Honestly, that would do almost nothing for this particular ability. On the monster's turn, it dominates the Fighter. On the Fighter's turn the monster makes him attack, then the Fighter saves and ends his turn (saving is done at the end of your turn, after all actions are completed). On the...

To be quite honest, just about every D&D character I've ever played has been Unaligned/Neutral (in the neutral/neutral, or "true neutral" sense), or some variation thereof. The reason for this is quite simple: I wanted the freedom to make the choices that I deemed necessary. The older...

Flipguarder covered most of the basic ways to increase damage, but there's an important question you need to ask yourself: "What class do you really want to play?" While I understand that you played a Warlock in WoW, you should never assume that just because something has the same name in D&D...

You could also ask your DM this: Would he not allow a Kobold to knock a PC prone? Of if it was a swarm of tiny creatures, would they be able to knock a PC prone? If the answer to either of those is yes, then he's being hyocritical in his application of the rules, and perhaps pointing that out...

Oh, interesting side note: I might have been wrong about FWT. The Hybrid Talent Option entry says that FWT functions exactly as written in the PHB, which is what I quoted above. Since it doesn't actually say that this weapon must be used in a Martial or Fighter attack, you might be able to...

Well, to go with Fighter MC Sorcerer you need to spend 1 feat to get the multiclass, another feat (at no earlier than 4th level) to get a single Encounter power, another feat (at no earlier than 8th level) to get a single Utility power and another (at no earlier than 10th level) to get a single...

Yeah, a friend of mine made a very nasty Pala-lock (as he likes to call him). However, the OP seemed more to be looking for something that infused Martial and Arcane, whereas Paladins are Divine. On a side note though, you could also get a lot of mileage out of a Fighter/Warlock combination...

While Swordmages and great and all, there is another option that might fulfill what you're looking for: Hybrid Fighter/Sorcerer. Dragonborn make the ideal race for this, since they get a boost to both STR and CHA, the main stats for each class. Plus, there's some nice racial feats for both...

If you want an attack for your Sorcerer that doesn't provoke, then use Burning Spray. The only reason to make the argument that Acid Orb + Sorcerous Blade Channeling = MBA Acid Orb is to use it for OA's. This is completely unbalanced though, and anyone who tries to argue otherwise is lying to...

In this case, the party is aware of the enemy though. They don't know his exact location, but they've obviously noticed someone shooting at them at range (Passive Perception should detect this). That is entirely different than saying "I'm going into combat!" just in case there's an invisible...

Say what? I think something didn't implement right with my update then. I went to create a new character in order to try things about. All the new classes and races are there, along with their normal feats. However, so is Focused Expertise. Additionally, I can't seem to find an option to...

Well, one reason to make it a free action is that there are several conditions that prevent the use of Immediate actions. Namely: Dazed, Stun, Surprised, and a few others that don't matter so much like being unconscious, since they take away all actions (including free). So, let's say that...

I'm confused, as you seem to have contradicted yourself here. Let's break it down though. As you correctly pointed out, the trigger is based on them taking damage from one of those damage types. Therefore, the free action happens after damage has already been taken. But then you go on to...

So basically you're mad because you were condescending to a couple of guys in a little flame war and the WotC mod called you out on it? It's their CoC, and you violated it, so I don't really see a problem. South Park reference aside, you injected a rather condescending comment into an...

Just to toss in my .02 on the question of why using Total Defense all the time is impractical, I would say to chalk it up to a "heat of the moment" sort of thing. It's literally impossible to be 100% vigilant and alert for hours on end. Just ask anyone who has ever been a cop or in the...

Like I said, it's iffy. Perhaps I should clarify though, as my original comment might have been a little non-specific: by "iffy", I mean "you need to ask your DM". Some DM's don't like the kind of cheese that comes out of things like that, and ban it. Some DM's are fine with it. It just...

You can feel free to use a mundane shield at the same time as any other (non-shield) magic arm slot item you want. Basically, they were just trying to make sure that they weren't making shield any more awesome than they already were by giving you a second arm slot.

You're right about the weapon keyword being there, but wrong about the /endthread. Tide of Iron pushes the target, it does not slide the target (which is what the weapon modifies). So no, Tide of Iron will not trigger the property, although you can use the Daily power associated with the...

At least with this example, the question is, why is the PC expecting an attack? Unless you yourself are violating the rules of combat (ie- giving the enemies an auto-surprise round even though the PC's are opening the door and the monsters are in plain sight, or allowing the monsters a free...

You win the thread. Much of the stuff in D&D, as well as other games, looks to history, myths and legends for inspiration. The Fey and all that they represent dates way back to European myths and legends about things like Sprites, Brownies and Fairies. Classes like the Paladin have their...
