    Building a Deathwarden?

    Gotcha, it was added from a non-WOTC printed source. As such we can be of limited help. Mostly optimization optimizes around WOTC published materials and that isn't one of the WOTC books. If you do play a class that is a WOTC published class I would be glad to help. I would also really make...

    Building a Deathwarden?

    It is not a class that exists in 4th Edition DnD. That is the reason why you cannot find it. If you will, however, tell us what you actually want to get out of the build we can try to point you in the right direction of what you might actually want. Edit: It is also worth noting that very few...

    D&D 4E 4e ask a simple question, get a simple answer

    There are honestly several good ones. If you have some way of getting a copy of the portable compendium (can't link for blockage reasons, but google exists) then that will really help you. Its free and has all the themes. I would recommend Sensate personally or Cipher, especially if you are...

    PEACH Ardent|Battlemind

    The MC paladin I would take would be Walker of Dark Ways which has no pre-reqs and the fighter one would be Wrathful Warrior (nowhere near as good as Battle Awarness normally but I use all my immediates so the extra MBA is mostly not needed except for as a way to punish something marked.) I...

    PEACH Ardent|Battlemind

    This is one of the primary reasons I'm looking to ignore that portion of it. Also I'm trying to see what kind of obscure items might be really cool with this build. I'm not really used to being able to take as many rares as I want and playing at paragon. After sitting and looking at it for a...

    PEACH Ardent|Battlemind

    First off, thanks for the reply. I honestly wouldn't even say that Invitation is a big part of it. There are a few ardent powers that are solid and interesting on a defender chassis, but mostly the one I took it for initially was the combination of at-wills. While it might have high...

    PEACH Ardent|Battlemind

    Hey everyone, was looking for help trying to figure out what I wanted to do with my character. The campaign I'm playing in starts at level 5 and you can rebuild as often as you like before you hit level 7. I've not hit 7 so I have to come up with a permanent trajectory for my character. Build...

    D&D 4E 4e ask a simple question, get a simple answer

    There is no mechanical justification for what you are talking about. There is no power called Swarm of Spiders (Although there is a Swarm of Scarabs power oddly enough) so I have to assume you are talking about normal shapeshifting via Wild Shape. Wild Shape does not change your game...

    D&D 4E 4e ask a simple question, get a simple answer

    One question I would have is that your other campaign is 1-26, what level is this one? I've found after playing Battlemind for a little while that playing them pre-lightning rush feels like I'm playing a cripple. If you are playing something that is not divine and not primal at low levels that...

    D&D 4E 4e ask a simple question, get a simple answer

    Basically what MWaO said. Monster damage in 4e is not scaled like the other editions even remotely. If you want to see a monster scaling chart check the DM Cheat Sheet from Slyflourish. For players using a Larger Size of Weapon increases the damage die but it doesn't scale up in a crazy way...

    D&D 4E 4e ask a simple question, get a simple answer

    2 Things: 1) If you are looking to up damage, adding larger weapon dice is a poor way to go about it in general. 2) If you start with 1d12 as your weapon die it increases to 2d6 with the first size increase and 2d8 with the second size increase. It does not go to 4d6. Weapon damage dice: 1d8...

    D&D 4E 4e ask a simple question, get a simple answer

    Tussin, you either missed the point or ignored it completely. What you are doing is something you should run by your DM first. The only way to keep yourself from getting really perturbed by your DM or vice versa is to first make sure this is something your DM will go for and let you really...

    D&D 4E 4e ask a simple question, get a simple answer

    I'll go against Zathris on the idea that making a plot device that revolves around the Dwarven Language is a bad idea if you are DMing for a group of people who don't have that language on the list. Language as a plot device is something I've used and seen used pretty extensively. I've only...

    Heroic Tier 5th man builds?

    Entry Deleted for being completely wrong and missing something about firewind blade. Was trying to find a good abusive way to use Firewind + Sarifal on a Svirfneblin Ranger|Cleric and forgot to actually turn all my attacks fire somehow. Back to the drawing board.

    Heroic Tier 5th man builds?

    Or even MC Avenger as your Wis is high. The big draw of spiked chain is having a reached flail double weapon. If you aren't using any parts of those then I agree taking them is not a good plan. I don't mind Goliath as the race, but I'd honestly take Dwarf over it, especially in heroic. DWT is...

    Heroic Tier 5th man builds?

    It isn't hard to argue with it. Most of the argument is showing you another class that functions very well and isn't wasting half of their class on being |Vampire. If you invest heavily in +DST and aren't investing in other things. The Unkillable Revenant is a cool concept, but not a good...

    Heroic Tier 5th man builds?

    More info please. For me I had a lot of fun playing a skill monkey rogue (MC Bard, Bard of All Trades, PP Jack of All Trades, Sensate Theme etc etc). That would make a decent 5th man. I also had a blast playing a defender enabler as a Ranger|Cleric/Fighter with a defender who had a very...

    Tiefling Sorceress optimization!

    That seems like a really goofy change to the power. I'd say optimize more to avoid crit-fails on your Flame Spiral and then go from there (Pick up a Stone as soon as possible and take things like Good Timing and Life's Losing Hand over other options for nat 1 problem prevention). Sorcerers...

    D&D 4E Avenger DnD 4e Woes

    This doesn't say anything about being an Avenger. If you don't want to play a Ranger with a bow you can play a Seeker with a bow, or a Fighter with a bow, or a Warlord with a Bow. The goal is to play something that matches roughly with the class you are attempting to put with it. Avenger and...

    Tiefling Sorceress optimization!

    The bigger point is that paragon is the point where, in general, you really want to be bound to an elemental type. What type that is depends largely on you. I really like Lightning for sorcerers. Partially because it has good support, partially because the campaign I'm in allows Mark of Storm...
