I've only built one or two swordmages myself (still have to play it), but from the looks of it, Coronal Guard is a very good Shielding Swordmage PP. It's all-out defensive, with Improved Silver Shield (10+CON Temp HP on Shield trigger) the biggest bonus. Combine that with their Encounter power...

So... as I understand it, this whole thread comes down to a couple of things. Attack and AC curve in such a way that high levels no longer result in auto-miss or auto-hit depending on your BAB. Ability scores and racial influences matter strongly across the board (related to point 1) At all...

PHB page 278, on Durations: <...> Starting on the turn after you create an effect, you sustain the effect by taking the indicated action: a standard action, a move action, or a minor action. (You can sustain an effect once per turn.) <...> So no, you can't sustain it multiple times per turn...

EDIT: Double Post.

Short answer: yes (although there are powers/paragon path of other classes that mark). Long answer: marking gives a -2 to attacks from the affected creature that don't target the marking character; depending on what placed the mark, other effects may apply (e.g. Fighter's Combat Challenge and...

If he's purposely assing up his role like that, then either one of two things is happening: 1. He should play another role 2. He's being a jackass I'd try talking to him, see why he's so interested in playing a character that does what he does. Maybe he's better off playing a rogue, or a...

The written text is correct (this has been confirmed by WotC a while back); this seems to be true in general confirming conflicting data: text trumps table. So multi-classing into Fey Warlock will give you Eyebite. Great with those action points. Edit: Blasted Ninja's!

Eh. I think the whole reasoning behind 'pass on the keywords of a wand power to all powers with the implement keyword' is iffy, at best. The advantage of a wand is an extra power (encounter/utility) usable as a daily power. Putting keyword inheritance on top of that causes all sort of problems...

It means that Frost and Fire weapons can give their keywords to powers that use them, which in turn turns on feats that work of those keywords (such as the Tieflings' Hellfire Blood and the Cold feat chain). This enables such things as the perma-CA rogue for weapon users, but would get...

You, my friend, are made of awesome. Thanks a lot :).

I don't see the issue. This is an epic-level item we're talking about. Even if area attacks don't turn you visible, they still hit you, and even with a Stealth in the mid-30's, a +28 Perception check still has a decent chance to sense your presence. And if you're standing around being all...

Ah... in that case, my apologies. I had missed that, and figured this might be a likely alternative. Nothing to see here...

I'm not sure if this has been suggested elsewhere, but more than a few times over the forums I've seen the idea that a half-elf gets a bonus at-will power based on another class' encounter power. This idea is based on the half-elf pregen for D&DXP, which had a wizard at-will power as an...

Hrmm... We have to look at this one in a vaccuum, I take it, and not in the existing feat-tree (Cleave requiring PA, for instance, like mentioned before)? Likewise... are we to compare the feats amongst themselves, or to the 'math gloat' that was 3.5 PA? Well... let's look at the options. A is...

Seconded.

I remember this being explained before, but for some reason I didn't quite understand it up till now (specifically: Blast is the new Cone). Thanks for the ASCII art, mates :).

There we go. That should do it.

Thanks, will fix.

You're welcome... I'm going to use him myself in my upcoming playtest, and wanted to give the player a nice sheet like everyone else, so I went to work. As for the error: good catch! Will fix it once I get home today.

For those that would like to use this character in their test sessions, I've fooled around with Adobe and modified dotreptile's Elven Rogue character sheet to this one. I took WotC's own Halfling Rogue picture from their Ampersand Article for portrait purposes. This pdf follows WotC's approach...
