    Minor Rules Questions/Thoughts

    It hurts more at the start of tiers than the end strangely. A level 5 item is 1,000 gold. A level 15 item is 25,000 gold. So this makes it look like half an item at the midpoint of heroic and 1/5 of an item at paragon. But an item is 5,000 at level 10 and 9,000 at level 11. So it jumps from...

    Irongorn, the Heavy Ranger (ranger/pit fighter)

    Huh? I thought Hunter's Quarry damage was only once a round, did they change that? Edit: Yup. That's a ninjaing. :(

    Deft Strike and OA's?

    No. Interrupts very specifically just pause the action they're interrupting, then let it continue afterwards. Unless the interrupt somehow makes that part of the action illegal. Then that would cancel the part that was made illegal, such as being immobilized in the middle of a power that lets...

    Excerpt: Swarms

    Massive defense, damage and special trip ability from hell out of no where. It looks like they took a paragon monster and just reduced it 10 or 15 levels.

    Ew. Minor action to knock down? Plus the "I eat you" aura? Ew.

    Tiefling Warlord for KotS + Extra Skill Challenge

    I hope you didn't take my post as condescending. It confused me too the first time I saw it and I hope I'm understanding the two abilities correctly myself :)

    Tiefling Warlord for KotS + Extra Skill Challenge

    Because you actually get to attack with Viper's Strike? Viper's Strike gives you one attack now and your ally one attack if the foe shifts. Commander's Strike gives your ally one attack now and that's it. The warlord never actually attacks. Viper's Strike is good for pinning, Commander's...

    Thank the gods!!!! A Warlord for KotS!

    Why wouldn't they? One's damage, one's attack bonus, isn't it?

    Tiefling Warlord for KotS + Extra Skill Challenge

    That was quick for how long they must have been in the office. Wonder if the midnight auto-release system was set to pull up the wrong (older) version of the document. Edit: Nope, modify time on the document is 9:30 this morning, heh.

    Tiefling Warlord for KotS + Extra Skill Challenge

    I've gotten way too paranoid. I was expecting a rick roll. Darn internets. Edit: Leaf on the Wind. Edit edit: Someone stole his inspiring word.

    Zombie Minions are too weak

    I really do hope there's mitigating circumstances on this encounter that I'm not aware of. Like a trap or environmental things that don't give XP because they're only dangerous in context of the zombies being around. I will be equally disappointed if they're this obviously out of wack as...

    Zombie Minions are too weak

    Ugh. Yeah, those skeleton stats do make the zombies look like XP bags. And further, that's distressing if there's nothing in the zombie encounter that actually helps them out, be it stat buffs, harder zombies or situational difficulties. They must really pay through the nose for that extra...

    Zombie Minions are too weak

    No, it wouldn't. But the goblin leader might be worth a bit more XP to show that it has an unusual ability for a goblin. Just like the minions shouldn't be balanced in a vacuum, neither should the leaders. The main weakness in the XP system is that it doesn't show synergies. That's more the...

    Excerpt: Archons (merged)

    Makes the thing annoyingly resilient perhaps, at least against ranged attacks. If you put it on ice and give it some solid blockers/soldiers, I could see it laying down the hurt. But what's up with a Shadowfell corrupted Archon? Some powerful necromancer/undead need a lieutenant? I can tell...

    "You called for an Angel of Awesome?" Actually, an Angel of Awe might be interesting. Or just generate way too many jokes at the table. Hm.

    Zombie Minions are too weak

    Yeah, minions are never EVER meant to be used in a vacuum (unless you design several minion types to work together well, but then that's still not a vacuum) The orc minions, for example, seem pretty weak compared to Legion Devils. However, orc minions will often get the benefit of a rather...
