I disagree here. I believe you have it reversed and nothing in TWFl overrides HBO. Let's look at the two feats: HBO: When you make an opportunity attack with a heavy blade, you can use an at will attack that has the weapon keyword instead of a basic attack. TWFl: While holding a weapon in...

It's also not to far of a stretch to ask your DM to count "rapier in one hand, nothing in the other" as "wielding two weapons" for the ranger powers that require it. After all, Unarmed is a weapon type. :D

ah but the warforged character in the OP has an attached heavy shield...

Excellent OP. I'm forwarding it to all of my buddies who are on the fence about 4e. thank you.

Looks pretty good. I agree with your apprehension about the bonus feat, tho. I think you're on the right track with changing it to something more akin to the orc racial powers. Perhaps a way to capture that same sort of orcish flavor might be to do something similar to dragonborn...

MM1 has gnomes and a host of other monster races as playable characters. They just don't have the full writeup that the PH1 races get. Also note that it's possible that in the future, additional content will be added for more of these races, as it was for the Warforged in Dragon. No word of...

unfortunately, both astral fire and blade opportunist require dex 13

In another thread, it was mentioned that the masterwork armors can be interpreted not as different materials, but different techniques What's to say that when you upgrade your +3 leather to +4, you don't have to change up the strapping/rivets/leather conditioning/etc? The boosts in AC are, as...

how about this: if you sleep/extended rest in armor, you regain everything you would normally regain except hit points. So, if you are down HP and want to start the day at full HP, if you choose to sleep in armor, you'll have to burn some surges to get back to full.

indeed they could. But, after that, they wouldn't be eligible for an extended rest until noon the next day AND they would have to either sleep 6 hours ahead of time, or sleep in the afternoon.

Just wanted to chime in here and say that I too have wavy pages in my PHB, although I didn't notice them when I bought the book, and the motel room I stayed in that night was all sorts of humid. I attributed the wavyness to the humidity, not to the printing process. perhaps I was wrong. My...

Well, it's another chance to heal in the same encounter. It could very well mean the difference between life and death of any character on the field. The fact that it doesn't use a healing surge is not what makes it powerful. What makes it powerful is that it allows you to get a heal on your...

4e is exception based design. Magic item recharging via healing surges is an exception to the normal uses of healing surges. Although, I do dig your idea, I don't think the RAW back it up whatsoever. That being said, if a player tried that in a game I was running, I'd be cool with it. Also...

Well, all magic throwing weapons have the returning property, and Mouseferatu's point that the weapon returns after the attack is resolved is a valid point. So, either we have a situation where whatever was being tossed at the target flies back and forth between your hand and the targets...

Dig this build, although, I agree that it wouldn't stop movement to adjacent. That's also ok, or at least isn't terrible, considering once they're next to you, you get OA's if they move in any way. I've put together most of a character using almost this exact same build, but using Iron...

edit= apparently I failed to notice that, not only were there already multiple pages of this thread, but multiple replies of a similar sort to the one I gave. I have nothing to add. :cool:

I think it's a little misleading to say that Dex pulls double duty but Wis and Cha do not. It all depends on class. For example, for most Wizards, Reflex Defense, Ranged attacks, and Ranged damage are all governed by Int, not dex. For some Warlocks, Cha, is used for attacks and damage, not...

just so you know, I'm totally stealing these and replacing all the standard power names with them. :D

Also keep in mind that the number of healing surges you get per day is also based on your con bonus. It's like you have two different resources to track, your "encounter HP" and your "total daily HP" Also, some feats and other things can modify your healing surge value (at least one...
