There seems to be no range, just line of effect to an ally. That ally makes a basic melee attack, and adds the warlord's Int mod to the damage. If he has str 16 and a 1d8 weapon, then your example is correct. Ideally the warlord chooses the fighter with the 2h greatsword or the rogue with...

I do like the layout. As to the relative strength... one is a straight brute, while the other is a brute(leader) multiclass. He traded the gross heal thing for the ability to have all his underlings hit harder and to be able to make dying allies take a last-gasp swing at their enemies. He's...

Somewhere was noted they suggest the weighted point buy we've seen in the pre-gens, and also several score arrays so you can just assign them without doing any math (they work out the same as the 32-point buy) I'd guess there's still some random methods like 4d6-drop-lowest listed too.

I would guess that evil paladins use Radiant energy too. As to the 'what about evil clerics???' thing... looking through the cleric spell list from 3.5 (in SRD), there are barely a handful of spells with the 'necromancy' tag. The various Create Undead spells, Inflict X Wounds/Harm, Slay...

I think for defenders your 'build' will matter some. If you pick powers that are all about taking damage from others, and attracting attention, you'll have a harder time than if you take powers that are more about damage and enemy control(by which I mean like Tide of Iron, I hit you then move...

Except it's an at-will, which we don't know if there are better ones at higher levels. Pre-release consensus seems to think there aren't, they just get double effect at epic tier. And while you could choose a different at-will from the list, they're all about the same level of power for the...

I think the 'problem' is twofold; the first issue is perception, as lots of people seem to think that all clerics do is follow the party and cast cure X wounds spells. The second issue is player desires. If your players want to play the 'wade in and bloody my blade' type, or the 'powerful...

The problem is that to have a character creator, you need (at least) names of class abilities, skills, feats, and powers. None of which are open content; the ability to use those names is licensed under the GSL, which (it is believed) specifically prohibits software which does character...

1) Midieval cultures tend to be agricultural; these inspire large families, and multi-generation houses. A farmhouse could have a set of grandparents, a set of parents, and ~4-5 kids, easy. Add in a farm hand, and that's 10... put a bunch of those around the city. They suggested 11 buildings...

I lol'd. Seriously. While it does seem a bit silly to be releasing the 'preview' adventure so close to the actual books for those that are going to be buying them on release day... For those who aren't, it doesn't matter. Really, I choose to think of it as a combination item; it's both the...

I plan on buying it, then running it after the big3 books are out. That way my players can run their own characters instead of pre-gens. Besides, my AE/Eberron campaign isn't finished yet.

The source of 'radiant' energy is not the sun, but the Astral Sea. All divine power comes from there. Perhaps Dim can grant you the ability to channel his power into an encounter effect that changes all your radiant powers into necrotic ones; the lich lord we saw had that ability.

I was hoping for at least a partial table... say, 3-5 weapons with whatever table data appears in the PHB. It did answer a few questions, though. Just because they said you can't TWF in one round without a power... we also know that some feats grant powers. Why can't the Two Weapon Fighting...

I used to work with a US company that wastrying to branch into Canada... Shipping product there was very annoying due to taxes. Canadians would order, pay the price+/-exchange rate to CDN, which was expected(about $120CDN for our product) ... then it would show up at their doorstep with a ~$40...

I'm sure the DMG prolly still has rules for 'Commoner' or 'Expert' classes. Or just come up with something based on those. Grab a few skills, minimal hp, no real powers. Okay, we'll give you these: What's Going On? - Commoner attack 1 At-Will Close Burst 5 Effect: You annoy targets in the...

One thing to note: Most of the Paragon Paths posted so far have been basically 'specialization of base class' things. I can imagine having paragon paths that require more than one 'class'; being built for a more Gish-like 50/50 build. Or at least are sub-optimal for the required clas if taken...

On the other hand, there are some concepts where 1/enc Eyebite might be pretty nice. My guess would be that the RAW way means you have to pick a pact; if you took the curse power, which pact you chose would be ambiguous, and pacts seem to be a big part of the Warlock's fluff. As DM, I might...

I agree with hong and KidSnide... I'm trying to figure out where this monster fits. Minions are intended to be dangerous in numbers, but the PCs should cut through them quickly, not ignore them. Elites are intended to bring a significant challenge to the party on the whole, and Solo's even...

Hopefully we'll get a better handle on all of that on Friday, when they do the Epic tier excerpt. I didn't get anything about becoming or challenging the gods from Epic tier. From what devs have said, the gods are like mid-high 30's solo monsters. In generally, too difficult for even a normal...

My thought on this is more that at the Paragon tier, the PCs become 'larger than life'. They'll have become know for particular deeds, etc, which will inflate as the stories are retold and retold. In time (as they reach 11th level) the inflated versions become true. This works out well with...
