    Does my paladin have any chance against monsters that grab?

    As mentioned, your defenses are unfavorable due to the DM not giving you at least the benefits of the expected minimum bonuses from the level equivalent magic items. Then going and throwing an 8+ monster at you...yeah, even a 1 may still have hit at that point unless the DM ruled that 1s are...

    Half-Elf Diletante Ability: Any Good Synergies?

    How about any Half-elf with 13 or more Wisdom? Claws of the Eagle Dilettante, with the feats Spirit Talker and Sudden Call. A very nice way to grant a Basic Attack(Ranged or Melee) to any ally, while making use of the square occupying Spirit Companion at the same time. Go a step further, and...

    The new, shiny "Stuff I Have/Would Ban" thread!

    Its just how powerful those things are. Any melee attack gets twice the amount of added damage, then if they spent a feat for a Weapon Focus. Same with the Bow version. Now if a DM dropped that to a +1/+2/+3 bonus instead of +2/+4/+6, then more people might start looking at other items. On...

    Blade of the Eldritch Knight?

    Such as Paladins and their Divine Challenge limitations, or possibly work it with their Ardent Strike to have two creatures in a range of 5 squares marked? It would be nice for a Paladin to be adjacent to the creature they challenge, and Ardent Strike another creature over by their ally five...

    Blade of the Eldritch Knight?

    Huh, would this work enchantment work with Commander's Strike? If so, Half-elves and Warlords may start to move this enchantment. Yelling at an ally from 5 squares away to make a basic melee attack is always a nice option. Especially as it leaves the off-hand open for another weapon, shield...

    What class for an Orc Shaman?

    Hmmm...Might not fit the Shaman title, but what about a style of Orc Occultist? Literally go with a cross between a Sorcerer and Cleric. Level 3 build... Feeblescheme Bhogbigg, level 3 Orc, Cleric|Sorcerer Sorcerous Power: Sorcerous Power Strength Hybrid Talent: Soul of the Sorcerer Soul of...

    Radiant Avenger/Student of Caiphon advice

    About Student of Caiphon needing Errata? Daggermaster is just as bad, if not more so, then Student of Caiphon. SoC forces the person to use Radiant powers/enchantments while Daggermaster forces the person to use Daggers as their weapon. Heh, I'll see the standard Half-elf cheese with a...

    Is Tiamat Beatable?

    I've been working on a build that could hopefully stand up to Tiamat for one encounter a day and has a chance at Bloodying Tiamat. It is Novaing it seems, but so far not so bad. The defenses are up to: AC: 60 Fort: 48 Ref: 53 Will: 53 With an additional +1 vs. the Breaths with Combat...

    Teleportation as forced movement: off a cliff?

    The group I've been in has just been using a rule in Falling for this. Specifically "Catching Yourself". When a player tries to teleport a creature into mid-air or over a pit, the creature can immediately make a saving throw to avoid the teleport. If the creature makes a successful saving...

    How to kill a blue dragon?

    @Opening Post There is one way to bring that Dragon down to ground level with a Warlock...at level 5. Say the young blue dragon flying around 20 squares up raining down Lightning Bursts. Just hope your party has a Half-Elf Warlock with stats of at least 14 Int and 18 Cha after Racials and has...

    Damage Per Round

    The data seems unfair, but when I can finally open that xlsx file I'll look over it and add in see. Seems, not is as I have not actually opened that xlsx file. Gotta update my OpenOffice in hopes of actually seeing it. Just a few ideas of what I hope to work in, vs. Def average from that post...

    Class Skills? How Many?

    So a person who MCs into Wizard can choose Arcana as his trained skill from the MC feat.

    I was curious about this one. Customer (WOLead) 06/29/2008 01:44 PM Do the teleportation bonuses from Eladrin Boots and Eladrin Armor stack? Response (Support Agent) 06/29/2008 02:25 PM Yes, these bonuses stack. Evan T.

    Why is Firestorm the best 19th level control spell?

    Why would you have to be in the midst of a group of monsters with Closing Spell? Yes, the spell is conditional, in the fact it needs to be the last Daily Spell available to use though. I just don't get why you say it has a less useful area? And for competing with a Cleric's survivability...

    Why is Firestorm the best 19th level control spell?

    Well, what about comparing Astral Storm to say, Closing Spell? Gained 9 levels earlier for choosing Battle Mage as your Paragon Path. Is there a reason Archspell or Spell Recall of Archmage won't work with Daily Spells gained from a Paragon Path? How about options with Meteor Swarm? Such as...

    Why is Firestorm the best 19th level control spell?

    I'm tempted to say that Evard's Black Tentacles is the better Controller spell between the choice of Evard's and Firestorm, especially if you have fighter style help. Firestorm does 5d10+Wis to an 11x11 area of enemies only, followed by 1d10+Wis damage when the enemy starts their turn in the...

    Shields useless for non-fighters?

    Shield of Deflection sounds like a good reason to grab either light or heavy shields as any class. 5 or 10 resistance to ranged attacks is a nice advantage to have, especially if you get hit by a ranged power that makes multiple attacks.

    Explain the Warlock to me.

    Don't forget the various "Sustain: Minor/Standard" Daily powers under the Warlock's command. At times, depending on luck and the roll of the dice, he can use the same power consistently against his targets. So while a Warlock's Daily might have less initial damage, Curse of the Bloody Fangs or...
