The irony is that in my IRL game I'm starting soon, that is actually a really amazing rune to have in that campaign (as being able to choose your elemental damage like that is an incredible advantage). I think you underestimate as well the utility of being able to take advantage of energy type...

Not really, because what else are a bunch of monsters going to do with no compulsion to attack anyone? Personally I would start eating the tasty looking guy without much armor with the big wooden stick first. In all seriousness though, the fact that enemies can trivially walk away from a Knight...

Ironically no, because they are as ridiculously accurate and you also can toss on an extra effect that dazes. Many of the Knights problems are because a creature leaves and attacks your ally without taking any penalty. Most importantly, it has a free choice as to what to do when it's away - so...

I do come off as very aggressive on this issue with regards to my opinion, but I think I should clarify that where the Knight (in my experience) has struggled has always been the big "capstone" encounters. The elemental chaos fight above with the 3 catastrophic dragons, the tembo (who just made...

Well as they don't assume there are any divine characters in Dark Sun I am pretty sure they weren't concerned about that.

It's really not an exaggeration. The amount of times I've seen marks been the difference between a character being knocked unconscious and getting a full turn of actions is innumerable to count. I've run over 8 games of DnD and I've never once seen marks never contribute to a combat. Also you...

I seem to have missed so much, people complaining about the DMG2 being useless "DM advice" and now people complaining about monsters being named like this. I honestly haven't seen this been an issue before, except for certain player character options. Shardmind and Battlemind, as two examples...

This is not valuable when it never happens. In what DnD I have played with a Knight, I have yet to have the Knights mark be enforced more than a handful of times. It is really easy to negate or ignore a Knight entirely. That's the point here and what you refuse to acknowledge. At the same...

In fairness, I actually interpreted it the same way (as an insult). My initial confusion was trying to figure out why Dice4hire didn't like me!

You can only use it on MBAs actually (the trigger specifies melee basic attacks) making its utility for fighters pretty much useless. Unless you're doing some kind of charge build actually, then it might be useful but I suspect there are better powers anyway. To be honest I can't see a...

Dwarves are in a different league to most races in the game, having one of the strongest core benefits of any race with their resistance to forced movement (almost essential for a Knight). The problem with the shade is that while it has some features that are desirable, such as their...

The Knight however is immensely vulnerable to a simple 1 square push, utterly negating any worth he has as a defender. The Knights immense deficiencies as a defender negate a lot of the power of their 1/turn mark punishment. Not to mention enemies never provoke it: They just walk away.

Okay I understand now. I shall move along.

I never got to see the Black Hound preview. It got shanked and removed from the internet before I could see it. Sounded interesting though.

I was thinking about this before, but it infinitely amuses me that nearly 3 years on from the release of 4E we're still nerfing things from the original players handbook. That says something.

I have noticed in the book a few necrotic powers are actually two damage types, notably fire+necrotic and cold+necrotic (blackguard). It's mostly just unfortunate for anyone wanting to pinch necrotic stuff outside of those in the book. Now I think of it, was there stuff that you made or wanted...

So I got a PM from Dice4hire today saying he got me some "gift" or another. It informed me it was a "Vagrant Hanger-On". I am of course completely lost by this point, especially because I was unable to PM him to ask what on earth it was about. Then I discovered I have some little dood under my...

Racial feats aren't actually in HoS except for 3 from the Revenant (which feel a little bit like clarifications). I am suspecting this could be a new trend moving forward.
