I'm trying to help a friend develop a couple of new powers for a character.  My question is if anyone knows a good source on how to create new powers\alter powers, and still keep good game balance.  Any ideas are welcome.  just trying to find some help before I comb through massive amounts of info.

I thnk i can help a little:


Help with power of powers



 




• At-Will attack powers deal 1 die of damage until epic, where they deal 2 dice.
• Encounter attack powers deal 2 dice of damage at heroic, 3 at paragon, and 4 at epic.
• Daily attack powers deal 3 dice of damage, 4 at paragon, and 5 at epic.

• Bring these figures down 1 die if the power is an AoE, or if it has a potent rider effect (or down 2-3 dice if it is both, i.e., Sleep).

• Add 1 or 2 dice of damage if the power is intended to be a high-damage power. This will usually mean the power has little or no extra effect, or that the class is a striker class.

With the number of dice figured this way, the die-type is determined mostly by a combination of how damaging the power is intended to be, and how damaging the class is intended to be.

This little niche of helpful info was given to me in a previous thread when i had trouble giving damage die to non [W] using classes.

It may help you... but i suppose i cant tell you exactly how to help u.. until i know your exact problem.. damage? rider effects? +class related feature? flavour text?

i guess my little niche should be helpful if all your doing is altering it to do something

yours sincerely,
