    Build me a katana + trenchcoat guy

    Actually, there's something I missed: fighters aren't proficient with plate! No one except paladins is. Scale is ACP 0, speed penalty 1 for 1 point of AC less, though, so you actually jump and tumble better in scale than in hide. And once you look beyond the labels, Green Destiny is obviously...

    2[W] and Versatile?

    You are quite right. Sorry for snapping at you.

    2[W] and Versatile?

    The developer clearly states the intent was otherwise. Do you think we should go with the letter over the spirit when we have clear record of both?

    2[W] and Versatile?

    If I'm wielding a longsword in two hands (+1 damage since it's Versatile) and use a power that deals 2[W] damage, is that 2[W] + damage from Versatile for 2d8+1; or 2[W, including damage from versatile] for 2d8+2?

    Is Power Attack still a must?

    At 1-for-1 in 3.0, it was crap. At 2-for-1 in 3.5 with a two-handed weapon, it was awesome. In 4E, it's -2 attack, +2 damage 1st-10th, +4 11th-20th, +6 21st-30th with a one-handed weapon; or +3/+6/+9 with a two-handed weapon. At first glance, it seems to me that every melee character is going...

    Build me a katana + trenchcoat guy

    The best light armour (hide) is +3, the worst heavy armour (chainmail) is +6 and the best (plate) is +8. But each kind of armour also has two masterwork varieties. If I understand correctly, magic armour with a +4 and +5 bonus is automatically from the first masterwork variety, and that with a...

    Just posting to make you all jealous, I HAVE THEM

    How does Channel Divinity work, specifically how are its applications affected by choice of deity?

    Character Art in KotS

    I lol'd.

    Recharging in KotS?

    Is the (recharge 5 6) notation explained in KotS? It's been speculated that this means the ability recharges on the 5 and 6 on a d6, but does KotS happen to include a more detailed explanation? Like when you roll, do you roll for each ability separately or all together, and such?

    Multiclass Combos

    If they did indeed drop the light blade requirement for rogue attacks (as the KotS rogue writeup ever-so-obliquely hints), some combination of rogue, fighter and warlord should do fine. If not, there's always the Agile Swordsman feat, which lets you use longswords and bastard swords as if they...

    Excerpt: skill challenges

    I think that the sample presented makes much more sense if viewed as a (potential) piece of an adventure rather than a system. The NPC isn't inherently immune to intimidation, but the one particular situation is such that using intimidate will yield no favorable result. Meeting the same NPC in...

    Ritual information

    Hm... feats no longer have prerequisites (beyond tier), right? Very interesting. Edit: Wait, they do. Not sure where I was getting that. So, do you think anyone will be able to pick up ritual casting? I think it's much more likely to be limited, quite possibly not just to power source but to...

    Monsters are more than their stats

    Any particular reason why it needs to be a Succubus, then, rather than a Really Hot Chick?

    Monsters are more than their stats

    Actually, with a parallel shadow-world of the dead and a parallel fairyland and devils as divine servants exiled to Hell for a terrible offense, in many ways it feels less like it's own brand of fantasy than before. And that's a good thing.

    Excerpt: The Warlord

    So (a tactical) Warlord's Favour grants +(1 + Int) to attacks to one ally until the end of the warlord's next turn. I wonder what happens if the warlord keeps delaying. :]

    Monsters are more than their stats

    If you want to avoid the ambiguities of 3E's charm "as written, and dominated (save ends)" would be a much better model of what I imagine the succubus' kiss to be.

    Monsters are more than their stats

    ... or runs for the witch hunters, as the case may be, which is why I think the ability is weird.

    Monsters are more than their stats

    If you're comfortable modifying monsters like that, what was stopping you from doing this in 3E? Expectations/zeitgeist is certainly a valid answer, but I can't see much beyond that.
