Not sure if you have the books yet. If not, hold out, trust me - there is some awesome stuff waiting for you there. You use the word Oomph. Let me put it this way. You said it already, but feats are less awesome in 4e. At first I was a bit irritated, but looking at powers, it really feels like...

1. I think you are overestimating the AC of monsters. The AC of big T, a high armor level 30 solo, is only 43. Dagger Rogue. 15(half level) + 4 (dagger with proficiency) + 6 (magic weapon) + 2 (combat advantage) + 6 (Dex score) = 33. Bam, 50% to hit rate, and I am definitely missing probable...

I believe that sneak attacks (and hunter's quarry) are maximized on crits. From what I have read in the books, all damage from an attack OTHER than special critical hit only things are treated as maximum. Though both of you bring up valid points, on a second read-through I maintain that these...

Its hard to give an in-depth analysis without actually playing against it. I'm not one of those posters who reads stats and jumps to some insane conclusion. That being said, it seems to be insanely tough. It attacks fast, hard, and often, its attacks ignore all resistances with the cool and...

Huh, interesting question. As a DM I would just let you do it, but RAW it looks like you would have to use dex.

I like it, but it feels way to powerful for an at-will. Make it an encounter and boost it a bit. Something like. Encounter Immediate reaction Str damage and target is knocked prone no attack roll required upgrades to 2xstr and 3xstr at higher tiers.

Yes, that is cool. Easy peasy to houserule too. looks like fun.

Those are just places to do all of your combat math up front so you dont have to scramble around when applying them to your powers. Most classes have about 2 'attack stats' which is what you can put in the ability place, etc. For instance, in attack you might put +3 for proficiency, +4 for...

Yes, 1 type per weapon. Stat bonuses are gone because if they exist, players require them to be their best. Powers are attached to weapons and items because it makes them unique and exciting, for the most part. Whats wrong with recharging on a milestone?

I didn't feel like reading all the moaning, but I just thought I would include my compact 2cp. Artifacts are now specifically a DM plot tool, the DMG includes some classic examples but basically says "use your imagination": THIS IS AWESOME. Artifacts are now more than just slightly better than...

Just wanted to bring up something no one has yet. While you are right about the crapiness of the greatsword, versatility works a bit differently I believe. The difference is that versatility does not factor into power [W] Multipliers. I'll explain. Fighter uses some power that does 6[w] with...

Zsig, I am not 100% but I believe the rule on page 278 is referring to the 'critical only' extra dice, like the magic item bonus and the bonus from vicious weapons, etc, high crit weapons. I think it works like this: You crit All damage you would roll on a normal hit is maximized, no roll...

Good catch. This is awesome.

Mustrum: when I said mark i meant Divine Challenge, so yeah, we are on the same page :) Yeah, I'm DMing, so when she picked out the power she was like "DAMNIT THATS AWSOME, awww, wait, it wouldnt make sense for a nieve young paladin of Pelor to have a spell like that" "Well no, but go ahead...

Okay, so I was helping my girlfriend roll up her character for the 4th edition campaign and she stumbled upon a pretty nice little move for her CON focused half-elf paladin. For her at-will gained as an encounter, she chose the warlock power 'dire radiance'. Dire radiance is something like con...

Do NOT discuss where to get illegal materials. Doing so will get you booted. Thanks. ~ PCat might be a good place to look (definately) if you need the books now. BUT ONLY IF YOU HAVE A PREORDER, SERIOUSLY. Its just that these buy.com people are torturing us! Gaahhhh!

Random. You are kingly! This is great info, thanks a ton! Anything thats new and interesting you would like to share? (I would love some info on some of the rituals in the book, but the more the better!) Again, superkudos for any info!

I always do homebrew settings (with the exception of our last game, which was in Ebberon) and they are usually pretty crazy like Fallen Seraphs. I mean this in an absolutely good way, these games are awesome! Fallen Seraph, I actually ran a game that featured a 'god machine', It was essentially...

I bought a giant steel d20. The. Thing. Is. Damn. Heavy. A little to heavy to be used for every roll, but damn is it fun. My ritual (as DM) is to only use the die when my roll is of some magnitude. I let my players use it under the same circumstances. In 3.5 we confirmed criticals with it and...

Yay for these reviews! It seems like your party really was collected and together about the whole thing, I've heard a lot of horror stories about TPKs (especially at this encounter), and having read KotS myself it seems like a very tough series of fights. Glad to hear that a tactically adept...
