Another idea -- has your wizard considered using readied actions for single target attacks? So he wants to attack the single target you just knocked prone -- why not just ready an action to cast that spell after he stands up? All the better if his attack knocks the target prone again.

Claw Gloves would not present this problem if they either scaled up as many other magic items do or were common items. While you are at a level where you would not waste a magic item pick on a 4th level item, a 14th level improved version of this item would be another matter. Alternatively...

These feats only make sense for hybrid wizards -- and that is assuming that they never come up with a separate hybrid mage. Otherwise, they would only be of interest to a player who has been playing a wizard since before Heroes of the Fallen Lands came out and who for some reason does not...

I think you may be confusing a low IQ with a lack of common sense (usually reflected by a low wisdom rather than a low intelligence). Most player characters should have both strengths and weaknesses and be reasonably aware of both. A character's ability scores would suggest what sorts of...

In regard to gestalt sorcerers and a society where everybody is a sorcerer -- we don't have to assume that charisma has the same distribution in the population that it would in a normal game. I could easily see going with the assumption that the standard random roll for this attribute is 2d4+10...

What can you tell us about the Binder? How is the class structured? What is its basic schtick?

However, there is another way in which multiclassed characters are more flexible than standard characters. If you have taken one or more power swap feats, you can change each swap every time you gain a level -- and that is in addition to the single retraining that everyone else gets.

Never mind....

But I would bet it isn't free -- it probably will cost a feat. The main reason for labeling the 16th and 22nd level utility powers as "Rogue Utility X" is not to give Thieves a choice but to give standard Rogues the option to take these powers if they wish.

Let's see: Eladrin are simply elves who favor swords over bows and arcane magic over other pursuits. Tieflings are in the Pathfinder Bestiary. For Dragonborn, I would probably either start with the Dracha from Arcana Evolved or the Dragonblooded Human from the d20 Modern SRD (Urban Arcana...

There is also an Endurance based skill power in PHB3 called Third Wind, usable once per day.

Allegiances are part of d20 Modern, and I am pretty sure that you should be able to find its SRD with a quick Google search. Every alignment except True Neutral/Unaligned can be covered by Allegiances to some combination of Chaos, Evil, Good, or Law. Allegiances to organizations and other...

There are basically two really good options for dealing with a dominated creature: 1) Order him to run into hindering terrain (including over the edge of a cliff, if one is available). Best case, he dies. Worst case, he makes his save and falls prone just before entering the hazard. 2) While...

If level of complexity is measured by how many figures you can have on the board at one time, I would go with a hybrid ranger|artificer multiclassing into shaman and taking the Familiar Bloodsmith paragon path. You get a beast companion when you take the Hybrid Talent feat, a familiar when you...

I am inclined to go with this approach: The three initial items (level +1, level, and level -1) may be common or uncommon -- no rare items should be handed out before play. If you take an uncommon item, you may only take one of it -- no duplications. Starting money may only be spent on common...

The only earlier expertise feat that remains competitive with the expertise feats in Heroes of the Fallen Lands is Versatile Expertise, and then only if it is used to combine an actual implement with a weapon. Weapon Mastery (with pre-requisites of Weapon Expertise and Weapon Focus) used to...

I suggested removing a ring slot because it was the ring finger that was cut off. If the pinky was lost, I would only apply the adjustment penalty. Note that you can extrapolate this sort of thing too far -- the logical penalties for losing a thumb, whole hand, or entire arm might well make a...

If I were running that game, the penalties I would go with would be equivalent to a death penalty (-1 to all checks that require the use of the hand that lost a finger until the character has reached 3 milestones or had 3 extended rests) to reflect adjusting to loss of finger plus loss of one...

Unless I have missed something, the rule limiting daily magic item uses is on death row but has not yet actually been executed. One of the developers announced that the rule would be taken out and shot, and none of the Essentials books mention it, but the deletion of that rule has yet to show...

Since the first thing the Character Builder does when it starts up is check for updates, an easy way to take care of that would be to store the last time it did that, connected to the Wizards server, and got a positive response of "Yes, you are a subscriber". When the date/time stamp on that...
