Why can't you build a martial controller, I can think of a couple of routes. Sniper = use ranged attacks, ranged interrupts and reactions, and fear to create zones. Pole Arm Wielder = same as above only centered on the controller Harrier = uses speed to create zones and area effect attacks...

Dragonborn make fairly decent wizards too, enlarged dragon breath, plus burning hands in a single round is always nice. Same reason why the Tiefling isn't as bad as it appears at first glance, any time you can use one of your attack powers (including dailies) at an additional +1 to hit plus...

Rangers need minor actions to activate hunter's quarry

Human Rogue Iconic Not Naughty, just my initials sounded out, B bee, P pee, R arr.

Hennet is asian, here's another look The PHB picture just has the shading washed out. Most hispanics I know who play D&D where thrilled by Alhandra and Kerwyn, they didn't see them as being europeans, but as Hispanics. You say you want racial diversity in the art, but then say it isn't...

This is the picture from the PHB, if you'll look closely at the eyes and face you can tell it's the same picture as from the novel cover, but with the shading a bit lighter. And by the way neither Italians or Spanish started off with dark hair and darker complexion, it wasn't until after the...

I have no clue, the PHB and scourge of worlds both point to black or at least bi racial, but the original 3e Stand up was white. Maybe, but I still think she looks more hispanic then white. White, really? Also not white, and yes she was technically an Iconic

About 3rd editions artwork, I didn't like it either, but couldn't put my finger on why at first. It was the lack of action scenes. It seemed like everything was either a portrait, a pose or cut outs around the character (see Lidda shooting the crossbow bolt into the ogre's head). There was...

Chalk me up as another who always thought Regdar was black (but then again, I watched scourge of worlds though), I always thought Alhandra and Kerwyn where hispanic and Nial and Hennet where asian. When I first looked at the PHB I thought Jozan was the only white human Iconic.

Not to be rude, but by looking at some of these ideas about the complexity issue, it might be important to remember what the complexity is supposed to represent as far encounters go. Complexity is currently numbered 1-5 because this is the Avg party size, and is used to determine how many...

What I'm wanting to do is merge elements of the challenge system (it's core, but come up with a different success/failure mechanic) with the wide array of class options for the combat system to add just as much detail to non-combat as combat encounters. Plus I'm thinking about having the...

I think I'm going to agree with a few others and guess that the Wizards Spell Book ability is his Controller ability, since it gives him a lot of more options than the other classes. Maybe that will be the controller schtick. Greater flexibility in power selection. Like you said, each class...

Looking at the numbers behind 4E recently gave me an Idea. Generally I run a very intrigue heavy campaign (well at least compared to the default D&D assumption), some aspects such as the Skill Challenge and default skill bonuses for everyone will make this even easier in 4E, but the characters...

I can see where he is coming from with the skill challenge is a second class citizen to combat. For one, the vast majority of the classes exploits/spells/prayers are all combat oriented, heck even some of the utility powers are somewhat combat oriented. Plus the combat system allows for...

KotS format was much better then the delve format, but I'd like to see Wizards actually make use of their dungeon tile lines for their adventures (ie maps created using them). I'd really like to see them do adventure boxed sets though. :1: The adventure booklet, maybe a player booklet :2...

Hmmm, I felt the Halfling (due to the fact all their racial abilities are dependent on the actions of his opponent) and Half Elf were the weakest of the races too, with elf not to far behind. So in the spirit of 4E I'm thinking of having the Halfling kill the Half Elf and steal his stuff...

I was going to ask the same thing, the ranger does seem to do some of the things you would expect a controller to do, besides it always seemed silly to me that they would have two martial strikers in the first book, but only 1 controller, makes me wonder if they originally intended the ranger to...

Edited for additional wild speculation If they do only release the PHB with 8 classes, the other four may be extra content available though the DI, either as extra content if you buy the PDF version of the PHB or as an article in Dragon. I think I'd rather see the Martial controller be...

If I don't like the name of a class I just call it something else I also don't like the Warlord name (however I also didn't like the names of the Dusk blade, Hex blade, Mage blade, Soul knife, Spell thief, and psychic warrior) so I did search a thesaurus, and found one I never would have...

The more I think about SWSE skill system the more I think it's not so much the flat bonus to all skills that bother me, it's that your really not that much better than someone who isn't trained, so why not a mix of both systems. All skills get a bonus equal to half your level (or if you...
