Just curious if you are going to grade the Swordmage or Dark Pact Warlock powers as well, or if you are going to stick with the PHB classes for now. Other than that, very nice list. Personally I like damage and ongoing over effects, but that's mainly because I see them as "dirty" tactics. I'm...

Now, here's a question for you all: Say that there is a Flaming Sphere in square 3A. In 2A is a monster, and 1A holds a sword and board Fighter. On the Fighter's turn, he Tide of Iron's the monster into square 3A. How would you handle this? For our DM, he had the sphere grant a free attack...

Well, if the Spellscar counts as your multiclass feat, it better offer up some pretty good stuff. And some of the stuff you mentioned (darkvision 1sq,) I seriously doubt its it own class. So is there other things the spellscar grants, like bonuses on certain keyword attacks or on skill checks...

Now, does anything with the Swordmage powers jump out at you as possibly being broken? From what You've said so far, sounds like that a Swordmage will be teleporting all over the place and either reducing damage or dealing damage, or teleporting through a utility to get into - or away form -...

Probably the most rediculous fight I've had so far in 4e was against a NPC the DM cooked up. All the NPC had on her (we'd searched her earlier in the session) was her normal clothing, a cloak and a dagger to protect herself. She attempts to stab another NPC we have with us, fails, then...

Because the thing may consciously be the equivalent of Lawful Good, its subconscious is still Chaotic Evil. Consider it to be a sort of split personality. I mean, its meant to be an Elder Evil, these things are called 'Elder Evils' for a reason. And this thing has been doing unspeakable evil...

That's why there's the Arcane Infusion power. You get extra damage that way because you're basically having two attacks in the same turn. The only difference is that its limited to 2/encounter and not based upon how close the person is to you. I suppose I could add something similar to what...

Ahh. But other than maybe some extra bonus exp., that's not gonna do you much good. Like I said, this class is meant for those who want to use both blades and spells, like you could with the Duskblade in 3.5, without having to multiclass as a Fighter into Wizard. Now, is there any way you can...

One final bump. After that I'll only bump it with after-thoughts after the first session. Again, any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

But then you need to have a DM who will allow you to do the Duskblade-type thing of the "store spell" to do all that flashy extra damage. With this all you need to do is ask the DM if you can play as this, because its all written up and you don't need to do any extra story-telling or flashy...

Just giving this a bump so others can see this.

OK, I think I see what you're trying to do now. Just be careful as to when you go to convert the Tome of Battle descriptions into a 4e setting. I've learned that wording in these types of things can make a HUGE impact upon the potential strength - or weakness - of a class feature. If you were...

I'm not sure what you mean. You were going to make a 4e Duskblade based off of the 3.5 Duskblade and bring in some of the powers/features from the Tome of Battle (specifically the Desert Wind and Diamond Mind disciplines)? Based on that, it sounds like you were going to make a Duskblade with a...

In 3.5, the Duskblade was meant to be a good support character. He can do swords just as well as the Fighter and be able to throw out a firebolt like the Wizard when you needed to. What made them so unique is their ability to put a spell into a weapon as a class feature. You didn't have to do...

In 3e and 3.5, the Duskblade's spells were limited but did come from the arcane pool. I was trying to find spells that would do damage and little else. I looked through the Warlock spells but those were based upon pacts, while the Duskblade learned his spells through arduous training. I was...
