Hello again,

I am happy to finally introduce to you the beta version of the Harbinger, an elemental striker that can be played from level 1 to level 30, with two complete builds and two paragon paths. The Harbinger features polymorphing into elemental forms and a choice of steady or explosive additional damage. Please click on that link to the PDF, give it a look and tell me what you think. All input is valuable. Thanks in advance!
Note: As with the Xaosmith, powers which would otherwise be replaced with higher-level powers instead have a higher level version displayed as an additional line beneath the original power. 

Developing the Harbinger

Of the elemental classes, the harbinger has been changed the most since I first introduced it as the Chaos Bringer. While the Chaos Bringer

Mike Eagar (Sadhai)

Kent Lloyd (Kloric)

Adam Rodger (Arhuzimel)

Tylor Austad (Terulai)

DM: Graham Ward



Sadhai’s arm brought the party to Iljudheim, some five hundred miles from their original destination. They were standing in a blizzard before a large, stockaded hill fort. They approached the guard and got an audience with Gaustadt, the king of Ulfyrstock. They learned that they had ended up in Bale, the capital fortress of the kingdom. Everyone in Bale was extremely suspicious of the strangers, asking them if they had dealings with elves. Nirvani and Terulai charmed Gaustadt, and soon learned that this area had been under a blizzard for several years as a result of some enchantment. The people seemed

EPISODE FIFTY-SIX: The Spirit Walk (Level 23)

The Players:

Kristy Eagar (Nirvani)

Mike Eagar (Sadhai)

Kent Lloyd (Kloric)

Adam Rodger (Arhuzimel)

DM: Graham Ward

 

Not long after Arhuzimel’s ascension, Nirvani felt concerned for Terulai, who had returned to Chayrshellech to oversee the maintenance of the new regime he had put into place there. Nirvani was taken in a vision telling her that Terulai wasn’t in Chayrshellech at all, but that he had somehow been taken captive into the Darkplane just outside Salvendum.

With Ardoth’s help she learned the Spirit Walk ritual from Onfalcedhuitha’s library, which allowed her and several companions to conscious leave their material bodies behind in Morvugol and travel as spirits. Doing so would allow them to travel through

So I mentioned in my 5e predictions and hopes thread that I started work on my own v5 because 5e is far away and I realized it won't be exactly what I want anyway. The core outline is coming along, and I am 1/4th the way through classes. After that I've got some stuff to do fleshing out magic items, monsters, and DMG environments and how to DM stuff. I've got a skeleton for it now to check math.  i am not sure if prestige classes or similar will exist, but I don't think so. Opting for more base classes (that might be even shorter than these, they also might be a subsiquent release)

I thought I'd provide an update for anyone curious, along with a sample. One of the 7 Martial classes from the "Warrior Group". In total there is a total of 27 classes planned among ...

This is the start of my new campaign's background material. You can find more of my notes on Enworld and Wordpress. I'll add more here in time... 
 
The centaur tribes of the central plains were late in becoming civilised and forming a nation, but once the great chieftain Kiron, said to the son of Zeus, found his capital and began building a standing army out of the disparate tribes of his savage race it did not take long for the nomadic warriors to start settling into more permanent communities. Over the course of several centuries, the city of Kironos became a kingdom, then an empire, conquering neighbouring powers from mysterious Thosia in the East, to green and fair Albion in the West.

Tying city after city together with roads and fortresses, the Kironans united

Ahh, the Bladesinger. What was promised as THE gish class, the answer to our fighter/wizard aspirations, and failed so very completely to live up not only to our expectations, but to fail to even be worth playing at all.  So very very sad. 

Well, I'm not standing for it! There is a good class buried under some horrible fluff reasoning, and we are going to set it free! While I can only hope that DDI will like what they see, I figured I'd throw some helpful ideas out there and a hint of things to come (Avandra willing). 

 

Weapons of the Split Soul Part 3

Here's the final (for now) part of my Split Soul Soulknife series: A paragon path and some feats.  Enjoy! 

Twin Soul Master

    Most split soul soulknifes who recklessly undergo the process of splitting their soul to have it manifest in two specific parts end up with schizophrenic personalities as their divided soul conflicts and wars within them.  However, for those who seek true mastery over the split soul style, the two souls must regain some of their former harmony and the ability to work together.  Their souls are two equal and powerful parts that form together into a dedicated whole.

   The Twin Soul Masters have dedicated themselves to achieving
