THat's sorta how charging worked in the old "System which shall not be named lest I start an edition war threadjack" You double moved, then attacked. Charging is ok, but it has a lot of drawbacks - you only get to basic attack unless you have one of the special powers, its fairly hard to...

I've played a few published adventures so far in LFR, and a common theme is "Another adventuring party died doing this" so my guess is that level 1's don't last too long.

Wow, looks interesting. Note the suggested feats - I wonder what those do. Seems more of a teaser than a playtest. Not much we can break with only level 1 and 2 abilitities. Well, let it be said, I've been teased.

And the accounting nightmare would be ridiculous! Ok, so I have 15, you have 10, no wait, i saved one of them, so its only 10 for me and.... what about the cleric, did you get hit with one or two last round? Way easier to think in binary Off/On than to worry about how much and all that...

I don't see the problem here. If the spell actually created a pit, then there would be an issue. The spell creates the sensation of falling in a bottomless pit - an illusion. Just because it has wings, doesn't mean that such a powerful sensation has no effect on the enemy. I think its a...

Being superior weapon allows shurikens to push with ranged sly flourish attacks if you have the gladiator arena feat. That is the only reason I can see to use a shuriken.

Good call on the language bit. This only works on humanoids that speak the same language, so unless your interrogator can speak all the goofy languages.. not an issue. But yea, there seem to be a less lethal D&D now. VERY VAGUE SPOILER ALERT FOR LFR --- Some modules reward players for not...

Here is what I'd do: First, if its supposed to be truly impenatrable, then just say "Sorry, no, probably a forbiddence ritual. Roll arcana if you want to be sure" If its just "mostly impentatrable" then, lots of creative traps: Illusions - "Wow, that outcropping in that wall right up there...

Its only stupid HP land if we're at low levels being swarmed by minions. Otherwise, I'd say a shielding swordmage is better than battlerager about half the time.

The at will that does Rattling, that's pretty sweet. Everything else so far seems OK. (I haven't really studied it deeply) The acrobatics/athletics stuff sounds really really fun and cool and all, but nothing with a big "Wow" factor.

Its not a bad deal when I think about it, color printing is expensive and the cards look nice. It'd be nice if the format was a little bit deeper, but I"m a huge fan of power cards in general. I must admit I'm probably not one to use power cards for action points and healing surges, but...

Does it matter? The system is elegant and it works. I'd much rather be able to make stuff up on the fly, and have more leeway in even wounding rules, than have rulesy players say "No, according to splatbook X, wounds are exactly in this order and modifier x y and z apply" I'm happy that...

Thanks everyone for the great gaming! Thanks to Vyv for the morning game - that undead battle with the trap lined hallway took forever and probably should've killed us! Our poor fighter went through 9 surges that battle somehow, and spent most of the time unable to save end his stun :)...

Warlock seems least interesting/effective of all the strikers, and strikers seem least interesting of all the class rolls.

1. DM simplification 2. Player action siimplificatin (No more iterative attacks, no more millions of skill tables for complicated actions - saves tons of time) 3. Class balancing/clean slate. Overall, D&D is so much more approachable to new players, and the depth is still sort of there...

I really can't say enough about Disruptive Strike as a cleric grab. Sure, most of the ranger powers won't work, but ranger multiclass gives you a great skill choice (perception) and the utilities are really good too, getting huge bonuses form your higher wisdom. If its in flavor for how you...

Cool, I think that's a solid character concept. I just was asking to make sure we had enough melee fighters so our rogue can get all sneaky all the time via flanking. I think we've got a good party! I'm lookin' forward to gaming with you all very soon!

Do you plan on being up in the thick of it(melee/str build) or do you plan on using more ranged attacks? Just curious.

Cleric into Multiclass Ranger and take the level 4 feat as a Novice Power to get 1 shooty encounter skill :) We'll see how it pans out, it is sure to be fun!

I'm on the same page as you guys, but lets take a look at this from a financial perspective, i.e. what will help the kids out the most. There are some people who still think D&D is evil - they got spoonfed that idea through churches or mass media outlets (lets be honest, it isn't just...
