I see an additional option: borrowing books from your D&D group. Unless you play exclusively online, if someone else in your group has a book, you could use it too.

Or you can use a polearm.

Sounds like a Primal defender to me.

1. To place limits on what powers can be combined with each other? Because you can only take the multiclass power feats once? To keep you from watering down your character too much? Because they said so? 2. Anybody. You just have to be trained in arcana or whatever and take Ritual Caster.

Check out the definition of blinded on page 277. Blinded means your targets have total concealment, not cover. Checking out concealment on page 279 shows that concealment only applies to melee and ranged attacks. Does that solve your problem?

Howling strike is great because you can use it with swift charge and the extra damage is always nice. When raging, Recuperating Strike gets much better. Instead of just a few, it's a whole hit's worth. Pressing strike is great with any weapon. If there is flanking to be had, you will...

If you want to do that, go ahead, but I don't think it's necessary. I mean, what part of magic isn't powered by skill and knowledge? Besides, I think "I did a job for a guy who turned out to be the Faerie Queen" isn't so out of place. Or maybe "A long time ago, I thought I wanted to be a...

Actually, check the rules for forced movement. You can always reduce the distance you push something, even to zero.

If a player really wanted to use a Channel Divinity power, I think it'd be fair to let them take the feat and use the power once per day instead of once per encounter. If I saw a rash of people taking Rage of Tempus, I might have to have a talk with some people, though.

I'm not familiar with the adventures you're running, but maybe you could come up with some reasons why the enemies would capture the PCs. In case you overdo it, you can segue into the PCs escaping from captivity. You probably don't want to do this repeatedly, but it could come in handy while...

A class build is just a put-together of options for when you're making a character fast. A class feature is the bonuses you get for being a rogue, e.g. Artful dodger. Edit: ninja'd by Seraph!

Maybe this "town" is really an exaggerated trading post with a major seedy element. More like Bartertown than Ye Olde Quainte Village

Check out the Footpad's Friend weapon. +Cha to damage whenever you sneak attack will come in handy a lot more often, but Laughing Death is interesting. Do you really need the muleback harness and a bag of holding? If your party doesn't already have one, get some Everlasting Provisions and...

I don't really see this as a major part of WoW's design. I mean, look at this page. This information is very different from the focussed, codified roles that 4e has. WoW designers did increase player communication about party roles due to their strict party composition. In WoW, if a party...

How about this: on gleemax

Whereas getting that extra +1 makes all the difference? Is hitting on a 9 at level 1 and a 14 at 30 so much different?

I'm not sure that's true. Low-level monsters are often concepted as smaller and/or at least somewhat dexterous so they tend to have good reflex. So warlocks and wizards heavy on reflex attacks suffer there. Furthermore, at higher levels the DM can use some lower-level monsters to fill out...

Were you ever in a party with a wizard who used time stop to cast two meteor swarms? Yeah, CubeKnight is exaggerating some, but there's still merit to his statement.

How much of the PHB have you read? Did you check out Chapter 2 where it explains the character sheet? If you missed the basic definition of defenses, maybe you should review this section before you start playing.

Well, the new edition does reward tactical play. If the players coordinate their actions, they can accomplish a lot more than if they all act alone. And it looks like you have players who are making the most of this. Try keeping them on their toes. Get creative. Maybe the monsters bust out...
