    Epic Podcast - good, bad or indifferent?

    I like a two hits and they're out ruling, similar to the zombie twitch death thoes. One instance of damage makes the minions bloodied, another instance of damage kills a bloodied minion. Crits automatically kill a minion. Good things I like is that: 1. tieflings get to use bloodhunt against...

    Martial Power Preview

    Ah, yes that would probably make more sense. Though I got to make a reference to Cúchulainn. That should be some sort of inverse godwin's law or something. So on the subject power level wise. Conceptually this seems to be on the same tier of the pit fighter(guy who fights dirty) and iron...

    Cúchulainn and Lü Bu disagree.

    D&D 4E How does the 4E Barbarian Rage ability work?

    Barbarian's striker abilites: free attacks after crits. free charge after dropping targets Very beefy at wills. howling strike as above. Another allows you to shift 2 and then push the target. Its like tide of iron and the rogue's hit and run at wills had a kid of awesome. the third gives you...

    D&D 4E How does the 4E Barbarian Rage ability work?

    That's the thing, it does not encourage novaing any more than having more than one daily encourages you to burn them all in a fight. In fact without it the barbarian would be the only class so far that would be actually discouraged to use multiple dailies in a fight because they do not stack...

    D&D 4E How does the 4E Barbarian Rage ability work?

    Yes the barb enters in a rage via his dailies. Rage is like stances in that they last for the encounter, until you drop it, or use another daily. It is the second condition that rage strike is a work around for. Otherwise in a major battle where all other characters can drop their second or...

    Barbarian is up!!!

    Rage strike isnt made to encourage novaing it is used to enable novaing, like every other class can fully benefit from burning multipule dailies in an encounter. The barbarian without would override his first daily with his second. This is a problem if the first rage buff is more effective then...

    Twin Strike and Careful Strike Question.

    Question: I assume that all the math is worked out with twin strike just being 1w with no dex mod. I just noticed that fact yesterday.

    Death saving throw modifiers?

    Warforged can treat all death saving throws as a 10 so they never bleed out but can eventually get back up when they roll a 20 and spend a surge. But anything else that grants a bonus to a saving throw also affects bleeding out.

    Knocked prone

    I think prone grants combat advantage for melee attackers, cover against range. I don't know if there are any penalties to attack though. It also takes a move action that provokes an OA to stand up.

    Orcs preview

    Well usually yes, but three things. 1. the Death Strike ability is already an exception based ability allowing the orcs to make an attack after they are dead, so any other riders on a regular melee attack should be kosher. Since it is already breaking the general rule of no actions after dead...

    Argh, Let it be known that I thought to edit my post with the caveat, "assuming he hits" before I noticed your post correcting me.

    Orcs preview

    They do, this combo only works if the 10 hit points from the attack from the Death Strike aura bumps him to positive because his Wounded Retaliation is a reaction so it happens after the triggering effect. So drive him into the negative enough and the 10 hit points wont be enough to bring him to...

    The Myth of the Bo9S's Popularity

    and I have to ask what is causing this concern? You mentioned self-healing, teleportation and flaming blades in another post. Are these the things that you think martial classes can or should not be able to do at low level or at all? If so then I really don't see a problem. The latter two are...

    Of gishes and arcane defencers and whatnot: Is 4th ed. language for everyone?

    Funny, I know what a gish is, but the term F-MU would need to be explained. Is this a problem? Not in the slightest. Its all jargon. You are either familiar with it or not. My eyes gloss over when my comp sci friends start talking about C++ or B-- or whatever, and they don't know the hell I am...

    First look of the Dragonborn?

    People keep on mentioning wings, I don't see them. My first thought was fiendish gnoll but someone mentioned that the module was based in old minotaur city ruins so Possibly a fiendish minotaur?
