Also, don't forget that the player also have the option of making an heal check to grant a save as a standard action. This make me think that a feat to improve this might be useful. Along the line of +2 feat bonus to heal check and if the heal check is successful, grant a +1 feat bonus to the...

That sword is the very definition of a full blade, not a bastard sword. As an aside, would there be any way to have a kobold wielding a full blade? Perhaps a magic weapon I don't know would enable this?

If you let them portal out of the space, what is preventing anything from portaling inside at any time?

A shaman don't even need to be refflufed to work as a Necromancer. He speak with dead souls that linger around, he's always followed by a ghostly companion (his twin brother who died at birth just as described in Primal Power for exemple) and he's often disconnected from the living world, being...

I once built a dual-wielding fighter (tempest) who used an hand axe main hand and a whip in his off-hand. This way he could mark thing from ranged (throwing), adjacent or withing reach 2. As most of his power had attack different target with each weapon, I could mark one adjacent enemy and...

Swordmage/barbarian

The first goddess of Magic was Mystril, killed by a 12th level spell named Karsus' Avatar. Karsus was very briefly the god of magic, but the very act of killing the previous goddess of magic rendered his spell unstable and gave him the power but his body could not support it. Spells went...

As the Mind Spike could trigger off any mark, it is a cool combo with any other hybrid defender, as they can add other mark. - Aegis him and you get to choose between using the aegis interrupt if hes far and the mind spike if he's adjacent. - Paladin challenge him and you get to choose...

The one monster that I consider is an exception to that rule would be the Gelatinous Cube. But then that cube is all about exception to me. BTW, a prone gelatinous cube is a d8.

I tried a couple of hybrid build myself: 1. Druid/avenger: at first the idea was to be a sticky isolating avenger that would then wild shape to slap the other silly, but it got transformed along the way to take only implement power that could be used up close. Surprisingly fun. 2...

For a similar issue, see the human daggermaster, a level 7 elite who can make multiple attack per round, at-will and with +2d6 damage with CA, and a crit range of 19-20...and high crit. That thing is brutal, definitely on my watch list as all this combined make for a brutal opponent.

Hehe, when a player will drop prone as a minor action and close his eyes to make an attack at -7, I will call shenanigan. Until then, I can live with that. An aside, I saw a power that had an effect on miss, but had an effect line that said you can forgo the miss effect to give the power the...

1. Don't forget that you can use that Flurry any time in the round after a hit, on anybody. You could technically hit someone, move away, action point to charge another target and flurry a minion as you pass him by.

I always have a quick interrogation regarding stealth attacking: Can you charge and retain the hidden status until after the attack, thus avoiding OA and getting CA? Since charge is a single action consisting of moving then attacking I would say yes, but I'm not sure.

I actually took a page from older d&d and transformed a monster into it's own reward. The party had just killed a Gauth (a type of beholder) and after an Arcana check, the wizard realized that those eyes could be used in various arcana rituals. Et voila, instant monetary reward without...

I think I would have treated that magical nail has grabbing the dragon, with a DC 25 to escape the grab. The placing of the nail would probably have counted has a grapple attempt, targetting the reflex of the dragon.

I could see some Leader being dex-based as secondary. A predator shaman, the bow-bard, skirmisher warlord, etc. I guess they could be reskined easily to be used flavorfully in homebrew campaign, but I guess that officially we will have to make do with the guildmaster rogue PP. How I would...

As the only character with thievery in a party, I can attest that it is useful to open lock and maybe some skill challenge, but totally useless in combat. A locked door of my level is usually a 2+ on the d20 to unlock it, same thing for success out of combat. (halfling, trained, dex-stat...

Personally I don't really see the swashbuckler as a leader. They always seems to be loner, hugging all the glory for themselves when in a party. As dex based leader go, I would probably see an archer bard, or simply a rogue with the Guildmaster PP. He shares his action point and his sneak...

Since printed copy of the PHB3 as been seen at convention, I'm pretty sure the paper version will be the same as the one in the character builder, unless they lacked time to update the Ardent on the CB in the last update. As a DM, I became aware of vertical teleportation while reading the MM2...
