    Power Clerification needed

    AGH! Yes. I have now fixed it. Sorry for the confusion! /sigh

    Encounter difficulty with 3 players

    Really easy solution: give them a companion character for one of the players to control. Make it cover a role they're lacking. A lot easier to make encounters for 4 "PCs" than three!

    Power Clerification needed

    It's a little unfortunate that the teleporting and making an attack portion of Aegis of Assault was not placed into another power so that it would be more clear, but if it was, it would look like Assault via Aegis -- Swordmage Feature At-Will -- Arcane, Teleportation Immediate Reaction -- Close...

    Lack of Fast Heroes (rant)

    Isn't the duelist rogue build pretty much a swashbuckler?

    Lack of Fast Heroes (rant)

    Thank goodness the designers don't think "Hey, we don't have many Dex-based classes... We should think some up!" That would absolutely be the wrong way to go about it! And a fast hero need not have Dexterity as their primary stat, or, hell, their secondary stat. For example, the quick...

    Battlemind article out

    I don't understand how that could ever be conceived... "A missed attack never damages a minion." does NOT mean "Only attacks that hit can damage a minion."

    Longtooth Shifter Regen

    If only they followed Magic's lead and explicitly defined the meaning of the words "when", "whenever" and "while" in the rules. ;)

    <rant>Psionic Magic?! WTF?!

    I had pretty much the exact same reaction as you did when I first saw it, so I understand. I also hold psionics dear and close to my heart. :)

    Hybrid Sorcerer Question or Does a Hybrid actually get a build option?

    If you created your hybrid sorcerer in an older version using the playtest rules, it's quite likely you'll have to recreate it from scratch with the latest version.

    Longtooth Shifter Regen

    It's not really surprising that Longtooth Shifting is 'strictly superior' than Melora's Tide, considering most racial encounter powers are better than most Channel Divinity powers as a whole. :P

    Longtooth Shifter Regen

    Adventurers often take short rests after an encounter, but a short rest does not cause an encounter to end! It does that itself. :)

    Hybrid Sorcerer Question or Does a Hybrid actually get a build option?

    As a hybrid sorcerer, you can take Soul of the Sorcerer as a Hybrid Talent option. It gives you one of the various Soul subfeatures (which is the part that gives you resistance(s) and resistance piercing), and you are considered to have the associated Spell Source for the purpose of meeting...

    Battlemind article out

    Note that it's not just battleminds that only get 1 power point at lvl 13; it's the same for all the psionic classes that get power points.

    <rant>Psionic Magic?! WTF?!

    Oh, trust me, I'm ignoring them so hard. I was just a little disappointed by the art because I was really, really hoping more art in the style of the Expanded Psionics Handbook, which has some of my favourite art I've seen in a D&D book ever. :( I guess from now on I'll be mentally replacing...

    <rant>Psionic Magic?! WTF?!

    I must admit, I also coughed up my coffee all over my keyboard when I saw *shudder* "psionic magic" but now that I've thought about it for a while, it seems perfectly okay to me! As far as this edition of D&D is concerned, magic is pretty much defined as "supernatural effects." No matter how...

    Familiar - D&D 4e combat tracking program for DMs

    As another fellow .NET developer and DM, I'm very happy to hear this! Might I suggest GitHub for open source hosting once you get to that point?

    Hybrid sorcerer

    Another one of the PCs in a game we're going to play in soon expressed the desire to play a hybrid wizard/sorcerer, and considering a hybrid sorcerer class entry does not currently exist, I thought I'd whip one up. This can't really be played at all without having the PH2 or the Dragon with the...

    Monster Manual 2 and Elite/Solo design

    It could also speak to iterative design, to put it in a slightly more positive outlook. :P

    Improved Tactics: Only works with Action Point?

    All that those subheaders mean is this: An additional or replacement effect that applies to a power because you happen to have Tactical Presence is not granted by your Tactical Presence class feature.

    D&D 4E Everyone's a swordsage; Thoughts on 4E after my first read-through.

    If he didn't want to melee, why did he not take at least one of the two at-will ranged cleric powers?
