    D&D 4E 4e Poachable Powers List: A list of good powers to poach from other classes

    You've seen this list? All the 4e CharOp handbooks and I generally update my own handbooks over time, though much more rarely now

    D&D 4E 4e Poachable Powers List: A list of good powers to poach from other classes

    Put Giant's Grasp onto the list — Monk 7 power — the impact isn't in the attack power, it is in what the move power does — it isn't forced movement, so you grab someone, run them past your allies with melee basic attacks

    D&D 4E The Book of Five Traditions: A 4e Monk Handbook

    Updated the Encounter 7 Giant's Grasp to Sky Blue with hints of Gold — the movement action is "You move up to your speed. If you are grabbing a creature, the creature moves with you." i.e. the creature is not force moving, they're just moving, so they provoke...

    D&D 4E 4e Essentials as a new edition and 4e's longevity

    I think Witch is slightly superior to the other Wizard classes if the goal is to play a fun, generalist Wizard. You get probably the best E1, you lose a cantrip, ritual casting(which is marginal — scrolls are expensive in theory until they're not) and a usually marginal class feature, you gain a...

    D&D General Explain Bounded Accuracy to Me (As if I Was Five)

    Or you could have played the adventures or looked at Rogue's Gallery that made it quite clear that Gygax was an extremely Monty Haul DM with PCs with crazy high stats who railed against those who were even more Monty Haul and pcs with higher stats than his table's PCs. There's a Ring of Air...

    D&D General Explain Bounded Accuracy to Me (As if I Was Five)

    Bounded Accuracy as described in the Next playtest doesn't really exist in 5e — it requires that there's no expectation for bonuses based on level or magic items. It requires very large damage bonuses per level to happen and the player base freaked out when they started showing big numbers for...

    D&D 4E 4E Character Optimization WOTC rescue Handbook Guide

    The Binder Warlock powers do not have a level. And just in general, <you are unaware of me options> tend to be of limited value in a party who cannot do that well in something that's about to go to combat. And you're probably triggering that dominate as fast as you can in combat, which also...

    D&D 4E 4E Character Optimization WOTC rescue Handbook Guide

    Just in general, best to start your own thread, don't force people to download files, and keep it a lot more simple as to what you're doing. A lot of the build revolves around illegal elements or elements that don't work that way(Sword of the White Well is from a deleted feat, Hex Expertise is...

    D&D 4E 4e ask a simple question, get a simple answer

    Basically. Just in general though, if you're getting +1 AC at the cost of a feat, it probably shouldn't be worth it to you — on average, it maybe makes 1 in 40 attacks miss you(because say half attacks don't go after AC), meaning every 5 combats or so on average, you get missed because of it.

    D&D 4E Item Sets

    Purple is exactly what this should be rated. Purple doesn't mean low. It means in this case very situational.

    D&D 4E Item Sets

    The sky blue rating is if you have the group where that's possible. A lot of groups either are random groups thrown together similar to LFR or don't have that much control over picking magic items. Or might be difficult to convince to get. It isn't similar to Fortune Stones where every single...
