This. I DM for a group with a Inspiring Warlord, which is considered one of the weaker leaders, and I can say that they're anything but weak. Bards are the same way in that they are excellent when it comes to positioning, buffing and debuffing. If you're looking for a good healer, look at the...

I see it this way: a dragon is a creature of immense magic and elemental energy. That energy suffuses all parts of the dragon while its alive. Once the dragon dies, the elemental energy that makes dragon-scales such potent armor begins to decay and you end up with scales that are brittle and not...

It's actually a dwarf fighter who has paragon multiclassed into cleric: here's near unkillable at this point. However, the player has used all his utility slots for movement and mobility powers, giving him super runs and jumps, so the flight was only a natural progression. :D Generally, I find...

Rod of the Silver River: I would bump the critical damage to d8s or d10s, since it's intended for a Feylock by the looks of it and they seem to like the controllery powers that don't deal so much damage. If the player is filling your controller role, rather than a true striker role, I'd...

When you say the players are wiping the floor with the monsters, do you mean they're downing monsters in 1 or 2 turns? For my group, the players are doing well when they can end combat in 3-4 turns. Maybe this is just my group, but if it takes 5 turns to bloody a monster (I think that was...

It depends on what you are trying to do. I, as well, screwed up 2 or 3 levels of treasure parcels and one PC ended up with +1 items until level 8 or 9. Anyway, what I usually do is make up a spreadsheet at the start of the level (or adventure) and list all the items that the PCs are supposed...

1) For the sake of bursts and blasts, cover is determined by the origin square. For a close burst (as you describe in this scenario) that is centered on the green dot, the red dot does not have any cover, while the yellow dot does have cover. The north-east corner of the wizard's square has...

If the "one creature adjacent to the target" line comes after the "push the target 2 squares" line, then it is adjacent to where the target landed. Generally, the order in which things are written indicates what happens when. If it had said "One creature adjacent to the target... ...Push the...

I think that rather than giving the archer psuedo-wizard power, you should make it more unique and bring back some of the flavor of the Arcane Archer from 3.5. Maybe his arrows are infused with fey energies and do funky stuff like that. Some elements that might augment his attacks: When the...

This is only if the player starts to use forms of cheese to maximize attacks for use with the feature. That, and there's less cost to use this feature for a swordmage because they have more health and higher defenses.

I had thought about this. The player isn't so much of an optimizer, and more of a roleplayer, which is generally why I'm for this idea. If it gets crazy, I'll implement a "+3 damage per target after the first" so that targeting 2 creatures will cost him 3 more HP, targeting 3 would cost 6, etc...

I have a Swordmage in my campaign that multiclassed Wizard to get the Blood Mage paragon path. In theory this works really well since he's got a ton of teleport/pull powers. However, I have been pondering changing the paragon path to play a little nicer with multiclassing. Right now...

I'd let the druid do this. It's cool, and creative, so why not? I'd make sure that the player had all the same penalties as the eagles, and could only use it outside of combat. Furthermore, I think I'd require a 5-10 minute "prep" time before the druid in question shifted (IMO, it's easier to...

I'm wondering if bonuses that add to your next attack occur on all targets of a multi-target power, or just the first creature you target. Specifically I'm looking at the Blood Mages AP feature "Blood Action": If you were to use an action point to make an attack that targeted more than one...

To all the people who stated situations where damage can be 0: You're correct. My post was admitting my error in thinking, and explaining how I was wrong, so that people with similar minds might also be enlightened. Not sure if I should further explain my (false) logic, but I'll do it anyway...

Right. I guess my mistake was thinking that, in your scenario, the golem's armor would be taken care of in the AC. That is, AC is not only hitting, but hitting parts that aren't armored/hard enough to make a dent/etc. Perhaps more concisely, if your attack roll meets or beats their AC (or...

I'm fairly certain that all attacks do a minimum of 1 damage. I can't say this is RAW, but it makes sense that attacks always do at least 1 damage; if the attack actually hits, it should do some damage right?

Only because this sounds like an awesome build, wouldn't this also work if you took quick-draw feat instead of the fast hands power? Second, this might also make a good rogue style character. The only interesting type character I've worked on (and still haven't gotten right) is an Indiana...

In my experience, EVERYTHING should be a toggle-able feature. Not everyone is going to want all that's included. That said, this is a wonderful app, and I'm certainly going to use it in my face to face games. That being said, would this still work if I saved the web-page and accessed it while...

Well don't I feel silly now. >.>
