So discussing those is even worse given the time till their release.

For ease of use it is best to assume that SA/HQ/WC deal the same type of damage the attack it is used with deals. But WotC could have made this whole discussion moot by adding after: "[...]the attack deals extra damage of the the power's type it is used with."

DMs should/could check the rules and every item, feat, class, PP and so on and see wether they are broken or not. To be honest I don't do that (for all things I mentioned). I read posts on D&D boards and if something catches my attention it might be good or poor or maybe broken. But I will read...

Neither Twin Srike nor AoEs grant additional actions. They give you more attacks with one action. The additional attacks produced by an AoE are spread out among all the targets of the AoE, they can't be focused. You could focus your attacks if summons were able to attack with a minor action...

Which usefulness beyond their synergy? I'm not sure if your read my posts and even looked up the weapon enchants. I get the feeling that you already made your decision and hoped to get more people who would be on your side. Where is the problem the player decided to pick an easy way to get...

Good question. If the unconscious target has that condition due to a magical/special effect (e.g. sleep spell) it will not wake up after the first attack, and not after the last one, or maybe never ever again. So let's assume a sleeping creature which would wake up after first taking damage...

You suggest an at-will for beastmasters' that works similar to twin strike so they can catch up. The question is, should I give everyone "Twin Strike" or should I remove Twin Strike? Since AV was released Twin Strike has increased its power. I think it was fine with PHB only...

There are always situations that play to the advantages of your opponents. The point is that you can get decent defenses if you play clever and use your resources wisely.

I don't think that +5dmg for a special weapon enchant paired with two feats is a problem. Take a look at reckless, bloodclaw, footpad's friend, radiant, and subtle weapons. They do not need feats tow work and deal starting at the +2 version an roughly equal amount of damage (except for the last...

Please remain on topic Regicide if you have a problem with dual/twin strike fork this thread or start a new one. I'd like to hear more opinions about the new summoning system.

I don't think that it is bad for the game at all. 1. The rogue needs a specific weapon enchant, so he can't choose other magic weapons that are quite popular for rogues. 2. He needs two feats two make the combo really work. 3. There are cold immune monsters. 4. He must hit first to gain CA with...

You know it is nice to mention this but you have to consider the following: You can't have everything with every build! Sometimes you have to sacifice options for a higher success in surviving encounters. Decide what you want but don't blame the game that you have to make choices that are...

Forked from: Help with Rogue My advice check out the WotC Boards, go to the CharOp Board, the Library Thread, choose Leader, and take a read in one of the Warlord Guides. Just a note on ability scores: Taclords need STR, INT, then anything else.

I know that to resist untyped damage you need 'resist all'. I wanted to show that there is no such thing as resist untyped which leads to a large number of attacks which could easily bypass 'elemental' resistances. Insubstantial does not care about damage types, it halves damage all the time...

I think that assumption is wrong because there is no such thing as "Resist Untyped X". Furthermore, look at the Swordmage Daily 1 Burning Blade Power. You deal extra fire damage with your melee attacks. So your melee attacks do untyped damage + fire damage, by your reasoning you would have a...

-Indeed. You have two options now either use a feat for the defensive weapon and get a Pact Blade or use a Mage's Weapon, and what ever implement you like, and think about what I said.

An easier way would be get yourself a +1 mage's weapon (AV) with the defensive property, no feat wasted. The problem is that you must dual wield melee weapons for the defensive weapon's bonus to kick in. Implements are no melee weapons. You can say that implements are treated as improvised...

Use Piercing Strike (ROG at-will). It targets REF instead of AC which is usually at least 2 points lower than AC. If you like Backstabber take it, it is a good feat. If you believe that you need that +1 to hit right from the start go with Nimble Blade. But if you chose Backstabber at lvl1...

So it seems like a bit more book keeping. But I think it won't slow down your games in most cases.

I like to point you to this thread. Read it and think about it.
