A couple of things, here. First, the options under Success are clearly options for the Player, not the DM. As a parallel construction, it would 'break out' as "Success: Force a bloodied creature to surrender OR Force a creature to reveal a secret OR Force..." Since someone cannot...

Ah, okay, CapnZapp. Now that I understand what you're looking for... Fighter - Add 'Gets lots of stance options' in there, as that was something I noticed. IOW, all because you can get a stance doesn't mean you should, because they're mutually exclusive. Useful character-building option...

Something like 'Avengers never miss'? I'm not sure, exactly, what you're looking for here that isn't already answered by the roles that people are in. Perhaps you want better definitions of the roles? I mean, I can write, "Infernal Warlocks generally get lots of temporary HPs, set things on...

I take a slightly different look on this. I will give what I think are five important influences that D&D should incorporate into their worlds (world-building) and character options. 1) A _deep_ understanding of the Epic. Virtually all D&D campaigns take this form. (Those that don't...

Looking for a group in the UCF/Orlando area for a 4E game. Would like to run weekly sessions, rather serious fun. You can contact me at ulthwithian at gmail.

Well, I've noticed that Eladrin are very popular. A current tally of which races have been seen in the group I'm with: Human: 2 Eladrin: 3 Tiefling: 1 Dragonborn: 1 Dwarf: 2 Half-Elf: 1 Personally, I think the Deva has great traction. At least, I hope so. ;)

Ah. It's Area, but not Burst... how very annoying. ><

Hey all. Just a quick question. Can you use Enlarge Spell on Cloud of Daggers to make it a true Burst 1?

Er, wouldn't they totally unbalance the rate at which you gain powers? It sounds like you're deliberately trying to circumvent the design WotC has created. As far as Dailies are concerned, most items have Daily powers associated with them. Of course, they have their own limitations on them...

I'm pretty sure that the attack resolves entirely before the Rebuke goes off. It seems that WotC has chosen to use 'hit or miss' as a trigger rather than 'attack' to avoid these kinds of questions. The Daze functionality of the attack seems to be for setting up a counterattack rather than...

The few I can think of off the top of my head: 1) Human gives you an extra At-Will from your class. 2) Half-Elf gives you an At-Will from not-your-class as an encounter power. Paragon tier feat allows you to make this power At-Will. 3) Some multiclass feats give you an At-Will from the...

keterys: Do you think that giving the attack bonus to a basic melee attack would make it better than an At-Will? I find that hard to believe. It might make it an option you would consider, but I doubt it would be better. Of course, it steps on the toes of OA feats, but it's at least...

A couple of observations here. I understand the mathematical argument, and a sensible consensus regarding the scaling of the feat seems to have been achieved. However, to those who say that everyone should be given the feat, and are saying that because the feat is 'the best'... there is...

I'd certainly be willing to assist you on the At-Wills for PHB2 (and presumably the Swordmage as well).

First, I must echo MrBeen's question. That is an underlying assumption that must be examined. Also, I would like to make a few points that may or may not have been explicitly made here (I have read every message). First, you have stated, multiple times, that 4E gives the player the choice...

I don't think that's quite the same thing. I think the OP was pointing to a decision that the player made about his character in the past (i.e., race), and how to highlight it without going overboard. Also, while I can see how a player-driven campaign could work as you suggest, my experience...

I am currently playing a Human Wrath Invoker in a game, and I chose as my At-Wills Divine Bolts, Grasping Shards, and Vanguard's Lightning. If I had to drop one (meaning nonhuman), I would drop VL. I have followed the argument about Ray of Frost in this thread, and while I don't necessarily...

Well, the way I see this, you should use powers against the resistant character, but only powers that make sense (beyond the 'oops, didn't know that' stage). In a way, such 'rattlesnake' abilities are their own reward. If a Tiefling's fire resistance means that he's rarely/never targeted by...

On this ability, I can tell you that my group definitely does not underestimate these guys. Javelins == bad news. With 2 Leaders in the group, it's 'burst damage' that can drop characters. With 3 of these guys, I've done over 20 damage in one turn to one person, on one initiative. This is...

Heh. I have two Eladrin in the group (Wizard and Tactical Warlord), and neither are complaining about their selections in the least. Keterys, you might be interested in knowing that the Warlord in my group is, indeed, a Tactical Warlord with Eladrin Soldier and taking Arcane Initiate for...
