Rolling for stats in 4e is such a bad call [because the game is balanced towards the constriction of using a 22 pt. buy]. Maybe the other PCs didn't get 18+2 into their primary attack stat? Also, maybe the DM accidentally puts the casters' attacks against AC?

So, that reminded me of this old post. The T for Totemist sounds good too. Much better than elementalist, I have to say. ;)

Crickey! I knew it wasn't right for some reason. :D Hahaha... that would be it. So, I'm hedging my guesses back to warrior.

I concur with the Bunny.

I immediately thought of a Native American warrior. I guess the whole spirit/nature evocation thing conjured up that idea in my mind. I don't know how the concept I see in my mind could come into play - let alone how to do it w/out being offensive. Actually, why couldn't one just say...

Well it's not out, yet. I think people need to playtest/number crunch. Also, I think if wearing Heavy armor prevented them from raging or using the free action charge thingy it'd be a decent nerf. It would also preclude the Rage Strike ability. What say ye?

Ditto. Especially if I play someone evil w/ plans of RULING something. Sociopaths who destroy at whim really do not jive with my groove if ya' dig. And the prof's right about game stories. I think the modern mythology of table top games is a pretty amazing thing. I can't deal with sociopathic...

I don't think so. It is a striker who dips into defender (with this build). Sort of like a fighter dipping into striker w/ some methods. Or swordmage dipping into controller. Or cleric dipping into... whatever it wants? Oruhh... Paladin into leader. It's actually a consistency. I'm interested...

In before Henry! Butuhh... I have something you should check out. ;)

Well, going w/ the thaneborn thing and the leader aspects... I could see that. A buffing/debuffing rallying cry thing. I think the [displayed] Barb's crazy aoe-tastic close-range damage makes him kind of defenderlike (which is what he should be) but still a striker. He's sticky in a way that if...

Nope. That sort of feat is supposed to be in the martial power book. Although, a barb MC feat would've been sweet.

So, first impression... barbarian'll be a great dip into class... still. I also like it a lot. A lot a lot. I liked the variants in 3.x where barbarians were more linked to spirits etc. So... that is a flavour I can dig. Mechanics? Yes please, and more yes please. Half-elf brutal rogue MC...

Bwa ha ha ha... oh man... you beat me to it. :D Good job, though. Yeah, I feel good for being in the striker camp. Woo! Now to the readings.

I like crafting/profession skills. I never used the 3.x rules for them. The most effective I ever found prof skills were when the PCs were a tactical espionage group (think Vagrant Story Riskbreaker - but works in a team) who needed day jobs. I also once had a PC whose job 'back home' was...

...I don't actually own any books by him. :blush: How is his stuff? (Scanning through the 3.x books I kept due to their awesomeness I realized that Ari wrote some of my favorite 3.x material) I want more encounter or at-will stances. I like the powerful fighter daily stances, but some that are...

Fact: Mike Mearls is a mammal. Fact: Ninjas are mammals. Fact: Mike Mearls is a ninja who eats sacred cows. .....Sorry, I just had to reference that thing 'cause it's all I could think. *Ahem* So, I would argue that 4e drops in number of sheer options for developed Learnability, Flexibility...

I think because there is one side that is to be considered a Light Blade, then that side is the off-hand side. But, I mean... it's really to be decided by one's DM/group, ne? Like, I really think it is incredibly unclear and in my mind this makes the most sense to me. Other groups/people would...

I had a lot of fears, but almost all of them worked out okay. Most funny I had one was about the DDI table thing not being fun. Heh. Some were confirmed, but ended up being okay. Others weren't.

I had to chortle when I read this comment. Hehehand jiving jedis... hehe... So, are you thinking accuracy/damage buff? Or a defensive property? Or fighter powers that say 'If versatile and used in two hands:' ...which could be a cool subset of powers. I'm hoping for a few feats to make it a bit...

The Double Weapons blurb says the first die is the primary (or main) end of the weapon. The second damage die is for the secondary (or off-hand) end. ...it's not quite a clear definition of what they mean (but so little in this game is). However, I read it as Heavy(main)/Light(off). Sort of how...
