Excellent work, Storminator. A thought occured to me while discussing Avengers elsewhere: for non-brutal weapons, how do Gauntlets of Destruction change the curves? In particular, I'm curious about falchions (ultimately curious about Vorpal falchions, actually).

The glaive's reach is a bit wasted on Avengers. Why not Vorpal Falchion with Gauntlets of Destruction? Now there's some real munchkin min/maxing. :)

Or Vorpal weapons would be fantastic (aren't they also d12 crit dice?). I'm really hoping to see some crit-range-increasing feats come through in Divine Power, and/or some weapons that really synch with Avengers. Although I suppose they probably won't print any more items for divine classes in...

I should offer this up for clarification: Some people are debating if CdG is valid if a target is both Restrained AND Immobilized. The Immobilized condition is contained within the Restrained condition, so the point is moot.

Quick nitpick: The word is "Censure," which means a strong expression of disapproval; close in definition to "rebuke." Not "Censor," which is someone who prohibits offensive material from being released to the public.

Hmmm... Close Quarters is something I had not noticed. It's not quite the same, but there are a few interesting points of overlap. I might have to take another look at this.

Honestly, I don't think it would cause too much of a ruckus to do this. Just allow +2 to any two stats for anyone; humans are still balanced as they are with the extra skill, at-will, and feat. This doesn't change the fact that race-specific bonuses remain race-specific, e.g., Action Surge still...

... except that there are other effects that interact with the "marked" condition, such as a Fighter attacking a DC'd monster overwriting the Paladin's mark. IMHO, I think the effects of the Paladin and Swordmage marks should have been class features, and the actual marking mechanic its own...

Which is exactly what was meant by the post: It could also provide some good interaction with Pursuit Avengers, giving the Oathed enemy a lose-lose situation: follow the mark and trigger the Censure, or ignore the mark and be less accurate.

My campaign centers around cults and such as well. My campaign is also monotheistic, so there's basically saints and heretics instead of gods. Whenever I "drop" a heretic's holy symbol into a treasure parcel, I allow the user's church to consecrate and reforge the materials free of charge. It...

This is definitely one of those examples where mechanics can help match flavor. I'll be playing an Avenger soon, and I ultimately decided to take Melee Training (Wisdom) to reflect that he has, indeed, been trained in melee. :) I'll worry about weapon proficiency and such later. In the meantime...

So, with Mighty Enmity, I can use Oath of Enmity on two targets the first time it is used in an encounter. Does this mean: Once I kill the first target, I regain OoE and can use it on another target, keeping me at 2 Oaths throughout the encounter, as long as I "juggle" them? Assuming the...

Ok... I updated it again and changed the Climb attack to Athletics, and added in a line specifically allowing forced riding at DM's discretion. As for wearing them out, I don't think anything needs to be changed. You can make unarmed MBAs if you want, and the rules already allow for subdual...

Good point. I'll add half-level to the DCs. I know this doesn't account for other means of boosting Endurance, and I'm fine with that. If someone boosts their Con and that makes them more durable, good for them. As for the +1 to all boosts, I can see adventurers becoming a little hardier over time.

So... was there a specific suggestion in that post? Remember, riding isn't a skill anymore, but climbing is a subset of Athletics. Should I keep the "attack" at Athletics and leave bonuses to DM discretion? Should I use a different subset of rules for forced riding as opposed to the "clinging"...

I honestly think the Masterwork confusion would be a lot more clear if the AC bonus was listed as a separate Masterwork bonus. But at any rate, I have no problems with the higher AC. Avengers will often find themselves in tough situations whichever their build. I plan on playing one soon...

Finally updated. Suffocation's [R] is now once per round. DMs may abbreviate suffocation in 10[R] snapshots (once per minute) Increased number of states in suffocation so people die less quickly. Thoughts on current states? They seem a little dull to me. Changed [R] language to be more...

Two points: 1) MBAs are also useful for charging, so suddenly all of the Rogue charging bonuses in Martial Power actually become useful (I was incredibly unimpressed with them before now). 2) OA's are a defender's schtick? Why? Good OAs deter enemies from moving, but even if they connect...

It'd be pretty "sure" to hit, though! :lol: Moving on... To those who advocate for the rolling block of material, similar to Magic, I have to object. I like 4e, and I don't want (nor care about) new material coming out invalidating my current books. I want to keep my PHB and the rules...

Lol, the funny thing is, the first showcase of this action that I've witnessed was this exact example. Not even in my campaign. I was playing the usually serious Balasar, a Dragonborn Warlord, when we were hired to take out a bull that had stepped on an enchanted shard in a field and mutated...
