Well, first I'll point out that I was throwing that in to clarify a technical point. Doctor Proctor quoted the feat's entry, but it seemed as if one or more poster was still treating drawing with Quick Draw as a Free Action when it is not. After that point, I'll now move to my interpretation...

Um, isn't the spiked chain two-handed, and thus unuseable by halflings?

So, whip in one hand, spiked shield/gauntlet in the other, leather armor, and a 10-foot chain... wherever... intereting that this getup is easily purchaseable...

A quick reminder: Quick Draw does not make drawing the weapon a free action. Nor does it make drawing the weapon part of an "attack," whatever is meant by that term (I think someone once counted 4-6 different possible definitions of that one word). It makes it part of the attack action, which is...

I'm planning a Genasi Firesoul Swordmage and looking ahead a little bit. I noticed the Anarch of Shyr paragon path and its Stance of Chaos utility power. Is it just me, or does this seem a little too much like Power Attack? -2 to hit for 1d12 damage just doesn't seem like the best tradeoff, and...

Geez, sorry for trying to answer part of your question. It's a superior one-handed +2 proficiency d4 flail with the off-hand and reach properties.

Huh... that's interesting. I would think Warlords would use more surges in a day. Clerics, after all, have stuff like Cure X Wounds that heals AS IF spending a surge. I can imagine burning through my allies' surges pretty fast with just Rousing Words. Nice to know, though.

Further, Istar, I really have to stress that you need to understand how powers work in 4E. The bonus you get to attack and damage rolls is not dependent on the weapon itself, but on the power being used. This is the same answer as your question about the longbow. Also, you should be aware that...

Thanks for the positive feedback, both from Jack7 for posting and others who have messaged me. I will have an extended break from the campaign as we're rotating DMs for a while. It will be several weeks before my turn is up again. So in the meantime, I was hoping to get a couple of suggestions...

I'm pretty sure it cracks them up too. :lol:

Session 3: 2/7/2009 (Shaddock was not available, but his character was proxied.) THE INVITATION Senator Silvanus Horatius hears of the group of men who have been involved in more than one encounter with agents of Megiddo. He is interested in meeting them, and sends an invitation in the form...

Session 2, 1/24/2009 (Classes started at my grad school, so I didn't have as much time to prepare for this session; also, Imrahil was out for this one, so he was only proxied for the fight) THE INVESTIGATION The group knew something was wrong. Reports of similar occurances happening all over...

Session 1, 1/17 The players meet (Shaddock was absent from this game, so I didn't write him in until later) Each of the three players began their first day on the job. Erevan completed his ordination ceremony in the great mead hall of St. Avandra's Church. Hea was given his first...

I'm beginning my very first D&D campaign, and I'd love to post what's happening and hear some feedback/suggestions as I plan and play. There's plenty of gaps to be filled and adventure to be planned, but I'm quite excited about the whole ordeal. I'll make a general post here, where I'll describe...

And knowing AC or not isn't the question. You know if you hit or miss, and use EA based on that. But let's say you miss on both attacks and want to reroll one. There's a ton of situations where order would matter then. Or, you want to kill that pesky flanking minion, but don't want to waste...

I try and interpret Twin Strike and related 2-attack powers as happening somewhat "simultaneously". That is, you use a single power that has two simultaneous attacks. As such, I would go with option 1: roll both attacks at the same time, and then decide whether or not to use Elven Accuracy for...

Which is ironic, considering it's supposed to be a Dragonborn designed spear. :confused:

If we're to keep it military, I'd recommend comparing it to similar one-handed axes and heavy blades. (I'm purposefully leaving out the scimitar because its high crit is less similar than the versatile property all of the below share in common, and the broadsword because it's really a...

I guess one way to address the issue of the tratnyr being underpowered is to ask: Considering the very few current cases where using a tratnyr is ideal, would giving them a +3 proficiency make those cases overpowered?

Yeah, I'm thinking a +3 would tie it neatly together. I think this makes it both worth the feat and competitive with other superior weapons, considering that spears are already middle of the line on associated feats and such. If it were +3/d8, I would be much more inclined to take it for...
