending on how good the leader is changes...

There really is no sense in creating a 'Grognard' class. First, it is not Canon. So it is BLASPHEMY!! Second it trounces on the gamist nature of 4e by bringing a clearly simulationist class back into it. If I wanted that I would just play an older edition without the addition of a...

From a selfish DM perspective, I do not like that. When we played that way, your Big Bad solo (Even with +5 to saves) suddenly goes down right away. Putting the shoe on the other foot, the characters would not like that much either. So now we have limited it to that method on a critical with...

Hmm, Nver thought of it that way. Also then allay can push, pull, slide you out and give you immediate save.

.......So your position is 4e is the best version their is and all the other versions are kindling? Or is three.x, two.0, 1.3,1.2,1.1, BECMI, Moldvay/Cook, Holmes, OD&DwS, or OD&D the best version??

Last one I did in about 20 minutes was 8 orc minions lvl4 , 3 orc beserkers lvl 5, 3 orc soldiers lvl 4, and an orc shaman lvl 4. Most party members are between 3rd-5th, with 7 characters. Only 2 of the party members had a dance with death. Once initiative is established, we roll through it...

I am trying to buff other powers. I let the wizard take a feat to bring his MM damage up to 2d6 Int, we have experimented with sleep going to unconscious right away (save ends). I do not like that solution to sleep either. One thing we have got rid of is spell books. The extra daily and...

I keep minions as-is. If an ally with the leader tag is near it, the minions automatically get to save versus death on each hit or damage. They take the leader out, that goes away.

Its fine the way it is. Make sleep better.
