Rogue weapon training was taken because I could see the need for it, with my current group. A player wanted a Shadar-Kai rogue with their signature (ironically) Spiked Chain, but that would be mechanically difficult in 4e. Maybe add to it; "You cannot use the Reach property of the Spiked Chain with a Rogue power or Sneak Attack."?Noted, advice taken; power removed.I find it fun <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /> I haven't played many sessions, but I love fiddling with rules. Also, you'll not that most of my doc is additions in the form of feats and races.Thanks! I thought it rather elegant myself.I couldn't really think of something that was civilization-y, though. I made the connection of Civilization -> Law -> Control, and it was the best I could come up with. Any suggestions?Advice noted and taken.I was looking at this as you suck the soul out of the triggerer and force it into the target, rejuvenating them. Note that the triggerer is NOT the target. Still, a more deathy suggestion is welcome.Alrighty. I like the former, so I'll use it.Advice noted and takenI think I'll change it to d6s AND Cha, as Cha seems more spring-y to me. Using a cleric's healing surge works well too. EDIT: I'm taking out the "An ally may shift one square" bit, too.I really like the trickery power. It sounds like fun.From here on out, I suggest that we discuss items a bit page by page, allowing for a more structured critiquing. So for first page: With the Elf and the Half-Elf, I did NOT like the Group Skill abilities. So I removed them. I added Trance to elves, to fit with previous versions. Alright there.The half-elf is what's worrying me. I gave them a variable stat bonus (any one except charisma), which is powerful, and worth more than the Group Diplomacy was, that's for sure. However, I replaced Dilettante with a Bonus Multiclass feat of their choice, which doesn't have as much utility as gaining an at-will power as an encounter, so I think it's balanced. I'd like confirmation on my train of thought, though.Skills are pretty straightforward. I wanted to increase the utility of Intelligence, and the most obvious way is to bring back part of what made it rock in 3.x; a say in how many skills you got.With the Implement change, I wanted spellcasters to be nerfed without their implement just as weapon-users would be without their weapons. I even made a feat tree to parallel my unarmed fighting tree, but for implementless casters.I saw lots of people complaining about the uncustomizability of the cleric and paladin, deity-wise, so I sought to fix that, especially in regards to power damage. A cleric of the RQ would not use Fire, for example. This was built off of a statement in the DMG about customizing powers for villains; I took it a step farther and codified it.</blockquote>
