Actually, Beholders are not under the OGL at all; they are copyright by WotC only, same with mind flayers. But yes what you say about, hit points, AC, reflex, fortitude, etc. are all correct. The risk about this is, was someone said, inheriting definitions. But we can modify OGL definitions...

Also guys, what do you think about weapons using ability scores like in DDN? I think that is an easy idea to get away with. Just use 4e/3.5 weapons. Then you can have your swashbuckling fighter and arrow-shoosting warlord. Or do you think that unified powers should be set to the class's prime...

I kind of like what you guys are saying. So it would look like: At-Will powers - unified by power-source, some classes get unique additions Encounter Powers - Unique to class, but many scale with level Daily Powers - Unique to class Now, I do not know about you guys, but I loved how...

Also, why not have a unified power/spell list? Another major problem with 4e is ability score inflexability. I want to have a swashbucking warlord with a rapier and light armor, and yet none of the warlord powers grant me this. I want to run a bow-wielding cleric as well, but the warpriest...

I did not expect to, but I have a great many feels for this thread already. A lot of great ideas, and I would like to offer my input. Mechanical Compatibility/ OGL I really think that this is a great idea. I do not know how OGL publishing would function, but I think it is a good idea. But I...

For the record, there is already a bit of conversion work already out there on this front. Enter Races of Ansalon by Cam
 Banks. Probably a bit of help. Maybe.

I have a few suggestions. One some "old-school" Eberron buisness, and two are from videogames. Beasthide Shifter A shifter of werebear descent. Ability Scores: +2 Constitution, +2 Wisdom Skill Bonuses: +2 Intimidate, +2 Endurance Beasthide Shifting: You have the beasthide shifting power...

Thanks everybody for your thoughts so far. I have considered altering the definition of "Extended Rest," such as to being a week/weekend's worth of R&R, instead of 6 hours sleep. Simultaneously though, I am not sure if I am comfortable with doing that... But it would make healing/damage more...

The Dazed condition says "You can take either a standard action, a move action, or a minor action on your turn (you can also take free actions)." To me, the "on your turn" business seems to me to imply that the check to trigger the end of the turn is after the resolution of the action. Since the...

The Problem In my campaign style, I not not usually run more than a few encounters per adventure. In fact, I usually do not run adventures, per say. How it usually goes is: 1) Mission select 2) Go to place 3) Deal with RP and Skill challenges 4) Combat encounter 5) Go back to step 3 or 2, if...

I would only give these tools an 8/10 - very good for basic stuff, but if you get too complicated it can get wonky. Qube's Stat-Block Builder The Playwrite's 4e Power Toolkit Both can get WEIRD if you try to copy-paste them into the WotC forums. Double- and 1.5-spacing be da**ed!

What races always appear in your campaigns? What races never appear? For me, I always use humans, all three elf races, and dragonborn. I have never had a player at my table play a dwarf, playtests non-withstanding. I just don't think I like dwarves that much! -edit- I also apparently like...

I have some homebrew classes for my current campaign that I want to share with you guys. Please read them, critique them, and if you like them playtest them! The duskblade was originally one I really enjoyed in a 3.5 campaign (originally found in PB2); when 4e came out, I desperately tried to...

Thanks for some of the warning! I think we already have some of the guidelines set up, such as "post your turn all at once." Apparently the forums I go to have a system they use where they keep track of initiative, defenses, ongoing effects, and HP/Damage for all creatures on GoogleDocs, and I...

Hi everyone, I am recently putting together a campaign for me and my D&D buddies, who have all moved apart. Best RPers I have played with, even if they have never all played with each other. Anyway, I was wondering if anybody had experience with play-by-post games, especially D&D4. Most...

We do not need to make the Abjurer a build or subclass of the wizard to get the "big name spells" we want. If we did,, it would inherit ALL wizard spells of any given, which is no good. What we could do is simply put certain powers from the Wizard list on the Abjurer list - exceptions, not...

I love the discussion that is going on here - or at least the insights that some are putting forward. Quickleaf - I love what is going on with your abjurer. I am using my program for formatting classes to work on yours because, well, I really like it. To me, the Gandalf/DA2 aspect really comes...

From what I can see of the class, this is awesome! But I can't see past the first page of the document, and I can only see it because of the pic in the OP. Am I missing something? Where can I read the full writeup?

It's that time again. The Evil Man is locked up in his super-fortress surrounded by undead. The Heroes can either Teleport into his base... Or they can aid the army in the final strike against the monstrous horde and the evil citadel. Provided the later choice is selected, I need a way to...

I highly recommend Masterplan. The only problem is that you have to create or find monster/item/etc directories by your self. Older versions of it can take entries from the Compendium, but even the new versions can take custom creatures from Adventure Tools XML files. Masterplan It is really...
