The thing is, the RPG market is very prone to segmentation. Paizo has picked its segmented, and they are loyal and very happy with the product they get. I don't like Pathfinder as a system, but part of me wishes I did because it IS a good product with high level of detail and support. If they...

I think something that is very much missing from both 3E and 4E D&D is morale checks. At some point most monsters would simply surrender; it would only be logical. I am sure plenty of DMs run their games with that assumption but it should have been a core assumption in the first place. If...

Btw something I consider extremely awesome: Epic rogue feat that allows you to pick a second Rogue Tactics option.

All beast types get a heroic level feat that allows them to act within 10 squares of the ranger when he is unconcious and augments some of their attacks (charge or melee basic, some interesting controllerish effects). And grouped in two they also gain paragon feats (for instance wolves and bears...

Would anyone want them too? In order to manage that level of print runs and marketing they would need a rather sizable influx of capital which would bind them to those same externalities that force Wizard's hand to take quite a few of the very unpopular decisions they have been forced to take...

I actually have gun wielding civilizations in my campaign setting; my players are just nowhere near where they live right now, so I did not bother to make rules for them.

I was wondering, could we create a gunblade? Like the one in FFVIII? I loved that weapon.

It's called FR. The spellplague changed the rules in the world:) You can play through that.

Great example. I cannot remember btw, in 3E he would have been able to complete the jump in the following round and would essentially be in the air, Giant In the Playground Games does it work this way in 4E or does he have to land within his movement speed.

I have been considering a house rule item for "Advanced" races including large ones, where picking such a race would automatically require you to take the hybrid racial class for that race. You could then add several powers that play on the race's strengths as well as a class feature (but I'd...

So it is a bit like d20 Modern way of handling money?

I've houseruled all races to work like changelings. They have one standard attribute bonus and get to choose between two attributes for the second bonus.

Weak:(

4E has certainly surpassed former editions in one field; rules updates. They are frequent, the designers have an ear to the community to eliminate imbalance or make underused content up to standards. Yet anyone would admit that there are changes that would make the system better but cannot be...

The big thing in MP2 imo is how much more fluid all martial classes get in picking up class features and how awesome the combat styles are as a concept (P.S. gief something similar for all power sources).

rpgnet has a 20page topic on MP2.

I like them all!

Depends entirely with who you are playing with. Developing house rules alongside your team who have some experience with RPGs over the course of the campaign is more than fine. Calling people who have only played D&D a few times and handing them small books of house rules is not. If ever they...

The core books will not really give you much tbh. If you are interested in old lore, then the faerie plane has a lot of history in Faerun, with most elves originating from there and the lythari still do so. In pre 4E Faerun the denizens of Faerie worshipped the Court, so Titania and Oberon and...

Oh yeah ofc. Personally my rule of thump is, paragon minions deserve 2/3 of their XP and epic ones half. Thus we have 4 minions to a normal on heroic, 6 on paragon, 8 on epic. It only works though because I sacrifice some for drama; MM2 minions are well designed and can be very dangerous in...
