Might I point out the implication there - yes, everyone in the party wears light or no armor... ...which was really a bummer when we were handed a set of very high level scale mail. Ah well, it made a fine pile of residuum.

This won't be a problem; when my current oath target drops to zero HP, I regain the Oath of Enmity encounter power. The 1/enc ability to switch allows me to change my mind once BEFORE the current target goes down.

It's funny, that (still) sounds cool to me too! Unfortunately, after trying it for several levels, I'm forced to admit that it just wasn't working out that way in practice. I still can't quite put my finger on the exact issue; mechanically, it was working out reasonably well, but it just didn't...

And that's almost exactly the proposal I was going to make to PC, before he suggested that I take a look at... something else :) I had an 'int-based AD rogue' almost ready to go (swapping in int for cha wherever needed, and sensical - it really wasn't everywhere) - but I like where we've...

Thanks for the re-phrasing, KidSnide. However, I understood the end result of DracoSauve's proposal pretty well, I believe - which can be summed up as "override Becoming Hidden, but do not override Not Remaining Hidden". However, I don't think my main concern was addressed. I'm sorry to...

My apologies for the late response, I didn't read part of this carefully enough when it was originally written. I'm having a hard time reconciling this answer with Fleeting Spirit Strike, above. Is it either/or for the two rolls to become hidden? Can a rogue NOT shift, become hidden, attack...

A question about Fleeting Spirit Strike: Fleeting Spirit Strike Encounter Martial, Weapon Standard Action Melee or Ranged weapon Requirement: You must be wielding a crossbow, a light blade, or a sling. Effect: Before the attack, you shift 3 squares. Cunning Sneak: After the shift...

Thanks all for the replies! This is just what I was thinking - you get to make the check, but it's only going to be relevant if you have cover or concealment (but not superior/total, due to Cunning Sneak), unless there are other powers/effects in play. ---------- This is pretty cut and dried...

I'm going to bet that these questions are a surprise to no one... (1) Several new rogue powers in Martial Power 2 have an effect after the attack that is some flavor of "You shift (some number) of squares, and you can make a Stealth check to become hidden". Question: does this override the...

I'm *very* interested in this idea. It's a big change though; currently, Logan is a melee (Brutal Scoundrel) rogue, whereas the int-based rogue (the "Cunning Sneak") is much more of a 'sneak around and attack from range' type. I like that idea, and the much heavier emphasis on stealth and hiding...

I do NOT say that! I say "I'm the shorter figure!". That should be perfectly clear, as there is at *least* a two millimeter difference in height between the figures. What?

Ah, I thought I was doing a reasonable job, but the bad... guy? didn't fall for it. Side note: first significantly successful use of an alchemical item - an alchemist's frost bought me enough time to escape! Good thing, as that would have been a *short* battle. The kitchen was...

Ah, that's not quite our record for single attack, as that was a Blade Vault + action-point-enabled Riposte Strike. Nearly max-ing my damage rolls on the BV(+SA) didn't hurt either :) Am I the only one who feels like we escaped by the skin of our teeth? I'm not quite sure what was different...

Ah, I hadn't thought it through that way. Well, from the perspective of one of your players, that sounds just about perfect.

Fortunately, I had recanted on having Logan drop Alchemy for Human Perseverance before the session last night (thanks to advice from PC, Blackjack and Aravis); I'm glad I did, now that we have a spiffy new lab to play with! Having two alchemists will (hopefully) be interesting; between Doc's...
