I'd just like to point out that each monster has it's own turn, thus each moves on it's own turn therefore provoking an arrow from you for each monster as you have an OA / turn. If a controler monster somehow told 2 of his minions to move through a power than you'd only get one shot off. But if...

Windrise backgrounds stipulates class-specific multiclass feats, thus carefully discluding weapon multiclass feats. If I am wrong I'll admit it, but the background does have this stipulation.

riding a mount doesn't require you to attack with it. You can still do all your clericy things and simply use it to replace your movement and have an extra target to get pelted instead of you. With the giant riding lizard he attacks when you do, thus you get to do whatever you wanted and the...

Uber healing is a kalashar cleric with Mark of Healing, Healer's Implement, Potent Restorables, Beatific Healer, Healer's brooch, medic's dagger, Mace of Healing, and Gloves of the Healer using astral seal for an at-will heal of godly amounts that doesn't require a healing surge. That's uber...

you learn something every day.

You have it. W/o Mounted combat you don't have access to the attacks nor the special abilities/properties a mount offers. the nice thing is that if you have heavy armor on and thus reduced speed, being mounted alleviates this limitation. The downside is that the mount is included in blasts and...

I agree with you for the average PC, but if you want to really crank out the damage twin strike, white lotus master riposte, wizard's fury, Eladrin swordmage advance, Spitting cobra stance, Rain of blows, Storm of blows, and quicksilver stance are the bread and butter of many optimization...

I do not wish to detract from the purpose of this thread, but simply to offer a nice idea proposed to me. If you have a rules lawyer, there's a high chance they are also a power gamer trying to get their way. Ask the power gamer to create 5 characters level X as optimally as possible using...

I was meaning the +2 to a skill or make a skill a class skill or additional language. This isn't total fluff, but small enough to never be broken. The worst thing that can happen is that the PC picks up perception (one of the best skills to be trained in) and still have to allocate one of...

You might offer your dwarf friend some rushing cleats(level 2 feet slot) as he can then shift 1 square away after the charge so he can shifty-chargey each round w/o provoking OAs.

Backgrounds are much like the DM giving everybody weapon/implement expertise for free. Since everybody has it everybody has equal access to the cheese they offer. The PHB2 backgrounds are a balanced way of permitting the fluff of backgrounds while maintaining a no-cheese game.

PHB 192 clearly states that untyped bonuses stack with themselves. I don't have AV2, but from where I read it it was untyped, thus stacks. If it is an item bonus then it is a nice balanced item. If there's a place that says that bonuses from the same source don't stack please enlighten me, but...

I'd like to second the option of simply charging another foe as the monster who bubbled you removed his threatening squares. This is extremely effective coming from a monster with threatening reach.

One item that seems unballancing is Barrage Bracers (level 10 arm slot) Property: when you hit with a melee attack you get a +1 bonus until end of your next turn against the same target. The thing that's unbalancing here is the exponentially growing attack bonus with the number of attacks...

Dragon 376 p. 48 has a background that lets you take class-specific multiclass feats for 2 classes. Thus a non-bard can be a member of 4 classes through this and hybridding.

It's not hard at all Swordmage hybrid works well with eladrin +2 int cha 16 starting off works well with paladin and easily passes requirements for warlock MC str 13 for fighter MC Then just pump int and cha all the way. The only sucky thing is that all secondary attribute powers (powers that...

For me a striker is defined as a mindset and effectiveness at taking out monsters. Base fey charger standard stuff: Eladrin Belongs to the swordmage class to get eladrin swordmage advance belongs to the fighter class to get fey charge so he can use his feystep to replace a charge's movement...

Would you like me to summarize how each class brings a different twist to the feycharger? I don't feel this is detracting from the theme of the thread.

I would have voted for the feycharger but that wasn't an option. The highest DPR I've seen was from the sorcerer feycharger coming in at 460 DPR. Yes that's DPR not nova damage. Some flavors I like are swapping out hybrid swordmage for hybrid ranger and doing MC swordmage so I can use spitting...

Biting volley, ranger level 7 encounter has 2 attacks and crits on 18-20 Mage's weapon to expend arcane encounter power(attack and utility) to refresh martial encounter power of equal or lesser level so you can get these martial crit powers often.
