    The Ninja Warlock

    Yeah, a straightforward warlock can do it okay. Training Stealth and taking either Secret Stride or rogue multiclass boosts your check by 10 between them, though, which makes you considerably more of a ninja, and rogue multiclass opens up Hide In Plain Sight which is also awesome. Multiclassing...

    The Ninja Warlock

    I was just reading the Ranger Vs. Warlock thread, and nobody seems to have noticed a neat little trick a warlock can use. I'm going to be using this for my character; it emerged from looking for a paragon option for a Star Warlock that was better than Doomspeaker (which just doesn't appeal to...

    Musings on the skill system

    My biggest issue with the removal of Disguise is that there are now no disguise rules in the books at all, as far as I can tell, with the exception of the Change Shape ability doppelgangers have. A paragraph or so under Bluff would've been fine, but I don't like having to make a houserule for...

    Implement ambiguities

    Pact boon triggers no matter who downs the target. In other words, the Rod of Corruption's trigger is independent of your use of powers or your use of it as an implement. You may have a case with Corruption not triggering Reaving, since Corruption's wording is that it "transfers" your Curse and...

    Implement ambiguities

    The Rod of Corruption (I misrecalled the name) has a property that does not require the use of a power - it triggers when your pact boon activates, permitting you to place your Warlock's Curse on a number of enemies. Similarly, the Rod of Reaving's property is not applied to powers with the...

    Core Handbook Errors Discussion

    Hide In Plain Sight, a rogue utility power, renders you invisible until you leave the square you're standing in. Nothing else you do will make you visible, including attacking.

    Rituals too easy and cheap?

    A thought I've had is for magical "ritual implements" to be available that let you perform rituals for free up to some fraction of the implements' cost; more expensive rituals get a skill bonus but no discount. Honestly, I have no trouble with a paragon-tier ritualist being able to Make Whole...

    So, wizards fight like fighters?

    Real-world example time. Suppose I'm holding a knife and taking a swing at some random schmuck. I have a pretty good chance of nicking him, maybe even making it hurt. I probably won't hit anything lethal, though. Now suppose an experienced knife-fighter is attacking the same random schmuck. He...
