Threatening Reach 3 + riders = I am a Controldier. Why are huge soldiers with threatening reach + riders better at controlling than controllers?

Made you look. :)

Since you ruined my pie crust with your d20's, you owe me. -Make a class builder that integrates with the character builder. Making your own classes is fun, rewarding, fun, awesome, and fun. I want a necromancer who is a defender and "tanks" with his undead minions while pooping on the cycle of...

He's in my kitchen mixing d20's into my pie crust.

...Player's Option? Does this frighten anyone else? 2e era, you know what I'm talking about.

Ok. The other day over at RPG.net, I was complaining about my players' inability to track their stinking healing surges, and someone suggested that he tracks healing surges with red poker chips, and that he considers them to be trophies. Well, I just cooked up an awesome mechanic for something...

I've got a level 4 character with +21 Intimidate, boosted to +23 1/encounter. I want to use Intimidate to get bloodied foes to surrender. On average, I'll need something like a 4 or higher on a d20 to get an even-leveled enemy to surrender. How viable is this tactic? Has anyone seen it used before?

In a fit of...something...I declared that two guards were playing some sort of collectible/trading card game. My players instantly incapacitated the guards, wanting stats for their new decks, and wondering who else they could play against. So I need some kind of "rules" to make this more fun...

Forked from: Knowledge skills in combat Has anyone noticed that monster knowledge skills are very good now? My PCs know every resistance, power, weakness, name, type, and keyword of approximately 95% of every encounter they come across. Is this intended? If so, why even bother with things...

Ok, I made this gnoll queen into a level 8 solo using 2 templates as prescribed by the DMG on page 174+. There are no level 8 solos to compare her to, and she honestly looks a lot like the level 9 white dragon, possibly even better. She is using a +2 berserker heavy flail, and its power is...

This is meant to be available to multiple classes. DRAGOON “Leap for the sky and never look back.” Prerequisites: Trained in Athletics; Proficiency with any polearm or spear. Trained in combat by the dragonborn elite, you are a Dragon Knight, or Dragoon. Your trademarks are reach weapons...

So my Glabrezu has a Standard, Move, and Minor action. Does that mean he can toss 3 abyssal bolts in one round? I seem to remember powers specifically stating if they can only be used X number of times per round.

I've been trying to figure it out, and I can't. Clerics have hands down the best control spell at this level. Evard's can potentially keep people tied down if you keep pushing them back in, but its huge area makes it unwieldy, since it affects your allies. The rest of the spells really don't...

I went to D&D game day today, and I was expecting a streamlined, speedy combat system. While it was pretty darn streamlined, and everyone ALWAYS had something cool to do with their character, it didn't really seem any faster than 3e combat. At least not significantly so. I'm thinking it might be...

Ok, here's the deal. I don't want any stupid flame wars in here, because my threads are awesome. Dig it. Here's the cheese. I keep hearing people say that 4e is like "World of Warcraft", a very successful Mummorpig. To tell you the truth, I'm pretty clueless as to why. Maybe someone can help me...

Some people think all classes in 4e get "super powers oOo", and they are right! All 4e characters are magical super heroes overpowered to 11. Here is my list of short descriptions of all the highly supernatural powers that fighters get up through level 10: Hit you so hard it bounces off your...

Remember in that one movie when that Legolas guy killed a gargantuan oliphant in one hit? Bam. He didn't know it was a minion. That's why he took care of the 50 dudes on its back first, and then wasted 4 arrows trying to do as much damage as he could into its brain. I guess you could...

What is the game balance reasoning for only being able to summon specific creatures of a specific alignment? What is the flavor/fluff reasoning? For example, a fiendish hawk is CE. Why? Moreover, why can we not summon a LE or NE fiendish hawk or a celestial hawk? I'm always running into...

Ok, my new character is a halfling bard/pimp/thug/rapper named 25 cent. He's got Leadership, which means he's got a right hand man and 10 of his boys from halfling country representin'. They roll out in a huge wagon pulled by 6 war dogs. The wagon is armor plated with steel and has steel alloy...

Got a player wants to be a PIXIE. That's right. A pixie. I don't care about the greater invisibility at will, or the +8 dex/+6 int/+4 wis/+6 cha. What I care about is the Extraordinary Ability they get stating that they have Sleep arrows and Memory Loss arrows. Since playing "monsters" as a PC...
