Bloodscent: You can see any bloodied creatures that do not have the undead or construct keywords within range and line of effect, even if they are invisible or obscured. You always treat the ground as soft ground for the purposes of tracking a bloodied creature. (Ghouls and lycanthropes)...

I don't like most of your house rules, in that I wouldn't apply many of them in my own game (2 and 5 being exceptions). But in terms of the play style you are trying to create, I think several fit well and some don't: These fit in well with your goal of more encounter powers, no at-wills or...

I would like to have seen implements treated much more like weapons and, by extension, magic implements treated much more like magic weapons. I can't really see a way to achieve either goal without a considerable re-write of the system.

Are there any photos of painted miniatures yet? Or close-ups of the unpainted ones? Thanks for your time.

I haven't seen the show, but by the sounds of it the Confessor could be a defender: and the false love is a variant of marking. That way, the Confessor's class ("temptress"? enchanter?) would grant lots of powers, some at-will, some encounter, some daily allowing her to convince a marked foe to...

I can't wait for an ultrashort review.

Perhaps it's worth looking at the Age of Conan MMORPG. It has priests of Mitra (clerics or invokers), tempests of Set (clerics or avengers), bear shamans (shamans or druids), guardians (fighters), conquerers (warlords), dark templars (paladins), barbarians (barbarians or rangers), rangers...

It might be easier to mark the whole thread as containing spoilers - it's hard to see what else we'd talk about in an adventure thread.

I've thought on and off about a sword and sorcery 4E game. Here's what I'd suggest: Martial classes and the barbarian are fully availble. The arcane classes and the remaining primal classes are multiclass only. No magic items, or rare magic items without any enhancement bonuses. Take this into...

My favourite part of the Pathfinder Chronicles Campaign Setting is the way each race is given a quirk: the Ulfen (Nordic) people sing during work and battle, the Tian (Chinese) have a tea cuture, halflings have a coming of age ceremony, half-orcs mark themselves in reflection of their long...

I like what you've brainstormed so far. I think the best way to treat it is an artifact: when you do related things, your stronghold improves. I like the artifact system because it's outside the level system, it rewards PCs for wise management and it gives PCs a motivation to adventure. I...

I think it's a mistake to call them Primeval Powers - it's too close to Primal Powers. What about Truename Powers, or Utterances for short.

I agree with Nytmare. The best flaw systems are those that reward the player for having the character suffer. I think Fate points and Aspects from Spirit of the Century are the best place to start: Flaw: When your flaw applies to the die roll on hand, you may ask your DM for a hero point. If...

I don't know any homebrewed invocations, but Dragon Magic has some new warlock invocations as well as dragonfire adept invocations your DM may let you use. I would say detect thoughts is lesser.

I've done some work on the list of Open Game Systems over at the RPGnet Wiki. Most (not all) of the games on that page are free - there is another page, Free RPGs which has some details as well.

Isles of Albion I've thought about having a more "traditional medieval" setting for a while. Rather than that, I've gone for a Dark Ages Britain setting. The overall feel is King Lear mixed with Gormenghast and folk lore. Isles of Albion The setting is Dark Ages Albion, with Mithraism and...

I was flicking through the wonderful resource that is the Grand OGL Wiki, and I thought there is plenty of material on that website to allow GMs to create dozens of completely different campaigns. So, take a flick through the wiki and tell me what elements you'd patch together to create a...

It looks very interesting! Any details as to what book it's for?

The thing is, I would get attached to a squire or apprentice - I would certainly not want him or her to have 1 hit point. I think you need two different rules for two separate things.
