That sounds good to me. This character's name was Mars. Wow though, your campaign ended with recreating the whole universe? Sounds pretty bad ass, and way epic level.

The DM does hate me. lol This is the character's second death. He is level 12. If you count all the times he should have been dead, where the rules were bent to keep the party alive because either we don't work well together as a party or he made the encounters too hard, this would probably...

I have a character who was petrified, thrown from a 200 ft castle tower, then was covered with lava. I guess he was having a bad day. Clearly his hp has dropped below negative bloodied. Luckily an ally ran by and grabbed a piece of him before the lava rolled over. I want to cast raise...

Finding and Buying Magic Items I'm all for the removal of Daily item limits. It makes for a simpler system where you can now enjoy the items you have accumulated instead of rationing their use. I know I only get a couple milestones a day. However giving the items rarity makes many extremely...

Chainmail won't get you any farther. But at 17 you are about on par or on less than normal. AbdulAlhazred is right and so is your original char concept. With howling strike you are made to charge so I would suggest Maurauder's Armor. It gives a +1 ac after a charge and starts at +2, which...

I don't recognize the acronym. What is BoMS? Edit: nevermind, Bracers of Mighty Striking. I remember now. Useable only with basic melee attacks. It's cheaper than Iron Armbands too. An easy choice for essentials characters making only those types of attacks. Pretty useless for everyone else.

So ritual casters can't make uncommon items from scratch? How will we get them? A new dm chosen quest for each one, or just put them on our wish lists and hope they fall into our laps?

If you are looking for temp to keep you alive I would suggest you go in another direction. Dark Feasting works as an encounter power which triggers on an enemy dropping to zero within a range of 5. Since you are a Rageblood Barbarian, you wouldn't want to trigger that on your own kill because...

In the PHB the Spiked Chain is listed as a Reach, Flail, Two Handed, Superior weapon. In order to wield it you would have to spend a feat for proficiency or take Spiked Chain Training (D272). Spiked Chain Training makes the weapon a double weapon as well as both ends a light blade. Great...

I've been through Dragon magazines and the Martial Power books but can't seem to find a rule on this. Combat Style, Arena Fighting, and Technique feats, allow you to apply a bonus to a specific attack power. In Martial Power II page 110 it says "any single attack can benefit from only one...

Well in my current campaign we have terrible teamwork and a mediocre party role distribution. I explained some of our flaws in another thread. http://www.enworld.org/forum/4e-discussion/290163-durable-improved-rageblood-vigor.html One of the main problems is that we don't have any marking...

There are so many great items and feats which make charging enemies fun. Things like Vanguard Weapons, Horned Helm, and Badge of the Berserker are all awesome and available at low level. However below epic level and especially in heroic it is difficult to charge the same enemy in subsequent...

I think they will figure it out soon. They're just a little slow on the uptake. Next time I may just run and let a few of them die. Although given their learning speed, they may just blame me. I'm sure I'll find out during our next session. My last DM for 3.5 didn't allow Dragon Magazine...

At fourth level theres not much available for retraining. The fullblade is key, and I would be sad to see Weapon Expertise absent for a couple levels. I was thinking about getting this item. Belt of Feral Might (D380) Property: When you gain temporary hit points from your Rageblood Vigor...

I played a Rageblood in a campaign before who had a, 18 str & 16 Con and no background. The few thps he got when dropping enemies to zero didn't seem to make a huge difference. As for rageblood encounter powers couple extra damage from con is less than the cumulative extra damage each hit from...
