    Weapon Proficiency Question

    I think you're making the wrong comparison. Take a paragon lvl Wisdom Based Melee Character Dwarf/Human/Elf all get the same bonus to attack. Dwarf Spends for Dwarven Weapon prof Elf Spends for Weapon Superiority and Weapon Focus The advantage of the dwarf with the war axe/execution axe is...

    Weapon Proficiency Question

    No, he won't. He will have the same damage bonus but be suffering a penalty of 1 to attack. The dwarf fighter that starts with 18 str is the human fighter that starts with 20. +1 str=+1 att and dmg. Negating the dwarven weapon proficiency bonus. The real difference between the dwarf and the...

    Ranger Balance

    Compare to a brutal rogue with 20 dex, 16 str, and a rapier +8[1 higher than the ranger] vs Reflex[def on average 2-3 lower than AC] Dmg of 1d8+5+3+2d6 = 19.5 avg Hits Ref of 13(2 lower than target AC from ranger) on a 5 or higher, a 80% hit rate. So avg dmg is 16.025 Backstabber+dagger is...

    OPPORTUNITY ACTION Doubts - Help

    Considering that a charge ends your turn anyway, and a delay action resets your initiative lower than it would be had you readied i would say that the ranger was not robbed even though he should have, given the delay action, technically gotten more attacks. In short, there was a way to do it...

    D&D 4E Is there a compiled Broken 4e Bits?

    It also feels very thematic to Tempus who has this "honor" thing going. He can't let his believers fight at a disadvantage when some baddie breaks the mold.

    Can you use forced movement abilities on allies?

    Not only can you do this, but its encouraged. Evidence: See "Agile Opportunist" from Martial power. Whenever you're pushed, pulled, or slid adjacent to an enemy you may make an opportunity attack against that enemy. When you combine this with the ability of a wizard to push "up to x", and the...

    Proposal: Time Gold

    "magical items can be dangerous. Adventurers rarely know the full effects of those things they find and while many of them turn out to be safe when in capable hands, the few that do not can cause such damage intentional or otherwise. Because of this, and to ensure that no man is shortchanged by...

    LEB Discussion Thread '09

    Have you considered myth-weavers? Example Sheet from a 13th lvl Dwarven Fighter Or does that not have enough space? The gold/time works if its just gold/xp, but it doesn't work if it includes DM's giving out treasure in any fashion except in that same ratio. The question of "what to do if DM's...

    Proposal: Time Gold

    But it would, because over the course of most adventures players do not receive wealth in a straight line based on experience gained in the adventure. It varies. Over the course of level 1 a party of 5 would expect to gain a level 5 item a level 4 item a level 3 item a level 2 item an enough...

    Proposal: Time Gold

    How so? The main problem is that there is a difference between experience and item wealth when leveling comes from methods other than DM granted experience. The problem with a flat reward is that it is required over the course of a level that some people gain more wealth than others, DM's would...

    Proposal: Time Gold

    It might be easier to simply acquire wealth equal to the difference of your current wealth to that of your expected wealth once or twice per level at the players choosing. That way players don't have to worry about being left out of treasure parcels and DM's don't have to worry as much about...

    A Few simple questions (Im new to DND)

    1. Secondary Target just means that it does not have to be the same target as the primary. It can be the same, or can be different. It will specify in the target line. if it does not, [or you're using two different powers] then the secondary target can be anything. 2. 1d20+Athletics+5, the...

    Longsword finesse, wait wuh?!

    You've got to be doing something wrong, and its that you multiplied the first by 19/20 and not 18/20 Expression 1 - Expression 2 = -2/20 * (1d4+16+3d8) +2/20 (4+16+24+3d6) = 2/20 * (4+16+24+3d6-1d4-16-3d8) = .1 * (4+24+3d6-1d4-3d8) = .1 * (4+24+10.5-2.5-13.5) = .1 * (29) = 2.9 So Dmg...

    Clerics & Co. are Not MAD

    That approach leaves characters generally 2 +to-hit in the hole Typical would be 4 or 5 and a +1 at 5,8,12,15,21,25,28. Due to stat increases and expertise

    D&D 4E Is there a compiled Broken 4e Bits?

    Why? Its not like its confusing, its just a daily power with the tag "You may only use one channel divinity power per encounter"

    D&D 4E Is there a compiled Broken 4e Bits?

    A standard action is quite different, but its also an encounter power, which is why changing RRoT to a daily makes sense.

    D&D 4E Is there a compiled Broken 4e Bits?

    Auto-crits are already in the game [PHB1 Cleric Pargaon Divine Oracle lv 11 encounter(std action, but works on any hit you or your allies land)] i don't think its that bad as a daily

    D&D 4E Is there a compiled Broken 4e Bits?

    +6.5 dmg 1/encounter isn't that strong. Its not bad, but its not great, and you give up any other channel divinity at the same time AND a feat. Consider that with a 18 base starting strength divine strength is +4 already and will be about even by early paragon 18-20 crit range adds, lets say...
