My take on the topic... Here is my take on the topic. It borrows heavily from Rangers, but opens the door for any class to gain a companion. The feat cannot be used to gain a second companion. The companion you gain is definitely skewed towards being Martial (see below), and the Paragon Path...

Here is an approach that may provide a well-balanced alternative. It provides an opportunity to choose to have a more precise attack in exchange for less damage. Opportunistic Precision Feat Heroic Tier Prerequisite: Rogue, Artful Dodger When making a melee basic attack against a foe granting...

On todays Ask Wizard Q&A, the question was "My warlock has the Sneak of Shadows multiclass feat but is already trained in Thievery; can I pick a different skill from the rogue class?" The response was: "No. If you already have the skill you would gain by taking a multiclass feat, you do not...

I use Microsoft word to create them, and then render it to an image. I should check out the monster creators, but it is fun to lay them out nicely :)

Here is a BBEG that I created for a campaign: I posted a little more detail about him on my blog, but basically the design phase was to: - Figure out the theme - Figure out the big bang effect (Dark Summoning) - Provide some leader capability (Necromantic Surge) - Give him some way to slow...

I host them on my webserver then click the image button in the post editor and add the url. Monster creator? Where is that? Is it a free tool?

Icky The moment I thought of zombies I thought, hey, what happens if a zombified eladrin teleports.. err teleburst? Thus was born the Rotten Feywalker: The Rotten Feywalker is a zombie that was created from an Eladrin. Flickering between the Feywild and the World, these creatures walk both...

Some Suggestions Here is a bit of an overhaul, but a touch more balanced. What do you think? Engineer ----- Role: Controller Power Source: Martial; Your alchemical and technical expertise grants you the ability to dominate the battlefield, though some of your powers make striker a natural...

The Spirit of 4e There are three main things to consider when designing powers: Role - what is the role of the class, and what should this classes tactics be round-by-round (generally speaking). If you are a controller you should probably be dealing crowd-clearing and status effects, if you...

Yes, it is unbalancing. Consider the epic Martial Power feat "Whirlwind Sneak Attack", which allows you to deal Sneak Attack to all targets of a power that you have combat advantage over. Applied to the Level 23 power Steel Entrapment, and with Backstabber it becomes Close Blast 5, 3[W] + 5d8...

hmm..

I agree that it only applies when a ranged attack is made with a thrown weapon or with a sling. The following flavor text from the ability in the PHB supports this:

This sentence really clarifies the difference between a thrown and melee weapon. As a DM I would rule that if a weapon has a range increment listed in its source, it is designed as a thrown weapon, otherwise it is not; for clarity, this does not apply to projectile weapons. Under that...

+1 racial bonus on attack rolls with thrown weapons and slings. The only core weapons that are thrown weapons are Daggers, clubs, short spears, spears, darts, javelins, throwing axes, light hammers, tridents, shuriken, and nets, although several splat books add thrown weapons. Unless it is...

This whole discussion gets to the core of role-playing. The books present a set of rules that are used to outline the mechanics of the game. Although I have only been playing 3.5 for a little while, when I started, I read each of the Core Books (MM included). The reason is pretty simple; as a...
