    Careful Attack/Sure Strike: A mathematical analysis

    I support the Nifftfix. (Also, when I play fighters, OAs happen. Also, Viper Strike) [W/ this fix a] Fighter can lead into a multi-round cold cheese combo. [W/ this fix] Setting up an attack for the next round that will have a damage bonus (from something like Furious Smash or Commander's...

    Martial Power - What do you hope to see?

    Gotchya'. I think a dirty fighting rogue can be built, but I think more feats and powers in that direction would be pretty sweet. As for a martial controller, I still think a 2HFighter w/ gamble can pretty much make himself a small area controller. But, feats that make his range of attacking...

    Tempest Fighter makes me happy.

    I believe the Off-Hand property only is used with the shortsword side. Seeing as I always roll low on damage, I think I'll just stick with a pair of short swords. And yeah, MCing rogue from tempest is fantastic. I've never read the FR books.

    D&D 4E New 4e DM in need of help!

    PCs can only use 1 AP/encounter. (Some items/powers give exceptions, but that's the rule) I don't have the module. For my homebrewed games I found that one minion that moves, and then shifts into a flanking position, can provide some vicious flanking for skirmishers who move in and then shift...

    Martial Power - What do you hope to see?

    Rechan, Would you be okay w/ a paragon path that was mount-oriented? I think w/ the mount-focused items in the AV a mount focused something is probably coming at some point. More than the artful dodger rogue? I'd like to see it too (there is the Corsair in the FRPG, but it doesn't quite fit what...

    Martial Power - What do you hope to see?

    What about Heavy Thrown backrow Warlords? Also, since more multiclass feats are confirmed... what do people hope for? Build-oriented MC feats? Maybe something that would make someone a TWF Ranger for the purpose of PPs?

    Quick Draw for Rogue

    Backstabber is always a good choice for rogues. Weapon Focus:Light Blade will up your damage output. If you're all about mobility and provoking OAs, Halfling Agility and Defensive Mobility would make you pretty evasive while on the move. Lost in the crowd is good for fighting medium or larger...

    Update Surge: Previews, DDI update, Eberron article (threads merged)

    All I cared about. (I lie. Of course I care about the slightest reference to Tempest... but as far as stuff I didn't know, this is news to me)

    Martial Power - What do you hope to see?

    I too love that feat. But, I really think it could work really well in 4e. I hadn't thought of anything like that in a while... but that is a really really neat concept. Imagine a fighter whose triggered challenge attack could add in SA damage. Or, a rogue whose SA could mark. Is this what you...

    The Videogame comparison

    (This is just a general comment on the comparison in general, not any specific comparison) Do you all remember when anime was getting into the mainstream a couple years back? Almost a decade ago, Around when the Matrix could do no wrong. ~99? 3e Feats were described as anime powers. Cleave. You...

    Quick Draw for Rogue

    This is almost exactly how I played my rogue, Henry. I opted for a rapier (w/ feat) in one hand. However, I would've killed so many times for quick draw (due to various reasons I ended up using my feats for other things... like backstabber, being a faux cleric, and ritual casting - don't ask)...

    Martial Power - What do you hope to see?

    Title says it. I suppose it should be clarified that if there's something confirmed that you're hoping doesn't get pulled also counts. For me, that's Tempest Fighter. Okay, so I'm hoping for a lot of new (and valid) level 1 @-will attack powers. I'm hoping for more encounter/@-will Utility...

    So... My Group Just Broke...

    That's awful. ...happy belated birthday? If you're ever in Atlanta, I'll throw you a 4e game.

    On Marking ("Why you little . . . ")

    Mechanics. The flat out answer is that in testing the -2s stacked and it was found to ruin game balance. While I'll use the explanation of 'whoever marked most recently is the one who is messing with the monster to get its ire...' the simple fact of the matter is that the game had to sacrifice...

    What is Your *Character's* Favorite Beverage?

    Darkael stumbles into the tavern and glances around nervously. As the tavernmaid asks him about a drink he stammers, "Ah-Ah-Ah think Ah'm lost... Bu-bu-but I'll have a tea." (I suppose it would be proper for me to describe the elf. He steps as lightly and gracefully as all the others of his...

    So... My Group Just Broke...

    G'luck on finding fresh blood for the game! I've always thought that it was up to the dm/storyteller to invite new people - or to allow others to invite new people. (Danny has the worst luck ever. :eek:)

    Smart Swords!

    THAT is amazing. :D So, does Shivli bust out with a white wyrmling's breath attack when scared? I'll be honest, I only skimmed the article.

    Begging to be errata'd: Archer Ranger At-Wills

    In a House-rules thread I made on trying to make Sure Strike be less lame Nifft gave the best (and ironically first) response... I think this houserule would make Sure Strike and Careful Attack much better. I think it would give them a function other than damage - landing an important hit on the...

    Order of the Stick 597 is up!

    That's kinda' sad in retrospect. In the current scene I expected V to charm Elan/zap his mind... even though he probably would not have prepared those spells... Agreed. Elan is getting smarter every hundred or so strips (w/ only occasional regressions). I'd be pretty miffed at V if I was him...
