    D&D 4E World of Warcraft Warrior

    I have 2 favorite Characters In World of Warcraft but this one I find the most playable. One is a Warrior the following are from the defender/tank build, I wonder how one might build this in 4e LOL. I love that D&D inspires video games and is in turn inspired by them. A bodyguard stance which...

    D&D 5E (2014) Are Wizards really all that?

    I am definitely a story driven kind of dm and making refresh a somewhat arbitrary thing works for me even when peoples refresh are approximately the same in the 4e environment. In 4e you have 2 encounters being one form of refresh called a milestone and 13A made their climactic/dailies refresh...

    LOL, narrow it down so you do not have to actually discuss the problem.

    D&D 5E (2014) Are Wizards really all that?

    The ability to get from another class without losing much that is versatility a property of the class contributes to that (being a caster). A martial type cannot sensibly take 3 levels of fighter and 4 levels of paladin and 3 levels of monk without nerfing himself out of extra attacks. I think...

    D&D 5E (2014) Are Wizards really all that?

    The details of the multi-classing system is in some part responsible for that versatility no other character required just a DM saying yes to multiclassing.

    D&D 5E (2014) Are Wizards really all that?

    I think some of the wizards versatility/power is in how well it combines with other casters I wish fighters and monks combined as nicely.

    And an optimized multi-class caster can do other roles better. Because almost everything in 5e is stealable. Especially if its kind of role defining as 5e wants role flexibility. Easy multiclassing and having what I would expect as core features in powerful feats have that as a natural...

    And the game becomes Caster vs DM, sigh.

    D&D 5E (2014) Battlemaster and Superiority Dice are causing martials to suffer.

    This is is what I have heard ... Gamblers like the crit fishing and they will continue to do so even if the odds average out not in their favor. I think the crit fishing should have been a Berserker/Barbarian thing and in Level up it is, but you can choose maneuvers/stances that do it for the...

    D&D 5E (2014) Battlemaster and Superiority Dice are causing martials to suffer.

    My idea has been updated a little... but I suspect I didnt express it well anyway but basically you start with the battlemaster including having the superiority dice. This expresses it simply I think. Scan for opportunity: spend a bonus action to regain a superiority die or you spend one of...

    There seems a trend towards fewer 4e Wizards eventually had 790 total : 430 powers and 360 rituals.

    D&D 5E (2014) Being strong and skilled is a magic of its own or, how I learned to stop worrying and love anime fightin' magic

    I would like to point out how narrow and specific these "feats of strength" are compared to giving someone a girdle of giant strength they are both good for the flavor and bad because they are not iMHO backed up broadly enough Level Up to the rescue? in Level Up Soldiering Knacks for a fighter...

    D&D 5E (2014) Are Wizards really all that?

    The best and amazing defender i have seen built is a multiclass caster (with combining features) it may start serviceable early but gets good and great at 6 and 9 if I remember and it might have dipped into martial but not much... and if you designed it clever it still has the heavy wizard...

    I was going to mention that... and that acorn that burst into flames at the wolves inspiration for a fireball?

    I express it as a flying flame throwing, armored like a tank, super genius monstrous beast the size of a house.. or some such and as it stands nope nope nope.
