It's not a case of specific > general because the multiclass rules don't conflict with the hybrid rules. The multiclass feats simply allow you to swap powers; they don't say anything about overriding the hybrid rules, so they don't.

More specifically, a V-shaped class has two primary attack stats (e.g. Warlock: Con and Cha) and one secondary rider stat (Warlock: Int), while an A-shaped class has one primary attack stat (e.g. Sorcerer: Cha) and two (or more) secondary rider stats (Sorcerer: Dex and Str).

Aside from all those powers in PP that have the spirit mark the target, of course.

Whedon's a great writer. I was arguing that the line was imitating his style, but dulled and diluted until it wasn't funny, just stupid. It's become very common in recent years; Whedon's (mostly unrecognized/unacknowledged) influence on pop culture is really quite astonishing. Anyway: good for...

Actually avengers generally fare better (or, really, are penalized less) for lower attack stat because of the double rolling (because they don't benefit from having both rolls hit, a super high attack bonus just isn't as useful). Rangers function somewhat similarly, as they'll still due quarry...

I was really hoping this thread was about a System Shock RPG. Alas!

Ah, lampshading. The refuge of writers everywhere who recognize a cliche and yet can't/won't come up with something more interesting. (In this case, of course, it's not the writer's fault, but whoever handed them the assignment of writing a D&D comic, and not simply a comic about/within the...

Rogues can definitely get away with 20 Dex, as can a lot of wizards (who generally don't have a lot of use for their secondary stat). Basically, most classes whose attack stat is also their AC stat are fine with 20 (moreso if you're a hybrid with differing secondary stats).

Wow, what a supremely stereotypical party. Human in charge, dwarf hammer warrior worshipping Moradin and horable, elf ranger with a bow and twin blades (at least they're axes, I guess), halfling rogue who's only concerned with the loot, and I suppose tiefling arcane character (probably warlock)...

Eagle Shamans are the only leader build with Dex as a primary or secondary stat. ;)

Oh, I agree on both counts. I think eladrin nobility would have to be a paragon/epic option, as discussed by others. (There are already fey- and even seasonal-themed epic destinies.)

I've been working on a pet-focused defender necromancer for quite a while, actually. :)

Heh. There seem to be two groups of people in this thread--those who consider nobility simply a title, and those who understand that for eladrin, nobility is a lot more than a title. Eladrin nobles, for those who haven't read the fluff, are significantly physically different from normal eladrin...

That's a ranger MC feat, though, so you can't take if your base class is ranger. Since the barbarian whirling slayer gets the same feature, though, you could ask your DM if you could take a house-ruled barbarian MC feat with the same benefit (if that's what you want out of Two-Blade Style).

That would be b/c MM3's not in the Compendium yet. ;)

Holy sexism, Batman. That is some impressive gender bull.

Allowing Twin Strike to target Reflex is... giving a significant bonus to the most powerful at-will in the game. There's a reason *no* Style feats affect Twin Strike. Dual Strike is very different from Twin Strike because you can't focus fire with it. Also many rogues (Brutal Scoundrels) have...

Given his propensity for getting betrayed by friends and hired help, I'm curious as to why you think he should be trained in Insight? ;)

You realize that salamanders are an established group of elemental creatures in D&D? Not to discourage you, 'cause it sounds interesting, just pointing it out.

And Edison would be the lawful evil warlock playing against Tesla. Hitler would be the whiniest munchkin of all time, of course. In 3.5 he'd jump for Pun Pun (and possibly convince everyone it was okay). Cassius would play the BSG board game (playing Baltar every time, to maximize chance of...
