The Art of Defending -- A beginner's guide to the Defender role -- This is a revision of mkill's The Art of Defending and it aims to take a step back from typical character building handbooks. Instead of focusing on the intricacies of picking feats and powers, it concentrates on how to put...

Item Sets These sets have a variety of complicated small benefits usually added to a variety of items, making them hard to evaluate usually. I’m going by RAW for the color evaluation that you do not need to wield the weapons while describing why in the text wielding weapons is either good or bad...

As 4e is sometimes a bit hard to find on the web, I'm making a thread for keeping track of options. Feel free to post options that you've found if I'm missing one...

Overview Skill power utilities are often a great way to give a class more options. This guide will cover the various useful skill powers and point out which ones are generally the more useful. They're often really effective for classes that lack options, such as Vampire or other classes that...

Some builds I'm tinkering around with in 4e. Some of these may be really rough and unfinished, but represent some sort of idea I have. They should work starting at level 1 and not have bad levels up until the max. I tend to try to build towards 13th as a goal - builds should work then, not...

This is a Vampire Handbook. Normally, I'd leave the class for dead, but it keeps somehow coming up as an example of a weak class rather than a badly designed class, and that annoys me. So I'm going to over time do a guide. Vampires are a member of the Striker role, but in some ways just...

I've written up a couple sets of Simple Caster NPCs - basically, I've written up some PC Classes as if they were monsters instead of PCs. I've also included all mechanics necessary to run them as-is on a single page(max), making them a lot easier to run at the table. The two files(so far) are...

Anyway, experimenting with Dungeon Master's Guild - so I wrote up essentially a hybrid class that allows 2 full spell casters in a single class. But... Very limited in # of spells that it can prepare. It might have a wide range of spells, but it loses a lot of depth of choice. It should be...

Okay, so here's something that's generally taken for granted: Paragon Multiclassing is horrible. But...if we look at Paragon Paths, for the most part, they tend to break up as follows: Tier 1: Crazy strong option that's gained at 11th and then some other strong option gained at either...

This is a guide to where all the various current handbooks are from WotC. If looking for something not listed here, this link to WotC's forum in the Wayback Machine can be very helpful. Just as a heads up, though - a reason I often don't include something from the Wayback Machine is because of...

I'd like to put some relevant links into my signature - to make it easy for someone to find 4e materials. So a couple of questions: If I put the current links in now, will they automatically change? If not, approximately when will they get moved(i.e. soon, I'll wait to put links in sig, longer...
