[Closed!] 4e Game; B'n'B Against the Orcs

Insight · Aug 25, 2008

Here's the character update (as far as I can tell):

Padreigh - Eladrin Wizard (Controller)
Niehaus - Halfling Paladin (Defender)
Lord Sessadore - Elf Rogue (Striker)
Insight - Dragonborn Warlord (Leader)
renau1g - Dragonborn Fighter (Defender)

LS, I hope you have your Sneak Attack primed and ready to roll, cause I think you're gonna have lots of chances to use it! Melee, melee, and more melee.

We're severely limited in ranged combat, so we need to keep the Wiz alive... most of the time anyway

Padreigh · Aug 25, 2008

Ah, so it is not me (for a change

).

Good to hear. I would've hated asking our IT manager if there were any problems with my connection (although maybe I could have explained logging in to ENWorld as "necessary research"

).

So Warlord it is then?
Never seen one of those in action. Can't wait to see what they can do.

Edit: I endorse any plan and/or tactic that involves keeping my character alive (even if it is only most of the time :lol:

)

renau1g · Aug 25, 2008

and when we can't keep you alive, you'll be able to teleport away from danger

.

I'll put together my CS shortly.

Lord Sessadore · Aug 25, 2008

This is good, I'm looking forward to getting stabbity on some bad guys

Maybe this means I don't have to use the Stealth rules in combat much, as well ... should probably brush up on them anyway. WD, are we going to be using the new errata version of Stealth?

One important distinction between a Warlord and a Cleric: the Warlord is more offense and less healing. While the Warlord does have healing abilities (and I've chosen the CHA Warlord, which is more of a healer than the INT Warlord), the Warlord does not hold up to the healing abilities of the Cleric.

Therefore, I encourage you guys to pick up Healing Potions. You'll probably need them.

renau1g · Aug 25, 2008

I've grabbed three + quick draw... minor action healing

Niehaus · Aug 25, 2008

I can switch some of my ability scores around if you guys would like Willy to have alittle more str for those OA's.

Lord Sessadore · Aug 25, 2008

@Insight: Don't forget, we've got a Cha paladin as well, which can help quite a bit with healing. Healing potions is never a bad idea though.

@renau1g: A few things in your CS:
- With 14 Con you should have 53 hp, and you get a +2 bonus to healing surge value = 15.
- Shield adds to AC as well as reflex, making your AC 22.
- Weapon Focus is for a category of weapons (like heavy blade) and adds +1 damage (so damage for most powers should be x[W]+8).
- Javelin basic attack should be at +11 (+2 level +5 Str +2 prof +1 fighter weapon talent +1 magic)
- I don't think Tide of Iron lets you move 2 squares before you attack

- Dragon Breath should be 1d6+2 damage (Con modifier).
- Unstoppable should give you 2d6+2 temp hp (again, Con modifier - you upped it after a first run through?)

I think that's it.... Must be hard switching between 3.5 and 4e :-S

In my experience, Paladins don't get much chance to heal; they are usually too involved in melee combat to use an action to heal. With this group makeup, however, I can easily see the Pally helping with the heals. He's not the only Defender and not the only melee character. Nice to have the option.
