You guys are aware that the Rancer multiclass feat has been errata'd, right? So you get to do an extra 1d6 damage (maybe 2d6 if you're lucky enough to hit twice, or maybe 0 if you're unlucky enough to miss twice). If you're interested in using your MC feat to get a boost to damage, the Rogue...

There's a feat, though, that lets you call your sword from up to a mile away. That house rule would turn a class feature of already-dubious use into something pretty darn useless. "Hey, check it out, I can summon my blade provided I have a telescope and we're on a perfectly flat, featureless field!"

I really love threads like this. I mean, Story Hours are cool and all, but it's nice to hear players and DMs talk frankly and openly about the mechanics of the game, as well as the fluff. I find it a whole lot more useful for giving me ideas on my own games, for getting a handle how different...

Question: do you get the benefit of Improved Fate of the Void on the first boon you active, or on all boons? Quite simply, if you two enemies die under your curse before your turn, do you get a +4 to your next attack, or a +3?

It's not drawing a new weapon. It's changing the number of hands you're using with a weapon with the 'Versatile' keyword. 'Versatile' weapons are weapons that are one-handed that you can choose to use two-handed for a +1 to damage. Examples include longswords, flails and battleaxes. Drawing a...

Another question pertaining to my Swordmage. According to the Player's Handbook FAQ: Since it's a free action, couldn't a Swordmage switch to two-handed to attack, then after the attack is resolved, immediately switch back to one-handed to regain the +2 to their Ward? It seems kind of weasely...

See, that still doesn't seem right to me. This is all Answer #11 really says: Weapon or feat it says. What about a feat like Backstabber? Also, all features like Hunter's Quarry, Warlock's Cure and Sneak Attack all have a line something to the effect of: "Once per round, you deal extra...

Really? Sneak Attack and Hunter's Quarry are maximized, too? Didn't know that... thanks for the info.

Let's say a power lets you do 2[W] damage. And let's say you make that attack with a +1 weapon. Do you apply the Enhancement bonus to damage once, or twice? Is it 2[W] +1, or 2[W] +3? Also, I never quite understood high crit weapons. Ordinarily, a critical attack lets you do max damage. High...

This almost happened on accident with a group I just joined. We have an Artificer, a Swordmage, a Warlock, a Wizard and... a Fighter. Yeah. I think that dang Fighter is going to go for the 'C-C-Combo Breaker' paragon path. If your entire party derives its power from the same source, it could...

He's a holy warrior that slays devils! She's an arcanist that sold her soul to devils! They fight crime!

A Leader + Anything should be able to survive. If neither is interested in playing a Leader, considering giving them an NPC one to run around with.

I find that (in 4e anyway) there's really no reason not to multiclass. A multiclass feat is basically a skill training feat with some bells and whistles attached. Now, if you're planning on actually buying some power-swap feats, then obviously you need to be a little more careful in your...

Hmm... don't know about that. Multiclassing to Warlock requires that you have 13 Cha, and extra Cha isn't going to do a whole lot of good for a Swordmage. I'm already having trouble with my ability score spread, trying to make Heavy Blade Opportunity and such a possibility. Plus, I'm not sure on...

I've been drooling over the Swordmage ever since I discovered it. I finally have an opportunity to possibly play one, and I'm trying to decide whether to go with Aegis of Assault or Aegis of Shielding. At first the choice seemed obvious; Aegis of Assault, right? It basically allows you to...

Why does the wizard have the highest Charisma? That may be your party wizard's problem right there...

The Feywild is a font of wild magic, right? Maybe the human civilization has grown so accustomed to magic that they're basically unable to live without it. Maybe their primary means of transportation is flight or teleportation. Maybe they designed their town like this, so now they have things...

I'm currently playing a Str/Cha Dwarf Paladin. I understand the pure Cha Paladin is probably the better choice, but I'm the group's only real, dedicated melee combatant, so I felt like I needed to pump up my Str for party balance reasons. You know, be able to hit with OA, make use of the basic...

I'm much more excited for classes than races. I'm a little worried that, if we get too many races in 4e, things will get kind of silly. I'm currently in a game where the party is seriously two dragonborns, two tieflings, and a longtooth shifter. I miss my elves, humans and dwarves, dang it...

The final battle in Kobold Hall is a young white dragon, level 3.
