    PHB 2 power creep

    Battlerager is very overpowered. My player is playing one in my new campaign. He take dwarf, fight with battleaxe and shield (S16,Con18,Wis14) and use Brash Strike with makes +7 to hit and deals 1k10+7 dmg (+9 if he got temp HP). AC 18. He take feat from MP called Dwarf Stoneblood, so every time...

    Hit rate. When you compare damage dealt by NAD targeting powers and the AC targeting powers you can see that damage is the same, but NAD attacks also gives nasty effects. I don't see the "feature" of epic play as a one monster makes his at-will stunn/dominate attack and exclude one character...

    If this is true, then monsters attacking NADs are much stronger than monsters attacking AC. This makes a situation where "balance" of monsters overall power isn't achieved at all. So if this was a intentional move, then designers should at least mention about this in section about making...

    @Jhaelen You made some math. That's nice. But: 1)Compare AC to DEF of PCs and damage that is dealt with both attacks. Flameskull (24 lvl Artillery): +28 vs. REF; 2d8+10 dmg and the target is dazed until end of next monster turn. Highest (36) - 8 on die Medium (33) - 5 on die Lowest (29) - 2 on...

    I just saw this previev: Monster Manual 2 Excerpts: Adamantine Dragon 21 lvl solo soldier +26 vs. REF Highest - 7 on die Middle - 4 on die Lowest - 2 on die Now the defender -2 to attack doesn't mean anything, becouse dragon makes 5 attacks and one of them will be targeted into fighter. Now...

    Not less but your leaders ability to heal is better and PCs don't lose too many hit points. And what fights are we talking about? Standard? It is obvious they are easy fights even on heroic. The problem goes live when you make a n+3/n+4 fight with n+4/n+5 monsters that hit your all NADs when...

    @Jhaelen At first the werall tactic thing is important in game, but it's not THAT important. Of course in this fight, players will have adventage, becouse it's fight 5 on 1. But when you take 5 on 5 fight things will change. I understand importance of tactic in play, but don't forget monster use...

    With two leaders in team I no wonder you couldn't make to much threat to you players. They have strong backup. They could go easily on epic. So if you're saying that your experience on epic is based on this teams, you can have you rights here, but that doesn't mean that everybody plays wit 2...

    Insulting again? Bravo. Describe me what impact on game have postitiong, tactics and powers? Well to be specific, what YOU think about this. And I can understand you didn't get my joke from previous post, but man. Do you think monsters are maindless? They will have soldiers and brutes to...

    I was wonder what NADs have any given classes. I was bulding characters at 25 lvl, when NADs HIT is at +28 on Average (+30 artillery): FOR 4 on die; Ref 5 on die; Will 8 on die. FOR 6 on die; REF 8 on die; Will 2 on die FOR 8 on die; REF 4 on die; Will 6 on die. //All builds are withou DEF...

    And? There are some items giving +2 do single DEFs. 4E designers were saying that there will bo other magic items that will give bonuses to NADs. And they break they word. Anyway if this is an option to fix math it's still very bad, cous you lost many interesting items just to make you NADs...

    Firstly, when moster have +10 adventage this means that he will no even have to make roll to see if hit can hit. But he can roll 1 with is automiss, so monster hits on 2 on die. Anyone who knows the basic rules knows that monster need 2 on die, even if his bonus to hit is huge. And I was using...

    If taken my post as insulting I apolagize. It was not my intention. Yeas indeed! This warlord power we are talking about (that gives +4 to all defs is 29 daily so we don't have it now!). Secondly this is solo artilery so ithings get more complicated. Normal monsters team will have first line...

    I no wonder you can't understand what I'm talkin about. This is THE SAME THING! ;) +10 monster adventage is (Mr. +30 and W30!). The fact that he misses on 1 is so simple, that I didn't even mentioned about it. With Mr. +30 and W32 (+8 monster adventage); Mr +30 and W29 (+11 monster adventage!)...

    I'm starting to think that you don't understand what are we talking here, and math cruch I made shows to us. This is what I wrote in previous post: (from my math on 30 lvl monster have +10 adventage to hit player (lowest NAD) where +0 is where he need to roll 10 to hit (this NAD), so with +6...

    Yeah. The style of play is irrelevant to discussion! At least someone undersood that. And this is my point. When I played on paragon I was hitted on 3-4 on die, couse my barb REF was low. I was playing on epic and even well optimized chars were hitted offten. Man. Empirical data :) I didn't...

    Didn't I pointed you your arguments were wrong? The pure math crunch is done. The feats from PHB2 are here. They fit into gap making math good. About powers I wrote above. What any proofs you need more? People belive in religions withou proof, you have 3 here :) There are such a fets that make...
