The thing with Save or Dies to me is that every argument in favour of them seems like a situation where it should be "just die" Which I'm fine with. Save or die is where I have the problem. If I look at a medusa, and the medusa is meant to be full on greek-myth medusa: I die. I don't "Save or...

Indeed. Apart from issues of feat support, the human one is almost entirely superior. If the human one was +3 it'd seems more balanced, but *meh* Still on the fence about essentials. Glad they're being made (and not just stuffed into the main books) not sure if I'll be using them

If searching, click enter repeatedly. It moves you on to the next example. With items this will loop around when you hit the bottom. With feats it won't, which is extra irritating.

Oh, quick check, this is wanted as a melee warlord, not archer, right? Melee has the whole flanking thing going for it, I'm guessing that's more appropriate. Oh, and starting level? So far, power-wise, I'm thinking: Intuitive Strike. For use when the rogue needs help hitting. It's Vs. will...

That's actually slightly unfortunate, because the monk is the hardest one for her to make use of. Still. First piece of advice for her: If nai_cha has missed that turn, and still has CA, give nai_cha another attack. The sneak attack damage is major.

+2 damage isn't really that useful at high levels. +2/+4(epic) or +2/+3/+4 would be less of a target for retraining. Most at-wills that are Basic+damage have the damage tied to an ability modifier. Usually, that'll be the PCs secondary, making it scaling. If there are other reasonable stances...

Are you wielding daggers? If so, your ranged-basic may come up occasionally. So, we've got at least two good basic attacks, Seeker and Fighter. Cool. You're stuck with inspiring presence etc.? I suppose the extra healing is handy. How would she feel about rarely attacking, but rather getting...

You're a rogue: melee or ranged? If melee, do you like hitting people while they're down? Race? Who else is in the party? Warlord's, even more than most leaders, depend on the party composition.

The essentials fighter certainly has encounter powers; there's one in the article. It's one you can just pull out after using a mba, but that's not too bad, makes it reliable without having to bother with the keyword (if you miss, you don't use the power) I just hope they don't give multiples...

I don't see that. This fighter switches stances, essentially meaning that the at-will he just used is also his opportunity attack. And he gets more stances at higher levels. His one encounter power we've seen is usable only when you've already hit: ie. you can't waste it, but you don't have to...

I don't stick by the book exactly, but I would never change the name of a well-known race like Elves, without good reason or major changes to the race. I can't see the value added; it seems like it'd kick people out of immersion having to translate the word "elf" to something else every time. I...

At 10 times larger I'd give the rider total cover, except on rounds when he has attacked (when he'd have superior cover): unless the players figure out some way to get above the mount. If the PCs are above the mount, let them target the villain IMO. It's not going to be easy to get above/on top...

Or, you use rogue powers when you have combat advantage and non-rogue powers when you don't. Means you can put less effort into getting CA, but still benefit from it when you do.

I'd allow them to be looted, but when used by anyone who isn't a kobold it'd take a theivery check to use them right. Otherwise, they hit you. Oh, and they'd work like any magical ammo: they over-ride the enhancement bonus of the weapon. With +0. EDIT: @camelot's xp comment: I like to be...

I'm surprised stances don't end upon unconsciousness. My inner simulationist is making muffled noises, as he struggles under the piles of fun :p

I like the new power. But I don't get why it couldn't co-exist with the old one. Update the old one to a new name, and then add this one as well. Two options for ranged basic. One autodamage, one more damaging.

I'm wondering now whether it will actually be a correspondence of that sort of strength with all the classes. Rogue->Halfling... seems plausible. Wizard->Eladrin... would certainly fit Elf-> Fighter?

D) He's getting peppered by the invisible target, right? So, he's going to go "bolt come from that way" and charge at where the bolt came from. It's what I'd do if I was a frenzied berserker. Of course, if the invisible target had any sense, he wouldn't be shooting the berserker, he'd be...

Falling large distances should take time. 200 feet, real-world, would take more around 3 seconds. That's gonna be at least one action. A safewing amulet sounds like it slows your fall. Probably at least 5-6 seconds in that case. Your turn is ending while you fall.

One ally vs. you and all your allies seems like a significant difference to me.
