Can I get an exact reference for this as my DM is allowing OAs against my drow while in my cloud of darkness. Under Invisible, it says you don't provoke from those who can't see you. It doesn't actually say that under total concealment. My DM interprets this as a special feature of...

Coincidently, one of my players just made a Warforged Warden MC'd as a druid, reskinned as a treant. So, technically a treant who turns into a ...something, but we're treating it as a human who turns into a tree. Okay, there is some handwaving going on, but still, WF as treant works fairly well.

Bonuses of the same 'type' never stack. Expertise is an untyped bonus, not a feat bonus.

Here's a question for proponents of this HR or something similar. I plan on giving everyone an 'enhancement' bonus of 1/3 their level - this covers item bonuses as well as the apparent discrepancy at higher levels between monsters and PCs so we'll see how that goes. My question is how do you...

Drow are in the Realms PG.

Because, even for a DM, they amount to 5 damage every 7 attacks or about 2/3 hp per round. I don't consider that a good deal. Surprise Knockdown is only useful for a followup attack if you didn't have SA on that particular round. I don't consider weapon focus that useful until Paragon for the...

I can't say I disagree too strongly with the OP - str 8, con 10 paladins can wear plate but str 28 con 10 BS rogue can't even wear Hide properly. Spellcasters have prereqs all over the map for damage feats but anyone can have weapon focus. And then there's the ridiculous disparity in armour...

For my rogue I took MC ranger first because I wanted the skill. If that isn't the main issue, I would take both nimble blade and backstabber first, then MC. I don't really consider a feat for 1 damage (weapon focus) per round (at best) worth a feat this early in the game. If defense is more...

Something else to be done with knockout if you're willing to give up some of the thunder and don't want to burn the action point Delay until after your victim, take him down, and follow with Sneak in the Attack. Your fighter/ranger/warlord/whatever buddy hits with his biggest attack plus your...

Oh, I'm aware of it. I'm also having a heck of a time convincing the current ranger of it, as well as the warlock in another game. Here I disagree. Even if you're 'taking one for the team', for a dedicated archer (little or no str), defensive mobility is more useful than an ability you'll...

Not really a factor since the melee ranger will never notice - heck, the 2 archers i've played with would never notice the lack since I could count on one hand the number of times it's come up in about 2 dozen sessions. Mostlly due to the fact that the safety of range is more important than +1...

Nope, anybody; the harrier was just the best at it due to his crazy mobility class abilities. That maneuver was the Thief's best friend, however. If he was willing to risk the AoOs.

Maybe I'm alone here but, while I don't like the 'archer' as written, I have no problem with it' offensive punch. It's ability to fight unhindered from 20 to 30 squares away, depending on weapon/enchantments/feats, gives me pause. While realizing that this is highly dependent on circumstances...

Here's some more info: feats - backstabber, quickdraw, ranger multiclass, alchemy, skill training current gear - wildleaf leather, lifedrinker dagger, mage's parrying dagger, cloak of distortion, acrobat boots, Iron Armbands of power, hat of disguise. The lifedrinker i got early when i was...

I've got 20,000 gold to spend and I'm looking for advice as to where to spend it. Level 8 drow artful dodger rogue. There is currently no limit to the level of item we can buy, so level 13 max, just based on cost. So, what should I look at, to increase defense and damage?

I've actually been trying to convince both ranger players in different groups of that, to no avail. If you end every fight with full HPs, you could be bleeding morer for the team. OTOH, they tend to end most fights either unscathed or down for the count. BTW, the ranger in my other group has...

I'm not crazy about Rangers fighting at 20 squares and basically disassociating themselves from their team as well as being able to fight with little risk compared to all other classes. At the same time, I hear many complaints as to the general suckitude of Prime Shot, to the point where it...

Preparing my first actual 4e campaign, having run H1 and currently playing H2 and another original game, I struck on RHoD after perusing Scales of War and then discovered this thread. Great work, everybody. While I find a lot of the general work helpful, especially breaking down a lot of the...

Consider that rogues don't need to choose to use SA until after damage is rolled. So you roll damage for BB, roll all the attack rolls, then decide which target, if any gets the SA damage. This also means that you can wait to see which ones die initially so you aren't wasting SA on a minion...
