As for race, I'd suggest you ask your DM if you can reskin just about anything. Eladrin seems nice, but Genasi are awesome if you go with Assault Swordmage.

I'm surprised no one's mentioned Dragonborn Senses yet. It's a neat concept, but the bonuses aren't strong enough for me to be interested, especially with so few ways to make dim light rather than bright, and so many ways for enemies to make bright light themselves.

Another thought that just occurred to me: gargantuan semblits. Each airship is strapped beneath a whale-or-bigger-sized beast. There's a feeding tube and a waste collection process aboard each ship. Also, if you don't even want the potential for fart jokes, you could just as easily say they...

Well, I think it's a clever and funny little idea. Minions actually seem to work well for what you have in mind (detonating adjacent semblits), although I'd generally advise you to stat these up based on what you intend to do with them in relation to the PCs themselves. Will they face them in...

*Ahem*... quick correction: "Rogue" should read "High-Strength Rogue" until they get some semblance of Weapon Finesse.

I think I would be a bigger fan of Warlock pacts in general if there were some better guidelines for playing them. As it stands, I am unfamiliar enough with D&D cosmology to not fully understand what a fey pact entails. At the same time, I am really hoping for 2 new pacts in Arcane Power: 1)...

... Or if they update Dire Radiance to include Cha like Eldritch Blast, which I think would be an easier and quicker fix.

I guess there's no accounting for taste. :) I love Dragonborn, and since their release, have to struggle to imagine playing anything different when envisioning my next character from scratch.

That sounds mighty painful! Did you at least put him to sleep first? :eek:

A quick clarification: dragons are not actually involved in the Legion, so I'm honestly not concerned with what they think. I'm looking for a heirarchy, and a mercenary group may rank some dragons as more important/dangerous than others, whether or not the dragons themselves agree. I may end...

1. I'm honestly trying to be a bit strikerish, so I'm working on making my MBAs really hurt. This should not only help take down enemies faster, but also make my Aegis more effective. I've considered Bastard Sword as well, but I really want some nice crit action going on since I'm shooting for...

I play a Dragonborn Inspiring Warlord. Part of my background is that I'm not only royalty, but also a member of a notorious mercenary group. So I try to play the royal pride angle when "inspiring" myself ("Balasar of Honorblood will not be crushed by a measly KOBOLD!!!") and the soldier angle...

I won't get a chance to play for a few weeks, but I'm going to try an Assault Swordmage as my next character (Genasi, Firesoul). Unfortuantely, I'm seeing some MAD issues trying to qualify for feats (not for effective powers, though). I decided to get hide armor for now and go longsword for the...

Ulitmately, I don't think allowing holy symbols to have their own slot really unbalances anything economy-wise. Usually, people want to focus on having as few "weapons" as possible (and let's face it, if anything, holy symbols are mechanically very similar to weapons, just like wands, rods...

Ooh, excellent idea! I think I'm going to name them after 5 chromatics, then 5 metallics (unless there are actually more metallics than are mentioned in the MM). Each color is followed by one's branch. So my character, as a Talon, begins as White Talon Balasar. Since he just received a...

I'm trying to invent an organization of mercenaries for one of my games. It was founded by Dragonborn, and they consist most of its members. It is called the "Honorblood Legion." I've already divided the organization into branches, which are names after different parts of a dragon's anatomy...

I think it makes sense to do the Versatile switch-off. The downside really happens if you trigger something by an attack; for example, you attack and that triggers an immediate interrupt. You wouldn't have that extra hand free for the +2 AC. Other than corner cases like that, though, I believe...

As for hitting allies, think of the Int modifier as the power behind the area effect spell. Once that spell is unleashed, as say, a fireball, it completely engulfs everyting within it. The Wizard is not targetting each creature individually (even though they roll for each creature individually)...

You would actually be right, because that's not what they were saying. Clerics have some powers that have a Weapon keyword and some with an Implement keyword. This keeps them from having to switch stuff out if they use a two-handed weapon or a versatile weapon in both hands. They have no need to...

First of all, welcome not only to EN World, but to the wonderful world of RPGs! I hope they bring you and your friends many years of enjoyment. To answer your questions: 1) Yes, Sneak Attack can be added to any of the Rogue's attacks, as long as s/he has combat advantage. 2) That depends...
