The Gaming Den

Apropos of nothing, I'd like to say that a gestalt warlock/rogue is a hella fun character. However, I don't think they synergize all that well in a non-gestalt game. Maybe a couple levels of warlock for a useful invocation or two + decieve item + infinite ranged attacks, and all the rest rogue.

Multiple frikkin' attacks. I don't know about being able to take out multiple PCs, but nothing's lamer than seeing the Great Evil Darkmungus take one action...the PCs each take one or two...and the Darkmungus is wolfpacked to death in two rounds.[br][br]Invulnerability (or at least, high resistance)...

Read it before it's deleted [br][br]Apparently this guy wanted help breaking his GM's game because said GM wouldn't let him play what he wanted. He's edited his first post (out of frustration/damage control, I would assume), but apparently his original concept was some sort of deviant 11-year-old.[...

Just had a thought...[br][br](Caveat: I've seen less 4e material than most, so this is a guess at best.)[br][br]According to The Great Mearls. giving a Brute an +2 axe will , in all likelihood, change his level, because it bumps the Brute's attack/damage numbers up to a higher level band. Okay, fine...

1201213619[/unixtime]]You know, when I see them throwing around the idea that belts will give temporary bonuses to Strength, I just don't think I believe that anymore.[br] [br][br]There's all the difference in the world between an item that adds a flat +4 to Strength all the time and one that, say,...

All right, updated to version 1.9 and (hopefully) final. Here's a brief overview of the changes[br][br] [br] Dropped the bonus feats at 5th and 15th levels[br] Added Flashing Blade for extra damage[br] Added Rainbow strike to blind or daze + Rainbow Burst as an improved version of same[br] Added Rai...

I never said it was *broken.* I said it was *deceptively powerful,* and I stand by that statement. The numbers support this.
But I'm done debating it, since I'm obviously a minority of 1 here.

Damn. I had once thought PP was pretty cool. I was even going to play in an Iron Kingdoms d20 RPG campaign (never happened).

Well, I'll always have my Monsternomicon...buggy as hell, but I'm a monster junky. New monsters are always cool.

The strength of the individual being healed is irrelevant. A cleric can't heal everyone in the party with one spell (even a small amount) unless he uses one of those mass cure wounds spells. Heck, a RK in a battle, could heal literally dozens of warriors with one spell...although I will admit, that'...

All I'm saying is that it's a deceptively powerful ability, and it gets more poweful the more PCs/cohorts/allies there are in the party.[br][br]You're playtesting this guy, which I don't have the ability to do at this time: all I can do is look at the stats. Obviously, you should go with what playte...

1200468798[/unixtime][br]Hold the phone. Are you honestly suggesting that healing 10 points of damage in an area of effect makes a god damned bit of difference at 7th level? Have you ever played at 7th level? [br][br]Take it easy, Frank; I'm not here to fight or be insulted. It's a trivial amout of...

Blearrgh! This is overpowered! :nonono: :bash:[br][br]...[br][br][br]Okay, here's some actual feedback. :viking:[br][br]I do believe this is overpowered. At a glance, you've got full BAB, two good saves, 4 base SP's, a d12 HD, full (albeit limited) spellcasting, AND a pile of special abilities. This...

1199993414[/unixtime]]I found a nice definition of "end of encounter" on page 40 in Tome of Battle.[br]For 1 minute, a character must do:[br]No attacks[br]Not be attacked or targeted by attacks (attempted?)[br]Initiates no maneuvers (spells, whatever)[br][br]And you'd have to define what ...

@ Frank: First, the BB can't heal other party members - all their cure woundses are designated self only . I specifically left only the attack powers (color spray, glitterdust) and a few counters as affecting others; the BB is intended to buff himself to fight better. Still, it might be a good idea ...

So what you seem to be saying is, tone down the lowest levels and add some better offensive punch at levels 7+. I'll see what I can do.

For wilstrike, what about ditching the burst and just doing +1d6 [energy] damage every 4-5 levels? This would max out at +5d6.

These are some fey-flavored feats I've been working on for Project Feybook. They're more powerful than some feats, but they're also quite restricted. I've never liked the "gain a 0-level spell" feats, as they become useless within 2 or 3 levels. This is my attempt at something else...these...

Edited, updated, revamped and modified. Here's a brief summary of changes:[br][br] [br] Wildstrike now only does energy effects[br] Song of glory is dead[br] Bumped flickerstep up a few levels[br] One more bonus feat (now at 5/10/15/20 instead of 6/12/18)[br] AC bonus now based on Int, not Cha (hope...

I like this line:[br][br] So why did we get rid of it? Because we, like so many players, had rolled crits only to have the confirmation roll miss. And we didn't like it. We don't think that many people did. [br][br]Hey, WotC, I don't like missing in combat! Fix it so I don't! [br]Also, I don't like ...

1199476898[/unixtime]] Despite how hard they try to push the anti-binder inquisition, its rather stupid. [br][br]Why them, rather than wizards, sorcerers, warlocks, clerics of opposing religions or any of the actual thousands of things that are really a threat? [br][br]True enough. I thought the ve...

Ever seen an area of "very tough, pliable, tangled brush bearing needle-sharp thorns?" I have. I live in the country. Light may fliter through, and a determined (and thick-skinned) individual can force their way through, but that sucker blocks everything short of a gunshot.[br][br]Yes, Vir...

Allow me to translate:

"Druids are teh shit."

There, fixed.

Allright, I actually like ToM. Allow me to explain.[br][br]Binding is cool and flavorful. So what if it's "a warrior masquerading as a spellcaster"? It's simple and it works, and it offers a number of tactical options unavailable elsewhere in D&D (at least, not in such a sleek and stre...
