More or less, what Cooperjer said. If your party is * Barb3/Fighter N (Battlemaster, great weapon master, reckless power attacks) * Wiz N, diviner, control wizard * C1/Bard N, lore bard, buffer in chief * Fighter N archer sharpshooter+xbow expert then that's not a problem. If your party is *...

Uh ... I strongly disagree with you here, and I'll just leave it at that.

Uh ... the wizard shouldn't be able to just "deal" with all the encounters anyway. If the wizard is so much better that the fighter might as well have stayed in bed, then it's a different problem. For a fun encounter, everyone should need to be involved. For a fun hard encounter, everyone...

Like: bounded accuracy (and more) Dislike: high-level (non-caster) capstone features don't compare to high-level spells.

I WAS the DM. And as the DM, the Champ needed a buff (which he didn't get, because we were playing pretty RAW). As a different note, my experience is that it's harder to justify endless (weak) encounters at high levels, and they're less fun. If the monsters are too weak to get the wizard to...

From play, a Barbarian 3/Fighter N build from 1-20. The player changed between Battlemaster and Champion a few times. As the DM, the Battlemaster was objectively far stronger... and that was true at all levels in the range. I personally found that the game changed at higher levels toward...

Having done that, it works quite well.

Anything for old melee warlocks? Are there any utility powers or new daily powers for the hexblade that function for non-hexblades? Anything that my old melee Conlock can use?

Ok, we are mostly in agreement. :) I don't deny that having straight 18s will make you more powerful. I just don't think it's more than a level or 2 worth, at least outside of heroic, and I don't think it breaks the game. The different critical feats: interchangeable. It usually won't matter...

I don't see what you're getting at here, outside of armor proficiency feats. Either your two main stats include Dex or Int (and thus you're ok with light armor, either way), or it doesn't (in which case you'll need heavy armor. The great starting stats just push it back from Heroic to...

Give a specific example, then, instead of generalities? Cause I'm not seeing the synergy you're talking about. Not being able to boost more than 2 stats means you still have only two attack stats. If one of them isn't Dex/Int, you'll still need heavy armor by epic. You can throw on some...

My comments below all assume that the "random rolling" PCs get stats that average 15 or more ... because I've played with the guy who can't roll lower than 13 on 4d6 drop the lowest. And seen him roll those two 18 arrays right in from of the DM. At high levels, I don't think it will matter...

I've run multiple campaigns in one setting, and had them be different campaigns. Different endings, different plots, different story lines. No connections at all, except for the initial conditions. I've played with a DM who uses his one setting for all campaigns, and some of them are probably...

melee warlock. As a helllock, I always feel funny with all these hit points and temp hp, and basically no way to spend them. So I swap Eldritch Blast for Strike, and wade into melee. With one power, over 30 levels. I want some melee warlock support. I'm just afraid it will be seen as a "new...

The 1,000 DPR Feycharger was actually getting a LOT (half?) of that damage from slashing, not feycharging. And while Fey Charge was indeed fixed, slashing was not. (Slashing, using one of two PPs that do damage when you teleport away from/to someone, and get an at-will teleport. Then find...

One comment I didn't see... Grind was worse when the game was new. It's better now, mostly from the ubiquitous item-bonus-to-damage items, and some other untyped damage items. Don't nerf the Iron Armbands (or other equivalent 2*tier damage items), and allow/give the Expertise feats and Grind...

I did a SW-Saga crossover game, and it worked well. Set expectations ("next week, will be something different", "just one game") and it should be a fun time. If it's sprung at the last minute, or a longer-term change then it may not work as well.

A minor action attack power A power that lets me walk through walls A power that lets me teleport the target next to the fighter.

Actually, in most cases Power Attack is now good for Avengers, as long as you just care about average damage. And you're not fighting soldiers 3 levels above you. And you don't have some silly-huge damage bonus right now from a combination of leader bonuses and radiance vulnerability. And you...

Me too. Don't they know about Student of Caiphon and Radiant Doubleaxes? (Ok, ok, just kidding. Could you put down the pitchfork?)
