After a certain degree of struggle/negotiation my DM and I have agree to try and come up with some blunt pole-arms. Here's the baseline he has proposed: Lucerne Hammer (Martial)(2 handed)(Hammer and Pole-arm) +2 Attack 1d6 Damage, Reach and High Crit Bec De Corbin (Martial)(2 Handed)(Hammer...

For various reasons I need stats for a two-handed Khopesh. Now the original weapon is: So to make it two handed would I just up the damage to 1d10? The other option would be to just take a Falchion (2d4 dam, +3 prof, high crit, heavy blade), drop the proficiency bonus to +2, swap the high...

Do powers and weapons that deal damage modified by abilities have their damage ratings increase alongside the ability checks? So that a 1st level wizard with magic missile does Int vs Reflex on attack, at second level that Int vs Reflex attack goes up by 1 as the wizard adds the level based...

Thus far we've seen two distinct categrories of information on how race, class and abilities line up in 4E: 1.) The Stated Principles: Classes use multiple stats. Races that get stat bonuses get multiple positive stat bonuses. Races also get feats that help to focus characters in that...

Right, so working off of the Darksun thread where it was suggested that you could make templars by giving Warlocks pacts with Sorceror-Kings: What other nicely thematic Pacts do you think we could posit for warlocks? Will pacts become the new domains for 4E? Just off of the top of my head -...

This is a thread for sharing what sorts of Point of Light models you're coming up with or have used in the past or can translate from media. I'm not asking what PoL you'll use for your homebase, mind, just trying to get the highest variety of Light Sources possible. To qualify your...

This is from the Iron Lore and no disrespect is meant to Azgulor, this has been an issue that's been bugging me for a while. Just to discuss this not to challenge Azgulor's taste, decisions, or the corrections in his assumptions, cause Iron Lore is certainly not a correction to DnD so much as...

We're doing a campaign based on 1602 for Mutants and Masterminds, does anyone have any suggestions for appropriate mods to the rules? Myself, I've been trying to make Renaissance Nick Fury and Renaissance Black Widow characters and the lack of skill points in M & M is wrecking havoc with those...

I've been looking forward to it. Subscribed to the e-mail list and everything, and I've seen no news since they put up the no more previews bit. I think it must still be alive or AEG would have taken more of it down, but I'm astonished at the complete lack of news. They must be very very far...

I picked it up based on a recommendation that it would contain an improved and modern version of Four Color to Fantasy's super-powers instead of magic items option. As I'm reading I've yet to see that really work out and the explanation in the Lycian book seems to indicate that Magic Items in...

Anyone know where I could find a simple and printable map of a DnD Inn with an appropriate bit of attached secret tunnels? Got a session in Sharn today that's built around doing a review of an Inn for the Clifftop Adventurer's Guild's guide for the Unruly. The review session will feature a...

This thread is put together for two purposes, the first is to provoke a general discussion of how to role-play and model a variety of ascetic characters, and to develop exalted feats for doing so. The second is more specific. The Challenge: I need to create at least three Exalted feats by...

hey out there. I've always got a hankering to play skill users with minor magical power, but I don't like the cheese factor of the bard or the headache of multi-classing. At the least I'd like to know the range of my options. I personally can use any class that fits within the d20 license...

I see that individuals may take options seperately from companies and squads, but what I don't understand is exactly how a company can fight an individual or what an invidual could to a company. Would I just calculate a PCs attack against the squad AC and determine the number of hits that way...

I was trying to get this out of another thread and failing. The basic question is, how much would I have to adjust it for 3.5? I want to use it so that 'super powers' replace magic items, but I want to know if it is still balanced and whether or not it is still the best buy for my money given...

...sort of. What I really want are ideas on how to move Sharn. I don't mean like, it annoys me that I'm annoyed with where it is and I want to redraw the map. I mean I want it to move and I want other people to have to redraw the map. As in something really awful happens, and suddenly the...

So, Saw the House of Flying Daggers and while the movie had its flaws I was fascinated, totally failed my WS, and found myself leaving with this over-arching question: How can I do that with my D20 game? And I mean from every angle: -World creation: mad martial artists runing around...

Here's my situation: I love the Black Company Novels. Right now I am running Conan, there is no way I will not be running Conan. I need a good mass combat system for my game, and I could use some inspiration in the magic department. I can pick up a supplement for Conan I'm a little iffy on...

Hey, it's awful long, but I'd love to have opinions on whether or not anything is terribly broken. The class is so supposed to live somewhere between Noble, Scholar, and Pirate. The final ability is named, but undescribed as of yet. This is the Vagabond class. The table didn't make it, so...

I like the Noble, though the Lead by Example bit seems more than a little out of character and I think they need some more martial qualities to make sense of how often they fill out the ranks of knights in armies, but it seems to me that it doesn't fit the spectrum of social classes. My only...
