    People like to move around and do damage. Also, probably the easiest role to design for.

    Yeah, it specifically mentions that you can choose to use only one of the FD techniques in a round if you want, which presumes you can do both in the same round.

    Good points. It seems like the movement techniques manage to stay quite similar (the Development article mentioned they're basically in 4 categories), at least, although that's small consolation since they're not as flashy as the attacks.

    That's how it is for every single class, though. Everyone makes tough choices as they level. I think the main "cool things" are coming from the At-Wills. Maybe they need to be a bit more...cool, or something?

    You attack an enemy with an attack power, and hit. This now lets you use Flurry of Blows, which is a free action, targets anyone in your melee reach, and has the effect of doing your wisdom modifier in damage. If you use this on a target that wasn't included in the original attack power, it...

    Nope, no Attack. Just Target --> Effect.

    Melee touch, target one creature, does wisdom mod damage. If the target of the Flurry wasn't part of the attack you made to open it up, it'll take the damage AND be slid. Or in the case of a minion, knocked back into a glass window, arms flailing.

    Man, I just love the idea of using Flurry of Blows to kill adjacent minions. That being said, minion-loving DMs are going to hate Centered Breath monks. Dare you put more than one minion against the Monk? If he hits one, he kills two.

    I'm reading it as you can do both in the same round in any order you want, but you can't use the techniques from other Full Disciplines in that same round. So if you do the move technique from Crane's Wings, you'll be doing either the attack technique as well, or a Daily, or a multi-classed...

    Well, it's got a 1st level encounter discipline called Drunken Monkey, so I'm sold. :D Really, though, those powers just look so...FUN. Very easily slides into the secondary controller spot, like the Bard. And that's just one build! The Full Discipline keyword is a bit stupid, though, but...

    OOTS 652: No Respect for the Wicked

    I'm not sure, and maybe I'm just so terribly nerdy it's not even funny, but... Actually, there's no "maybe" about how terribly nerdy I am.

    Humor (sort of): Do you do these ILLEGAL things? An informal poll.

    Probably should stop hitting on guys at bars called "The Piledriver." I feel your pain, I've flirted with a few lesbians in my day, unknowingly. The upshot is, they tend to make good drinking buddies.

    What is playing 4e like for you?

    Depends on the campaign. I'll choose Rappacion, my 15th level Hexblade (which is a Beastmaster Ranger re-fluffed so that the Hunter's Quarry is a "Hex" and his Beast is actually his Dark Companion from the ol' 3.5 PHB2.) Rappacion isn't seeing any play tonight due to Mother's Day. :( About...

    It's hard to avoid arguing

    I am right about everything ever forever, and everyone on ENworld will share my opinions, or perish under the weight of their own ignorance. Or something. :) I've been pretty bad about getting into arguments without regard to the original thread topic. Usually happens late at night, and the...

    Pathfinder 1E Elephant in the room/thread Forked Thread: Pathfinder - sell me

    Well, your reckoning is wrong. The personal spin you're putting on this class is the only reason you're seeing all these "problems." I'm sorry, rounser. :( I wish there was something I could say that would get you to come around to reason.

    Pathfinder 1E Elephant in the room/thread Forked Thread: Pathfinder - sell me

    That would depend on your definition of "soldier," of course, and order around is implying character personality, which could be quite varied. A guy who leads a band of like-minded people into battle, and wins consistently, isn't considered a "warlord?" I'D sure as heck consider him one. Also...

    Pathfinder 1E Elephant in the room/thread Forked Thread: Pathfinder - sell me

    I'm going to highlight the key word. This is a problem for YOU. That's perfectly legit. It is NOT, however, a problem with the SYSTEM. The Warlord is a perfectly fine class. Do you have the same problem with a Bard? With a Cleric of a god that none of the other characters worship, or...

    I like 4e, but I miss... Forked Thread: I like 3E, but I miss...

    I miss the feel of 3E feats. Except for the few that would give you +2 to a few skills or an attack bonus, a lot of them really felt like something different you could do (or helped make things you could do, but suck at, not suck). It's the opposite with 4E feats, from what I see...most give...
