Just wait til you get to paragon and run out of leader powers to take.

According to a strict reading of the 'Taking other powers' sidebars in Lands and Kingdoms, Essentials classes can't take lower-level powers than the one they're getting rid of. So technically this is by the rules, if dumb.

Plus there's the Platinum Pouch, which changes out your silly plebian-type money for heavenly, shiny platinum.

Ill have to argue this for my crow-riding halfing ranger|rogue. :D

On the other hand, any time an LFR author wants to significantly change a monster for an LFR module, they have to vet the change with development. Kif, we have a conundrum.

What annoys me about Consecrated Ground is that a Close Burst 1 that creates a moveable zone makes the rules cry. Either the zone ends instantly, or it has no range limit.

To me, the title of the Advanced Dungeon Master's Guide will be meant to answer two questions: a) Wait, what was in this book again? and b) Is this book for me?

Well, you can only be in one at a time. If you enter a rune state that gives you resist all 10 instead of giving all your allies +1 to attack. That's less leadering going on. I play LFR. I have to use item rarities.

If the PCs aren't in a rush, aren't being threatened or distracted, or it's a mundane task, why does it matter? If it's reasonable, say they succeed and move on.

My theory for battleminds is to deal so much damage that the monsters think you're another striker. That and Conductive Defense from Psionic Power. The mark punishment I've always wanted!

But don't take my word for it! Buh-dun bew!

I think they made a concerted effort to have no noob traps. Alternately, why print feats no one will ever take?

Picking up Divine Power at level nine is the icing on the cake for Stream of Life: the regeneration cancels out the ongoing damage!

This is a very feat-intensive build, so if you can slip it in, then go for it. I wound up taking scale armor expertise for the extra speed. True, your fort will be higher than your reflex or will, but monsters will still be pretty easy for monsters to hit and I have a hard time calling that...

A magic weapon gives you a bonus to damage rolls. Likewise for weapon focus. When you execute the hit line, you are making a damage roll. When you execute the effect line, you are also making a damage roll. There's no limit per power; you just apply it once per damage roll.

Be sure to add in the "spear melee basics are vs reflex" feat for auto-hitting fun. I've played this combo in LFR and it's not quite all its cracked up to be. If you could coordinate with your allies to ensure that enemies must go through you, then the non-reach enemies are screwed by your...

Hard to find what doesn't exist. They're smoking something.

It gives you bonus damage with that holy symbol. So if you were a... let's say cleric|battlemind or an avenger|swordmage, for instance, you could mark an enemy with your persistent mark and then pew-pew with your implement at-wills, but paladins on their own don't have many powers they can...

Hmm. By the wording of the hybrid pact, you gain the benefit of the pact except for "the pact boon and the at-will power." So it seems that you actually can bind the primary vestiges and can switch to daily power vestiges. However, the Pact Boon sub-feature references your active vestige, so...

The Paladin is in the second Essentials player book which comes out next month. Look for previews to start after this book comes out.
