This, plus it offers two very distinct choices at the "true" Heavy Armors end of the scale. Plate is simply tank-like, with significant [-2!] Skill penalties (that don't go away even with the Specialization feat) and a huge (for 4e) -1 move that likewise can't be escaped. While it might seem...

This looks like the absolute best set of House Rules for multi-classing that I've seen. I agree that the benefits of MC appear a bit too front-loaded, with vastly diminishing returns by the time you've spent all the Power Feats and given up a normal Paragon Path. with that all said just a...

The key here is the word "Effect" which refers to a distinct gameplay mechanic (ie. the whole Hit vs. Miss vs. Effect trinity of either/and/or attack results)... the unfortunate thing is that for the Ray of Frost example, there is no "Effect," rather the Slowed is a function of first "Hitting"...

Somewhere, a DM of an insufferable min-max group (or a regular joes group with 1 ubermunchkin min-maxer in it) just got a huge chubbie, and has no idea why.

I second the comment about Warlocks being closer ranged than you seem to think. In addition to the comments about Prime Shot (and laying down a Curse requiring you to closest to the target you actually want), the powers also say a lot about the play style. In general, a Fey Pact Warlock would...

Yeah, take a feat and maximize your potential options... and that's the perfect answer coming from a Red Mage! (cool avatar Destil!) Personally though, I would already be suffering cranial problems just deciding between the TWO daily powers regularly, so I'll have to say split the difference...

As an avid fan of PA, I have to say that this is simply incredibly cool. It's also awesome PR for everyone involved, good for all of them. But just one problem: Wizards really has to put these out faster than once a week! I mean, 4e is what, 5 days away now? (officially, I mean)

To tell the truth, I am personally still impressed by how many versatile options a 1/2 Elf player can pick up with that Encounter power, especially now that we know it's not limited to within the same power source. While the Human receives another At-Will, the fact it's within the same class...

Thank you baberg! I'm absolutely pumped, to say the least, especially that they're bundling up groups of bonuses into a single Shifter trait. I hope they eventually bring back the Dreamsight trait, I really felt it added a great "Primal Druidic" flavor to them as a race... and would fit well...

In the name of the Dragons, both Above and Below, any general info on the mechanics of Shifters, Changeling and Warforged as PC races would be gloriously awesome. If the mechanics are sound for these races (especially Shifters) they will be making solid appearances in my WIP homebrew campaign...

x2, with Cheese. ;) Anything, just a generic overview of what they do. And thanks for putting up with all of us unfortunate forum denizens!

All I have to say is... that's a whole lotta WAAAAGH to be had in just 3 pages! I'm extremely excited about what they're doing to humanoid enemies in this edition. Orc Bloodragers who cause 5 extra damage and heal 10 every time they hit a bloodied PC? Bring it on! It's a delightful bit of...

Rangers and Rogues are, indeed the :Dex.

I died a little bit on the inside, laughing so hard at this post. Congratulations Masquerade. Also, I completely second Dragonborn's hope that throwing stars (Shuriken apparently, judging from the Rogue preview) are useful, damaging weapons. Ninja out!

Another thing you could do is just increase the Proficiency bonus for the Blunderbuss (not as much need for a precise aim, but shorter ranged to compensate) and maybe add an effect along the lines of: :area: Secondary Attack: On a hit, choose one target adjacent to your primary target. And...

I'm still stunned in awesomeness at the War Devil's sample encounter. This is what I'm talking about, a true army of Devils swarming the PCs... Throw in a Pit Fiend in a few levels and start summoning/exploding minions for more beautifully orchestrated chaos. The (apparent) fact that the...

LOL, that reminds me of :Pukes his brains out: :\ That movie killed my childhood

heh, well if I really had to guess(don't have access to any kind of zoomed-in text like the OP, just personal opinion/possiblity) I would say that Draconic Heritage will probably allow you to use either your Strength or Charisma modifiers instead of Constitution for... Healing Surges per day...

For the question about Defenses, why is that necessarily so? Every other class receives a total of base +2 to their Defenses (either two +1s or a single +2). The exception is the Ranger who has been reverse-engineered to have an extra point to Will, which IMO is probably more an Eladrin racial...

Me Too~! :D
