Weapons such as the Lightning Weapon don't CHANGE the keyword, they ADD it. Greenflame Blade will now do Fire and Lightning typed damage. Read the 4e PHB Errata for more info, but basically that means enemies will only ever apply the lowest of their resistances to damage you deal to them. For...

Nevermind, PHB FAQ covers this: "When do a Magic Item's keywords apply? If you use a magic item's power in conjunction with a power granted to you by your race or class, that item's keywords are added to the regular keywords of the power you are using. For example, if you are have a...

Do feats that add typed damage (Fiery Rebuke, Shocking Flame) add that same keyword to an attack?

The section on page 226 still seems a little ambiguous, however. What about a Flameburst or Thunderburst Weapon? It seems despite not converting the damage type, it still adds the keyword, yes? "When you use a magic item as part of a racial power or a class power, the keywords of the item's...

Reminds me of Chariots in Warhammer....

Nothing about Tempest stops you from using a NON offhand weapon in the main hand. Sure you lose the +1 attack and +1 of the damage, but Double Weapons still have a "coolness" factor to make up for that... Might be especially worth it if you have both Light Blade and Heavy Blade feats....

"Attack: Strength + 2 vs. AC, Constitution + 2 vs. AC, or Dexterity + 2 vs. AC - Increase the bonus to attack rolls to +4 at 11th level and +6 at 21st level." This is likely the trend with Spellscar powers. No implement or weapon bonus, just an innate bonus as part of the power that makes up...

So what does the Whirlwind Genasi PP look like? My book is still in the mail, being in Australia it'll be a while before it arrives :p

How do Elemental Tempest PP and Dual Manifestation feat work together? Are you able to manifest 3 elements at once, or is there fine-print? If you can manifest 3 elements, does the third element (from Dual Manifestation) add in any way to the PP? Otherwise Whirlwind Genasi with Dual...

I don't mind the Raven Queen- "True Neutral" style deities are usually my second favourite to "Lawful Neutral" deities, and accepting death, and embracing temporariness of life is a decent idea- I like the Raven Queen, but just not playing a Raven Queen Cleric. Playing such an emo character...

Without worrying about gameplay mechanics- Erathis. It'd be great fun to play a morally bankrupt Cleric who cares more about rules and social order than "good". Bahamut is cliche, the Raven Queen is boring (death is inevitable- ooooooo). Erathis is the god of capitalism, the god of democracy...

I know Dwarves don't have an Encounter Power, but I find it hard to stomach a race without one. Half-Eladrin and Half-Drow are decent write-ups, but without some kind of power, I dunno, they just don't feel right... Dillentante would probably suffice.

Considering the FRPG will probably have information about Realms Genasi in it and the fact that the FRCG details Akanul extensively I liked having some PoL history of the Genasi. The physiology, origin myths, culture and information about manifestations are appropriate regardless of setting.

Surely something like "deciding if a monster attacks a particular player" is up to DM discretion rather than having to find something in RaW. I imagine my Fighter showing a high level of profiency in the battlefield and circling his opponent as part of the combat challenge. If someone is...

Sounds like a Lawful Neutral Paladin to me. Whether that shifts him towards Unaligned or keeps him at Lawful Good is the subject of obvious debate. Lawful Neutral (inquisitor-style) isn't well represented in the current setup. But someone that values LAW and SOCIETY (Lawful Good) is likely to...

Is it just me or could you use the feats in that article to become quite a powerful machine... Depending on whether or not you can take Extra Manifestation multiple times (waiting on the FRPG to see the fine print on that one). But a Firesoul/ Stormsoul Genasi Swordmage (Wizard MC) with Fast...

True, but it makes getting the First Aid bonus very easy.... My Purple Dragon Knight stands next to you, you are a human with no Action Points and I First Aid you. +6 without breaking a sweat. As for those seeing this as "just FR material" personally I am treating the FR campaign book as "PHB...

Either a Racial bonus or a Feat bonus works well. If you are still concerned, make them cost a first level feat or have your players write the background and you choose the bonus to associate with their backgrounds. Of course, the skill rerolls are arguably better than the +3 anyway, and there...

Melee controller is a lot harder to work, but I still think that the two things that define a controller are 1) AoE and 2) Save Ends effects. With bleeds (damage over time), hamstrings (slow), concussive blows (stuns) and whirlwind and cleave attacks that do the above (AoE) a Barbarian would...

True, what is even worse is that the new FR Purple Dragon Knight PDF adds another +2 untyped to an adjacent ally. Human Saves are getting out of control. Those conditions better be effective, considering they will only last 1 turn with an auto-save at the player's subsequent turn..
