Original Creations Compilations (contributions welcome)
keterys, thanks for all the suggestions and help with formating the wording. I think I got it right now. It's kinda neat having an editor/rules designer looking over my shoulder. I know Ineed that perspective sometimes. That outside perspective
VB, The tinker can wait to be updated until I get the bot stuff up. Hopefully tonight or tomorrow. I'll let you know when and thanks for doing all this. I think it's pretty cool to see the community of gamers coming together to put forth creative materials through cooperative effort. I know I have some pretty good idea's but I'm not always perfect with my wording which is important for rules design. I also have little to no clue how to put things together like the files you've created. Thanks again VB and Keterys.
P.S. That Barbarian class looks pretty cool. I'm definitely gonna see if someone wants to use it in my new campaign.

Buddy I'm right there with you on that sentiment. Fellowship and group projects makes the game better, and the ability of the players to make the world, and its features, in their image is what will always separate tabletop from MMO. (That last really has nothing to do with your post)
To reiterate: I'm right there with you!
And yeah, the barbarian is some sweetness that we'll be using for some time (so please please keep us in powers, paths, etc)

I just registered www.4eplayer.com and have it hosted. It should take a little bit to populate on the DNS servers, but it is basically ready if you need it. If you are a web developer, you can do whatever with the site. I do not have the time to maintain a website, but I am willing to donate the site itself with any functionality needed.

Stagger aka Crawl or Run (due to the wind speeds up where I live)
When an opponent or force effect push, pull, or slides you your footwork allows you to select where the attack or effect moves you
From the Ashes
If you manage to auto stabalize you come back at half your current max hit points, as opposed to one quarter.
Overhand Style
Your high sweeping defence negates combat advantage from foes who have higher ground, adds +1 to your attacks against opponents of your size but opens you up (-1 AC) against opponents of less then your size.
Shades of Grey
You have been trained in the prey vs. predator combat. You get a +2 to attack and damage versous lurkers, your eyesight distinguishes better between patterns and camaflage giving you +2 passive perception.
Odd Fellow
You have an additional racial trait picked up from spending too much time with another race of creatures.....Kobolds who hang out with Goblins become the masters of the shift.
Champion of the Living (Reversible to Champion of the Dead)
For every living ally (undead ally in the reverse) within 2 squares of the creature it gains 5 temperary hp when this skill is activated (Encounter Power). In my mind all tempory hp go away at the end of the encounter - so this can easily lead to some "hero dies after taking the brunt storylines" which I enjoy.

Hey y'all. Love the thread. It's great to see people already taking this stuff on. There's no better way to learn new rules.
That said, I'm thinking about my first adventure and I decided on a little bit of a dungeon crawl that I'm calling "The Rise of the Monkey King." It features apes stealing fire from the PCs home city, including the Monkey King himself, who can use it with magic. Kind of out there, but I think the monsters are pretty cool. Posted below.
Couple notes: I listed these as "Natural Animals," even though they're not animal intelligence, but I don't know if that qualifies them as magical beasts, or what. I'll refine that when the MM is available. Hope you like'em.

Interestingly, some of the first monsters I brainstormed for 4e were the ferocious, sentient apes of a mysterious island. But whereas yours are very low level, mine were designed for the final adventure at the paragon tier, complete with enormous Ape King (solo 21), Ape Shamans (orangutangs) and Howler Monkey Swarms.
