I play a 8th level eladrin wizard, so I can't comment on the higher levels, but I can tell you what has helped my survivability at the lower levels. Assuming the GM is not limiting choice of feats or powers so you have the entire DDI to go through, here's some I would recommend: Mine is a...

I wasn't going to reply to this as others had put in their arguments and interpretations which I agreed with, however... For those (including Iconik, Hi! *wave*) saying they don't understand where the hostility for this player comes from, look at the title of the thread: "I hate bards". It...

Hee. Like I said, I didn't have the book in front of me here (I'm at work), but the dazed-only taking one action-thing came up in gaming tonight. Thankfully, the GM ruled as you suggested because I think that's the right interpretation. Of course, it's his game so he can run it how he likes...

I completely agree with that. What about when stunned? Since a free action is "free", would they able to take a free action when stunned? I don't have the book in front of me, but I believe it says "they can take no actions".

Just that. In a game (and I keep meaning to ask this but keep forgetting) I'm playing in, this came up again tonight. Our ranger was allowed one action (akin to dazed--he wasn't, but he was allowed one action, so he might as well been). He was going to drink a healing potion, which is an action...

By contrast, a ranger in one of our games who rolled terribly for the most part, got two natural 20's on his twin strike, just at a time when we really needed it.

As a player, I say "What's the point of playing then?" Yes, roleplaying and all that, but when it comes down to combat, having the GM roll everything just seems like... he can do anything he wants. He can roll dice and say "Oh, you hit!" I have played Amber many MANY times before, but that game...

It all comes down to whether or not the GM and the players are having fun. Being stunned once sucks, but you get out of it. Being chain stunned or dominated really blows and sucks the fun out of the encounter for that player. So, I'm more of a "spread the pain around" GM... to a point. If it's a...

I don't like it because it's not fun to me. Yes, maybe it comes down to rolling little plastic things and seeing if they say I hit or not (although I never had a problem hitting anything really), but regardless of why... it's not fun for me. As soon as I level, I'm speccing out of it since our...

There was another creature within melee that the others were dealing with. Also, I did have Force Orb (and hit with it, I have a +10 mod to hit and hitting most things isn't a problem unless the dice hate me that day), but that was my only other range 20 power. Usually, I have Fireball...

I think I didn't express myself clearly--it was completely unfun because it felt like I was doing nothing. There was no roll, no anticipation of maybe missing, and no challenge, thus... unfun. I LIKE difficult games, and when things go wrong. Some of the best times in games are when things go...

Hey, y'all. This didn't come up often before, but we have very few slow powers. In the book, it just says the movement drops to 2, but can a slowed creature shift? We all assumed they couldn't--they're moving in slowmo after all and can't make the quick movements--but upon looking in the book...

We had our first game session after the errata and as a wizard who took MM... I hate the change. It's boring. We often have situations where we fight at range, and I and our seeker (I think that's his class) are the ones with range. I only have a couple spells with range 20, and one of them is...

Ok, we had our first game session after the errata and... the new Magic Missile sucks. Although I was always auto-hitting, it felt like I wasn't doing anything. I think it was semi-frustrating for the GM too because even though we were making fun about taking a nap inbetween rounds, I was always...

*Maximilia, Max for short *I'd prefer level 1, but I'm ok with anything *I'm in MST--I can do any evening after 5 or 6 MST except the weekends, so no Saturday or Sunday for me *Probably a warlock *I was away all Sunday, so I didn't get any messages til I logged in this morning. I hope I gets to...
