@Cirex:The character doesn't need higher level encounter powers, Two Fanged Strike already does more single target damage than most Heroic encounter powers, let alone first level encounter powers. (s)He could probably do with some more feats though. Weapon prof & focus bastard sword would be a...

Because if you take Aegis of assault, and your strength is lower than 16, you'll have too much trouble hitting with your primary marking ability.

That would be Aegis of Assault, there is quite clearly a separate strength and a con build.

Well, they are, because they're just better at ranged attacks. Well, I meant awesome from a "ooh, shiny game mechanics which do what you want them to while seeming to do the opposite, as opposed to 3.x where the mechanic seemed to do what the OP wanted them to (provide a penalty to firing into...

I find their similarity to Halflings hilarious. Same stats, bonus to stealth, cloud of darkness seems similar in effect to the halfling bonuses. Oh, and both are going to be running around with dual scimitars.

There are actually three powers with strength based "secondary effects" (although they're all damage), and that's not including the third level one which actually uses the aegis. They seem a bit "top tier" yes, while every particular ability is no more, or even less potent than existing...

I voted for "the ones I like" although I meant more "when I remember". I do find them more useful recently because they seem to be dealing with problems that come up on the message boards.

Of course not, they do the complete opposite, they make the ranged classes better at shooting monsters who aren't near your allies. Exactly, what it does is instead of providing a penalty to shooting into melee, it provides the classes which have powerful ranged abilities bonuses for not...

Warlocks can use wands. Wizard powers can be used with wands. What's the problem?

You don't have to look up attack bonuses "every attack". Martial and Arcane characters will have one, maybe two different attack bonuses they use, and most builds I've seen try to concentrate on one stat and one implement/weapon. A Fighter will have one attack bonus, and will maybe have to...

When Dragonborn B is a Fighter, someone who's entire training and combat style seems to centre around being somebodies bodyguard (or possibly just being a showoff), then yes, it makes perfect sense. It makes no difference if they're using Dragonbreath or a javelin, Dragonborn B has the better...

Okay, yes, it just prevents shifting and movement based powers. Okeydokey.

Regeneration doesn't work if you are at/below 0 hp.

All of them say "bonus to weapon damage rolls", so they all get added. None of them get added to the str damage of cleave or reaping strike. This is why twin strike scales so very well.

Anybody else noticed the whole "can't move while prone" deal? That's a big change from how a lot of people were playing it.

Players handbook, page 54. "An encounter power can be used once per encounter. You need to take a short rest before you can use one again." Has the Undead taken a short rest? no? Then it doesn't get it back. Yes, the ability doesn't specifically say it doesn't, but it also doesn't specifically...

Actually, it's the opposite. Enfeebling strike scales fine, in fact it's better at high levels because you fight a lot more Elites and Solos, there are very few high level normal or minion monsters currently. Bolstering however doesn't scale at all. Most Paladins won't find it particularly...

No, he can't be raised anyway, and it poses no problem for the Resurrection spell.

There's nothing there which says otherwise, so sure. It's exactly the same ability that Clerics/Warlords/Artificers get, except more restricted as to when you can use it(mostly to make it more dramatic). It probably wouldn't be that crazy. (Although it could get quite interesting) No.

Uh, miscommunication. I didn't realize you meant the Artul dodger bit :o. I'll go stand over there now.
