Time Mage

Time Mage

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. …

Final Druid

Click image for larger picture

malcolm_n over on enworld.org has released the ‘final’ version of his druid after all the comments and thoughts and discussions that have gone on in his thread. Again, I’m just not a huge fan of druids, not even Warcraft ones , but it does seem popular and people do seem to think it’s useable in …

Diablo’essque Monsters

Diablo

Not going to post the stats here, just thought this thread was worthy of attention if you’re a Diablo player. Â  Various members of the forums are (re)creating Diablo monsters as 4th Edition monsters.  IMO you can never have too many monsters so that’s a good thing.

New Zombies

Boom baby!

Found these guys in catching up on postings that are of interest to me.  They seem pretty useful in an undead’ish kind of way. The OP is ZakArnston and here’s the thread discussing them. The image is from Left Four Dead and is one of the boss mobs in that upcoming game. I keep thinking …

Minotaurs

What sounds like a good new race in the form of the Minotaur can be found over here.  Now while I’m not particularily in favor of dumping in more and more and more races into a world mix I could certainly see not using some races in favor of other home built ones to grant …

Diabloesque Barbiarn for 4th

Click for larger

Pigknight on the 4th edition forums has put in a lot of work and crafted a Barbarian class all the way through 29th based in part or in whole on the Diablo 2 barbarian style class. It looks like a lot of work has gone into it. At first glance it seems a little overpowered …

Do the Math!

Toughest Fish in the Sea

Hmm, let me explain the title of this post just because it’s funny and anyone from my group will be upset if I don’t. In one campaign we had, I was actually a player, not the GM, which is pretty much the only time that’s ever happened with DnD although I’ve played in as a …

Power Cards

icon-power-button

Found a way to save myself some work on creating power cards.  It’s not perfect for me but I did say it saved me some work? After creating all the level 1 power cards in my preferred layout, well that’s a lot of work although it’s not horrible, I have Daily, Encounter and At-Will form …

Sacrifice

I'll kick all your asses!

Found an intriguing little concept on the forums by Levi_Kornelsen. A way to ‘sacrifice’ equipment to ‘soak’ up some damage for a hit. Say the fighter gets hit with enough damage that would put him down for the count, the cleric’s running for his life and the warlord’s fallen down a well and no Lassie …

Dungeon Issue 155

Dungeon Issue 155

You can find the issue 155 of Dungeon Magazine online at Wizards. As with the Dragon issue, who knows how long it’ll be available for free so grab it while you can and save it somewhere for reference. It has some nifty things in it at first glance although I haven’t had a chance to …

Defending the Tower

Cleric

Had another playtest in our ongoing series of events. Temple crafted a human cleric and a half elf rogue, next time we’ll do a ranger and a wizard. And then we’ll have covered the basic classes. Anyway we start off with our crew, such that it is, in their new (to them) tower home. The, …

Dragon 364

Warforged Wizard

You can get a copy of Dragon magazine 364 over from Wizards.  Might be worth a read or three especially if you like Eberron and Warforged. Of course the very first critter is a level 28 gnoll god which probably has limited use to make an easy understatement. Â  But it might help you to get …

Fencing V3

Rapier

The Fencer class was updated to v3.  Not sure what the changes were other than the original poster has made some changes based on posts and ideas by other users. Not sure it’s worth of it’s own picture but what the hell, it’s a tradition around here to have a picture on every post. Plus …

Gadgets (Potions)

Ooooh Pretty

This might useful and at first glance it seems actually a little balanced although scaling damage might be an issue.  But as I want to look at them later they get a post. The below reminds me I need to add some CSS for the block quotes as that’s just rather damn plain.   And …

The Mook aka Minions older Bro

Mmmmm Minions

Found a post on the forums (heh I should macro that phrase much like I want to macro a “If you don’t like something about 4th edition then change but for the love of Mike quit pissing and moaning about it!” I’m not saying that people’s pissing and moaning aren’t valid complaints in their point …

Ogre ogre

Found this little guy over at the official forums and thought with a little tweaking it could be a pretty good thug for virtually any humanoid albeit without the Goblin Tossin’ power. Thugs are always good of course. As you might notice or not I’ve redone the little icons in the creature stat blocks. I’ve …

KOC Sheet

Heh, that title could be taken the wrong way I suppose but it is just the initials of the domain so keep your dirty thoughts to yourself. Anyway, I’ve been slaving in the in the mines and have crafted a sheet of my own. It’s simple so don’t expect ‘pretty’ but I think it’s a …

Boss Fights

Click picture for larger image.

Some pretty cool information here on Boss Fights and a link to the PDF that the thread links to. Recommended reading for DMs and the like. Players should probably avoid it unless you’re the type that likes to go out and buy a copy of the module your DM is running or wait till he’s …

Whippin’ good time

Click image for larger picture

Found a whip article that got me thinking about how to add one of these things into 4th Edition primarily really just to give it to an NPC or two with some special whippin’ powers.  The discussions go through a lot of options and the one I think I’m going to end up with as …
