Over on EN World Falling_Icicle has turned a lot of the old spells into rituals for 4th edition. Lot of work there if you’re interested in that kind of thing. Rituals as you may or may not know are the ‘long’ non-combat spells now. They generally take awhile to cast, they cost money and they …

Want to play a Indiana Jones / Lara Croft (sans guns) style class that’s very much a hybrid but probably closest to a controller I think? THe official title is Historian but that conjures up images of old guys with reading glasses and a book in their hands. I’d of gone with tomb raider as …

Want to bug some people? Maybe give them a little sting in the fundament? Well Eruvaer has a Giant Wasp for you to send after your players. I’d go with Version 2 which is a few posts down as Version 1 is a bit ‘bookkeepy’ with the various status effects. Interesting side note, my released …

I wanted a lower level Solo that wasn’t a dragon of which there aren’t any. I wanted something kind of like the Cave Troll of LOTR fame. Something with a lot of strength and the ability to beat the crap out of creatures near him but not too smart, able to be fooled by clever …

Justin Axlexander of www.thealexandrian.net has done some work at breathing life into the Keep on the Shadowfell (or is it of?). There’s a thread over on the 4th edition forums although it contains the usual pissing contests between posters has some decidedly good information specific to that module. It attempts to resolve issues with traps, …

Rather than a full blown Barbarian, LoneStarNorth has come up with a paragon path for the fighter class to lead into Barbarian-esque abilities. Much easier to play balance a path than it is to go through a balance a whole class so if the thought of adding in 80 or so powers that you need …

In the lands of Kray certain arcane leaning alchemists have finally managed to contain some of the raw energy of the Other, the very stuff that powers the great enchantments and minor hexes alike that are cast in the world of the Here. These potential of these techniques as of yet are minor and have …

Well just Ninja for now. You can get a full ninja class over on the boards. It’s complete in terms of powers but not quite finished. Now if someone would make a Pirate class we could once and for all setting the age old debate as to which one would win, Ninja or Pirate?

Woot! More goblins! I love goblins and I was just thinking of making a goblin artillery’er or two. I think Artillery is a great ‘class’ for goblins. Seems like striking from afar is perfect for their outlook. What’s that got to do with anything? Well DarkGoldfish has created some new goblins. Well technically goblinoid’s would …

I’ve made some quick and cheap status markers that I’ll be using during play. Each one has a paraphrased synopsis of the effects of the status including the recursive ones (I hate things that say You are Helpless on one effect and then you have to go look up Helpless to get the full picture). …

The City of Burden’s Peak is open for business. The author is requesting submissions for artwork for his endeavor if you lean that way. If you remember the City-State of the Invincible Overlord (man the good times that monstrosity of a city gave us back in the day) this is similar but on a smaller …

A different take on Sorcerer can be found over here. It’s ‘feature complete’ in that that it has powers all the way to 29 which does indicate a craptastic amount of work by any one person. Balance at first glance, glance being the key word, doesn’t seem horrible. Some a trifle OP, some a little …

While not a full blown module per se, this thread could certainly form the basis of one and with some decent DM skills could be used pretty easily as is. You’d have to do your own maps but just wing it. Make it a small side quest or a filler session etc. Of course this …

If you’re interested in a Psionic then someone’s done some work to help you get what you’re wishing for and without you having to wait till next year assuming that the class will be in the Player’s Handbook 2. Now these two only go to level 10 so they’re far from complete and there’s always …

A couple of nasty kobolds are in the works. One carries a flamethrower and the other a automatic nailgun. Not something a typical adventurer is going to want to go up and say howdy ya’ll to. Again they may be a little OP so use them wisely. It’s hard design wise to restrict yourself in …

A little something I whipped up. It’s a level 4 Elite so you could use them for the lowbies in life and give them nightmares and the heebie jeebies when they hear there’s a big boy beholder waiting for them somewhere. Dark Eye’s although not truly related to Beholders are very similar in appearance and …

Found these and they’re just too cute to not post about eh? Get your paws off me you damn dirty ape! Of course in this case the ape just might be flying and if he was to get his paws off you then you’d probably be falling a long way down. Just something to consider …

Just wanted to ramble for a minute on the state of the affairs on the various Dungeons and Dragons forums. Both Enworld and Gleemax seem to be working right on the cusp of capacity. Any increase in traffic to one seems to take the forum down. Then of course everyone is going “Damn that sucks. …

Finally got to look at the actual monster creation guidelines in the DMG and frankly most of the monsters out there aren’t created as intended although they’re cool. But strictly by the book they’re all a little OP’d I believe having additional powers that by the book or RAW they probably shouldn’t have. Doesn’t make …

Another new class that’s complete with powers and such to consider. It’s a Time Mage which uses time type powers to do things on the field of battle or field of banana cream pies for all I know. As you can imagine this gives and grants faster reactions, extra actions and various effects on targets. …
