Taelvosh d'Lyrandar is now posted on the wiki. Wasn't sure about the surname since I've forgotten if it was generally the case that being dragonmarked=part of the main family or not.

Taelvosh d'Lyrandar, Half-Elf (mechanics of human for now) Sorcerer 1 Background: House Lyrandar Dragonmarked agent (built as combo of knight and guide background) Specialty: Investigator Longsword +6 (1d8+3) Flail +6 (1d8+3) Magic attack +6 Save DC 14 HP: 11/11 AC: 17 HD: 1d8/1d8 Str 17(+3)...

I was thinking either an bow fighter with lurker theme, or sorcerer and since it's looking like we could use some more front line I started stating up the sorcerer. If it won't step on toes or conflict with slobster's plans was thinking of reflavoring the powers as effects of a dragonmark (for...

I'm interested in getting in on this, about to head to work so will fill in some more details later tonight. I'm in Central timezone

The open design folks have released the Midgard Bestiary for 4th Edition D&D. I got around to skimming the pdf tonight and already getting some inspiration for things I want to use in a campaign.

I like the intent of the weak spot, though your original idea seemed off. Having a weak spot that allows the player to attack with advantage would result in them being more accurate, but not doing more damage. Personally, I think even if they know where the weak spot is, hitting that spot...

MathewJHanson has posted the first two parts of a trilogy adventure if people are looking for an alternative to the official playtest adventures Part 1: Rats in the Sewer Part 2: Skeletal Society

It's in the text of the description, last sentence before the section heading "Wildfire" Though gideonpepys has good advice to scale up if you need more of a challenge.

I like the concept. However I think the 2 round setup for payoff if 3rd round is a bit much, would like every other round instead.

It's an interesting read, though I want to point out it's not Matt James' blog

I think keeping the current time makes sense, as you say this seems to be a critical time, that changing it a few years can define things a lot depending which direction you decided to take. The suggestion of framing things as a set of different "possible futures" could be a good way to do it...

I think an issue is that older versions were good at making the fighter into a linebacker (my impression, never had experience as a fighter pre-4e). 4e with the defender marks turned them into the tackle, and until the Slayer was released with essentials making the linebacker melee character...

I think having something like 4e's mark makes sense to include, basically representing a person fighting in a way that's more protective of allies. But one thing that lets it work is that it's not a strict algorithim and the DM is free to go after someone else at times that seem to make sense...

Indeed, in fact if you have access to the Dragon magazine, there was an article not too long ago that too things in that direction https://www.wizards.com/dnd/Article.aspx?x=dnd/dra/201109gondsway

They do monthly updates, usually small changes, every once and a while there's some more significant ones. Yesterday was actually one of the minor updates. Last significant one mostly focused on giving rarity to a whole bunch of items. All updates are listed on the website here...

Strictly following the rules it should still work against a flying creature. I suppose you could describe it as a shockwave or debris that gets thrown up. I want to say I've come across powers that explicitly state they don't affect flying creatures, though I can't place any right now.

There's d20 monkey It's ended new comics but irregular webcomic had both a fantasy and sci-fi storylines Just started getting into Gunnerkrigg Court - By Tom SiddellGunnerkrigg Court which seems to have a nice mix of sci-fi and fantasy
