Dex/Wis, Cha/Wis, Wis/Int (probably), Int. Pretty distinct lack of Str, pretty distinct lack of MBA in a party with an enabler. Pretty distinct lack of Melee and strong IA punishment. This looks like a job for Ranger|Cleric with a Spiked Chain! Could also go with a Vigilante Style Rogue using...

It's only the [W]s and that includes weapons like Gouge that roll 2d6, the "Weapons Damage Die" is defined as the 2d6, so you need a 12 to trigger Carnage. (there was a pretty dumb argument about it, and even though this is clearly RAI and RAW, etv.)

It's funny when people mention it, because I have literally never seen a Drow Two Weapon Fighting Ranger. Everyone is so terrified of playing a "stereotypical Drizzt" or realizes that Drow really don't make good Rangers. Anyway, Avengers use 2-handers. If you want to be a striker that dual...

Can we get some info on the rest of the party? Just as often as 5th man can be "whatever because everything else is covered" it can be a "there's a glaring hole that really needs covered". Don't want to suggest something like a rebreather if there's already Str and Cha covered and the party is...

MC Ranger isn't going to solve your problem of playing an Avenger wrong, drop the Bow and pick up a 2h Melee Weapon or get permission to change your class to something that can use a Bow well.

I think "static boosts second" is misleading, there is sufficient "other stuff" that if you delay static boosts you won't be dealing much damage. Static boosts just need to be meaningful, around mid-paragon it becomes "give me all the static boosts" because suddenly every feat and item is +3s...

A lot of what you were told is wrong. 1. There is nothing wrong with Tiefling Sorcs, while they do favor Fire instead of Lightning/Thunder, they have 2 particularly impressive feats that you ought to work into your list at some point (like level 8+): Imperious Majesty (small boost to Initiative...

Level 30 optimization always bothers me. Optimization wise, it's a level at which infinite actions, infinite attacks, infinite damage, impossible to hit defenses, and being outright unkillable is possible. From a fluff standpoint, you're at the pinnacle of humanity, there is as much difference...

It's honestly a bit wrong to call them taxes. You can play and enjoy the game without them, and with a competent DM that knows how to balance encounters for the party, and parties with similar optimization levels they're basically irrelevant. Though they do fix obvious math errors in the game...

Is this something that needs to have mechanical changes? If they don't need any mechanical change, then you don't need anything to support this other than you agreeing to let them. Assuming they want some sort of Demon power-stuff... There are a multitude of ways to make your character look...

I don't hate WotC in the general sense, I just hate them right now. The iTT debacle, the slow content death followed by actual death of Dragon magazine, the absurd mismanagement and lack of support for the RPGA that almost killed LFR, the uncoordinated messes that were events at major...

It sounds very much like a single scene (1 or 2 success required) in a larger skill challenge like "Navigate the hazards of the Demonweb"

4e thing, you get most (but not all) of the features of 2 classes, in this case it's Warlock and Wizard. It's fairly similar to 3.x multiclassing.

Yes, his build is going to be pretty good at killing 1 target every other encounter, not very impressive.

Ranged stuff really is fairly poorly supported compared to melee weapons and implements, you basically have the right setup +/- a couple, but you're never going to be "Broken AF" with an Archer, best that can be done comes in just shy of Broken. Feats: 1. Bow Expertise 2. Cunning Stalker 4...

Thanks for this.
