Funny, listening to Armored Saint right now. Love John Bush now that he's back with them. Sorry for the off topic post, but it's good to see that name. :)

Same. It's the coolest striker in 4e, imo (pursuit specifically). It's also fun watching the DM cry when you get an artillery, controller, lurker, or skirmisher cornered and force them to stand toe to toe with you (Avengers are very tough), or run away and make you hit even harder. The danger...

You need to add "Keep your realism out of my fantasy". :)

Looks ok for a solo game, but would probably be underpowered in a regular game. Damage seems really low unless it has a lot of prep time. Sent from my Droid using Tapatalk

I don't dislike the idea of Essentials. I dislike the idea that only the martial powers got stripped of almost all tactical options, while the wizard retains its complexity, if not mroe so. The Mage is no easier to play than the PHB1 wizard. If the mage had been a simple blaster with spells...

Not liking options is fine. The trouble I have is that they only really neutered the martial classes for options, while the wizard lost nothing. Sent from my Droid using Tapatalk

Very easy to get ranged CA as a phb1 rogue. Deft Strike + stealth, Distant Advantage, Fey Beast Tamer, and a whole bunch of powers which cause the enemy to grant CA. To answer the OP, Blackguard and Pyromancer . Sent from my Droid using Tapatalk

Yes, this is exactly what I meant. Specifically, the martial classes. They're my favorite classes in O4E, and my least favorite in Essentials. Definitely make sure the entire group is on board, because if they feel the same way as me, it might not end well. A DM announcing Essentials only would...

I'd miss having martial classes that actually have options instead of being railroaded into a cookie cutter build.

It eats up your MC slot, which can be pretty severe (no Fighter MC, which is awesome). If you don't mind that, it's ok. I'd rather just wield 2 rapiers and keep my MC option open.

Shadow is one of the most powerful sources one can wield. It's the power over Darkness, which triggers our most primal fear... the fear of the unknown. So, yes, Shadow deserves to be a power source. As much as any "element" would, anyway.

Strikers tend to do a lot more than just "I do damage", though. They play very differently, and all seem to vary greatly in their tactical options. The rogue is best at hit and run tactics, while the Avenger functions best if it is singling out an enemy striker (controller, artillery, lurker...

Fighters can very easily be comparable to strikers with 2h weapon talent. Also, there is a pure striker fighter... the Slayer Roles are not straight jackets. Sent from my Droid using Tapatalk

What exactly does v20 contain? I mean, is it VTM with the streamlined nWoD rules? Or is it just errata to the oWoD rules? I'd love to see it done with the new rules. Sent from my Droid using Tapatalk

Well, that's not quite what I meant. The Red Box just didn't really lead into Essentials options as it should have. Since it was considered part of Essentials... you should have been able to take your Red Box character and continue advancing it using HotFK or HotFL. As it was, the Red Box...

It wasn't really compatible with Essentials anyway, so it doesn't surprise me.

Not sure if it has been mentioned or not, but I'd like to see ability scores linked to class instead of race. Or reworked completely (or eliminated).

Every square has to take you closer to the target.

First, major thread necro. Second, you only need total concealment to make the initial stealth check. After that, regular cover and/or concealment will allow you to remain hidden. You can stealth as a part of any movement. It just says that it's usually at the end of a move action. To quote...
