Thanks for the advice, everyone. After weighing many options, I think I'll go with the Greatspear after all, though I may not go with Hungry Spear as the enchantment. Honestly, I think Communal would benefit my party more, and I could switch to Overreaching at mid-epic. While I would love the...

Hmmm... Greatspear with the Hungry Spear enchantment looks very promising. Granted, I'd be giving up my shield bonus, but I think I could manage... Any particularly useful Warlord bracers to go with that? I'm working on powers and feats that focus on buffing allies and granting them Basic...

Good points I'm going to mull over for a while. But FYI, the Drow Long Knife (Eberron Player's Guide) is a +3 heavy thrown.

I'm currently playing a level 12 Dragonborn Inspiring Warlord, and I'm weighing my weapon options. I'm currently using a longsword for the +3 proficiency. I'm not too concerned with damage, as that's the job of strikers, so I won't spend a feat to upgrade to a bastard sword. I'm interested...

Thanks for the interesting side discussion, but you might want to fork the thread before it derails. Notice that I didn't say his character was an atheist, he's an antitheist. Big difference. Some of the more helpful advice I've seen points to Backgrounds or reskinning, so thanks for that. I...

Let me begin with my specific predicament: I have a player who's playing a jack-of-all-trades (STR/DEX/WIS) Elven Ranger. He's interested in multiclassing to a leader to gain some of the 3.5 concept of Rangers being able to heal. Thus, he should multiclass to some form of leader. But the...

Also, characters are functionally ambidextrous in 4e. The Rogue in question could just as easily keep the sling in his/her main hand and draw/throw the shuriken with his/her off hand.

I don't know the answer, but I can tell you that you're referring to the "Channel Divinity" series of feats.

I think there needs to be 1) a generic feat allowing weapons to be used as implements 2) a generic energy focus feat (similar to weapon focus and the suggested implement focus above).

This. Thanks, I'll start using this mnemonic device with our newer players.

Analog can work just fine, but I want other tools at my disposal. I actually use a small spiral-bound journal during game sessions to write notes to myself, and use that rather than a laptop for tracking plot, encounters, rewards, etc. However, the problem with those is that they don't edit...

A couple of updates: I've finally got a chance to look at DMing again (grad school + getting married is a fine way to make yourself too busy to DM :D) First, in the above problem, I've decided that Swordmages are essentially a form of bodyguard. Some are mercenaries, some are part of...

Another vote for no. Of course, something could trigger a "basic attack" or "ranged basic attack" which you could use at a melee range with this feat... but that still doesn't make it a "melee basic attack".

For reference, here's a link to my campaign: http://www.enworld.org/forum/plots-places/250017-my-campaign-avalon-magical-metropolis.html I'm a relatively new DM, and I'm trying to wrap my mind around quests as explained in the DMG. I just can't seem to understand how and when to give them...

Turns out I'm a Masterplan convert. Thanks for recommending it, Harlekin! I found that I can actually install and run it from my flash drive, which makes it just as mobile as I need it. I may look into making an online wiki at some point, but our other DM, who knows more about web design than I...

JosephhusbandofMarybutnotthefatherof Sweet Jesus! Masterplan looks awesome! I'll have to install it and check out its capabilities when I get home! :)

Hmm... I definitely like the idea of using online tools, since I frequently travel between computers, and I can't guarantee many programs will be installed on all of them.

Interesting. I've heard of Onenote, but never used it myself. What are some of its capabilities, and more specifically, its pros and cons for campaign planning/organizing?

I'd like to become more organized in planning my campaign. I currently use a small, spiral-bound journal, which has worked well enough so far, but I know won't work as adventures progress and there become more NPCs, organizations, events, etc. to track. I'd like to put everything in a digital...

I made a feat called "Weapon Channeling" that did just this. I won't be surprised if someone takes it pretty soon after I start my game back up again.
