The situation: Suppose a character takes the Pact initiate feat and a subsequent power swap feat. Now let's suppose that the character chooses to take a warlock power that has additional affects for a warlocks of the pact the character chose when taking the Pact Initiate feat. (For example...

One of the difficulties I'm having in trying to evaluate the balanced nature of this power is that the four comparison powers seem poorly balanced among themselves. In particular, the Iron Vanguard's Indominitable Strength seems significantly weaker than the other three. The other three...

Well, let's compare FoS to the other four Fighter PP 20th level exploits. Still operating under the assumption that our typical 20th level fighter's healing surge value is 37, that he's wielding an oversized Maul (9 average damage per [W]), 23 Strength (+6), and a +4 enhancement on his weapon...

I've been trying all day to think of an appropriately witty response. No luch though. Maybe add a third line: But his comments are not wit.

Good catch. That's what I was thinking - I just need to get my fingers to type what my brain is telling it to. ;) Isn't a healing surge equal to 1/4 of your total hit points, rather than 1/2? Or am I way off base here. If you're right, and it's 1/2, then you're absolutely right - that's way...

Woo-hoo! My first double post. :)

Okay, I can't figure out why I got those three "double quote box" dealies up there (when I quoted Iron Grip, Scything Assault, and Force of Spirit.) I've tried to get rid of them, but can't figure out how. Everytime I go in to delete the extra quote tags, they pop back up when I submit the...

Looking through your original 3.5 version of the class, a few things stood out: Knock Them Senseless has a nice daze effect and Crescent Strike has a nice push effect. With that in mind, let me take another look at your features and powers: I don’t see any need to change this at all...

Hrm, I know that this PP's schtick is going to be doing massive damage with his massive blades, but that may be a bit much. Consider that an oversized Maul does 2d8 damage (9 average), and that you can expect a 20th level Fighter to have a 23 Strength (+6), 37 point healing surge, and a +4...

Looking at the powers: Scything Assault seems too powerful. Close burst 1 for 3[W] damage simply out-classes all the other fighger pp level 11 powers. I'd think that reducing it to 1[W] and adding a status effect (maybe stunned? slowed?) would be a good thematic fit. I just realized that...

Just looking at the class features (I'll take a closer look at the powers in a minute) I had two thoughts. First, is there a "Total Defense Action" in 4E? I can't recall. Second, neither of the 11th-level features are triggered by using an action point, which seems to be a universal aspect of...

That sounds excellent! Kudos for doing this. I'm assuming this will be in a searchable format? If so, then make it as comprehensive as possible. If not, well, I'm still a fan of as comprehensive as possible. Basically, my vote is for comprehensive. :) Not a waste of space at all...

That's an interesting way to go about doing. One problem though - how would you deal with Humans?

I'd prefer to play 4E, but I'm open to pretty much anything.

More substantive response: I think that there are two different aspects of "completeness" that are being discussed here. One aspect has to do with the system itself - does the game provide the structure and rules necessary to play? The answer to this is, to me at least, clearly yes. You...

Minor nitpick - there are four Paragon Paths for each class (except the Warlock, which only has three.)

Interesting idea...while I understand how a character would use a shield to attack someone, how would they use their armor?

This tool is great! Looks like it will be quite useful. I did run into a few oddities though: -There doesn't seem to be a "no shield" option -I think the reflex defense formula has some problems. I have a character with 12 Dex and 16 Int (with a light shield, since I can't choose "no...

Elves seem to make pretty good Wisdom-based Wizards

Oh, I'm not blown away either. It's a pretty straightforward adventure. Sure, there are some interesting bits thrown in (like trying to figure out where all the prisoners are held,) but it's basically a dungeon crawl. However, it's an adventure that will last at least four sessions, which...
