    Moving Stinking Cloud over an enemy: Did the enemy enter the cloud?

    While I agree that's strictly RAW, I don't see this as a problem because I don't allow slides to move a creature back and forth. You move the creature once, from one square to another square, and that's it. While the Slide rules don't specifically disallow this, it seems reasonable to me and...

    Best way to handle Eartdawn-like magic Items?

    I must confess I haven't read the section on this in AV, but I would probably replace the magic item treasure parcels with an upgrade to one of the party's weapons. So, when you have a level 1 treasure parcel, instead of giving out a level 5 magic item, upgrade one of the party's weapons -...

    Iron Kingdoms Conversions

    I'm assuming you mean Warlord for both of these? As for healing, perhaps Healing Word and any other Healing powers with the Divine power source which let others spend healing surges work as if a healing surge had been spent, but cause some kind of backlash on the caster? Perhaps the caster has...

    Iron Kingdoms Conversions

    Some more excellent work - I like that it's all a lot simpler than some of the stuff on the Privateer Press boards. I've been working on an Adventuring Scholar paragon path for Rangers, which is based on the Beast Stalker. Intended modifications include bonuses to Monster Knowledge checks...

    Iron Kingdoms Races

    Sadly I don't; I only have the Monsternomicon I (3.0 edition at that) and the Lock 'n' Load character primer. Big fan of the setting though, and am currently trying to track down the other books so I can run a game - only got to play an Adventuring Scholar once, but I definitely want to again...

    Iron Kingdoms Races

    These are so straightforward I find it hard to believe no-one thought of them before... Great work! For the Nyss, I would probably do away with Wild Step - ice walk is a much better fit and it seems weird for them to have two movement based racial traits - and increase the cold resistance to...

    New Power Cards...

    A lot of the MSE sets use icons for action types and, as long as the icons are clear, they're great. (The common ones are a fist for Standard actions, a boot for Move actions, and a small star for Minor actions.) MSE, by the way, is Magic Set Editor, if you're not familiar with the acronym...

    D&D 4E summoning experience for 4e

    I just bumped this thread detailing some homebrew summoning powers which I quite liked. As I said there, I like this system of using a Standard Action sustain, though I don't think expending a healing surge is necessary. Summoning a monster of your own level seems a little underpowered, too - a...

    A Monk-style class work in progress

    Just thought I'd bump this since no-one's commented. I think the class is great, and would love to see it developed further. Anyone else have any ideas - particularly for a name? I'm sure there must be some great names for martial arts practitioners used in all those martial arts movies - but I...

    D&D 4E (Baatorian) Green Steel in 4E

    True. I'm still tweaking it - I've upped the cost to 400gp. Of course, I don't intend to let these be for sale in my campaign! I'd probably also houserule that larger weapons - weapons that already have higher damage dice due to their greater size - are more expensive that the additional 400gp...

    D&D 4E (Baatorian) Green Steel in 4E

    I just revised these rules a little, making the benefits and cost smaller; it's mostly flavour, after all, though I do want the weapons to be noticeably better. I'd appreciate any further feedback!

    Creating Constructs/Animating Undead/Summoning Planar Entities

    Jürgen, I really like these rituals. I still think there should be a power for summoning creatures during combat, but for other kinds of tasks, your summoning ritual is excellent. I love the construct and undead rituals too. Just to clarify: these are just templates for rituals, rather than...

    Making your own power cards

    Thanks for the feedback! Good to see others have chipped in, too; that's what Wikis are for, after all! Okay, great. I was wondering about that - I think I was still using an old version of your cards when I originally wrote the article, and it did seem to overwrite some of the Ander00 files I...

    Pimp my PC Race #1: Rakasta

    I see where you're going with pounce, but I think it would be better if a cat person had a power allowing you to make a sudden movement to attack - just like a pouncing cat. Sort of like the old Spring Attack feat. Maybe instead of the encounter power you have there, it could be a racial feature...

    Summoning Powers Homebrew

    This is a great start! I think the powers should be specific to each class, though. After all, all three classes fulfil different roles, so just giving them all the exact same powers is probably not going to balance well. The creatures each could summon should be ones that can fulfil the...

    Feat: Armored Offense

    I like it; it's pretty simple and cool. I agree with your revision to lower the damage a little and make the rules the same for armour and shields. Also a good idea to remove light armour - I can't imagine you'd do more damage by punching someone with leather or hide gloves on! Might be...

    Concept Feat: Divine Archer

    That would be the case if someone were building a Paladin who was going to mainly or exclusively used ranged weapons. But this feat allows you to use all your melee weapon attack powers with ranged weapons, so what's to stop anyone from taking it so that, when the enemy tries to run, they can...

    Concept Feat: Divine Archer

    Old Gumphrey makes a good point about Paladin powers being balanced for melee, so I don't know how reasonable this is. Assuming you're happy to run with that aspect of the change, though, I'd suggest putting a prerequisite on it. Paladins aren't proficient with military ranged weapons, an in...

    Making your own power cards

    Just a quick note regarding MSE page sizes, as I've seen a few people wondering what "A4" is all about. A4 is the default size paper we have here in Australia and I think much of Europe uses it too. It's a little taller and thinner than Letter size paper, which means my sheets for most games...
