Where is this in the DMG? Can not find it and it would be insane not to have it in there. I assume it would have what starting money and weapons they would have, etc. Thanks, Ken

Having played around a bit, I think thunderwave is my favorite wizard at-will. See ya, Ken

Right, this ia an issue. Twin strike is simply better in every way. Careful strike needs something which makes it a reasonable option IMO. See ya, Ken

Did you mean better? I could not find a way that careful strike was better except for rare (very rare) circumstances.

What about this minor alteration. Careful Stirke, Str or Dex mod + 2. (as listed). Careful strike criticals on a 18-20 naturally instead of a nautral 20. Sound good? Thanks, Ken P.S. please do not move this into homebrew hell just yet, I would like to discuss existing mechanics, math and...

For an average AC of a monets with assumed max stat (18), what bonus to hit would careful strike require to equal or surpass twin strike in chance to do damage/average damage?

For a pretty specific reason. Sleeping characters die very quickly with auto-death coup's. Having had it happen before it sucks totally. That said I think it should be much more intese then listed. Like double all damage from the strike or some such. See ya, Ken

My experience is force anyone to play something and it always turns out bad. I'll find it interesting if we get no responses from people who have actually PLAYED a wizard. I'd particually love a story about a good or bad experience you've had playing one or a DM who has seen something happen...

Ok so everyone in my group is building up characters and while someone was once excited about being a Wizard, once he got the books and saw fireball, fly and levitate invisibilty and a host of other spells, he felt they were too heavily nerfed to play. Everyone (my players) else tends to say...

There are actually a number of minions I have seen thus far which do extra damage on a critical. HOWEVER, they specifically list they do. Do you really want your popcorn guy to take down a player with a critical? See ya, Ken

Been playing 4th a while. Finally had a long session spanning two days and found that indeed even people who thought they would not like it loved the game. One mentioned he had thought it would suck because the stuff he had saw made him feel "everyone one is the same". Then he played it...

I have a 1 to 100 table I got long ago which I will adjust to the new system. I estimate the total worth over each level be averaged out to about a single magic item of the character's level.

Eccentric was a last minute addition as the old version was not useful in 4th. I was trying to mean impliments. I think I'll just drop it though. Lucky's power is very useful in my game as un-intelligent creatures often randomly attack by die roll. think double would be too much? tough call...

These have been converted from my old campaign. Any response as to peoples opinion of their power rating, I'm happy to hear it. Use a 1-5 scale please, with 5 being too powerful, 4 being strong but not too powerful, 3 being perfect, 2 being not great, but useful on occasion, and 1 being near...

OK for future readers who read this, yes I meant mechancially, not flavorwise or overall. See ya, Ken

It is interesting that after so many votes half-elves are still far and away voted weak most often. I've found a solution for my homebrew campaign but in my world everyone gets a regional boon based on their location (such as a free language and a bonus to a skill most commonly). Otherwise I...

I think discounting stats is an issue but con is the least useful for most feats. Str and Dex and Int are the big feat stats.

I ran a 11 encounter, 20 hour game a week or two ago (over two days). The halfling used their reroll ability in every combat encounter and 6 of the time turned a critical into a miss. 2 of the other times he turned a hit into a miss. It is an AWESOME ability. Just awesome. By itself, the...

A problem with half-elves is I have been playtesting the snot out of them and I can say the +2 floating stat and +2 Chr is too strong and over shadows humans. I also had given them hybrid synergy which allows them to recharge an encounter power with an action point (only encounter powers gained...
