In the context of D&D, killing things and taking their stuff is at the very heart of the gameplay. If you view "outright murder" as Evil (capitalized), then you must run a very social-encounter focused campaign. :/ In the context of the fantasy genre generally, there are lots and lots of...

How can you possibly have a game running since 1991 where the highest character level is 7? :eek::confused:

A few thoughts: 1. Does anybody recall (or care enough to check) what the special effect looked like in the future where Ando "attacked" Hiro? I wonder if what looked like him attacking was in fact his "jumpstarting" Hiro's powers back in action. 2. I am actually fine with Ando and Hiro trading...

Just suggest that he use a Games Workshop warrior as his character model. All those swords are similarly ridiculously oversized. :D

The first multiclassing feats are a great deal-- a bit of power flexibility plus a trained skill. The power substitution feats are not worth the cost, except perhaps in very specific (cherry-picked) situations with synergy of that power to the base class abilities. If the benchmark purpose of...

I am a bit surprised that most folks are comparing the Invoker to (cloistered) cleric. I can see the divine soul influence. But, divine summoning says "druid" to me. :D

So would you guys suggest just keeping the mechanics for Student of Caiphon identical, and just calling the 20 Utility a 20 Attack instead? I guess that works, but the Caiphon's Hungry Mercy Power really does not say "attack" to me. Shrug.

Interesting. So, in that case, do all Paragon Paths have 11 Attack, 12 Utility, and 20 Attack?

Thanks for posting. I am most encouraged by this: "We're also going to tell fewer stories per episode. We're going to limit it to three or four with one big one that you can wrap the stories around. We're altering the structure of the show so that there's a very clear A story that takes up a...

Umm... why would you possibly buy a sourcebook for a game system that you "loathe?" That strikes me as bizarre in the extreme.

Thanks, Abyssal! If other Paths have similar changes it must be intentional, especially if those Path Powers are not optional. So, would characters taking Feytouched or Student of Caiphon have one more Utility than normal, and one less Attack?

I am planning to take the Student of Caiphon paragon path (Dragon 366) for my Warlock, but noticed that its Power Levels do not match the guidelines in the character advancement page of the PHB (p 29) or other paragon paths. Looking at all of them in FRPG, each paragon path has Attack Power 11...

Tried It Out So, this weekend I tried playing my Warlock up close and personal, using some of the above tactics. On the pro side, it did help to get combat advantage from flanking, but the con side of Opportunity Attacks out the wazoo made it not worth it. I think I took as much damage as our...

I have been trying to find/buy/cajole my DM into getting a Pact Dagger for 4 levels now. LOL I agree with you about wishing there were melee Warlock powers. I guess it might be intentional to not "steal stuff" from the Swordmage. In fact, just to get more of that "fighter-mage" vibe I...

Forked from: I'm an archer: why shouldn't I be a beast master ranger? Keteras also said: "I like Prime Shot on my warlock - but then, I also routinely go into melee range to provide/use flanks, trigger hellish rebuke and defender's marks, and off-tank with temporary hit points. To each their...

Jeff- Your post made me literally laugh out loud, because your description of yourself so matches one of the guys in my group I could have seen him writing it! Our group has foibles for each guy. Me, I am the Instigator. I like to threaten NPCs, and sometimes ignore them even when the DM is...

Vaernon- Not trying to be confronational, but curious; is this conjecture or based on economic data? My understanding matched Zil's, that low-cost entertainment like movies, games, etc. have lots of staying power in bad economic conditions because folks need the escape. High-ticket...

I would suggest starting with Swordmage, multiclass with Fighter (seasoned to taste with number of follow-up Power feats). Then move into the Dreadnought paragon class from Martial Power. That way, you get a very similar path to a spellcaster taking on the "tough-guy" melee aspect of GSA. In...

Tasty snacks? Red Bull (now replaced with Coke Zero for me)? :D

How Depressing I really want to like this show. I really, really do. But that was terrible. And the trailer for next week promises "more changes"?? Cripes. How about stopping the "big crossover events" each week and try focusing on characterization instead. Oh, right, that would require...
