uh oh Oh man, I just realized that I can't make a ranged Warlord! This is just like that time I wanted to make a Monk that used his unarmed attack abilities with a Greatsword. Or when I tried to make a Warlord in that other edition, but couldn't, because they didn't exist. And I don't wanna...

Here's an idea for ya: When details of rituals come out (and they may be few, but doesn't matter), write down a bunch of rituals you plan to use when you aren't in combat (all the time). They will be the exact same thing as your normal powers. Since you aren't in combat, you have plenty of...

Fair enough. 24-88 is still an impressive amount of damage for one round for a 1st level dude, and critting for 58 with a Daily seems broken.

Sneak Attack with the highest-base-damage weapon damage for medium-sized creatures seems a bit hard to swallow. With Brutal Scoundrel (and Backstabber, if you have an extra feat), you'd start out doing 2d6+2d8+6 (10-34) at a theoretical +6 on any given base melee sneak attack. With a Tortuous...

Heh. Gotta catch 'em all? Men have nipples, but not boobs, despite the possible advantage of better connecting with the Other gender. Personally, I think that perhaps if you want to explain Dragonborn boobs biologically, give them some sort of reasoning that doesn't have to do with producing...

Apparently, a race akin to dragons that's existed like since dragons have existed. Basically, if you're a dragonborn, you most likely have insecurity issues. Dragonborn is to Dragon as Kobold is to Dragonborn

It seems pretty obvious that 4E was designed for two reasons...to combat flaws built into 3E mostly pertaining to balance, and to make D&D more like popular MMORPGs. If you're happy with 3E, it means you've either successfully accounted for the deeply-ingrained lack of foresight in 3E regarding...

Yeah. 1) I don't have an official set of rules yet, and the pre-release is lacking. I'm not going to try to figure out how to balance the class against hugely-playtested other classes. 2) It isn't as unbalanced as you'd think; the synergies of powers within a class are generally superior to...

Feats seem rather overemphasized for having only 3 by fifth level (albeit 5 if you're a Human Ranger it seems), considering the massive number of them to choose from it sounds like there'll be. Unless I missed something and counted wrong. I guess there'll be a lot of the more obviously powerful...

Hm. Beginning to end Sam - minion to Paladin Pippin - minion to Fighter multiclassed with tool Merry - minion to Fighter multiclassed with rogue Frodo - Fighter to Fighter multiclassed with minion

I remember the days when 3.0 was new and cool and made more sense. Makes me wonder how 5E will differ from 4E.

What about mah Fighter/Cleric/Paladin/Ranger/Rogue/Warlord/Warlock/Wizard?

Ah yes, a dro lishay ruuzshe, multiclassed into justikar

You mean a dro lishay justikar, right?

I appreciate Rolemaster's system best I think...as far as I recall, you have a certain number of hitpoints that determines your general status of health and places a modifier on your rolls, and then real damage was caused by crits.

...4E doesn't give you multiclassing 50/50 options because said options would be better represented with combined classes that can select certain powers from multiple classes. WotC hasn't promoted this idea because they want to sell their books, but it's really easy to do. The method by which...

I'm not saying it isn't viable. I actually think that the combo class I made up there would be "viable" primarily because I don't believe that a party should be Defined by the roles of the classes played. Even if I did believe it, I think comboclassing could make up for holes in groups...

It'd be up to the DM. Ipso facto, it'd be up to whoever the DM deems appropriate to design. If he wants his characters to munchkin, more power to them. This is true. Again, balance is not the issue, as the contention that hasn't been contested is that it would be very hard to do this and be...

That's a poor reading. I'm not saying I'm trying to make comboclassers into unviable party members, but that I'm not trying to make them into viable party members. There's a subtle difference. What if it isn't possible, for instance? Not the issue. The kind of unbalanced I mean is the...
