    Avenger Impressions

    It's a pity the Avenger finds it somewhat hard to increase his criticals. Although he can attack twice he's going to find it hard to get one of the Epic feats to increase his critical range because of the Strength requirement. Neither does he have a paragon path that could do it for him. A...

    Are skill bonuses on races considered racial bonuses?

    I believe they are untyped bonuses, unless they say "Racial"

    Thaneborn Barbarians

    While they do get some bonuses and they have extra hitpoints to soak up damage wouldn't it technically be much better for them to take some chainmail armour? And perhaps take a feat to help their Reflex scores?

    Finally, in PHB2, WINGS!

    I wonder how many other classes have flight supported in fiction. The Eladrin have people with Flight(hover) in the monster manual, it's not such a big stretch for Tieflings either.

    Half elf "Versatile Master" Feat Rogue Question

    Well, I would say use old fashioned flanking when fighting someone after you fail. But in any case by the time it fails you've usually caused a rather large amount of damage which is the whole point of being a striker. And it's still a rather fun build.

    Half elf "Versatile Master" Feat Rogue Question

    Actually as I see it charging would automatically give you combat advantage if you used your feystep (the feat Fey Gambit). Which you can do repeatedly with this build until you miss. And considering you hit the average monster of your level with a 2, you're going to be hitting for quite a...

    "Exceptional Fluff" - the bane of RPGs (ranty)

    While in general RPGs make for poor novels some aren't too bad. The World of Darkness novels aren't exactly on my favourite list but weren't bad for RPG novels. The setting for Raymond E Feist's "Magician" was originally for a roleplaying game (an alternative to DnD). In general I agree with...

    Half elf "Versatile Master" Feat Rogue Question

    That's nothing, I found this build online: If I was going for sheer power I'd rather do the above build then that Half Elf build. Almost always having Sneak Attack and hitting 19 times out of 20 seems more of an advantage. It kinda reminds me of a Harlequin build I wanted to make a while ago...

    What Class are you? Fun tool from WOTC promoting PHB II

    I didn't like it at all. Some questions were blatently obvious. The "what power do you like" questions seem to promote the idea that classes are just a bag of powers and require actually knowing what those powers are. I'm a Wizard, which was what I thought I'd be.

    PHB2 Excerpt: Sky Hunter

    Is this from the PHB 2?

    Assassins in PHB3

    Damnit, they're making me look forward to next year. Let's hope they preview the Necromancer. It would be long overdue (ok, maybe not as a core class but I'm a fan)

    How can I introduce Warforged into my Warhammer D&D Campaign?

    Tieflings are actually much easier to introduce to the Warhammer setting then Warforged. They're mutants, Chaos touched. Just refluff them to not necessarily have horns and such but random mutations. Warforged can work, they can be something from: 1) Dwarves, covered with runes. 2) The...

    Recommend A Holy Symbol For A God Of Knowledge

    A Sword is often a symbol for reason and it has obvious symbolism for law and order. And manhood but that's another topic.

    Ampersand: Monsters, Minis, Ammo

    Screw it... or correct it? I see it less as a "screw the economy" which has the silly 20% rule and give players a chance to swap one item for another of the same level. Or trade in an old and unwanted magical item for moonshine and Dust for rituals. Hell, maybe you're a band of adventurers...

    Help me build Alucard from Castlevania

    Well, there was that thing last month about Necromancy Powers. That should provide another dark element if necessary. If you choose a Warlock you might take that feat from the Shadarkai article that allows you to use your Eldritch Blast at melee range.

    What Did You Want Fourth Edition to be Like?

    I think this sums up my opinion quite well. I tell my players to ignore everything but the mechanics in the PHB and to just look at the previews for inspiration. Besides stuff that I write for them.

    Excerpt - Rituals

    Your loyal animal pets seem to be charmed. That or require a lot of money for their loyalty.

    Best use of rituals you have seen so far?

    How did you do the arcane Lock ritual so fast? I mean, wouldn't he have died in the ten min necessary to cast it? Do you use a house rule?
