    Compiled info on upcoming classes & races

    Anymore info you can give me after you get some additional play time in would be really appreciated. If you have the time, or remember, feel free to pm/email me any comparisons you're able to draw from more playtime. Keep in mind, though, with your comparisons against the warlock, that they're...

    Can you take 20 in 4th edition?

    I would never allow a 20 to be taken on any roll that has a negative consequence to failure or on a check that will be opposed by another party. Ever. If it's something that is trivial and just represents time as the only hurdle, just handwave it, assign it an increment of time that you see...

    Shift and Difficult Terrain - And Kobolds!

    By the rules, I would say no it wouldn't be possible as actions are resolved independently. So he would try to shift for his minor, and not be able to because of the difficult terrain, and then try to shift as his move, and not be able to for the same reason. But. I would rule that he could...

    Compiled info on upcoming classes & races

    Has anyone playtested barbarians yet? On paper it looks like they're going to do way too much damage. Or perhaps I just got an initial bad taste in my mouth when I saw 9[W] under their base power. Anyone with actual playtime under their belt that can comment?

    Cascading Catapult Slam is the new old Blade Cascade

    He's one level away from being a god or an equivalent -- I don't see this as being that crazy all things considered. edit: not to discredit your find by any means! Nice one.

    Multiclass and Spellscarred Savant Discussion/Clarification

    I'm failing to see the difference in these two scenarios. I understand that because of the rules on p41 that you are unable to use the power-swap options of paragon multiclassing, but I see no restrictions as to taking all 3 of the power swap feats listed before that section and then taking...

    Multiclass and Spellscarred Savant Discussion/Clarification

    ...you can choose to continue to gain powers from that class rather than take a paragon path." It doesn't say anything about them being required in order to take a mutliclass paragon path.

    Multiclass and Spellscarred Savant Discussion/Clarification

    I agree on the second count, but are you positive that Novice, Acolyte, and Adept Power are prereqs for Spellscarred Savant? I cannot find anything in either source book that would indicate they are required for taking a multiclassed paragon path. It's neither listed under the prerequisities...

    Multiclass and Spellscarred Savant Discussion/Clarification

    My question concerns spellscarred multiclassing from the Faerun source books. The core PHB states that if you meet the feat prereqs that you can choose to take powers from your multiclass instead of taking a paragon path. Obviously you can still take a paragon class as it says 'choose'...
