Ops... my bad! By Holy Weapon I meant Bless Weapon. I agree. If you want to put your strenght in good use and (again) depending on playstyle, you could also multiclass barbarian, getting Athletics to jump/climb when needed plus the pseudo-rage (+2 damage) for an encounter.

Correct. Your minimum weapon damage is 4. I love lawfull good dwarfs. I suggest getting: Basic Feats: - Weapon Expertise - self expanatory. - Toughness - As a heavy weapon user menacing defender you are likely to draw attention to yourself, and it makes perfect sense by the way, so I...

Hummmm so maybe would be helpfull to say "your minions" = "DM created weaklings". They are based on diferent concepts, not minions per se. I actually like to use "weaklings" from time to time as well, but minions mechanic is very specific, designed to make our life as a DM easier and bring...

If he is leaving the party yes. But I am under the impression that he wants to keep on playing. If I am mistaken its all good. But if I am not I would recommend against, becuse npcs were designed to have simplified combat stat blocks, thats it. Monsters are IMHO like wooden and pper fake...

I agreed. Plot/story based DM decision. If you want a better "balance point of view" opinion, this incentivates the group to not take rests and just chase the creature, becuse if the PCs recover... so may the creature.

Spend 1 of his many feats along the way to either multiclass or get Acrobatics. If you dont want your godly fighter to go splat, its an option, but at a cost.

Agreed. Most important: 1- downgrade his high defenses by at least 3-4 points. 2 - Downgrade his cloud so it obscures the area (heavy obscured in the best). Black dragon was extensively discussed in the forum, just search, there is a long talk about this creature. Have fun!

Fellows thank you for all the input so far, specially jontherev for his deep analysis. Maybe I will for human resoursefull, not shure about weapons and gear tho. I aways play humans, but this will be a 2-shot game so maybe I should try something unusual....not shure. The most natural...

I agree with the "problem" of the rider effects, but actually thats the best thing 4ed added in my oppinion (3.x ed = fighters hacking monster HP all the way... entire game). Some suggestions above were nice, but I think I prefer to mess less with the rules. I will use either [solo +...

Hahahaha Catwoman and Batman.

IMHO this is harsh. Too harsh. And whats wrong and irresponsable in not having an 08? So all fighters/paladins in your games are supposed to have int 08? All clerics with 08 dex? Well I respectfully disagree here. And I agree with Draco, but I would like to add: if you wants the Shielding...

The best advice without messing with any rules: make them fight for something other tham their lives. Examples: 1) They fighting to protect a village with 200 people (most of them minions tecnicaly) from a demonic horde or something. The creatures are not targeting the heroes, but common...

Good evening! Some time ago I asked for tips on 2 new chars I was building: a rogue and a warlord. I am still lost with the warlord. When I first read the books I was inclidned to build a simple Inspiring or Resourceful Warlord (roleplay reasons only), but many people suggested the Tactical...

I agree with you. Even if the warlord is using an attack power, he is not making the attack, his buddy is. So IMHO for every situation/effect the warlord is merely commanding. Lets say a rogue used riposte strike against a warlord. Our hero them smartly could use commanders strike to avoid...

I like the way its on Players Handbook plus flavor stuff from Monster Manual: ecology,vulnerabilities, powers etc (assuming DCs are beaten by trained characters). I think roles and minions/standard are too metagaminsh. In my opinion "danger looking" is also an horrible way to deal with it...

I would like to add something not mentioned yet by our colleges: I know the definition of "main hand" and "off hand" is really a loose one since you can attack with any of them - granted. But consider this: will your caracter use his "left hand" for all attacks while using a sword almost like...

In my opinion some cases would be harmless, but in may ones the synergy of diferent classes may increase the power. Basic example is the fighter with the wizard area attacks... Regards, Sage

Using a Maul, 3[w] damage power. Trick done. My friend you seem to be forgeting that many weapons have damage around 1d12, so its almost 2d6. A 3[w] Lasting Treat or Brute Strike (fighter powers ie. defender powers) does around the same trick. A Ranger Hunts End power do the same, plus crits...

Agree. Thats why minions are dungerous in numbers. Imagine if every single orc/uruk that attacked the Fellowship had the chance to seriouly crit? Poor Aragorn... ^^

My gamming group has an very original invoker: He is a Preserver Invoker of Ioun. He is a wizard-like old man and speciallyzes in knowlodge. In combat his presense means unexpected penaities for the bad guys, and the players is very happy, both roleplay-wise and tactically.
