Hi everyone, because it is Christmas and some of you might (want to) use some free time to play some Dungeons and Dragons 4th Edition, I thought I share some material with you to make it easier. I made an 4E Encounter Building on a Business card as well as an updated MM3 on a Business card...

Well my problem is more that I do not like the "simple martials" which just do basic attacking, I did not mean the fighter specifically. So I think there needs to be some simple classes, but it should not be too dumb and not martial ownly. Well I dont think its realistic to become the top dog...

Well it cant also just be typical fantasy (like D&D and Final Fantasy), but humans did die out because they were weak and ugly, so they could not stand for themselves, and no one wanted them as pet. You could even have it in the lore that some "hairless apes" existed some time ago, but went...

Well I dont need a "Human", but many people need their bland vanilla. (Same as some people need their bland "I only basic attack" fighter...) Human in D&D is still the most played race and not having something similar at least could drive many people away. Even computer games still need to...

This is a really easy question to answer. I would just take these 4 Base "classes" as their roles (as they had in D&D 4E) and then look at 4E and take the best classes for each of those roles: Classes: Cleric is a Leader -> Warlord. Commanding others around, motivating them with your speak...

This kind of discussion is exactly why it was a great idea in 4E to have these 4 base classes coded as Roles, then its clear what can replace what and you can still have secondary roles/focus. A cleric in these top 4 is kind of meant to be a healer, but even a cleric itself can just not have...

I agree about the problem with bad publicity. Especially after Essentials, where Mike Mearls did piss off most 4E fans with the "going old school simple martials", there was even more negativity about 4E and often even cool ideas, like the vampire, did catch stray bullets. Yes thats the 2...

It is functional for sure, I think it got too much negativity in the beginning and people were underestimating how good it is to be able to not need healing surges yourself. It just has some things which feel a bit clunky or which make you feel squishy like: - You have no use for...

If that would have been the case they would NOT have deleted the forums for older D&D edition the last 2 times new D&D versions came out, because that made it A LOT harder for new people to play these older games. For 4E almost all guides about the game and classes were on WotC forums. People...

Because they dont want people to play older editions. They just want them to be NOT angry at them, so they do the bare minimum for this, by allowing older ones to still be bought, but not to encourage them.

Yeah some things in assassin without some of the feats like transfering of shrouds just make it feel a bit clunky. I really like the assassin flavour, and I think its workable well (especially with later feats), but it just has a bit too many feat taxes. Having no good opportunity attack...

Oh I just saw you also have a vampire class! Could you maybe also share your thoughts here? I also did a vampire class: and I do slight updates from time to time so some thoughts are always useful.

Hi! Sorry if this is a stupid question but could you give me the reasonings behind your changes? I ask because I am also a fan of some of the weaker 4E classes and also did homebrew my own revised assassin: I also have some specific questions: 1. With Black Flame form existing (Dragon...

First your link to another post does not work for me (neither mobile nor on pc browser). Then about this topic: I am really surprised no one mentioned the Dungeons and Dragons 4th Edition Vampire, because that was literally a (Super)race as a class. - You still had another 4E race (the one...

No actually the "Pathfinder outsold D&D" just never happened: Pathfinder Never Outsold 4E D&D (ICYMI) this is known since 2021 the survey on which this was based was only looking at (some) US hobbyshops as far as I understand which does not reflect total sales. Also as of now (with the 2013...

So I want to mention some things here, because the "D&D did not sell anymore in 2013" / "4E sold so bad" is a bit misleading, since WotC did decide to to some degree to "Not focus on D&D anymore" which can be seen quite clearly when you look at 2013 First: There was pretty much nothing to buy...

Some comments: - In 4th edition it was easy/common to got combat advantage, which got a +2 to attacks, which got you to the 65% (base hit on 10 is 55%) - Monster manual 3 did not change hit chance it stayed like this - 5E does assume for balancing having NO magical items. It only assumes...

Its not for me, its more in general. My problem is that the Keep on the Shadowfell starter adventure just is not that good. If you want that people get the best of 4E, then I just hoped there is something better than the Keep. A lot of later adventurers (Slaying stone, guardmore abby, or...
