    Character Builder has been Updated!

    Hooray! They didn't just fix sorcerers... they appear to have fixed weapliments. Swordmages aren't just waggling their fingers anymore!

    WEarden Forms - Crippling Crush - too good ?

    I think you're talking about The Form of Winter's Herald attack. That's an encounter power; you can only use that burst attack once after you polymorph. Now, that being said... Wardens have an at-will called Weight of Earth that slows the target. They also have access to Sudden Roots, which...

    I know, right? Is there anything Seekers can't do?

    Death Saving Throw: Roll 20 or higher, spend surge then?

    Just in case the question is serious... It's the result of the death saving throw that needs to be a 20+. So if the roll of a d20 plus any applicable bonuses to saving throws comes out to 20 or better, the character may spend a healing surge. I keep running in to Encounters and LFR tables that...

    The Essentials Thief: Escaping from Light Blade Hell

    I wish. Unfortunately, the Daggermaster's expanded crit range only applies to Rogue and Daggermaster power attacks, not melee or ranged basic attacks.

    What non-"essential" characters do you play?

    OffT: You do still use powers to enhance the fight. They're just separate from the attack - either some movement buff that includes an attack buff, or a stance that modifies your at-wills. And then there are encounter-resource-based attack enhancers. I like crazy-complicated characters...

    feats for a Ranger (hunter) Forgotten Kingdoms

    Off the top of my head... Primal Sharpshooter (MC Seeker) - If you miss, you hit. If you still miss, you're an elf. You hit. You get a free skill. Although this works best with a balanced DEX/WIS build, you're pretty close -- there are two Seeker at-will powers that can be used as RBAs...

    D&D 4E 4E White Plume Mountain?

    In previous editions you had healing wands / rings / weapons / potions that didn't require any additional resource expenditure by the characters. In 4E there aren't magic healing sticks and healing potions burn a healing surge. In previous editions only the spellcasters had significantly...

    D&D 4E 4E White Plume Mountain?

    *Mmmmmm* I absolutely adore this adventure. Good times, good memories. Unfortunately, it's really not well-suited to 4E without a significant re-write. There are just too many threats to tackle without taking extended rests, and no particularly logical way to take an extended rest in the...

    Essentials classes question

    This is exactly why I'm playing a Thief in my current game. I had been playing a paragon Warden; while the list of crazy abilities at my command was certainly welcome, I knew I was spending more time figuring out what I was going to pull out of my arsenal next and less time focusing on the...

    Swordmage: Isn't it a little bit unbalanced?

    Oh, no argument - the paladin mark is unsurpassed when the defender is in a bad way. The hospitaler rider is fairly supreme on top of that. Nobody compares favorably to significant non-surge healing as a non-action rider atop a defender mark that's triggered regardless of whether or not the...

    Swordmage: Isn't it a little bit unbalanced?

    I'm a firm believer that swarms should get a Close Burst: Aura attack as an immediate action at the start of the first adjacent enemy's turn. Defenders can do some pretty stupid things to swarms because of those single target autoattacks. Still... yeah. Hospitalers will wreck swarms...

    New CB printing madness

    You can try different PDF printers. The default Adobe printer that comes with Acrobat (standard) generates sharp, small files. If you're focusing on free options, PrimoPDF also generates small files, but I'm not pleased with the image quality (although there's probably some setting I could...

    A Paladin Problematic

    UGH. Bradaman's Weapon received a silly-good upgrade when Divine Challenge was revamped for Essentials. As-was, if the paladin didn't engage both targets, he couldn't re-Challenge anyone for another turn. With that restriction now lifted, Bradaman's Weapon is crazy-potent.

    A Paladin Problematic

    Gift of Resistance only works for characters within five squares of the Paladin (effectively aura: 5). If he's managing that while simultaneously kiting an encounter worth of critters and not getting mercilessly beaten down, I'd be impressed. Hospitaler's Challenge: Keep in mind that Divine...

    Shadowdance armor is out of Seekers of the Ashen Crown. I suspect that equipment introduced in adventures didn't make it in to the builder. That's certainly reportable. ((No, wrong - it's a different issue. Shadowdance is supposed to be both cloth and leather, but it only shows up as a cloth...

    Or, assuming we get the export function soon, build them online, save them locally, and upload them to iPlay4E. Then you'll have a character in a playable format absolutely anywhere, including on your phone. Just download from iPlay4E and import back in to the character builder when you level up.
