Thank you, this actually answers all the questions I had in one fell swoop.

If I look at page 15 in the PHB I don't think it counts as an attack, utility or feat power. Therefore I believe it is allowed by RAW. And I'd allow it even if it wasn't, it's not cheese at all.

I already did this quite a while ago, I made army lists for the different races which depended on their culture and themes and improved them with each new class that got previewed. I couldn't stick to the the power sources precisely though. Sometimes another power source was a much better fit...

I'm surprised nobodies mentioned the possibility of putting a few of these powers together and making a Necromancer class. Oh well, I know my players will be happy.

I personally disliked Witchcraft because of the fiction, the subjects were.. urgh. I liked it's possible future Armageddon though.

I pity the Avenger that oathed a minion... and the minion decided to run away because he knows he's been oathed and is scared to hell (makes sense for kobold/goblin minions), leaving the Avenger unable to use his class feature.

Avengers might have a better base chance as long as they're attacking their preferred enemy and they're only next to that enemy. From what I've heard about them at least they're strikers who do more damage because they hit more often.

Hmm, good question. Actually I just made up that example to illustrate my question. I've been wondering things really. Like, if you were to make a Warhammer setting, could you adjust the classes to match the "feel" of the Warhammer "classes"? For example when I look at the Avenger class it...

I heard that it might be using Dexterity and Wisdom

Let's say for instance that you have a player that wants to play a Drow character, his concept is that she's a dancer who does "performance art" with her swords. Originally a particularly bloody performance which used slaves that were deemed to be slow workers. Another part of the "Performance"...

Some people use maptools (although I'm not sure how well it supports 4th edition), some people use Fantasy Grounds.

I think perhaps the best lesson is to simply use the DnD system to do what you want it to do. Sometimes you need absolute evil to have a nice simple hack 'n slash game. Sometimes you can have a more philosophical game where you play with the question "who and what is evil". A setting that I'm...

You must be in some amazing campaigns. The people in my campaign (in which I'm player) would simply shrug their shoulders and go on. Or maybe blackmail their employer. I've got to play in one of these heroic campaigns where the noble heroes save the realm because its the right thing to do. In...

Has anyone noticed that the Necromantic Rituals which were scheduled for Monday seem to have been replaced?

Personally I could think of two ways in which it was done well. Warhammer Fantasy Roleplaying is one, although I admit I have never played it I did get the gist of it through reading the book. Wizards in WHFRP can do a lot of things that other PCs can't. Like boil peoples blood and such...

Two words: Harry Potter.

Fire Warrior does seem a bit... weak. Especially for a level 1 daily. You have to use a standard action to make the Fire Warrior attack, which does 1d8 + Int damage. What makes this better then a Cloud of daggers, which does (on average) 1 less damage but is an auto hit? Of a Magic Missle? Is...

I believe that if the mount is worth 150 exp it adds 150 exp worth of monsters to the battle. So the exp the players get doesn't change, just the amount of monsters.

It's a nice idea but it needs a bit more balancing. Warlocks and Wizards would get heavily "nerfed" in this as they usually do not have any Strength or Dexterity. And it's not like they're the strongest classes available. This gets even worse when you consider that the basic attack of a ranger...

Tell your players not to complain. My old DM gave out a level every 15 sessions on average. Thank God that campaigns over with.
