Hi Everyone, I am glad to see someone has taken up this effort. My kids love D&D and Avatar so I can't wait to run a game for them. Let me know if there is anything I can help with other than just enjoying the fruits of your labor.

I was wondering if any of you had considered writing some Character Themes to go with the Avatar classes? That would be a real cherry on top of the cake. ^_^

Actually I think themes would be fun. As soon as we finish
· Fixing all the classes
· Fixing most of the paragon paths in relation to class changes
· Fixing most of the epic destinies in relation to class changes
· Fixing most of the feats in relation to class changes
· checking if any items need to be revisited
What is the status of everything right now? I haven't really been active on the forums and have completely forgotten most of the things we did here xD

Is the firebender done, at least? Still desiring a character that doesn't have to not deal fire damage ever.

First off I want to say thank you to all of you that have been working on this it is an awesome project and you have done VERY well translating things in the show into 4 viable and fun classes. A couple of quick questions and comments though:
1). Can I get a brief overview of what is different between the file Avatar 4e 020211 and Avatar 4e 2? I've briefly skimmed both files and couldn't really find anything, I'm sure there is differences I just haven't found them yet...
2). Since I'm not a designer of any sort really (I'm just good at coming up with nifty combinations of preexisting things) I have refrained from throwing in my two cents as I wouldn't know where to start. ;p
3). I've been playing a hybrid fire/airbender with the Raging and Hurricane class features and I have to say it has been a blast playing him
For those that care he is an elf in service of the Summer Court (we aren't in the Avatar Universe obviously) who blessed him with his powers
4). My only real complaint is that if I don't constantly spam my fire powers I have no chance of getting my source of strength damage maxed out.
Anyways thats all I have to say and once again thank you all for your hard work!

And I'M BACK!
AGAIN!
But, like, for reals this time. One more final, long push and we'll send off what we have to Ekio and get our final document.
@Eisenritter: The Firebender is not done yet, really, right now, the only class that's finished is the Waterbender, I'll see if I can get the waterbender Paragon Paths and Epic Destinies finished by oxt (not today, but the one after this) Saturday.
@Alessaunder: There was a time when I could have answered your question, but I'm afraid I've lapsed in my duties and project leader and now only the forum knows for sure. Roughly though, we are changing an enormous amount about everything but the Airbender.
Waterbenders got revamped heavily, but it still does the same stuff, just in a more interesting way.
Earthbenders has been heavily redone to meet its original vision but in a more traditionally Defendery way.
Firebenders will be getting a simplified and more Build Differentiated Source of Strength feature, which should fix the problem you were having AND some others other people have had.
And, on top of that, we fixed a number of design problems, spelling and grammatical errors, and generally broken bits from the first round.
@mhbjarkistef, you are basically co-head of the project at this point what with all the help and support you've been offering. That is, you know, if you want to be.

Much less significantly, I am also back. I can basically do anything that would be useful, so, please tell me if there is anything in particular I can do.

I am honored to be back, too!!!
To bad that at this point most about the classes and their changes falls into the "only the forum knows" area. I have forgotten most of the changes and will have to read up on pretty much everything.
Talk to Olrox17, he is one of the most talented homebrewers IMO on these forums, he made mobs for the entire Castlevania series, which is pretty impressive. He and N20 helped me a lot with my Lifestealer class and it is worth draggin him into this project :D
Too bad that my knowledge of the game is pretty much limited to heroic tier, but I'll see what I can do. I'm going to start with re-reading the thread xD
What to do:
Usagi, you really have to make a check list for all we've done and all that needs to be done, that gives us a very good overview of the project and what needs to be done. It also means that each and every one of us can pick something he's good at and finish it independently, whether that's what's going on on the thread at that time or not. Remember to divide the check list between classes, since some of us are better at working with some roles than others.
But that map in there! It's beautifully done and looks to me like it's quite accurate. The hexagon (pentagon?) grid is a bit unnecessary though.
Do we know for sure that Ekio is willing to format the PDF once we are done? I haven't seen him on this thread for some time (and I cant be bothered to check what was the last thing he said). With Usagi back (again) we might see the end of 2.0 after all! :D
Glad to be back and happy to have something more to work on :D

Welcome back Natural20Username, you're contributions are very much appreciated.
I think we'll figure stuff out as we go along, and I'll go back through the forums to rekindle my memory. I do remember very clearly that I was nearly (80%) done with the Waterbender.
I like the checklist idea.
Ekio has told me that while he doesn't much want to come back to the project, he would like it to be finished and he will make the PDF when the time comes. Now, he did tell me that a few months ago so he might have changed his mind. But he's a good guy and him and I are friends I think, so he will definitely help us. Worst comes to worst, we might have to look through the forums for someone who knows InDesign to help finish this stuff buuuuuuut...
That's all down the road folks, we need to finish the project before we can worry about that.

What I Remember
The Waterbender: Mostly finished, in the Dropbox that is... somewhere here, I'll get the link after I post this and edit it back in. In said Dropbox is a rewrite of every power, class feature and about half of the paragon paths.
Epic Destinies haven't been touched.
Feats haven't been touched.
The Firebender: Somewhere on here, there are fully, or nearly fully, flushed out rules for a total revamp of the Source of Strength class feature.
Powers haven't been touched.
Paragon Paths and Epic Destinies haven't been touched.
Feats haven't been touched.
The Airbender: To my knowledge, all that needs to be fixed here is that a few powers are a little on the lame side. This is the class that will be changing the least in Avatar 2.
The Earthbender: Same as Firebender, brand new class features, no powers, paths, destinies or feats.
So, heres the plan, when you find something in the forums, copy this, link to it in the appropriate sections. If you remember something, but don't know where it is, copy this and make a note in the approriate section.
