Both good points. Knowing what you were planning on doing with your multiclass, as well as what your current build/power/feat selection is would help a lot. As mkill said though, the main thing is figuring out why you want to multiclass. If it's just to do something better as a Defender, you...

Your only high stat is Charisma, which limits your choices. Unless you're just looking at Utility powers, you'll need to actually land attacks with the powers you pick up through your multiclass. As such, you should probably stick to a Charisma based class so that you have a decent attack...

It's called War Wizardry. It gives a -5 to attacks against allies, and they only take half damage on a hit. It's a Sorcerer's best friend!

No, but the DM let him have Darkvision per the MM monster stat block, even though the one in the back for NPC's uses Normal vision. So they have Darkvision in our game...not like it matters much though.

I voted rarely, which basically means like, twice. One of the times it came up was in one of the darker sections of the KotS module, so I almost wouldn't even count that one since it's not a situation that a DM actually created. For the most part though, it's not too much of an issue. We have...

Yeah, well, the problem comes when the DM's monsters know that your Fighter has Combat Challenge and Combat Superiority, but you don't know when you're marked that the monster marking you will smack you upside the head for 2d8+x (or whatever their damage is) if you ignore it. But, that's more...

One thing that seems to be forgotten here is that Come and Get It is a very particular type of forced movement. Most of those forced movement powers that require some sort of a roll allow you do something like, say, push 3, or slide 1, etc.. Basically, you have some choice in where the enemy...

So giving up 1/4 of your Dailies isn't significant? Compare this also to something like the Scion of Arkhosia path for a Dragonborn Dragon Soul Sorc. They get to fly, have useful powers, increase the power level of their Dragonbreath, etc... There's also another PP called "Dragon Guardian" or...

Journeymanmage beat me to it, but yeah...Warlords aren't sissy little Bards that sing you a pretty song. They're drill sergeants. Drill sergeants that'll tear you a new one if you fall asleep on the job. Also, for those of you who've seen Gurren Lagann, I always imagine it as a "Let's see you...

Actually, you kinda did raise those points. One of the issues is that you're not really clarifying "how much is too much"? Some of the 4e books have several pages of errata, some have very little. So at what point is something "too much", or at what point is it a "substantially better"...

One last time: Read what I actually wrote. Arguing a point I'm not even making is foolish. I never contended that dumping CON and taking the background was good. The ONLY (and I don't know how many more time I have to say it) contention I was making was that if you're already dumping CON...

It doesn't have so much to do with power gaming as it does with surprise. The first time we encountered Hobgoblin Soldier in the KotS, I was rather confused that I seemed to be missing sometimes with rolls that were hitting before. It took me awhile to figure out the fact that their AC goes up...

Ah, true! Then it would be 24d6, since SA would add 6d6 at Epic. TBH though, I would love to watch someone doing that. :D

I think the issue here is that he's having a problem with you posting this in the 4e rules forum. Saying "I don't like the fact that they haven't printed updated books, and therefore I play using other systems" has nothing to do with discussing rules. It's something that belongs in the General...

While yes, it's true that the DM is supposed to create situations that help out his monsters, he should still put some though into encounter design and how it will impact things. In the above case it's a confluence of factors that made the encounter rather difficult for the PC's. Swarms are...

Pretty much... There's no cut and dry answer, as it depends on what powers they have, and what level they are. Realistically though, at higher levels you can end up with ridiculous numbers of dice to roll, so it's probably best to just have 2 or 3 full sets so you're ready for anything you...

While it might be fun to you, for a lot of people it's just a LOT of extra book keeping. They have to track all sorts of unique stats, have a whole stat block, look at modifiers and penalties, etc... In the current system it's fairly easy because they can just say "Okay, so it has my defenses...

First off, I don't take kindly to 3rd grade level insult slinging, so how about you knock that off. We're adults here, and shouldn't have to resort to calling people "interweb weenies" when you didn't even pay attention to what my post said. A) Yeah, sorry, I said Forgotten Realms instead of...

Backgrounds can be good or bad, but it largely depends on the player and what material they have access to. Some of those Forgotten Realms backgrounds are WAY too powerful, such as the aforementioned Auspicious Birth/Bad Moon backgrounds. And yes, I realize that the benefit they give is...

Yeah, you're using the most powerful weapons you can and then spending a feat to up that damage...what else would you expect? Question is, does that really qualify as "striker level"? Let's compare to a Rogue with 18 DEX/CHA using Sly Flourish, and who has spent a feat to increase his sneak...
