This is a really good point. Seeing as the Warlock I rolled has slightly better defenses than the Fighter, and significantly better if he moves 3 squares during his turn for concealment, and not a terribly smaller hp pool, it might just be outright imba to give the crit talent to ranged guys. I...

Yea, I can tell you right now that spells being unable to crit on anything except a 20 is going to place Warlocks in last place as far as damage dealing potential among strikers. I am DMing the campaign we start in a few weeks though, and I've already houseruled in that you can take a feat to...

By and large yes, but there are noteable exceptions in each. Star has some Psychic attacks, a Fire/Radiance one I can recall. Some of the Infernal ones deal Necrotic, and some of the Fey deal other damage types. Minus a few exceptions though, that is exactly how I would classify their damage...

Yea, with an action point and a crit, over 200 damage is extremely doable at 30th level. In some extreme cases, like when a Warlock has been channeling his Death Star Ray of Evil or whatever its called for like 5-6 rounds, the damage you can attain is much higher than that. I see why Ancient...

And lastly, Im surprised nobody commented on all the armor feats I took :D

The only immediate problem I see with this is that Star Pact is the most difficult Warlock to make, as it is equally reliant on CON and CHA. Its best attacks rely on one or the other, although this might not be immediately evident due to my simply writing in +30 to hit, or whatever. Fey Warlocks...

I'm not sure if it's worth it at that level... but I'll check it out. I'm assuming you are interested in a fighter multi-classed into wizard, and not the other way around.

I'd like to add to the OP's comment that feat selection is a bit grim through Paragon/Epic. Gonna need more splatbooks for that no-question. Also, Doom of Delban is completely insane as a Demi-god. Let me give you an example. First round: Move, Minor: Curse, Standard: Tendrils of Thuban. Lets...

Wow, that was more work than I thought. Just gonna use the exact same format as the first poster to keep things consistent for the readers. Using 16,16,12,11,11,8 point buy. This might not be everyone's ideal build, but I liked it. Oh, and I didn't really get all that intense on my item...

A few things about Demi-gods, they get +2 to two stats of your choice permanently at 21, and his Daily regen power is off. You actually gain regen equal to your highest ability SCORE, not modifier, meaning his regen/round should actually be much higher. Someone asked for a Warlock, and I...

Oh, and just because I really want to know, whenever someone gets around to the MM: Beholders. Tell me!

I fully expect this post to be over 20 pages long when I get home tonight. All the information you can provide on the 2 warlock pacts we haven't seen would be awesome, and maybe a high level ability example that seems representative for each pact? Hehe.

Im relatively certain you can never have more than a single action point. Certainly not at first level without some kind of special feat or paragon/ed feature.

Yea, that came immediately into my head as I read the preview as well. I thought to myself, surely with Bloodied being an important new condition they will use it to indicate a swarms weakened state. I'll be houseruling something like that myself, though I'll have to play around with exact numbers.

An interesting summary. Im surprised the module is so difficult. Too bad you didn't use the Warlord, I'd like to hear how he played. A few answers to the best of my understanding: Allies grant cover. You can shoot through allies without penalty, but if your fighter is between the enemy slinger...

I'm not sure how much easier it will be to gain CA in 4e over 3.x, but I am sure that you will be able to take advantage of sneak attack more often. Undead and Constructs no longer being immune to it alone will see to that. Still, all the shifting powers making getting into a flanking position...

Your example is in blatant defiance of the minion rules from the most basic level. I mean, they specifically state this is exactly how you are not supposed to use minions. A minion is not a special, insanely weak version of a monster, it is a story element. There are a number of levels where...

While I totally respect the reason someone might want to houserule this, I have a feeling it would impact the game in some undesirable ways. 1) Increases the relative power of "X damage on a miss" powers compared to 100% wiff-on-a-miss powers. This will lead to players making more obvious Power...

Some people are just born to argue I suppose. I'm glad they put that note in the rules though, as it gives one less meaningless thing to hear people whine about. :D

We just have to assume that Thalmin is busily taking copious notes :D
