    Math and D&D

    No, no arrays or equations here. Well, maybe. I'm making a character for a new campaign, set in Faerun, who has recently come to a sort of enlightenment regarding fundamental mathematics, and their interactions with divine and arcane powers. I'm doing the research into the math myself. I've...

    Patching up the PHB Wizard At-Wills

    Not to be confused with Mengu's awesome homebrew stuff from an earlier thread. :D A friend and I came up with this "patch" to the PHB wizard at-wills to accomplish two things: 1. Make Implement Mastery more beneficial/"important" 2. Bump up the Wizard at-wills to the level we've seen with...

    Ferocious Reaction and Action Points

    Ferocious Reaction (Iron Vanguard Utility 2) says that you can spend an action point as an immediate interrupt before falling unconscious at 0 HP. Is this a case where specific beats general, and a character can spend more than one action point per encounter? I assume so, because it's already...

    What about Orcs?

    Orcs are the only MM race not to get any skill bonuses. At all. As someone who's about to play one in LFR, that kinda concerns me. I mean, Orcs have to be good at SOMETHING other than bashing, eh? (the errata shows no changes as well) Am I missing a balance here? Their encounter power...

    Weapon Finesse?

    I'm a new DM and a player of mine was asking why there wasn't a Weapon Finesse feat for 4E, and I couldn't give a good answer, so we rolled up a nearly identical Elven Ranger, one given the Weapon Finesse feat as it functions in 3.5 and one doing everything all regular-like. (standard stat...

    D&D 3E/3.5 Skill Challenges in 3.5

    One of my DMs, who is heavily into house rules (a lot of his changes were eerily similar to what Paizo introduced later with Pathfinder RPG) is attempting to use 4E Skill Challenges in one of our 3.5 campaigns. He's attempting to modify the DCs to reflect 3.X skill progression, and so far it's...

    Double Post on Archons (Not that they don't deserve it), mods please delete

    Archons: They're different from angels, maybe. At any rate, they're NOT working for the dieities. Unless they are. No one's stopping them, really. I...I don't even know anymore, man. http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/4ex/20080521a
