    Gamers Seeking Gamers - now with interactive search and map!

    I checked the page again, Googlemaps was being blocked due to privacy settings, I can't turn those settings off on the machine i'm using at the mo but I'm going to try again on some other machines. I only noticed this because of the little eye icon that appears on the bottom of IE. I'm not...

    Gamers Seeking Gamers - now with interactive search and map!

    I had some other options come up when I tried the other link your provided, information about the game, age group but I couldn't see the map at all. I'll have to try logging out later.

    To Mike Mearls: Melee training and the Battlemind

    Mike didn't say anything like that at all, he said they're looking at other options for people who like MBA's but don't use Str. Gandalf is loosing a few points of damage on a charge, he can still charge if he needs to. Not that charging is a prime concern for wizards in the first place.

    Gamers Seeking Gamers - now with interactive search and map!

    I have the same issue as nerfheader on two different computers. No map and I only ever see this search bar which does nothing, about to try it again on a third computer, still no luck.

    No one at GenCon got a look at Shield Finesse?

    It's more significant if you're already running around in plate armour, it basically gives you the use of a Heavy Shield without penalty.

    To Mike Mearls: Melee training and the Battlemind

    I do wonder if we'll see these kinds of feats for other classes or if IB will nerfed itself. I do think Melee training was too centric to many power builds that this change makes sense irrespective of the release of Essentials. AFAIK, IB is a very different case to Melee Training though...

    Fighter Slayer preview

    I doubt the Warlord will become a Defender, but the Druid becoming a Leader makes a lot of sense. The Slayer can only take Fighter powers, without the marking and punishment, the class isn't a defender and the powers are just weapon powers.

    Fighter Slayer preview

    If this Slayer can function as a Ranged striker, what's the essential Ranger going to be like?

    Dark Sun Encounters: Sub-Par Characters

    First off, you can play a Ranger without Twin Strike fairly well Lastly, I do wonder if the sub par characters was semi-intentional as Dark Sun is meant to be a harsh environment and running from the goblins makes perfect sense.

    What makes a controller a controller?

    Well, you didn't really expand on your own concept. I had that idea for a martial controller, melee as an Iaido master and ranged as just some bow guy / marksman I focused on the Iaido master build first as that's what I really wanted to play at the time and made a bunch of immediate powers...

    No buzz for the 2011 Campaign Setting?

    I'd like a PoL book as well, considering the core book is based on it and that most adventures are based in it, it's odd that they haven't put out a book for it yet. So it'd be nice to get a book on it. However, I don't know if we'll see any other full on campaign books after Darksun unless...

    What makes a controller a controller?

    I don't even know what to quote right now, you're just missing the point. A Cleric is there to lead. A Controller is there to control. Firestorm, the example power you used, is not a strong Controller power, it's just an AOE that does damage and it's not a strong Leader power either. The...

    What makes a controller a controller?

    Cleric uses Fire Storm, enemy moves out of it. End of Control, Cleric has no further control. Cleric doesn't have Fire Storm because he wanted a Leader power, Cleric doesn't control, cleric has no further control. Cleric uses Fire Storm, Wizard uses Web and/or Thunderwaves and/or Ray of...

    D&D 4E No more reprints of the 4E core books?

    I've never heard of Mana Nation until they received this "tip". Not entirely sure why Mana Nation was "tipped" about this and not say... someone significant, is beyond me. Stopping the print of the PHB and other books makes no sense. Especially if 2011 is supposed to carry on as normal...

    What makes a controller a controller?

    I should've stated that the Controller uses daze to help other's with their role rather than to perform in that capacity themselves. i.e. the Wizard dazes so an enemy has a harder time ignoring the defender, so the striker can hurt that target or to help the group attack against that target...

    What makes a controller a controller?

    I will echo this, expand on it and add something else. The Controller's job is to do whatever helps his allies win, but often with a focus on how the enemy is working against what party is doing. Using a daze power as an example: The other roles will often use a daze power with their own role...

    L4W Discussion Thread V

    That's great to know, thanks. I like the divine classes but rarely like deities, so I often reflavour divine classes to be something else.

    How can I quickly teach someone else to effectively play a warlord?

    If you want her to use a straightfoward Warlord character, Inspiring and sticking to the PHB is actually okay. 1) Pick out powers that mention CHA and gain a benefit from CHA, mentioning inspiring pressence is also good but not essential. Get her to take those powers. 2) Her at-wills are...

    L4W Discussion Thread V

    As a potential new player, the campaign information on the main wiki is poorly arranged, making it a difficult chore to get information on the campaign setting. That complaint asside, I do have a question: Q) What are the limits of reflavouring classes, are classes expected to be presented at...
