So, Dragonborn Brutal Scoundrel at 5th level, Bracers of Mighty Striking, Backstabber, Horned Helm, +1 Rapier. Has a +11 to hit on a charge and if I beat their initiative on the opening round I deal 3d8+1d6+11 on that charge attack. My basic attack does better damage than some of my powers, I...

I built a Halfling Ranger yesterday and ended up with a 16 in both Str and Dex, then took powers that could all be used with either ranged or melee attacks. I used TWF style since archery style only gives you Defensive Mobility, and I figured I could take that as a feat later if I wanted it. It...

Initiative Countdown One game I played the DM thought it was silly that you could move 30' and still attack in "one twentieth of a six second round." So he counted down each initiative, and when he got to your rolled initiative you started moving, and moved 5' or took one action or attack each...

2HW Balance Okay, the new rules posted for Power Attack got me thinking, and I came up with a few questions. 1) Does a 2HW inflict x2 bonus damage based on STR as well as when power attacking? {I think someone alread asked this} 2) Do Off Hand attacks exist in the new rules at all? What does...
