    Do you know you're a bad GM?

    I can't imagine you have that many people wanting to play with you with an attitude like that. D&D is a group activity, so the group should get enjoyment out of it, not just one person. Now back to the topic at hand. I think my problem is that I think I'm a bad DM. At least as far as the...

    Epic Fighter is Epic

    Ok I get it not working with Hammer Rhythm, but wouldn't it do 1.5x or 2x Strength modifier damage with Reaping Strike? Not to mention any half damage on miss attacks get more of a damage boost as well.

    Barbarian Playtest Experiences

    Rages Don't stack, so instead of losing the benefits of say, Swift Panther Rage to use Frost Wolf Rage, I can use Swift Panther Rage and then use Rage Strike to deal the same amount of damage, without losing my rage benefit or having to risk the basic melee attack. That's what Rage Strike does...

    What Cool Improvised Stuff Has Your Character Done?

    Not my character, but my friends. We were busy defending our airship, and just as we dropped the last enemy the rest of his friends appeared all around us, along with the pirate captain (a cyborg dragonborn pirate) And told us to surrender as we were coming with them one way or another. The...

    Anyone currently or planning to playtest Artificer/Barb?

    I'm going to be playing a Genasi Barbarian in the campaign that's starting up this weekend, hoping it goes long enough for us to hit paragon where I plan on taking Elemental Tempest. If all things go according to plan...when he crits, he's going to crit HARD.

    Barbarian is up!!!

    Why would a TWF Ranger pump Dex? They'd be far better pumping Con or Wis and taking heavy armor.

    Barbarian is up!!!

    Except it doesn't cause a never ending loop. You can't use an Encounter power more then once an Encounter (Unless it says otherwise I.E Healing Word) Thus after the charge caused by Swift charge, the power is gone until you rest.

    D&D 4E How does the 4E Barbarian Rage ability work?

    Yes he has an Encounter power that does 3[w] damage. However it also gives any attack against you a +4 bonus to hit you. I don't exactly call that 'better'.

    Barbarian is up!!!

    Nope. Charge specifically says, you can't take any further actions this turn unless you spend an action point to take an extra action. So you can charge a minion, drop it, use an action point to activate swift charge and take out another one. That's it.

    Barbarian is up!!!

    Free action or not you're still Charging and a charge ends your turn.

    Barbarian is up!!!

    That would be great...if Swift Charge weren't an encounter power.

    AV: Double Sword: Light blade And Heavy blade?

    Nah if you're going to be a force wielder you have to be a Swordmage.

    Barbarian is up!!!

    There are 8 squares around you. You can hit upto 6 of them once or a combination of them up to 6 times.

    Barbarian is up!!!

    I'm still not convinced that a Barb is doing all that much more damage then a Ranger or a Rogue. A TWF Ranger can easily have as much or more HP then a Barbarian, a Bow Ranger and a Warlock are attacking from range so they don't need that high hp and a Rogue is focusing on not getting hit. I'm...

    Barbarian is up!!!

    It's important to remember that the other strikers can get the same armor with a feat that a barb can, the only reason it's not optimal to do so is because they all use Int/Dex, although a TWF Ranger could go the Heavy armor route I suppose easily enough. Rage Strike is a Barbarian Feature...

    Barbarian is up!!!

    Depending on the Cha build for Barbs I think a Tiefling could make a very very interesting one, especially with the great synergy with Infernal Wrath.

    Thrown weapons are a Barbs friend

    Adventurer's Vault has animals!

    Except...isn't the design standpoint that everything is Core?

    Barbarian Playtest Poll

    My guess would be a light armor high hitpoints striker, whose additional damage works like Sneak attack but is triggered by the enemy hitting you not CA. I doubt that they would use Rages or Rites for the name of Primal powers, as it has to make sense for both Barbarians and Druids as well as...

    Ammunition Woes

    What I did in my group for any one wanting to use a Bow/crossbow/sling was that Every time they got to town they deducted the price of one quiver of ammunition (1g I believe) and that lasted them as long as it took to get back to town, so if they spent a month out in the wilderness or were gone...
