    Looking for a Topic

    ...and no, I can't search, so I'm throwing the dice and seeing if someone out there can bounce a link back at me. There was a thread I visited late last week, and I can't remember if it was through a link on another thread or what, but it talked in detail about how (N)PCs and levels were...

    Astral Seal % a +2 Holy Symbol

    If I roll a 20, does Astral Seal deal the +2d6 for being a +2 implement? Whatever the ruling, is there a source? Thanks! B-) EDIT: fat fingers. "Astral Seal & a +2 Holy Symbol"

    Eternal Patriarch (Epic Destiny)

    Taking a crack at an epic destiny here. The theme is of an eternal "father figure" sort of thing, where a character achieves a state of immortality tied to his bloodline. It's not gender-exclusive; the text mentions matriarchs, I just didn't want a bunch of he/shes running around. :) Let me...

    My first take at a 4e god

    Hey UK, I've swallowed my gripes on 4e, I suppose. At the end of the day, the streamlining is well-worth the cost of exploit limits and haphazard marking mechanics. After reading some threads here on ENWorld about gods, levels, etc, I've kitbashed a god from the African/Caribbean pantheon and...

    Krust, What are your thoughts on...

    ...4E's disassociated mechanics? By that, I mean: • the arbitrary limits on Martial powers (daily, per encounter). It seems to me that while it's readily explainable why a magical (or even primal-powered) character can only pull off certain maneuvers a limited number of times in a given day...

    Minion Creation Rules?

    Are there in the DMG? Am I missing something? All the other roles have their numbers laid out in the main table for AC, defenses, etc... text details adjusting monsters from standard to elite or solo, but no word on minions. Do I build them as Brutes or whathaveyou and then nix their HP and all...

    0th level characters

    I don't dislike that 'all 1st-level characters are already heroic', but I will miss my 'salt of the earth' games where we roll 3d6 down the line and take nothing but NPC class levels. 4E kinda 86s that idea with the 'heroic' approach to 1st level. But, I figure the following would probably...

    Encounters per Level

    ...sorry if this has already been elaborated upon, but has there been any hint or idea of how many encounters per level will be the 'norm' in 4E? Thanks, Phssthpok.

    Version 5 Excel Machine

    Hello, ladies and gents. I've recently gone through the immodest trouble of writing an Excel program that handles v.5 of the Challenge Rating system. Now, it's not very tricky to use: just click the + sign beneath the rows you want to open and fill in the appropriate data. Data selection in...

    XP: PEL vs. EL?

    Hey, UK. Version 4 of Challenging Challenge Ratings has a system for determining PEL and comparing that to EL. Is this still a functioning mechanic? If not, what are you doing for PEL now? The reason I ask is because in Version 5, IIRC, a 31st-level character equals an EL 20. 2 CR 20 Balors...
