    Ranged Defender: Doable?

    World Speaker Shamans (and to a lesser extent, Bear Shamans) make passable defenders. The world speaker's op attack that causes the move action to end is pretty cool IMO. Only downside is that the spirit's AC is usually pretty low.

    Polearms Quiz - how'd you do?

    16 also! 25% randomly guessed. Many of them I had an instant flash of inspiration along the lines of, "Oh, that's obviously such-and-such!" I haven't even thought of many of those since a friend and I did a 6th grade project on polearms back when the AD&D PHB came out. LOL.

    Shaman Healing Spirit + Feats question

    Can I get a page reference please? I just spent a bit of time looking over the RC and I can't find anything like that. Closest I can find is the following: a close power targets specific individuals within the power's area of effect. Is that what you were talking about?

    Shaman Healing Spirit + Feats question

    I disagree. There is no "target" requirement in the spirit boon description. "Any ally adjacent to your spirit companion regains additional hit points equal to your Constitution modifier when he or she uses second wind or when you use a healing power on him or her." I personally believe that...

    Valorous Smite in 3-D

    Nevermind. I was gonna say burrow counts too, but the ground would then be considered blocking terrain. . .

    D&D 5E What Should My Next Character Be?

    Another fun option for aiding a ranged ranger (or seeker/hunter) is to build a Watcher Spirit Shaman. Grants basic attacks like a warlord and the eagle spirit companion has a neat "defendery" schtick of granting a RBA when an adjacent enemy moves away.

    Monster recharge rolls at the end of the turn

    I personally LOVE the idea of putting a bit of fear into the players with your example of the dragon's belly glowing red hot. Only reason I can see to not allow this is that a creature might be granted an action outside its turn. I can't think of an example off hand, but there might be a case...

    Action Point usage

    This past weekend at my LFR table, On my turn, I declared that I was using my action point first thing. My intention was to gain the advantages that my Paragon Path granted for both this free action, the remaining actions this turn as well as the actions next turn. The DM said no way. You have...

    D&D Minis... Who is bumbed about the end of production?

    The young green is from the starter set and the huge green is from Legendary Evils I believe. I was going to post that another great looking cheap dragon is the Elder Iron, also from Legendary Evils, but it appears to be getting snapped up quick by DDM fans. I swear a few were for sale at both...

    Tips/Tricks/Rituals to "bless" new dice?

    When I need a new d20, I buy 2. I place them side by side, then smash one with a hammer. I then hug the other one. I like to keep my dice on their toes. j/k. I don't hug the other one.

    What non-"essential" characters do you play?

    I have a 5th level 2H Fighter w/ Execution Axe (how cliche. . .) and am seriously considering switching him to a slayer. My favorite right now is my 3rd level Protecting Shaman in LFR. The spirit companion is an awesome mechanic. Many DM's refuse to even attack it since they have to do 11 hp on...

    A Five Foot Vorpal Sword vs A Ten Foot Neck

    Cut the back of the neck (top?) and sever the spinal cord. Could probably do it with a vorpal dagger. . . Its all about the imagination anyway.
