    A possible balance for INT

    I just seems unusual to me that having a high DEX and a high INT has absolutely no benefit for non-warlord/wizards. It seems like being smarter has to help an adventurer in some way no matter who he is just like everyone benefits from a high STR, DEX, or CON. INT, CHA, and WIS just seem...

    A possible balance for INT

    After running a mini campaign, kobold hall from the DM's guide and playing in a another round of that adventure I think INT is underpowered compared to DEX and that the rogue, along with most no wizard people, now have no use for INT. So here is quick proposed fix: At each odd INT bonus (so...

    KotS session 1 questions and comments

    My 2 cents on subduing, i am only allowing an enemy to be subdued by a basic attack with a -2 penalty to hit. I think subduing someone with a meteor strike or a super pissed off power slash of doom is ridiculous.

    I got an orc and a bunch of the hatchlings, I thought it would be funny if he were raising them as pets or something

    Healing Potions seem woeful

    That is the idea. Potions are not supposed to be these cheap awesome healing items or else whole armies would fight and heal for days on end with few to no casualties and the cleric and warlord would become less desired classes. By making potions weak it makes magical healing much rarer for...

    D&D 4E An in depth rules discussion on the mechanical problems and breakthroughs of 4e

    I agree with your list of breakthroughs Flaws 1. I completely agree especially with INT and DEX and CHA and WIS, at least STR and CON both provide obvious bonuses with to hit and damage and with hp and surges whereas DEX is for non wizards and warlords clearly the superior stat and CHA and WIS...

    Fighters have Psionics

    That was actually better than about half the flavor text for the figther and warlord.

    Ranger is the new monk?

    I am playing as a ranger right now in the KotS using my friends books from buy.com. I am an Eladrin and dual wield longswords with the eladrin soldier feat and I do tons of dmg but 2-3 hits from a monster and I am in trouble. I pumped STR to 18 so my DEX is a bit low at 15 and my CON is only...

    D&D 4E Obligatory dump stats in 4e: the irrelevance of Intelligence

    INT really needs a 2nd bonus since it is opposed to DEX which does provide a bonus to ranged attack rolls. STR and CON are opposed and each provides benefits other than saves WIS and CHA are opposed and each provides no real benefit other than the saves and skill governing. So out o fthe...

    But then he would be no good with a bow or light thrown weapon.

    Keep on the Shadowfells Questions!

    1. No, yes, a second wind is an encounter power that allows you to use a healing surge as a std action. 2. I don't know, I'll look more closely though 3. I think all powers with an effect need to hit for the effect to occur 4. Haha, good luck

    Build me a Halberd+Puffysleeves Gentleman.

    Landsknecht Pikenir for the polearm wielding men. I think a fighter kensai would work well just call the breastplate scalemail for now.

    Two handed weapons... *spoliers*

    I agree that the greatsword is weak, sadly so but I think the reach weapons will be useful

    speedy thing goes in, speedy thing comes out

    It should be, momentum should always be conserved if you use a large enough frame of reference

    Archer Fighters?

    The heavily armored soldier type of archer is a fairly different idea from the ranger type archer and is hard to do right now in 4e. I would recommend using a ranger and taking the armor proficiency feats or maybe being a fighter multiclassed as a ranger to get the extra hp and all.

    Torrent throwdown on the Wizards board

    The previewing is the primary advantage. I always buy a book I want and only play with stuff out of books that I or one of the guys in my group owns but I do like to look through a book first to see if it has anything I want in it that way I don't end up throwing away money on a book that I...

    What's broken/overpowered? What's weak?

    From what I've seen and heard the great sword is weak and half elves are a little weak in combat but can still be very useful in other ways. I am not sure about teleport. I think the warlord seems noticably weaker than the cleric as well but the warlord seems so cool so that almost makes up...

    May previews

    I like the idea of cheap 1 hp fodder, especially since the PCs will not know in advance what is fodder and what is not. That way they will hopefully burn some encounter powers on the minions.
