I think that's too strong. Would it be [w] or [w] + Str? Keterys, fair enough about keeping it [w]. I see your point, and agree. A striker should do more damage. So, I have ANOTHER idea. Roll a STR vs AC [w] + Str attack. After the total is given (and a failure is made) the fighter can drop...

Is Rapid Strike Bracers (Free) + Gauntlets of Blinding Strikes (Standard) + Dual Strike over powered? I mean, it's four attacks at -2 each once a day. In general, I like the book. A few things seem broken and I did see some stuff that was in need of errata, but over all I liked the book.

I want wagons of death now. Seriously, a villain who does not care about the lives of his/her people using them to suicide like that'd be... pretty intense. Or if they ditch the wagon last minute to fight on the ground. Actually, that ditch a wagon technique may be something I do as a PC some...

As far as Careful Strike goes, yes. Except that what I propose is 1/2Wis mod to damage. Subbing Dex for Str appropriately. For Fighters w/ polearms it would be Hit: Str + Wis vs AC Damage: [W] + 1/2Wis But, using something like light blades would use Dex instead of Wis. Hammers would use Con...

So, I do like Nifft's solution. I think it's okay because it's a self buff, and may actually be useful for the supposed intent behind sure strike... which I imagine to be allow for a more accurate attack. Keterys' solution is good as well. I think it allows for Heroic tier use and can be used...

I think I might rather like these. I haven't thought about balance or anything like that.

I like the BGs. I think in the Ecology of the Dragonborn it was said that one's clan is more important than one's own family and that upholding that honour is extremely important. I hadn't thought about the comparison before, but I think you're right.

I want sure strike to stop being so bad. I'm thinking of having it still be [W] damage but make it Str + Wis or Dex vs. AC. Would this be too powerful? I'm thinking it would make two handed reach weapons quite a bit better. It would also make power attacking much more viable. Would it be worth...

...I built an eladrin Tempest Fighter/Rogue the other night. It was quite fun. I went for high Str, Dex, and Wis... which is probably exactly what you were thinking. I used the eladrin extra skill for stealth, so I really feel like a... fighter/rogue. Distracting Spate is love. Obviously I'm...

I really like the milestone feats and how they're similar to the reserve feats. I hope WotC or someone actually releases something akin to this, because I really dig the idea of that many options.

I think BendBars/LiftGates has given some pretty good advice. You should check in the back of the monster manual and see if the drow is okay for your game (Unless you're playing Forgotten Realms where it's a core race). Then tell the player your decision. Are you looking for lore information...

Tell your friend to pick up the Daring Outlaw feat from Complete Scoundrel. One of my favorites for that sort of character. Also, a lot of the movement and interaction skill tricks in there are nice. Acrobatic backstab saw a lot of love and use with a character a few years ago. I think Spring...

This is oddly timed. Saturday night I played the DMG kobold hall quest w/ the white dragon. I met up w/ some people through a gamers seeking gamers post, and brought one of my friends along. The group was a bit... interesting. Minotaur sword&board fighter, elf ranged ranger, an eladrin wizard...

I'll concur with Gort. I'll add let them hear about the dragon and its tactics in advance so they can purchase appropriate equipment and possibly gain a level to power swap. But... yeah... flying is difficult for melee parties.

My gut reaction is to say no. I have told several players 'no' when they requested really weird and gameplot trivializing stuff before. Sometimes I keep it in mind for future sessions or... a sort of be careful what you wish for. OTOH, if it is a request that can work with the plot... then I go...

Thank you for smoking. Best Ventrue EVAR.

Double Weapons... more useful for Tempest or 2H? At first I was expecting 2Hers, 'cause they need a little love. The defensive property and qualifying for 2WD is a nice boost to defense. But how does that compare to a Tempest Fighter who uses the same weapon and also comes w/ 2WD (they're...

I actually pronounced it however I wanted to at the moment. I used to say 'diva'. Then for a while I said it correctly. Somewhere around reading Aspirin I started saying Deva like the word Devil. I didn't like how that rolled, so I ended up back w/ the (evidentially) correct way! Huzzah me! As...

Oh man, I do love me some Tempest Fighter. But, I'm playing in a two-shot w/ some people this Saturday and next. I really wanted to play a 2WF Fighter (Surprise, right?) and had all the stats built out from a sword and board guy. I noticed that at level 1 at least, the sword and board guy w/ a...

Hey, I think I might e-mail you. Could you give a few more specifics about your 4e game? By mini campaign, do you mean module or Scales of War or... something else? Thanks a bunch!
