I just want to use the character creator to make a guy for lfr. If I get the 1 month sub, will I have all the updates right away? I seem to remember they had a limit on how many updates you can download.

Well I think Power attack isnt as useful with a 1 handed weapon, unless im missing something. what is knowledge/law devotion? are those like sub domains? is travel taken mostly for freedom of movement?

So I dont want to do the persistent thing. And I dont think nightsticks are really fair either. I want to do a 2H battlecleric who uses divine metamagic to quicken heals and/or buffs, the idea being that i get to attack and do something else in the round if I want to. I dont mind spending...

anyone got a good one for Invoker|Paladin

what ruling was that? as for the nerf to astral seal: i dont see anyone talking about the nerf to recovery strike. that was even more damaging since str/cha clerics have almost no support. recovery strike was bordering on being op with the power of love domain. +5 temp hp to 2 alllies...

wis/cha cleric with astral seal and sacred flame. easy to play, nothing too hard to track. astral will heal for 6 fairly easily, and thats a surge for level 1 chars. also effectively gives them +2 to attack, so they will feel LEET and not realize it is your char that is uber. sacred will...

these are true for most balanced pure clerics and paladins as well. you shouldnt list them under hybrid drawbacks. as for rider effects based on cha, a lot of them are still worthwhile due to healers lore. at level 1 astral seal still heals 7 HP. also, you are comparing the full paladin...

Good catch on the encounter vs day heals. i still see hybrid as being less restricted than multiclassing in that it opens up your feat choices. i think its a bit early to say hybrids are generally suboptimal- and it really matters what tier youre optimizing for. It would be interesting to...

I had overlooked the domains in my feat choices. also: the hybrid doesnt get channel divinity, sadly, so no rerolls. the strength domain adds +2 damage. is that better than critting on 19-20? also: i like the power of love bonus for recovery strike: you can have it deal no damage to grant 5...

no, its not a huge deterrent, but would 7 damage be a huge deterrent? the -2 is pretty sweet. when combined with a leader, hower, its not an issue: youre slightly worse than a pure defender at discouraging attacks on party members, but youre far better at healing party members when they...

Im not sure what you're getting at. this build is actually a great argument for a hybrid. How is losing 3 feats and buying a 13 con and spending a point on leveling it better than paladin armor proficiency? Im missing the advantage of being full cleric.

1) Can you show me? doesnt working out the numbers involve a lot of assumptions? 2) thats why I went with the hybrid. I dont see why everyone is suggesting pure cleric or paladin. 3) im probably going to give up the blessed shifter feat now that i realize its only temporary. what feat...

arrghh i knew it felt too good to be true. as for the 3.5 cler- i guess i based mine mostly on ddo. there wasnt nearly the same emphasis on economy of actions, so you could swing a lot between casting spells. and a high base str was still important.

When 4e first came out i was dissapointed that i just couldnt get my cleric to be like the 3.5 one. I scoured the phb but couldnt come up with a build that could straddle the roles of leader, defender, melee striker to my satisfaction. no race had +2 wis and +2 str, and using 3 or 4...

something like the d20 srd. as for the censorship comment- i feel like ddi promised a virtual tabletop + other stuff for the fee, but we never got the one thing that woulda been worth mmo pricing.
