I've played one a bit and I have to say, it's fun having a range 20 melee attack the first full round of combat. Summon your spirit behind the lines and mess with the artillery. I find it totally vexing that they can't make attacks of opportunity with their spirit, however, else they'd be able...

Nice use of half elf and paragon multiclassing... The thing that is sad to me, however, is until 11th level you can't make a basic attack in beast form more than once an encounter. Basic melee attack is an attack power, after all. Similarly, even if you could make one, it'd be unarmed vs ac...

Burst of savagery is an epic feat, you are giving up one round of +2 damage and regen 6. For temp hp and 2d6 damage. At epic...

Epic spells take forever to develop. Most take forever to cast as well. Thusly, arcane power from evil sources will only have truly stupendously evil spells available. Plus, this is dnd. V can just, after the splice is done, go get atonement cast by some random cleric and do some silly quest...

Is it just me or is the feats for shifters generally not worth taking unless you have no real other feat to take? I mean, take the Gorebrute charge feat. It gives you +3 damage on charges but only when shifted on a longtooth shifter. It sounds okay, but weapon focus gives +1 damage on all...

If you are JUST going for crit range, you can pair a brilliant energy or sunblade with oh, say disciple of caiphon. 18-20 crit on fear or radiant powers? Sadly, it doesn't synergize with the stat requirements decently, so you'd just be getting the passives. Though, isn't only one of the powers...

Get a sunblade or a brilliant energy weapon. Then they all can be.

Isn't the urgosh a 2 handed weapon? There is your defensive, two weapon defense d12 weapon that keys crit mods off str and con.

Why can't everyone be strikers? It just makes the game more rocket-taggy then normal. Play whatever you want. If others say you need so and so class, suggest they play one if they feel so strongly. To the OP, it'd be funny if you went with a urgosh tempest fighter and went all tank striker on...

If a race or class they want to play is so contrary to normal play in the campaign you are running as to not be able to meaningfully participate in the story that everyone else is trying to play, that choice becomes non-viable. "You can, but then you'd die" is, to many people, synonymous with...

Sadly, in my playing experience, talking animals are always shape changed somethings or a sign that says, "Here there be druids." The existence of the awaken spell in 3rd ed has actually made it so it's harder to argue that such animals can talk normally. That said, I did once play an awakened...

Is there any new weapon enhancements for daggers in the phb 2 to address that daggers have no magical powers in the hands of a sorcerer, it seems?

Higher level swordmages can mark more than one person at a time. Double aegis and total aegis. How exactly are fighters marking everyone constantly every fight? Stances?

Do they lose this with a shield? Else I can see a decent amount of craghammer and board barbarians. Heck, it's already pretty good when you consider a urgosh.

I agree with the preceding. Another issue I have is that someone behind because they don't dance as well will always get farther behind assuming the good people don't just stop trying. If person a gets 250xp every time and person b gets 100 each time, person b will have to make 400xp the same...

Secure encampment. It gives you +5 stealth and perception when long resting. While nice, the -3 total from the palidin sleeping in plate with 8 dex will make the enemies still hear him clinking. So your spotty characters are not surprised when the gm decides to interrupt your long rest. You are...

A quick potential thing. Level 6 monsters are not cheap really. They only work on level 10 items or lower. You lose a decent chunk for harvesting them from bought guys.

What ever you do, don't make rules that make it so that any character can ever swim around in it naked without dieing. You will offend too many people's sense of simulationism. Though I am waiting for the epic destiny "Lava diver" that allows the preceding explicitly non-magicly. Possibly with...

The problem with skill challenges, at least for me, is that if you have no social skills for your character, it becomes just plain a bad idea for your character to be... near even the 'challenge' as your mere input can hose up the social focused people's stuff. And there is the skill challenges...

To add another fun sketch: *rolls dice* 16+4, that means I score~ Man, every time such numbers are involved, my group laughs.
