And the 4E PHB is outselling the current Pathfinder books also.

And the 4E PHB is outselling the current Pathfinder books also.

Ugh, yeah sounds like a DM issue. Avengers don't do "more damage" per hit than other strikers, or even a number of well-built defenders and leaders, depending, unless something really weird happens. Their thing is they *never miss. Probably the Blood Mage Wizard Paragon Path or pre-errata Blood...

5) Serious Lack of Digital Tools. This bugs me also. 4) No PDFs (except for the basic game). Does not affect me one way or the other. 3) Nothing Much to Look Forward To/Lack of Product Diversity. This is my #1, and it's not close. The game, as it stands now, is rather bland to me. I find...

Except the hobbits wouldn't live through combat long enough to actually gain levels if you're challenging Aragorn and Gandalf. One good AOE attack from a big opponent, for example, and you have hobbit jerky. Reducing your opponent's numbers is often a great tactic, even if most of what you're...

The other thing to keep in mind is if he's countering your tendencies. If you're a common practitioner of Tag the Squishy this is a counter, albeit rather expensive for my tastes.

Double post.

And what part of BroadSWORD don't you understand? Scimitars and Glaives also work. +0? They're +2, only 1 less than the swordmage. You can also train in a "better" weapon, either through background, theme, feat or even multiclass. Weapon size is also a rather small factor in damage. Extra...

Yes, they do. The Fighter's toolbox is built towards being a meat shield with choices to either be more sticky or more geared-towards offense. The class features in 4E were such a small part of what made characters fulfill a role, but gave characters a building block to add on to, if the player...

Broadswords and Scimitars are +2 also, swords, and no t simple, as are Great Axes, Warhammers, etc. Again, they aren't restricted to using simple weapons, that's a flat-out lie on your part. They need to use the simple bashing weapons if they want the best effect from their simple, big-swing...

His basic toolbox contains a majority damage-focused elements, not exclusively, as you and others try to claim. He doesn't have a class feature d6/tier damage bump, but if you make choices when creating your character, he can put out better damage than the Warlock built for control while still...

Again, you're not understanding how the game actually works. Simple weapons are not less accurate than standard weapons, just less accurate than precision weapons (re: many of the swords). Battle Clerics MAY use simple weapons, and there are "big swing" maneuvers that gain bonus damage when...

You can build a Warlock as a Controller or Leader, though most of their toolbox is geared towards damage. You're obviously lacking understanding in the characters classes and how roles actually work. They have the curse mechanic as a class feature, which is the only real striker feature you have...

A Shielding Swormage never does "good damage", but has a myriad of ways to mitigate damage. You could hybrid it with a Warlock to gain damage, for example, trading some of its damage mitigation and HP/durability for more offense.

It's the "melee damage" build, but still not completely losing out on its basic leader function, namely basic healing ability/option and Channel Divinity (which could also be used to focus melee damage), just not geared towards extra healing, etc. It's an offensive vs. defensive option. The...

Battle Cleric was the "striker" build for Cleric, as was the later Warpriest.

The roles built in to the characters. The Battle Cleric is now called a War Cleric, for example, but it's still the same concept.

1. If the Barbarian "didn't kill anything" in FIVE levels, he needs new dice. That's not realistic. 2. The Barbarian is the 5E take on the Essentials Berserker, which is a defender/striker hybrid that wasn't very sticky but could soak damage. 3. The Rogue is doing exactly what the 4E Cunning...

So Jane had the Thief stand in the doorway to hold off the orcs?

How long have people used the term "Meat Shield" for the Fighter? "Healer" for the CLeric? "Skirmisher" for the Rogue? Probably since Day 1 as it's always been used since I started playing in around 1982 and by a guy who had been playing since the pamphlets.
