[QUOTE="Camelot, post: 5337940, member: 82617"] I love making homebrew mechanics for 4e, but I find that my best ideas come from suggestions from my players. Seeing a [URL="http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?t=72870"]similar thread[/URL] on GitP forum, I decided to create the Request a Hombrew thread for 4e here. This thread is for anyone to request a homebrew and for anyone to create it. Almost any DM can say they've been in the position of needing a monster, trap, or item that doesn't have an equivalent that they can find, and players frequently have character ideas that the rules can't create alone. If you're lacking the time or inspiration to create it yourself, then this thread is for you. If you have plenty of time and love homebrewing, gather your ideas from this thread. Just a few guidelines. [B]1) Your Request Should Be Specific:[/B] When making a request, the more detail the better. Don't just say "I need a magic item" or "I need a level 2 monster." Your request should be more along the lines of "I need a level 2 skirmisher, not intelligent but not mindless, for a tomb-raiding adventure in a desert environment, Egyptian themed. The party has been fighting a lot of undead so far, and I want something that looks undead but isn't to catch them off-guard. It should have a signature ability so it doesn't just 'stand there and attack each turn.'" [B]2) Keep the Homebrew Small in Scope:[/B] Requests should be for homebrew that could easily be contained in one post. If you really want to get help with a whole class, it would probably be best to start a different thread. This thread is intended to be just for things that will be used in short order that a DM just doesn't have time to develop themselves. [B]3) Keep It Short:[/B] You can discuss the homebrew in this thread, but if the discussion continues onto the next page, it would probably be a good idea to start another thread. [B]4) Don't Post Something Complete Looking for Feedback:[/B] This thread is intended for requests and replies. If you want feedback on your homebrew, you have the whole rest of this forum for that. [B]5) Link Completed Items:[/B] If you know of another homebrew that fits what the requester is asking for, post a link to it instead of retyping the whole thing. [B]6) Numbering:[/B] In order to keep things clear and cut down on excessive quoting, please number requests (R1, R2, R3...), homebrewed responses (H1, H2, H3...), and comments (C1, C2, C3...). For example, when someone posts the first request in the thread (R1), any hombrew for that request should be numbered H1, and any comments on that homebrew should be numbered C1. If you have any questions or comments that aren't requests, homebrew replies, or about any requests or replies, label them Q. [B]7) For Public Use:[/B] Every homebrew thing posted here should be for public use. You can ask people to credit you if they mention or use it elsewhere, but don't be offended if someone takes your homebrew and changes it then posts it elsewhere, or if you request something, and the homebrewer takes your idea and uses it elsewhere. Anything that I homebrew may very well end up on [URL="http://halforcbard.blogspot.com"]half-orc[/URL], though if you came up with the idea I'll give you credit for inspiring me. Let's get homebrewing! [/QUOTE]
