No, 'build' still means what it does. You just have this thing called a 'class type' which describes something that never existed in the game before. No, 3.5 didn't introduce new stuff, it replaced old stuff entirely. The hexblade is not a replacement for the warlock. It's a new thing. So...

That definition is pretty simplistic tho. Leaders are not defined by attack-types. Except it doesn't DO what the templar does. The irony is that the Str-cleric is a legacy thing. There've always been armored clerics that hit the front lines and beat things to death, and yes... they were...

I don't believe it has intended to replace the Strength priest, nor has it effectively done so. Sun domain is an obvious healing-based domain. Storm is more of a DPR+defensive buffs domain. Str-cleric is an offensive buffer. Leaders are defined more by what they buff than their attack...

Obvious Verbal irony was ironic and obvious.

Saying it slowly will not make you correct, in the same way yelling at someone whose language you don't understand won't make you speak their language. Wrong, and wrong. Hexblade is a class type under the warlock class, with two builds in the first book, Fey (accurate) and Infernal...

I would suggest perchasing either Heroes of the Fallen Lands or Heroes of the Forgotten Kingdoms first. Then, you can probably find a bulletin at your local game store to find a DM who has a spot free so you can start with the game in a friendly warm environment. Also, welcome to the forum...

My warlock can't take a swordmage build either so Forgotten Realms must be incompatible with PHB1. Oh wait, that's stupid. Altho you're absolutely right, the Heroes of Shadow book does have a section of Warlock powers, and the original warlock can't take those so... ...oh wait they can? All...

Because listing every Fourth edition D&D product ever made on the back of, say, Heroes of Shadow is stupid? Picture if it said, as well as listing every essentials core product, PHB 1, PHB 2, PHB 3, Monster Manual, and the DMG 1 AND DMG 2. Seriously. I went online to see if I could find an...

g i joooooeeeeeee!!!!

More like red-haired laws-of-the-universe rules-lawyers. So the vampire's being undead trait gets applied to the vryloka, who can choose to be living any time it's to his benefit, rendering the class feature moot. Never thought of that. Red Witch gives her bounties indeed!

Agreed. The Aegis is not a 'basic mark.' Ain't nothing basic about a mark that also includes teleportation or forcefields.

All R's must be R-r-r-r-r-rolled! All W's must be v's!

It's a non-issue tho, it's not like you're choosing powers with one outside of your aspects and knacks.

I demand you speak in a transylvanian accent

My rules lawyery is something I do as a thought exercise, not as my actual play style. When I run or whatever, I'm generally a LOT more laissez-faire. I want cool things to happen. I want to tell a grand story. I don't want to think every character's going to only take combat only options...

The deft strike thing works out very well because sometimes your position doesn't just offer cover/concealment for you, but also does for them. Easier to get into position with deft strike and attack, then spend a move to get back into total cover.

Backstabber doesn't provide +5 damage in heroic. Neither does Light Blade Expertise. Neither does any of those defense feats provide +4 in heroic. Again, those bonuses are epic level. So, are you saying you can't find room for a feat you'd like amidst 12 other feat slots? Really? Really...

It's a quadruple vampire across the sky! OH MY GOD WOW!!!! WHAT DOES IT MEAN!?!

Or you hit level 6 and you have all three. Also, comparing an epic feat, the combination of two feats for paragon tier, and a heroic feat is fairly disingenuous. By the time you have that +4 to a key defense, you have 12 other feats. There are not, for most builds, 12 feats that are huge...

Insight. Not Will. Will favors classes like Clerics, Wizards, and various spellcasters. Ravenloft is supposed to hit those characters harder, not lighter. It's your cleric who goes barmy before your thief.
