Hmm, it's a tough call, I suppose, but I think I'd rather have a 10 Wisdom and a 13 Charisma. The only trouble with a 15 Wisdom is that it's a bit low for an attack attribute. Shield Proficiency and Armor Proficiency are good buys. This character could go all the way to plate, with Plate...

An Infernalock and a Brutal Scoundrel Rogue can trap a monster into taking Riposte Strike or Fiery Rebuke damage. A Fighter/Rogue who paragon multiclasses can trap the monster alone with a Riposte Strike. A Warlord with Viper's Strike can also set up a trap like this by attacking and then...

In other words, just say yes to Dwarven Fighter/Warlord-Combat Veterans. ;)

Healing Surge values will differ by more than that: Fighter 16 (Con 15) 120/4 30 Ranger 16 (Con 15) 102/4 25 Anyway, Rangers kick ass, but Fighters do too.

Well, at 16th level, with +4 Wyrmscale, the Fighter's AC becomes 10+8+14+2=34 The Ranger's AC becomes 10+8+6+8=32 Anyway, marking an enemy means that you can punish that enemy if it tries to make any sort of attack, including opportunity attacks. That means that it makes it easier for your...

Just multiclass. I'd say Warlord for Combat Veteran would work.

Well, that's why you are targeting a "lone" creature, so they have fewer options about who to attack. But one thing you can do is force the monster into a trap. Team up with the Infernalock and have Riposte Strike on one side and Hellish Rebuke on the other. Or if you go first and hit (or if you...

Well it doesn't literally take away options: it exacts a price under a certain circumstance. But you're always going to win the argument that the power is useful because it's a daily power. I'm not arguing that. What I am arguing is that the monsters can try to avoid it (and you), which might be...

Let me put it like this: by activating the power you are actively providing a reason to shift away. It creates a reason to leave that wasn't there before. Claiming that they would shift away if it was to their advantage ignores the fact that Rain of Steel is creating its own reason. I would...

One problem with the power is that you want enemies to stay next to you and attack you, and this encourages them to vacate the premises. Even if you have everyone marked, you can still only take one interrupt action. All the enemies are going to shift away from you, so you'll probably have to...

I'd consider Larrin's suggestions. Strength puts you into heavy armor and a shield, and if you let Int go you can keep Con/Cha high. Con is nice with Dragonborn because of Draconic Heritage. You might even want to multiclass into Warlord so you can burn some of those healing surges on your own...

I would love to see "endless ammo pouches" and "+1 thundering blunderbusses" though.

X+CON+LVL*RATE=Z Example Fighter: X+CON+14Y=[120]<-unclear whether it's a valid result, or merely an acceptable number from a designer perspective, or deliberate fuzziness. Rogue: 12+CON+LVL*5=Z Con is really the only variable in the equation for an example character of a particular level, if...

I think people are equating semantics, internet integration, and a shared lineage (after all, it's not as though you can't say that the Warrior, Priest, Rogue, and Mage haven't always been, well, D&D, not to mention the Druid and "Hunter," i.e. Ranger) with WotC trying to appeal to WoW players...

So I would assume that means that they were talking individually. As in, some will be toned down, some will be removed, and that can even imply some remain largely unchanged. There are a lot of mind-affecting abilities in D&D. Also, the magic categories might have undergone some changes since...

I think the stats have plenty of versatility. You can play an Elven Wizard who studied magic in an arboreal city, just as easily as you can play an Eladrin Ranger who creeps around in the forests of the Feywild. You can play an Eladrin in Elven lands, or vice versa (there were many times in...

Wait. Huh? I don't follow. I do get the impression that Zurai meant something different than what you took away from it, though.

Also, random encounter tables are a DM tool, not a simulative element.

That was a very polite, well-reasoned and patient post. Please post here more. :)
