I've been playing around a bit with a Half-Elf Warpriest (good synergy now that Con+Wis is an option) and found these interesting powers to take for Dilettante. Only two of them solve the ranged attack problem, but I like them all. Battlemind: Conductive Defense Druid: Dynamic Assault Seeker...

This is the approach I would take. Adventurers play by a lot of rules that don't match the rest of the world. Alignment is another example: many parties are composed entirely of characters who are Good or Lawful Good, making them equally unusual in most campaign settings. That's not even...

That's depends on the campaign. Let's say you have a DM who is (for the sake of this hypothetical) a "good" DM, but also one who doesn't have much time for preparation. That DM might find it difficult to adjust; after all, there is both an old character exiting and a new character entering...

Well, I'm no expert -- my own hijinks are strictly client side -- so your guess is undoubtedly better than mine. But it does look like they did something less than ideal.

The text for the Hunter's Disruptive Shot is blank on the power card on the character sheet.

Good lord man! That you could even mention the existence of such behavior clearly indicates that your own decadence is well advanced.

That's a serious issue that doesn't get a lot of discussion. It's one reason why I tend to build characters who focus on damage and not conditions. One can always tweak for penalties to saves, but that's the kind of CharOp that I really don't enjoy -- too single-minded. Yes, and I can't...

I suppose they are doing a case-sensitive match to speed up retrieval, but I hope they actually tested how much time that really saves, because it's just asking for bugs.

Well, first off, you can point out that a Twin Strike-ing Ranger can easily do 16 damage every round, as can a Brash Strike-ing Fighter or a Warden using Weight of Earth with Crippling Crush. 16 is good, but not ridiculously so. Next, you can remind the DM that strikers are supposed to be able...

I get a variety of results if I try to take Warpriest at-will powers from the other domains as my human bonus at-will power. A Sun Warpriest can take either Storm power, but neither of the Earth powers. A Storm Warpriest can take both Sun powers and Earth's Endurance but not Weight of Earth...

For a penguin, you look suspiciously like a tree...

Count the little boxes at the bottom of the power card. It appears to be correct.

Fixed: The Knight feature Greater Combat Readiness now shows up on the character sheet. (By which I mean the bonus; I believe it already showed up in the feat list.) The Human bonus power Heroic Effort now shows up on the character sheet. Not fixed: The Devout Warpriest utility 11 power...

But it's so much more comical when the only person who realizes what's going on has to fume and fret while the others make a hash of the negotiations!

Or a weak character and a standard character. True, to the extent that feats are only one factor in a list that includes ability scores, skills, powers, items and the synergy between them. I've seen several weak characters who were handicapped primarily by their feat selection. Many feats...

In my last game session, my level 5 Tactical Warlord ran out of healing very quickly, and even with only three party members it doesn't go very far. Oh well, the extra damage makes up for it.

In a nutshell (because I only have a moment) 4e -- as well as 3e before it -- lets me make characters that match the concepts in my head, in a way that 2e and earlier versions never did.

Just don't volunteer for sentry duty when there are Red Dragons about -- you don't want to end your days as a charred Shard Bard guard.

And Stoneheart Warrior at epic allows Dwarves to use SW as a free action, which is even better. It will be interesting to see if WotC changes those two feats to make it apply to Dwarven Resilience rather than to Second Wind. But if someone from WotC reads this: Please don't make that change...

I have found that I can always log in via the DDI home page, and then go to the CB without needing an extra login. But if I try to log in via the CB's popup, it fails.
