    Eldritch Blast + Fox's Cunning?

    Well with Unbalancing Parry, there is a way to take a bit of an advantage with it. Provoke an Opportunity Attack on your turn before you attack and hope it misses. Then you have Combat Advantage for your attack, and the next turn's attack. Its got nothing to do with Fox's Cunning and Eldritch...

    Stealth in Combat

    Eh, I would think... Standard Action Perception Check: Trying to spot everything/anything that may be hidden from view, whether you are aware of it or not. Minor Action Perception Check: Trying to spot one object/person that you are aware of.

    Eldritch Blast + Fox's Cunning?

    No, Eldritch Blast is a basic attack. Specifically a ranged basic attack. The weapon thats needed for using Fox's Cunning would be a dagger, fist, kick, or other improvised weapon. Instead of using the weapon for the basic attack, you use Eldritch Blast instead.

    Humans - Human Perseverance +1 Warlocks - Fate of the Void +1 or with Improved Fate of the Void +2, Cumulative Ring of Protection - +1 Bloodthread Armor - (0 or less = Bloodied) +2 Power that grants a Saving Throw with bonus: [Must be either used on you from an outside source] Cleric/Paladin...

    Dragon article -- Class Acts: Wizards

    Your call as a DM, Larac. Fits rather well and does make sense in that form.

    How to improve Dragonborn Senses Feat?

    It also has a nice side effect with Death Saving Throws as well. 1-8 for worsen, 9-18 for no change, and 19-20 for being able to use a Healing Surge and get back up again. Rather then needing a 20. A Human wizard with Bloodthread Armor[Cloth](+2 to Saving Throws when Bloodied), Human...

    The Monk -- a Martial Controller

    1)Eh, I was going by the blurb in the PHB. "Controllers deal with large numbers of enemies at the same time. They favor offense over defense, using powers that deal damage to multiple foes at once, as well as subtler powers that weaken, confuse, or delay their foes." Lacking the defense of long...

    How to improve Dragonborn Senses Feat?

    Nor can you hold a Heavy shield or two weapons with a Sunrod needing a free hand to be held in on top of the lack of Stealth. It takes a Warforged to "hold" a Sunrod or Lantern without actually holding one. Edit: Or two-hander as well?

    Fighter damage dealing potential...

    Some math done on the average damage from the weapons. Average Damage on a Falchion is 5 per [W]. Average Damage with a Vorpal Falchion and Gauntlets of Destruction is 9 per [W]. Average Damage with a Bastard Sword is 5.5 per [W]. Average Damage with a Vorpal Bastard Sword and Gauntlets of...

    My take on the fourth warlock paragon path

    Ah, I didn't catch that the level 20 power interacted with the level 11 power that well. I'll leave that one in your hands then. As for the name, Pact Shyster isn't Medieval enough, I agree. It was just the closest I could come up to what the Flavor text resembles while being similar to the...

    The Monk -- a Martial Controller

    Balance wise through the features, the Monk can do too many options too easily. It looks almost as if you were setting up a Martial Striker rather then a Martial Controller. Strikers focus on damage on one foe at a time, while a Controller deals slightly less damage to many creatures at the...

    Death Saving Throws - Make a save = You live?

    Very true I didn't even catch that myself, but what can modify a Saving Throw versus Death or simply a Universal modifier to Saving throws? The ones I can think of are: Human Perseverance for +1 Fate of the Void for +1 or with Improved Fate of the Void +2 per activation Ring of Protection for...

    My take on the fourth warlock paragon path

    Balance wise, I can't see a problem personally. Just a few things though. Cursed Action doesn't make much sense outside of a MC. There is already a feat at the Paragon Tier that allows a Warlock to curse two enemies at a time, Twofold Curse. Pact Changing: Change the following line from...

    D&D 4E 4e Convert of Warlock's Hideous Blow

    An attempt to convert the Hideous Blow from 3.5e Warlock into an equivalent for 4e. I'm attempting to keep it from being overpowered and fitting into the current theme, while being useful. The hard part is that I can't make it an At-Will to be chosen at the first level, due to Pact...

    How to detain an Eladrin Rogue? ie, teleporting

    Slap a pair of Dimensional Shackles on the Eladrin Rogue, and place the entire area under a Forbiddance Ritual. That should stop any teleporting if the Eladrin somehow gains line of sight in some fashion. Fortunately, the teleport is not At-Will but per Encounter.

    Scale Mail Armour Check?

    Don't rule out Chain so easily. While inferior in both AC and has -1 to skill check and speed as a penalty, the Chain only Magic Armors are nothing to scoff at. 2 Deal with healing, better for Leader types. One deals with buffing a targeted defense by 2 until the end of an encounter. So you...

    Stealth in Combat

    Oh and a little something for people saying that an ally could warn another so they spot the hidden striker easily. "He's right in front of you! Get him!" Did you have to take a few seconds to see him? Roll Perception Check. =-) The picture even tries to give him away.

    Stealth in Combat

    Two that directly helps a Warlock being concealed. Level 2 Utility, Shadow Veil. Grants a +5 Bonus to Stealth Check rolls until the end of your next turn. Level 7 Fey Pact's Mire the Mind's additional Stealth Bonus equal to the Int modifier for only you until the end of the Encounter, while...

    Stealth in Combat

    Shadow Walk does not cause the square the Warlock is in to become Obscured. It causes the Warlock to gain Concealment. These are two different things. Obscured squares causes Concealment, but Concealment doesn't cause obscured squares to pop up. This is further supported by the Warlord's new...

    Warlocks, Shadow Walk and Concealment (not Stealth)

    Bwah? Where are you getting those statements from? Obscurement is an outside source that blocks a PC's or NPC's view, such as fog, rain, ect. The only spell I can think of that makes obscurement is Sudden Storm. Obscurement causes Concealment, Concealment does not cause Obscurement...
