For that matter, the Swordmage writeup says your third priority should be the stat you didn't use of Str and Con. Using standard array (yes, I know), I come up with: STR - 13 CON - 14 DEX - 11 INT - 16 WIS - 12 CHA - 10 Sure, I could drop Cha to 8 and boost Dex to 13, but to what point? So I...

And my Shielding Swordmage would like to spend them on Con. In which case, my Dex doesn't matter, since I think everything except light blades requires Str also, which I won't have. And it gets worse if I was planning on taking Wandering Swordmage, since it uses Wis...

Which proves my point all the more, I'd think.

So, Assault Swordmages. Because they're the only ones who'll be pumping Str. Shielding Swordmages likely won't have higher than 13 Str.

Many of those feats are for say, the fighter, who dumps Int instead of Dex. It doesn't come up. The swordmage suffers from the problem that he's a wizard who carries a sword. You naturally want to take feats to help you use a sword better, but that doesn't work very well. A swordmage's most...

You know, as much as I like the class, it seems kinda awkward at times. I'm wondering if that was on purpose. For instance, they can't easily learn weapon-based feats. Most of these require Dex (light blade), Dex and Str (heavy blade), Str and Con (blunt and axes), etc. A Swordmage's main...

Stuff like Astral Fire doesn't give a double bonus if you use Radiant and Fire, so why would this?

I believe Blademaster only works on basic melee attacks. Any Assault Swordmage is still going to want STR for his powers.

I've heard the Adventurer's Vault has a couple of Radiant weapons.

I also liked that sheet. Super-useful looking. Could you put up the editable version, please?

Matt's answer made sense to me. If you don't have to wield an Implement to get it's passive abilities, you could just leave it in your backpack. To get the benefits of it's powers, you must take it out and be wielding it. (But you don't have to be using it with a power. You really just have...

Magus disagrees. And if you discount the time travel (and the fact he's 10x cooler than any Tiefling) he even has a similar background.

Great, now I'm going to be thinking of the Bazaar through all my 4e games now.

So, what exactly does the feat to give Swordmages a spellbook do? Or more accurately, what does a spellbook do for someone besides a Wizard?

They have a new excerpt up for Swordmage. It only has two powers we haven't seen before, a level 27 and 29 one. Everything else is just the At-Wills.

Hm, it's like Final Fantasy. (No wait, don't run away yet.) Do you know how many of those have had a item duplication glitch? Yet just because I've never used, or even encountered said glitch does not make it cease to exist.

Not bad. ----- Str 16, Con 13, Dex 13, Int 18, Wis 12, Cha 8 Promise of Storm (Racial Encounter) Booming Blade (At-Will) Sword Burst (At-Will) Flame Cyclone (Encounter) Frost Backlash (Daily) Weapon Proficiency (Bastard Sword) ----- I hoping for a lot more Thunder/Lightning keyword powers in...

Unless it's a level 30 power, because then you take 30 damage. But yes, very broken, especially at say, level 1. And HOLY.. oh jeez, Twofold is even more broken. It says "You gain the at-will and pact boon of both pacts." So when multiclassing, that looks like it would give you two extra...

You can also multiclass into Warlock and take Twofold Pact as a Tiefling. And it gives an At-Will and pact boon, which the MC feat does not. Which means for your MC pact, choose the one you don't really want that much (but not want least) and then take Twofold Pact and pick the Pact you really...

I'm against that feat, not because of balance, but because of it's requirements of Tiefling and Warlock. I can accept a Racial feat, and I can accept a Class feat... I cannot accept a Racial Class feat.
