I'm disappointed with the unimaginative nature of Thunderspire and Kots. Find an army of bad guys and destroy their quarters, then repeat. KIll end monster find some scroll for hints for the next part. So unimaginative. DMing's so easy in 4e this will be the last purchased adventure I run. I...

Primal Defender. To speculate on mechanics, if a lot of rage/berzeker based powers are based on being bloodied, only a class with a a lot of HP like a defender would make sense. Like any defender a barbarian would mark the big threatening damage dealer, get beat on till bloodied, then come...

My 6th level eladrin wizard/scout died, and to replace her I made a Warforged Swordmage /Wizard. I used rules options from the PHB, Dragon and the FRPG. I haven't played him yet but on paper mathematically but he seems to slightly outshine the party (and definitely my dead wizard). Best AC...

Do you have four or five players because its geared towards five. I would also look at the DND insider tools encounter calculator to compare the party's level to that of the encounter. Even when running an adventure like Thunderspire I use it so I can gauge an encounters difficulty. I like to...

I have different sets in different wide shallow disposable (cheap) tupperware like containers. I have extra large cork-boards that usually go on the wall. I put felt feet on the back and now they sit nicely on the table top. I arrange the tiles pre-game on the cork board, and pin the outer...

Its just the nature of KotS with experienced gamers. Its kinda a primer of 4e play. One of the designers and Gencon said they're coming out with more threatening and tough minions than are out right now. Get to the Thunderspire module there's almost no minions. Irontooth really was one of the...

Thanks for the feedback cloned from WOTC boards: This weapon is designed for my dwarf infernalock. He gets juiced on temp hit point due to his curse, then towards the end of the encounter smashes enemies with his maul for flavor and fun. I know not optomized with his 15 str, but he rarely...

Though these might be in the "vault" book its seem inevitable for a pact blade more appropriate to a dwarf infernal warlock; Hex Hammer This black iron hammer is covered in infernal script and smells of smoldering sulfur. Lvl 3 +1 680 gp Lvl 18 +4 85,000 gp Lvl 8 +2 3,400 gp Lvl 23 +5 425,000...

I've been wondering the same thing, there aresa few monsters I wish there were minion stats for . comparing the very similar "Goblin Cutter" to "Goblin Blackblade" MM page 136 to minionize remove all feats ( Blackblade has improved initiative) remove skill training ( Blackblade has stealth...

These have variable effectiveness depending on you derive your stats. I let my players have 84 points to distribute among all scores (average 14 per ability) so there not as important but cool. As a racial bonus only grants in the end a +1 to hit and damage among all powers they may be...

I really dig this write-up. I would seem that the soulknife would be the easiest class to convert to 4e. I was thinking about the daily powers. Because you can retain your charge on psychic strike should you miss, shouldn't you be able to retain some of your daily powers if you miss like some...

or maybe natural or fey subtype, assuming all fey have blood. Seems like limiting subtype of power balances this power. Its a two-fer feat, it does damage and gives healing which makes it pretty powerful.

That's all you have to do to make this power only work against creatures that could feasibly have their blood sucked. Not a lot of wording required.

A requirement for blooddrain could be a target grabbed, dazed, stunned or unconscious. it would probably need to be a creature with the natural subtype. Your gonna blooddrain an Ooze or a Warforged or a Skeleton? I really like this idea but a lot of details have to be considered for it to be...

Why not simplify this to "As a minor action a soulknife can charge their mindblade with psionic energy. The next opponent they hit with their mindblade takes additional psychic damage as noted below:" That would be way simpler to implement and it could then be used on anybody including...

I based these on the dragonborn feats. Looking back the dragon breath admixture is paragon tier so I erased two of them and and made energy admixture paragon I added this but took out the wizard requirement, thinking warlocks and artificers and the like would use this. Maybe an Int...

I took the language (cut and paste)for this feat directly from the new Dragonborn feat in the latest Dragon article and substituted "power" for "dragonbreath". Not as much of a sacrifice if you already know its worth it.

Sorry bout that, I didn't think anybody responded to that thread so I hadn't been looking at it. I'm gonna put your feats from there on here as well if that's k. I honestly never saw great cleave but it is not surprising we both came up with it , a 3.5 throwback. I added your 15 Con...

Good Point, Adjusted

After reading the Ecology of the Dragonborn article I rewrote the Energy Substitution and added Energy Admixture to the list using the dragonbreath feats as sort of templates. Added three new Paragon tier feats Energy Specialization and Energy Gestalt; like Energy Substitution and Energy...
