Hoban carries a longsword and longbow for background reasons (which I won't delve into here). He has wielded the longsword on occasion and I figured it would be appropriate for him to get better with using it. Since there are already mechanics to allow a wizard to use the longsword for attacks...

Thanks for all the suggestions. In this particular case, I'm the player and the character already exists. We've been running the campaign as PHB ONLY. There's been some recent discussion on opening it up to other books, so I'm revisiting some of my early characters concepts. Here's my original...

One option is to take three feats to use a longsword as both a weapon and implement: weapon proficiency (longsword) melee training (intelligence) arcane implement proficiency or swordmage multiclass (heart of the blade or blade initiate) Any other options? Thanks. -Gak Toid

I've decided I'm making this too complicated. I can role play the ranger bit. Back to my original character: -Gak Toid

For reference, here's the list of heroic powers in the PHB that the orb can be applied to: cloud of daggers* ray of frost acid arrow (daily) sleep (daily)* fire shroud (encounter)* web (daily)* ice storm (daily)* lightning serpent (daily) * powers I'm considering -Gak Toid

We've discussed as a group allowing other books and the consensus is that people are content with PHB only. We'll see if that continues as we gain levels. So, here's what I've come up with so far. race: human or eladrin class: wizard implement: unknown minimum ability scores: Str 8 Con 10 Dex...

The Iron Mage thread implies that you get the +1 AC when wielding a longsword. -Gak Toid

Well...phooey. Corellon's Implement seems like a pretty crappy feature if you still have to wield the implement in question to get the implement mastery bonuses. "Hey guys! I don't need my wand to cast spells, except when I need my wand to cast spells. WTF?" Getting a 13 dex with human is...

That's good advice Jay. Definitely a trap I find myself falling into too often. Right now I'm trying to decided between staff and orb. My initial design had more of a controller focus. As the character concept has developed I'm leaning more toward a rangery style. Warrior of the Wild is...

How does wintertouched and lasting frost affect the evaluation of cold based powers? Does ray of frost "look good"? There doesn't seem be much feat support for other damage types in the PHB. Does cold need the bump or are the other choices simply inferior? -Gak Toid

From what I've read the cooperative portion of Demon Souls appears to be over the network, not in the same room. It looks like Marvel is the only option. I prefer fantasy to supers, but I'll give it a shot. -Gak Toid

I received a PS3 for Christmas and I am looking for a cooperative (action) RPG. Something like Gauntlet or D&D Heroes. Any recommendations? Thanks. -Gak Toid

Thanks for the advice everyone. I need some time to review my options. I'll post my final build when it's ready. -Gak Toid

Really? Slow at will seems useful. Thanks for the info. Here's something I'm considering. Let me know if I'm gimping myself. I don't have access to the character builder, so this is by hand. Let me know if there are errors. Basic character concept: Looks likes a ranger, acts like a ranger...

More Info Thanks for the replies everyone. Unfortunately, there's no at-wills that target will defense in the PHB. However, I will still be picking human. I'll use that extra at-will for magic missile. How can you play a magic-user^H^H^H^H wizard without magic missile? It's unpossible. The...

The title says it all. I'm relinquishing my role as DM for a chance at playing on the other side of the screen. The party needs a controller (level 3) and we're limiting our book selection to the PHB only. The builds and suggestions I see online always rely on feats/powers/paths from other...

Intelligent Qube? -Gak Toid

If this has already been discussed, please point me in the correct direction. You guys have done incredible work. I'm artistically challenged, so I don't have much to contribute in terms of set templates. It seems silly to have to enter the data for every set. Ideally some type of mail-merge...

Feel free to look me up: Sondin on Argent Dawn Guild: Warriors of Lost Fate It'll be up to you to decide if our guild is right for you. We're very casual, most of us are friends or friends of friends. -Gak Toid
