How about Shaper for your unnamed arcane leader? It's pretty simple (the name comes from a series of games called Geneforge from Spiderweb Software, not an original idea by me), but it fits the zone creation and energy manipulation. Also, Enchanted Weapon seems overpowered for a 9th level...

I dig the names you chose for the tactics powers! Also, was I right about the "Close Blast Melee Weapon +1" being a Blast 2 with a non-reach weapon, Burst 3 with a reach weapon? And "Close Burst Melee Weapon" is a Burst 1 with a non reach weapon, and a Burst 2 with a reach weapon? I'm just...

Glad to help!!! For roundabout: When wielding a reach weapon, all squares adjacent to you require an additional square of movement to enter or exit. This prevents the normal shifting of one square, but not special forms of shifting that allows additional movement. Is that too powerful, to...

Lancer opinions Hello! Great work on the Lancer class ff6shadow, I didn't think a martial controller was viable until now. I've been giving it a look over, and I've got a few comments and suggestions and such for you to go over if you'd like. I didn't get through everything, but here's what...

Thanks for the feedback! I'll take off the defensive property. Is d8 damage too much for the staff-sling? I don't think it is for the staff, but for the sling function it might be. And yes, they should all have Load (free) as the sling, good catch.

Greetings! I'm trying to figure out how one might work a weapon that can be used both ranged and in melee. I've seen Tsotha-lanti from the GITP forums create a hoopak (a kender/halfling staff-sling) as a two-handed superior weapon with the following stats: I don't know if that is really...

If I wasn't such a huge 4e fanboy from all the promises of grandeur that have been given (and my own insane optimism), I'd probably eat up all that's in the BOXM. As it is, the at will powers he wrote up are amazing and if my DM wasn't already afraid of my love for tweaking the game, I'd have...

Caste is more than just something that could be done via racial traits, they would be more like classes. Or perhaps mixing a racial type modifier in with a class - ie, a class that grants stat bonuses. As for non combat charms, what about rituals? If they don't work out of the box, I'm sure...

Thank you Mr Rouse. A great idea from the OP.

Thanks RyukenAngel! I'm a one forum guy, so I miss things - do appreciate the cross post! I suppose my example of giving up Light for Fireball wasn't right, good points about the utility and combat split. However, I was rather hoping that at the very least you could keep utility powers...

I don't mean to derail anything, but I hope a thread pops up with a comprehensive list of what Chris Perkins says here. Other than the ritual tidbit... I skipped around a bit, around 12 minutes I heard that characters won't have a huge list of powers. Instead, they will replace their earlier...

Glad to brainstorm with ya! As for the astral concept, it wasn't a really fleshed out idea, just something in me trying to be different from the warlock/tiefling combo. It's really hard to stat out a class that can constantly shift based on your actions and motives. As much as I would prefer...

It was a joke, based on something Nytmare said:

Amazing, brilliant! Although, as idiotic as it may be to nitpick a humor thread of such caliber: Rouse-I-be would not play 4e with himself? Other than that, I'm in love with this poem of such great parodic (that is 90% likely to not actually be a word) heights! And in my head Rouse was...

I think the project has merit! It's inspired me some, so I'll throw out what ideas I have and you can cannibalize any of it that you like. My thoughts are to have nothing inherently good or evil (thus no celestial/fiendish blood lines) and to de-emphasize draconic heritage. I am somewhat of a 4e...

If every level has at least a choice of 4 powers, and every class has a different list.... that's a minimum of 4 powers x 30 levels x 8 classes. Or 960 powers. If so... that's pretty amazing.

For those who don't have the time/ability/interest in watching the YouTube video, let me see if I can list off some of the vague facts thrown in there by Heinsoo. He isn't one to divulge secrets as much as others, but lets see... It isn't until chapter 9 where you really learn about how to play...

I just got it and read through briefly - it's a fun read, and there's a fair amount of content. Same quality presentation I expect from Monte as well. He pretty much makes the cleric, druid, wizard, ranger, and paladin brand new with the addition of disciplines. Some disciplines replicate old...

The leader bit by Shoe makes sense. You can play without a cleric/warlord, but you won't last as long as a balanced group that uses one or more. And I agree with Sphyre on the feat progression.

Thank you all so much for the feedback! Especially Nifft, who should be the conscience of DMs everywhere. The warblade mechanics would make a good fit. A shapeshift druid with maneuvers would give the ranger/rogue/fighter/barbarian/paladin a run for their money. Especially at level 8, with the...
