What you're describing as quantum, I consider realistic? If you're an Ogre fighting an 8th level PC, you fight differently than if you're fighting a 16th level one. Just as a highly trained fighter fights another highly trained fighter much differently than a world class one or a beginner. Watch...

Err, that's not exactly what the person was talking about. Basically, if you're using an at-will, you should be able to defeat low level creatures really fast. That's what happens in real life when a martial arts sensei goes up against someone with minimal combat training. The martial artist...

Here's the general rule of thumb about at-will damage: If you're a striker in 4e, you ought to be doing your level*2 damage. Creatures gain 8 hp per level, so if you gain 2 every level, you kill an at-level standard in the same number of hits. So if you're a striker, you ought to be doing about...

Yeah, I can't get to the point where you're at without having a new email address to try it. I'd say something to the effect of 'digital river seems to be the problem.' because you tried it on several browsers. Did anyone else recently subscribe and have it work/not work?

You shouldn't have to make a new account I'd think then. Just curious, did you try it with the Sea Monkey browser? That digital river purchase site is really old code, maybe there's some silverlight in it somewhere.

I'd either ask them to relink your old account(because they changed accounts at some point after the forums died) or just make a new account. I think that's a lot easier, especially if as an example, you're just using Sea Monkey's browser for just DDI. Then you don't have to worry about...

Thanks!

Yeah, right after I hit send to tech support, it started working again. Weird.

You can request times, too. There are DMs from Europe, Australia, and the U.S., so it is basically possible to have a game at any time.

Anyone having issues with Character Builder?

Circling Predator is really good as is Path of the Two Blades. Gives you a good nova.

I don't think that's really worth as a daily, particularly as you're likely not a Str-based PC. http://www.enworld.org/forum/showthread.php?468783-4e-Poachable-Powers-List-A-list-of-good-powers-to-poach-from-other-classes Is probably worth a look if you're trying to find something interesting...

I'd try multiple browsers(and in particular, Sea Monkey). Maybe there's some Silverlight code in the pay process, who knows. You needed to migrate your account to a new ID around the time they nuked the forums. So your old account might not be registering. I'd email CustServ and/or look at just...

It is really strange that a 20th level PCs would ever be assumed to not improve at things that they saw for 19th levels, even if they themselves didn't do that. I think it is abundantly realistic that a 20th level incompetent is roughly as skilled as a 1st level expert in all things. Sure, the...

Honestly, that's really marketing at play. Both games can kind of work when you don't follow system guidelines. 4e actually works a bit better mechanically, just players know that's not supposed to happen, and get unhappy. Really is what happens when you only expect to have Stat+Enh as a bonus...

Every edition is horrible at modeling injuries. Get mauled within an inch of your life so you only have 1 hp? Well then, fight just as well as if you weren't hurt at all as long as you don't get hit. And you're dying and low-level and magically healing with a cure light wounds to full hp, but at...

You might want to check out page 274 in DMG. Monsters literally increase defenses and to-hit at the exact same rate that PCs are expected to get bonuses in defenses, to-hit and attack. Also, while you might not expect a +3 weapon, the system expects you get roughly a +3 weapon in a typical...

4e is extremely good at modeling realistic expertise. A 20th level Wizard can auto-succeed on Arcana checks that would be expected to be difficult for 1st level Wizard to succeed at doing. Or a 20th level Rogue disarming a trap that might end up with a poisoned 1st level Rogue. And you'll never...

5e math is literally 4e/2 math. You should expect a level 20 fighter to get a +3 magic weapon if you play in a 'typical campaign' ala page 133 of DMG, which makes the increase from levels 1-20 usually +9 additional(+2 stat, +4 proficiency, +3 weapon), where in 4e, you'd expect it likely to be...

Think it is up to the DM. I literally can't see the breakable case with Warpriest taking Templar options. In the best case scenario, you'll probably be a slightly inferior Templar.
