"I can't make head nor tail of this scribble. Probably written by the dragon... Georg, you wouldn't happen to know any tricks for comprhending languages would you?" Grim tosses the journal aside in disgust and inspects the faintly glowing sword. "Interesting.. anyone mind if I use this awhile?"

Yeah, I realized that after I used them. I just wanted to get above bloodied incase something else burst out of the sewers. :P Here's a couple rolls for the extra: bonus heals (2d6=6) Grim's at 22/30 hp now. Grim pops the top off of the barrel and looks inside.

Thing is, Recovery Strike keys off of a melee attack, which means that it is less "good" than Astral Seal for two reasons: 1) A Str cleric will not pump both Cha and Wis, so the base healing is less. 2) A Str cleric will not focus on healing to the point of MC for heal feats and other tricks...

Reinvigorated, Grim looks at Carolina "I may hit hard, but it seems your mind is more nimble than mine. I had almost forgotten the tooth." Grim moves over to the dragon and checks its teeth. Grim spends two surges to go up to 16/30 hp. Sleep. I hurt. :P Grim: Male Bugbear Ranger 1 Passive...

Grim glares at the Dragonborn "Really? With the acid again?" I'll not be sorry to see your twice cursed corpse breath its last!" and swings, hard, and keeps swinging. Minor: Quarry DB1 Standard: Twin Strike (1d20+7=22, 1d12=6, 1d20+7=22, 1d12=7, 1d6=2) Move: sub Minor: Off Hand Strike...

The Pacifist Healer feat is balanced. it only affects Healing Word, only adds +1d6 per tier, and has a hefty drawback. Things that I think are problematic: Feats Potent Restorables: Artificer feat, adds flat bonus to all healing done with healing powers. It should only add to Artificer healing...

Grim's eyes flutter open again, and he stumbles to his feet before almost collapsing again as acid burns his flesh. He leans heavily on the hilt of his sword, saying "Thanks for the hand. I just need a moment to catch my breath!" Grim is at 7/30 after the LoH, but drops to 2/30 at the start of...

My mistake. I was thinking Holy Healer's Weapon, but even that is Healing Word, not all healing. Add +2d6 + Cha for Compassionate Healer PC, +Cha for Beatific Healer, +5 for Beacon of Hope, and with Symbol of the Warpriest, you also toss out additional small heals each time you hit with Astral...

No. The feat Pacifist Healer applies only to surge expenditure. If you paragon into Compassionate Healer, you can take 5 dmg to add +2d6 to the heal and gain +2 to all defenses until WoNT, though. However, Medic's Weapon, Healer's Brooch and the feats Potent Restoratives and Healer's Implement...

You're right. I mistakenly used the numbers that I worked out for the 1-shot cleric that I mentioned. At level 1, it's a 65% chance for the cleric to hit the average defense of 14. It's then a 65% chance per attack to heal someone. Well, yes, but let's assume the cleric possesses a modicum of...

Since no one else has pointed it out yet, allow me: At level 1 in EnWorld, this heals 10 points a turn (more than a healing surge) reliably (75% or more of all turns) , without spending a healing surge. This circumvents a primary pacing method for DMs- that of expending healing surges. It gets...

Grim should be in M8. Also, ouch. HP: -8/30 Dying

You know, I'm going to change my mind on this one. I would take the feat as written if I were minmaxxing (and go Stormwarden, foregoing fighter powers. Actually, if I were minmaxxing, I'd use the background that allows two MC feats, but that's neither here nor there). Having crunched the...

It's +2 dmg to everything hit in 1 encounter. It allows target switching, which HotF does not. Not to substitute anecdote for evidence, but I cannot think of a game where I have played a striker, either in PbP or live, in which I have not switched targets at least once. As I mentioned earlier...

I noted below the roll that I had forgotten to add it to the roll itself. The bonus is actually +4- it's 2 + 1/2 lvl + 2 from the Improved Resources feat.

@Joenotcharles: I'm not really trying to argue the merits of paragon classes. You asked for an example of a better minmax MC feat for Rangers, so I supplied it. I don't want it. Speaking as someone who plays a Ranger, I wouldn't take it even if it's admitted as it stands. I'm siding with...

Save vs. Ongoing damage (1d20+2=21) Saved! Grim steadies himself and turns towards the dragonborn Raiyek has engaged. "Stick to the plan.. clear your head." Move: I7 (2) > K9 (2) > L9, Athletics (DC14) (1d20+3=17) > M8 Minor: Hunter's Quarry dragonborn in L7 Standard: Jaws of the Wolf (2...

Like Ranger MC Fighter / Pitfighter or / Stormwarden. Rolling twice on Twin Strike doesn't come close to matching up to snagging Rain of Blows (yes, even the nerfed one), Trip Up, Quicksilver Stance, and all the goodies from the paragon classes. That point you make is valid, and WotC will...

I'm not convinced that HoF is overpowered. On the face of it, rolling twice for every attack on one creature per encounter is strong, but there are other options just as powerful (mainly because of the paragon classes they open up- avenger paragon options are... bad). Rangers in particular have...

Grim calls out "Raiyek, stay put! I'm gonna need a little help here!" I'll be at 10/30 hp at the start of my turn, and I would love an extra heal to free me up to nail this dragon hard.
