Nah, go War Cleric (or any cleric that gives heavy armor + shield). Take Polearm Master, Sentinel, WarCaster. Invocations for Thirsting Blade, Repelling Blast, Agonizing Blast, Lifedrinker (at 12th) That's 3 melee attacks per round with +STR+CHA at 12, repelling blast (20' of knockback...

Oh dang. I thought it kicked off Friday. WELP.

Hey guys, Anybody attending GenCon had a chance to head over to hang out with the guys from Trapdoor and try out Morningstar? Have Wizards or Trapdoor dropped any hints or made any announcements regarding digital content initiatives?

Skill challenges (of some sort) The big one is probably banned schools for Wizards (since everyone is a specialist now). More controversially, I'm probably going to require two banned schools for each wizard, one of which MUST be Transmutation or Conjuration.

Indeed. I think a Hunter Ranger (Horde-Breaker) / Rogue (Assassin) would be more accurate, taking the Martial Adept feat so you can do fancy disarms and the like. You might even possibly want to consult the DMG and work with your DM to use the rumored Subclass sharing module to put Horde...

Fighting doesn't really work like that. I think he'd be better served by grabbing the Maneuvers mechanic from Dragon Age RPG, or something similar. Assign each maneuver a point cost, and let the fighter earn points on each strike (maybe 1 per 2 or 5 points above the AC of the creature?). The...

If you want to tie it to existing mechanics and explanations, let 1 use of action surge and second wind come back with each Hit Die spent. Since hit die recovery is supposed to represent resting, recharging, and healing, that makes sense in-situ.

Honestly, I don't think you'd see too much issue with letting Action Surge and Second Wind give a level of fatigue each that goes away after X rounds or minutes. In long combats, it might mean that the fighter got to use Action Surge twice, but I'm totally okay with that. At later levels...

That's an awfully dark/purple color for the Platinum Dragon, innit?

lots more Sorcery points than they had previously. Also: no additional cantrips, ever, unless you burn spells known?

Arcane Archer may have been renamed to Spell Sniper - see that feat tucked away at the bottom of the list. (here's to hoping you haven't heard this from 99 other people already!) Edit: and Scrivener popped into correct our wild speculation! Thanks Scrivener. To add something of substance to...

I admit it, it's me. I'm the guy that likes 4e Tieflings.

best AoO build is probably a spiked-chain or Halberd wielding flurry-tripper with combat reflexes and defensive sweep.

Legion of Sentinels from Players Handbook II. Sorc/Wiz 3, conjurs 12 incorporeal swordsmen with AC 25 and attack bonus = Caster Level. Damge is 1d8+(1/3CasterLevel) per attack per swordsman. Duration is 1round/lvl. It's pretty keen combined with, say, solid fog.

Technically, I break Flurry of Blows by trading Flurry of Blows for Decisive Strike. Go with high Strength, high Dex, High Con. Everything else is gravy. You want to take Imp. Natural Attack [Unarmed Strike] (improve your damage die by one size category), Intuitive Strike (+Wisdom Mod to...

Dave, did your table find that to be "working as intended" with one character doing more damage than the rest of the party combined? I'd expect to hear some grumbling at my table if that were to happen. :)

One can hope, anyway! Although I think I might be able to do what I want with the character via Sorcerer, I'd rather continue to use Warlocks.

Anyone seen a preview for Adamant's Warlock?

Really, since the embeded components cost no premium to purchase, if you want your Warforged to have 'plating' by default, just buy him the appropriate armor and embed it during character creation. Then you don't even need to spend the feat on it. Burn that saved feat on Ritual Caster and...

eh, two weapon fighting provides a damage bonus - and Two Weapon Fighting and Two Weapon Defense stack with each other, as far as I can tell. so +1 damage, +1 AC. It could have been a lot worse. The only thing it didn't really cover is how off-hand weapon magical bonuses are adjucated. Do you...
