Yeah. I've been working on and off for the last 2 years on an iOS 4e character builder using the SQL table used by the [you'd have to google it, i'm not risking anything], and even on there, the flags really just aren't robust enough. It's a massive project to manually add in rules to each...

erm... From any sort of optimization standpoint, barbarian rages are almost universally a horrible waste of a standard action that would have been much better spent on one of their phenomenal encounter powers or charging. so barbarians would probably benefit from this change, though i'm not...

I was late enough to the dnd party that the CB was online before I joined in. So I have no experience with the offline one. I'll be the first person to agree that silverlight is terrible technology and was an awful platform choice, but it's still cheap and useful, as well as being the only...

But this kind of reads like, "I have rulebooks, I just don't have all of the new ones and want them for free!" DDI costs under $10 for a month. It gets you legal, cheap access to every option and power they've released for 4e, and the character builder so you don't have to manually search...

1) not really, no. you'd have to use something else as a placeholder or leave that slot blank. 2) yes. on the feat and powers pages there is a button that looks like a house. clicking it lets you add any bonus power or feat. 3) you can't fully customize an approved source list, but when you make...

bug-addled though the CB may be, this isn't one of them. as explained by multiple people already, getting proficiency via a class feature that is freely available to hybrids is an entirely different beast than checking both class armor proficiency lists and only actually using the duplicates...

I don't think anyone thinks BCL is overpowered for battle clerics, it's just less balanced against the other options available to, say, a barbarian. Hybriding in 4e is one of the easiest ways to unintentionally make a terrible character, but BCL makes hybrid cleric often better than a pure...

Just build him a str/wis hybrid cleric|ranger taking battle cleric's lore and using hybrid talent for DWF. This satisfies everything he asked for without any refluffing or homebrew being necessary, and is a really fantastic hybrid combination. Take multiattacks, interrupts, and minor action...

simply treat it as two campaigns, complete with separate parties/characters. they can be set concurrently in the same campaign setting, each telling part of the overall story, or can be entirely separate, having no effect on each other. if in the same setting, trade general notes with the other...

you just necroed not one but two threads from 4 years ago.

I'm a big fan of hybrids whose primary and secondary stats are mirrored, rather than the same, such as a DEX/WIS Ranger|Seeker, or a CHA/CON Ardent|Battlemind (both of which work rather well). To fill out a party of 4 with the 2/2/2/2 requirement, I would use the two above, a STR/CHA...

No I think what they were saying is that if you push a monster 7, and it's only 3 squares to shove them off the cliff, if they fail the save and fall down the pit, you can continue to push them 4 more squares. If they fell 10 feet down a 100 fit chasm and then landed on a narrow ledge, the...

the power card sheets generated by the character builder can be confusing for sure. true, the text on powers only lists the ability modifier (if any) that is added to the damage roll, or any other static extra damage dealt by the power, but that does not mean no other damage bonuses get added...

I am really confused at how many people agree that the berserker is more powerful a defender than the fighter. The berserker punishment is, particularly at epic, awesome. Barbarian powers are excellent for striking, but so greatly inferior to fighter defending powers for defending that there's...

It's an aura 2, so you'd have to push 2, not 1, but otherwise correct. It does sound annoying to confront in melee, but most parties should have at least one ranged combatant of their own, and anyone with a charge-build could alternate between the adept and another target.
