Sorry to pick on you, but your posts made me sad. Meh, way to kill creativity in an RPG. =( "You can't jump and attack because you don't have a power that says you can"...yet across 3 editions of D&D and 50+ gaming groups I've been seeing people perform leaping attacks left and right, using...

Full attacks are still pretty much in the game, as said. They're not as devastatingly more powerful, though. You need specific builds with specific powers, meaning you're missing out on other stuff. However, I accidentally cooked up a nasty barbarian recipe: 1 human barbarian 1 action surge...

I love how people assume strikers are glass cannons because that's what makes sense, but they are actually NOT the glass cannons. Controllers are glass, but they are not cannons. They're just glass. But it's clear people are just not going to listen to anything I say about this subject, and will...

Adventurer's Vault is pretty much "Player's Handbook, cranked to 11" anyhow. Nothing that comes out of that book really surprises me anymore.

Strikers only feel like they contribute almost nothing when they go on a terribad rolling streak. Controllers: Occasionally awesome, usually mediocre, sometimes awful Strikers: Often awesome, sometimes great, rarely mediocre

That's the rub, right there. You're looking at a -7 to hit on that black dragon. If you already need a 14+ to hit, that just jumped to 20. Lowering to-hit numbers is definitely more fun. A baseline of 10 to hit is fine, and I'd argue that 9 or 8 is even better.

And you stole it from the Dead Alewives. =)

This thread is going places. ;)

Yeah, controllers...too bad all their best effects hurt your allies, as I've been saying. If you can catch 3+ enemies in one spell while simultaneously not harming your buddies every time you cast, then yes, you can surpass striker damage. Also, if I guess the correct 6 numbers, I can win the...

Because in a fight, you're not given the option to wind back and swing as hard as you can every single time you attack. But instead of the DM telling you when the option becomes available, you get to declare it. Once per day.

Just attack the darkness with magic missile.

And if it's hard for strikers, how hard is it for those 3 wizards whose combined damage output on a single target is equivalent to approximately 1.5 rangers? You just contradicted yourself.

Just curious; what do the numbers look like if you do a +1 at 5th, +2 at 15th, and +3 at 25th?

Or, we're such tactical geniuses that we don't need other roles, and can survive on damage alone. Meh. Wow. I almost poo'd in my pants because I laughed SO HARD. Is someone seriously comparing all other editions of D&D to World of Warcraft, while 4e is the gleaming pinnacle of strategy...

Cool beans. =)

This sounds awesome! I wanna play. =(

Wow, that's terribad. It's not like swordmages are so powerful they need that penalty...

Yup. I can say from experience across all editions, nothing disrupts the DM's strategy like killing a whole funload of bad guys really quickly. Controllers disrupt enemy strategy by dazing them; strikers disrupt it by making them dead. Dead is even better than stunned, and it doesn't allow a...

Wow...that's...wow. I mean, it doesn't affect much in my home games, but I play Delve nights and other RPGA events. They need to fix that a lot. I know this has been said, but expertise feats are terribad not only because they're too good, but you have to take them more than once if you're...

I'm at work, what do those arcane power feats do again?
