I dunno about you guys, but I've spent just an awful lot of time in the gym over the last 6 or 7 years, and the result is that if I were to go back in time I could break my old self in half and laugh at my pitiful mewlings. However, for all my efforts I'm not an Olympic class weightlifter. I'm...

Except that now the halfling can take feats that make him harder to hit when he goes into melee with larger opponents. The bigger characters may be dealing more damage, but they'll also be soaking up more damage.

But would he use a club as a greatclub? Then could he use a greatclub as a weensy little battering ram? A quarterstaff as a polearm? You'd have to create a whole lot of analogs and the seeming elegance would quickly be buried under a pile of rules.

I'm gonna call shenanigans on people not knowing arrows traveled in an arc. Ancient people weren't stupid (in fact, anthropologists contend that they were smarter than we), and all they would have to do is watch any free falling body to see that it moves in an arc. Now, they may have described...

How long does it take for your shoulder to get tired from lifting a sword? A dagger?

Potato salad and non-alcoholic lager, just like he brings to the church's potluck.

Oh where, oh where has my tiefling gone? Where, oh where can he be? With his horns cut short and his tail cut long, oh where, oh where can he be?

Except that plate armor was expensive and rare. Most opponents would have been covered with a mail hauberk over thick cotton padding. I think we're kind of agreeing with each other, though. Most fights between plated opponents were finished by one guy getting thrown to the ground (often...

Burst has an 'r', 'r' gives you 'radius', which tells you how to measure burst. Yay! I found a mnemonic! I r smrt!

Which defeats the purpose of trying to sneak attack with a greatsword. It'd be like coshing someone. The great damage of a greatsword comes from swinging a weight of metal at speed. The ability to grab the blade and bash someone with the pommel was for close in dueling, judging from the...

To add to the info about the greatsword, five pounds may not seem like all that much, and in fact it isn't. But only when it's right there in your hand. Once you stretch that five pounds of metal out to a three or four foot length, you've got a heck of a lot of torque. And you have to control...

I believe you mean warlord? But we've only seen four powers for the warlord. So far as we know neither fighters nor paladins can use ranged weapons either. Nor can the cleric. Or the rogue. Or the wizard. Apparently, only the ranger is ranged! I'm doubting that's the case.

I agree with GnomeWorks. It's patently impossible that the PHB will have any support for a ranged Warlord. The information they gave us was clear; warlords are, forever and always, melee fighters. Not only can you not alter builds to suit your needs, but you are in fact not allowed to make...

You now get a saving throw to fall prone rather than fall off, I believe, but your point remains.

As far as I can tell there are two ways to get a 50/50 fighter/mage in 4e. Either you are a fighter until level 10 and then multiclass to mage for your paragon path, or you're a mage to 10 and multiclass to fighter for PP. So at 2, 6, and 10, you'd be just the one class. The other method...

Once I got past the KFC delivery, I was struck by another piece of awesome. I'm going to start calling them salvation throws. It's just better.

Multiclass to rogue if you want all the spelling nitpicks you can get.

Dude, warn people that when they click on that link they'll be looking at the end of a severed finger, why dontcha?

Sheesh, you make one sex jokes and the pedants can't leave it be.

Okay, there's an issue that no one has brought up and which is of central importance: celibacy. If you have high charisma, but want to serve your god, then obviously warlock is the way to go because it's the only way you'll get to use your charisma in the other kind of combat.
