I'm not looking for OA's from the pets, the only source of OA's this character might have is from the Beast Protector feat, which was decided in another thread I posted about OA's, that you have to be in melee range to use--even with the Sharpshooter(or Seeker) PP...that thread is here...

Thanks for the suggestions, I knew a few classes had daily-type Powers that summon things but was wondering if any other classes had sustainable, dependable ones other then the 3 mentioned. For the character I'm building, 3 will probably be more then enough...but out of curiosity, and a nagging...

Ok, so I've been working on a ranged-combat character who has 3 'pets' to use as blockers, and can move them around as a defensive, mobile wall of sorts. A Hybrid Shaman/Ranger who Multiclasses as an arcane class to gain a Familiar as well. The MC class is probably going to be a Swordmage for...

...nevermind...

Thanks for pointing that one out for me, I guess I kept reading on past it in the MC feat list. I suppose it's a bit unnecessary though, since the verdict seems to be that the Seeker PP only works if you are already adjacent and able to make a standard OA before it allows you to make that OA...

Awesome...you know what, the fact that it provokes from everyone is perfectly fine by me. I think I actually like that idea better then performing ranged OA's myself--it will provide additional dmg-dealing opportunities for my allies and be more of a teamwork strategy. Still no answers on the...

Well yes, RAS does have associated powers. What I meant was that what I consider the best benefit of the feat is the knockdown effect, which isn't linked to any of the powers associated with it. It simply states that any and all criticals trigger the 'enemy gets knocked prone' effect. I do...

Forgive my ignorance, but what's a Blade of the Eldritch Knight? You mentioned Reach 5, is it a set that grants you extended polearm-like reach?

I don't believe the wording in the Threatening Reach explanation is a valid argument when applied to (possible) ranged Opportunity Attacks. How hard would it be for them to simply make the same, or similar, explanation in the Opportunity Attack main section itself. It's simply making sure that...

Ok, ok. So maybe our interpretations of RAS and OA's were incorrect. I keep saying our/we by the way because I'm posting on behalf of my entire dnd group, DM included, so saying my postings are 'my idiosyncratic interpretations' seems a little rude... So the only way someone would be able to...

Mneme, I respect your opinions but you haven't been very polite in your responses either...I'm trying to prevent this thread from turning into a flame-war, which it seemed like it was at the time...maybe I was wrong. Anyways... What Seven Fates Archer Path states verbatim is this: Opportunity...

Haha, nice. I don't have have much of anything constructive to add to this thread, but I just had to say that I really admire the spirit of the arguement expressed here =] Hope I don't get called a troll for it, but there it is, lol.

Well, I guess I forgot to state it above, but one solution to the limited Thrown Weapon selection that Seekers start with is to simply hybrid-class with something else that comes with more Weapon Proficiencies... I listed Ranger as an example because it could help with some of the...

I guess I really opened a can of worms here, lol. For those arguing against ranged OA's, the Seeker PP among others specifically state that you can do it. As for why, as it's been mentioned, classes who focus exclusively on ranged attacks, particularly Seekers who are known for their sub-par...

Too bad there isn't a way to increase your polearm reach beyond the standard 2 square reach...there isn't right? Cause that would be pretty awesome, lol. Atm, I'm thinking the optimal way to build this character is to focus on axes early on, getting the Reaving Axe feats to inject more OA's on...

Hmm...that's a bummer... So I guess the only way to have a non-throwing weapon function as one is via the Farbond Enchantment, if the GM even allows one to show up, lol.

I meant, do the weapon qualities other then it's dice size carry over when you throw it. As in, does it count as its weapon class (like axes for the Reaping Axe feats, or Heavy Blade with HBO), and carry over other qualities like high crit, brutal, etc. Or does the fact that it counts as an...

I'm reading straight from the Character Builder, so the book answer may be slightly different, but the wording of the Spirit Bond weapon-returning quality states that it works on ANY weapon you are proficient with, and doesn't mention anything along the lines of only working with Seeker Powers...

I know most of this thread has been discussion over the limited weapon selection throwing seekers have, but as for giving your seeker a bit of a damage boost, what about a Hybrid Ranger/Seeker that's using two thrown weapons with Twin Strike? Granted you would be giving up the chance to use one...

If she wants to insist on using an atypical throwing weapon, i.e. a Sabre or something, what are the rules on throwing weapons that aren't specifically 'thrown' weapons within the 4E rules? Someone mentioned above that they would drop down to a 1d4 Improvised Weapon, but the other...
