    math analysis of DMG loot guidelines for starting PCs above level 1

    I was under the impression that the gm is supposed to give you more or less what you were looking for. If you are supposed to get x % of stuff that isn't cool, what is x?

    Allies?

    I know! As a player, its way frustrating to have no reason to be positioned anywhere near the battle. This is why I got the gm to house rule that adjacent to spirit abilities help out both me and my spirit if I am actually adjacent to it. The added power is countered by the fact that I'm no...

    Infinite enemies

    Did they get additional xp for killing more of the enemies or was it baised on being a 'trap'? Generally speaking, infinite respawn places are never used with the group I play with as there are exactly 2 real responses. Kill them till the gm gets bored or just leave. Or, to use your frogman...

    Avenger with a reach weapon

    Cleric/radiant servant with a radiant weapon! You get wis based large aoe nukes, some healing, an egregious amount of ongoing damage with your action points and an increased crit rate to boot! Plus, cleric makes thematic sense as well.

    Shaman AC too low?

    Hideing behind a rock up to and including 20 squares away from the front line. The spirit gots some range to it. It IS a waste, as you need a feat to be able to hit with it (you have no str, recall, else you'd be able to wear heavy armor and this whole discussing wouldn't apply). This also...

    Avenger Experience?

    The thing is, if I had the other class feature, It wouldn't have came up. In those 2 combats, I never got attacked by something I didn't oath when I had something oathed. Barbarians with +42 static damage bonus at level 16 are rather more 'sticky' in drawing fire then a person with +18 who has 5...

    Avenger Experience?

    In the two combats I was in with one, the second with 15+ guys.... Once. And it was cause I did it to a ranged only combatant. Then I missed. The real extra damage is from rolling twice. Pursuit one, by the way.

    Dwarves make as good/better primal characters than elves.

    Not exclusive, Half-elfs can get any human feat a human can. They can also get a few of the elf feats, assuming that they don't key off the elven accuracy power.

    Druid Wild Shape

    True, but if you paragon multiclass, you have one at will useable outside of beast form and one useable inside of it. If you, say, ignore that beast form exists, you can take all the non-beast powers, many of which are rather good, and pretend that the -powers form doesn't exist. It just is...

    Missing Skill - Etiquette?

    On the other hand, the game is played by social interaction. You roll for the combat that really shouldn't be done IRL. Similarly, the problem with relegating strong rules for social interaction is why bother actually coming up with social interactions via rping if say, you like combat. You...

    Druid Wild Shape

    Cept when you are shifted, you loose access to the vast majority, if not ALL the actions you used to be able to take.

    Druid Wild Shape

    Page 84, wild shape ability, first paragraph last line. "While you are in beast form, you can't use attack, utility, or feat power that lack the beast form keyword, although you can sustain such powers." Side note, wild shape is a feat power, correct? If you muliticlass? It also lacks the beast...

    Shaman AC too low?

    His game's shaman's pet is called that.

    Druid Wild Shape

    There are a few feats that give you bonuses whilst wild shaped, so it's not invariably exactly the same. But, to answer the OP, if you are a multiclass druid and use up your attacks, you are now completely incapable of causing any harm to a foe unless you shift back, sustain a damaging effect...

    Dwarves make as good/better primal characters than elves.

    Get eyebite from dilettante and at 11th level, eyebite the DC'd guy every round. Hilarity ensues.

    Shaman's Spirit Companion Questions

    If you the character are flanking an enemy, spirit attacks get combat advantage, correct? Also, the shifter ability to do +2 damage when you are bloodied, plus various other abilities that explicitly give you the character increased accuracy or damage work through your spirit as well? Also, your...

    DM questions that make you go "Uh oh"

    Say "no". It's funny! The gm will instantly explode. I'd suggest hiding behind something first though.

    DM questions that make you go "Uh oh"

    The you be bad off ones: "Ooo... Another crit..." followed by"What was your max hp again?" This is sometimes followed by "Good thing you found all those diamonds" "What was your perception again?" (averted with 4th ed's passive perception) "The (watzit) sees you and attacks, what's your spell...

    Playing a 4e/PHBII Shaman? Let's hear about it

    Ya, that. They don't even have to shift, your spirit can only take an AoO if they move away from it without shifting. This has never happened.
