    Heroes of Unlikely Places (Hopefully?)

    You know, I've been wondering this myself and we talk about "Forgotten" classes - but it seems to me that Eberron is the forgotten campaign setting. Dark Sun and even FR are seeing regular support (well FR is getting an entire new book) in Dungeon/Dragon (at times). I can't recall when something...

    Heroes of the Feywild Speculation

    A winter sentinel druid build would also be fantastic for Eberron (Children of Winter are a good antagonist faction). Also while they are primal, there are various seasonal elements to the feycourts in the fluff already. So I don't see why they wouldn't have druids of various sects like...

    Cleric (Templar) is Up

    To show how desperate Wizards got, it's worth having a read of E1-E3. Note how many non-new demons they made, but how many paragon level creatures they began slapping levels on and leveling up into epic. It's pretty clear from that module that even Wizards ran out of monsters. Also all of the...

    Cleric (Templar) is Up

    Oh I absolutely 100% completely agree with you on that point Zaran. It needed to be toned down, but what they did to it was excessively brutal. Personally I would have fixed the minor action feat moreso than completely nerfing the power. The minor action feat is what turned it from pretty...

    Cleric (Templar) is Up

    Or demons, or immortals. You know, pretty much every monster that is available at epic tier (especially post-MM3, your options for new maths and new power design epic creatures are chronically limited to say the least). I wouldn't find this HALF the issue I do if I had viable epic fey, or viable...

    Heroes of the Feywild Speculation

    We don't need anything to do with Wizards. Or fighters (or clerics) for that matter. It's time for a book to give needed support to the "forgotten" classes of 4E. There is nothing wrong with the numerous options for wizards and fighters and all the other over-supported classes in 4E that exists...

    Heroes of the Feywild Speculation

    I'd love to see the more feywild linked races like Gnomes and Wilden to get some racial support (could use it as well). It would bring back hope the Shade/Vryloka might get some racial support in future (not in this book of course). Especially the shade, who seriously needs something good to...

    Heroes of the Feywild Speculation

    No more god damn wizard builds. No more. That's all I ask. I just want the book to give support to something that needs it. Seekers, Runepriests, some new classes or whatever. Just no more Wizards, Clerics, Fighters, Rogues, Rangers or whatever for the love of god. Otherwise, I just want a...

    Cleric (Templar) is Up

    I'm not going to say this again, but as a rules resource the CB is not relevant. It is not a rules resource. It is that simple. Where the CB doesn't agree with an actual published rules resource or doesn't work correctly (which is also frequent) - the published rules resource always wins...

    Cleric (Templar) is Up

    It also needs a third feat to get turned into a minor action. This doesn't change that it's utterly ridiculous and going back to an earlier point I made: Demons, Immortals and Undead are the sole creatures in 4E with an actual epic tier presence (As in there are a viable number of standard...

    Cleric (Templar) is Up

    The Character Builder is not a rules resource and is irrelevant in these discussions. The only valid rules resources are the online compendium - albeit I will grant you it's hilariously wrong on a whole ton of things now - books (Rules Compendium) and official errata documents. Healing Word...

    Can a DM expose a vampire character to sunlight with combat actions?

    The irony being BOTH of you have entirely 100% valid interpretations. Some people think it's just pointless flavor that isn't meant to come up in game, others think it should be made mechanically relevant to combat and enemies should exploit it. Huzzah for writing rules in pudding. Effectively...

    Cleric (Templar) is Up

    People complained that 3E turned DnD into a video game and ruined it etc. I remember that, but I honestly cannot remember anyone saying they would turn DnD into Magic. As for Divine Oracle: So it got stealth nerfed. That's brilliant. Now I have to wonder what the hell else might actually have...

    Vampire in play

    Ah so it's not a TPK, I got the impression from your post that it was. Did the shade binder use his racial incidentally? Would have loved to seen his face when he wasted his turn to hide to discover the enemies all had tremorsense. Blackguards are actually quite impressive damage wise and losing...

    Vampire in play

    Are these prebuilt characters? What wizard doesn't have an AoE power? I find that madness. MADNESS. Also technically even without a leader, a party of three strikers shouldn't have struggled that much (well 2 and a 1/2 strikers ;)). The binder probably wasn't very useful - actually the binder...

    Cleric (Templar) is Up

    Just look at the article, they reprinted Healing Word and it now doesn't have the divine keyword. There is no more RAIing you way around it. If a power, feature or similar needed the divine keyword for healing, it no longer works with healing word. It completely sucks, but that is the way it...

    Cleric (Templar) is Up

    It isn't the fact the nerfs are justified, believe me they are and the bollocks I put up with when the Cleric in my epic game made turn undead into a close burst 8 minor action attack was very annoying (that targeted elementals and immortals, the only other 2 decent high level antagonists with...

    Cleric (Templar) is Up

    Steve Winter on the official boards posted this: That is one podcast that will be worth the price for admission. I seriously cannot wait to see what on earth they are going to say here. I could understand these changes if they gave back leader riders or abilities to the cleric, but without that...

    Just got The Shadowfell: Gloomwrought and Beyond

    Why would it? The book is designed to support paragon adventures, something that *really* needs it. Heroic tier has billions of things to do, considering how much published stuff there is for it. So something that focuses on a tier that needs it is more than appreciated. Given that the...

    Restoring Spirit Healing Spirit Mending Spirit Just off the top of my head for the Sentinel to have a different kind of healing power, with spirit being far better for a primal character than the divine sounding "healing word". I mean it's not terribly difficult so long as it gets the point...
