As a Swordmage I want to kick this module's author in the shins. If you're going to screw entire class builds out of their distinctive features, you'd better damn well have given those builds plenty of warning about it so they can make an informed choice, or at least penalize the monsters to...

It's "odd" sure but certainly not errant. Some powers do it all with one attack, others use two. It's a flavor difference, sometimes with mechanical motivations to give the target a fighting chance when both effects are potentially very punishing.

??? Your own post shows DR 15, or am I totally missing you again? 8+8+8 = 24 24-15 = 9?

Gotcha, misunderstood the distinction you were making. :)

Uh. No. If you have DR 5 fire and DR 5 cold, you resist 5. It's the same principle as differing resistance values; if you have DR 2 fire and DR 7 cold and get hit by a fire and cold attack, you're only going to resist 2. Lowest common denominator (except resist all, which trumps everything else)...

I rule it per attack. If you have Resist 5 all and take 2d8 weapon+2d6 fire damage from a single attack roll, you resist 5 damage from the sum total. If you have Resist 2 all and Resist 10 fire, and take the same 2d8 weapon+2d6 fire from a single attack roll, you're going to resist 2. If you...

Moander would most likely be a demon imo. He's too one-dimensional to be a deity (though he could easily pass himself off as one to intimidate some lesser race). Same with Jubilex.

You could rule it either way. Divine Castigation is on attack, not on damage, so nobody could have possibly taken damage yet which seems to make it clear that the attack simply hasn't happened yet and could thus be moved around; if someone wanted to get super technical about it, you would have...

5 pages and Marshall still doesn't grasp the basic concept that people had/have issues with the "spellbook" design of the original Martial classes? Was I the only one who heard the myriad of "Why does my fighter have a bunch of different powers to use every turn? He's not a wizard!" from people...

Something else I've started doing is turning a lot of grab effects into Restrained. This more closely emulates the vision of the monster actually wrapping itself around the person or otherwise severely hampering their ability to get away, as opposed to just grappling them with one hand and...

Oh GOD the irony of this post KILLS me

Aaaaand here we go again...

If this is how a "real D&Der" thinks then I feel sorry for all the awesome stuff they're missing out on just because they feel like they can't do anything but robotically push a button :erm:

These classes are as boring as you allow them to be. Of course sitting there and just spamming Tactical Trick is boring, you've allowed yourself to become completely disengaged from the game just because you have an easybutton to getting SA dice. Instead, try looking at your other tricks and...

Reach weapons can attack up to 2 squares away, they aren't limited to just that second square. The reason reach weapons are an 'issue' for Avenger is that reach weapons often sacrifice other good properties in order to achieve their reachiness. While it is true you can use a reach weapon...

Again, how does one relate to the other? Oath of Enmity only works with attack rolls on the Oathed target. I don't mean to repeat myself, I'm still just not sure what the objective or intent here is :confused:

I'm not sure I understand the question. FoB is Melee 1, so that isn't affected by a reach weapon at all. And Oath of Enmity just lets you roll two attack dice to hit, whereas FoB is just a small amount of auto damage. What are the two supposed to do in conjunction?

Was looking at a twitter friend's weaponmaster build a bit ago and got to tweaking it. I kind of like where its head is, wanted to see if there were any glaringly obvious things that could be done better or other ways that people might tweak it around. ====== Created Using Wizards of the...

One slight problem: Using a weapon at reach completely precludes the use of your Oath of Enmity. You have to be adjacent to your Oath target to use the feature. Ideal weapon for an Avenger is often something that can 'crit fish'; since you're rolling 2 dice for every hit on your OoE, extending...
