Oddly enough I don't think hybrid classes get any "free" skills. With "free" I mean like the Wizard automatically gets Arcane and the Cleric gets Religion. However a Wizard/Cleric hybrid would have neither automatically. That should be rectified with a house rule I think...

Actually, assuming that you can only take the Hybrid feat once this wouldn't be true. Eldritch Blast is a different class feature then Eldritch Pact. This means a human Warlock Hybrid will only have 4 at-wills rather then their usual 3. I like the new rules though.

Maybe in your game but I'm thrusting flavour down my players throat. We're also slowly abandoning silly things like "one summon at a time because we don't want the Druid player to have an extra 30 seconds of play" It's one of the things we're introducing with the necromancer. x amount of...

If you want to play Dungeon and Dragons 4th edition you'll need the first Players Handbook. The second one only lists additional classes, magical items, feats etc. It's nice to have, some would say the classes are better, but you need the rules in the first one to play.

I corrected it for you.

I've been thinking, what makes a Necromancer a Necromancer? In 4th edition some of the classes have been reinvented, given mechanics unlike previous editions. Classes do not need to be a direct translation from previous editions. Which begs the question, what is the essence of a Necromancer...

Finally, FINALLY WotC creates a well balanced and entertaining class. THANK YOU VERY MUCH! I was so sick and tired of having to modify every single little thing! Finally the class that my game needs!

Cloak of Resistance (PHB p250) does exactly that. 5 resistance to all until the end of your next turn (more resistance with higher level versions)

Am I the only one that thinks Martial Power is more OP then Dragon?

Hmm, here's something for the history buffs. But wasn't Scorching Burst well likes when 4th edition first came out?

I'd change the Strength requirement to Wis. It makes more sense and fits with the whole cosmic perception. Emphasise the cursing and Cthulhu aspect of the Starlocks and the "intune" aspect of "Cosmic" Sorcerers. Unless Sorcerers have a "secondary pact" thing like Warlocks have we should be...

Goodman Games I noticed that Goodman Games is bringing out a book with the Necromancer class in it... I hope it's innovative and good. I wonder who's be writing it? also on another note it seems that the Eladrin book has been pushed back. I wonder why? Oh well, gives me more time to write my...

YES! This was it! That was driving me crazy! I only thought about it because my ST kinda.. lost their notes. Must never happen again. No... but I do like it and am certainly happy to have it bookmarked

I could have sworn I saw a nice link in a post the last week here but I can't for the life of me remember what it was. It was a link to a site that hosted RPG wiki's for campaigns. It had places where you could write characters, decide what information was available for the pulic etc. Anyone...

That's something that I noticed as well. It didn't have to be out of a desire to torture (although under influence of the other three souls it might be)

Don't forget the Rakish Swashbuckler Paragon Path in Martial Power

It doesn't help that humans are one of the more boring races. But that's just because lots of people want to be something different.

I disagree with the blog but I would like to say, while 4th edition doesn't hinder roleplaying much, it doesn't aid it much either. Although these "backgrounds" mentioned in the PHB 2 are a nice step in the right direction. Still, if you want a game that truly supports roleplaying there's...

Not quite sure about that. With the exception of Radiant Servant Avengers, Dagger Masters crit more. And the TWF Ranger seems to use Twin Strike so often that he crits just as much as the Avenger and finds it easier to get a higher crit range in Epic because he can pass the Strength requirement...

I thought of that myself as well but didn't consider the Avenger to have sufficient Radiant powers. Not even one useful at-will (the at will that does radiant is ranged so wouldn't work with the oath iirc) But I just remembered, wasn't there a weapon that turned damage into Radiant? And wouldn't...
