I'm interested in playing a Dwarf Invoker|Avenger Hybrid. My party has been in sore need of a controller for a while and could use a bit of extra striking. A big part of my plan is to beef up the invoker at will Hand of Radiance, mostly with crit enhancments and regular damage boosts. I'll be...

You could implement backgrounds and he could pick one that allows him to train the skill. You may also want to take a look at skill based powers. They were released on the character builder recently and the heal skill would probably grant him access to some healing powers, then he could...

Is this arena 1v1 or for larger groups? If it's 1v1 . . . Elf Ranger Go ranged and make sure you pump initiative to the max. Con 11 Dex (18) 21 Wis (14) 17 Feats Imp initiative Greatbow prof bow expertise Powers Daily 1 Hunts end Daily 5 Splintering Shot Encounter 3 Disruptive Strike...

Have you considered simply not taking the two weapon fighting option? You could choose Lay on Hands as your hybrid talent, then pick up a nice bastard sword main and a cutting wheel or a drow longknife in your off hand. You could take advantage of the light blade by MCing rogue, or you could MC...

I run in 3 person parties regularly. I actually prefer them. There's a few things you need to keep track of though. Whichever role is missing take that into account. -Fewer minions if there's not a lot of control, -Give them lots of healing potions and rest if there's no leader, -Steer...

Hello, any help is appreciated! I've already posted this on the character Op board at WotC but value the opinions on this board more. I'm also already aware of the changes made to the battlerager in the latest update I'm making a Fighter|Warden Hybrid for an upcoming campaign. My party...

You only grant combat advantage to the enemy you attack with the power. It's not a terrible trade off unless they have sneak attack. Fighters with a high con are better with hammers and axes. You'd probably be best served by switching to one of them. Check out the adventurers vault for a...

If a marked monster was compelled to attack a defender all the time the defender would have no reason to have all those cool abilities that trigger when their marked target ignores them. 1. Yes, it means they have a harder time hitting other targets. A moderately intelligent enemy might...

Have you thought about shield push as your other at will? If your DM uses hazards regularly or you have a controller with zones it's worth considering. It may help if we know what the rest of your party looks like.

Your cha at the very least should be getting pumped every level with this build. Even then hitting could be tough. Have you considered going Swordmage|Warlock? Int and Cha as your main stats and you can spare a few points for dex to keep your ninja skills decent. Swordmage secondary stats are...

as you can see with firelance's conversion to static bonus's it's true that at the high and low end a +2 or +3 can be better. I guess it would depend on how trained you are with the skill and how your DM sets skill DC's. I set mine with a mindset that easy = 6 or 7+1/2 level (someone untrained...

the problem is it's not exact, it varies a lot by target number and there's no way to quantify it at low fail rates. . . . but on average it''ll increase your rate of success as if you had about a +6 here are the %'s of failure at each target number with 2d20's 1=.25% 2=1% 3=2.25% 4=4%...

Actually with the armor your talking about I think the caster gets the bonus temp hp. But there's also a feat that grants bonus temp hp to one other party member = to the temp hp granted to the first. As a side note the more at will and encounter temp hp production there is in a party the more...

If you're looking for ways to show that opponents are way more powerful than the players here's something that happened to a party of mine. Our party had accidentally entered some kind of fey circle. My GM said we heard giggling and could see shapes darting from boulder to tree around us (we...

Skill challenges work best when there's a clear objective the party desires and a clear obstacle to overcome. If the obstacle is potential enemy's many parties will default to killing them. Your best bet are things they can't fight like Escape: Running away from flooding river, finding a way...

These fixes look perfect. Good job WotC! I can't see anything wrong with them and they fix everything about fighters that I can think of that I've been looking to fix. Rain of Blows Attack: Strength vs. AC, two attacks Hit: 1[W] damage. Weapon: If you’re wielding a flail, a light blade, or a...

Use terrain with cover/total cover. Limit the size of the battle field (indoors, caves, cramped allyways) and make sure your enemies have ways to get to the ranger. One of the weaknesses of ranged characters is that they aren't great in melee. Don't single him out all the time, but make sure...

There are plenty of issues with weapon use and design in 4E. Long Swords vs. Great Swords are not one of them. Anyone using a two hander will have plenty of multi [W] powers to utilize the Great Sword, which also do higher crit damage than a long sword. Just about anyone using a two-hander will...

From what I can tell Beast Masters are most optimized when using two handers, though ranged and duel wield BM's are possible.

Is that how it's written in the entry? If so as long as you've already done sneak attack damage before using your action point you're fine. I believe Rogues have one or two minor action attacks that would allow you to benefit from this feat as well.
