Flavour.

To be fair, I may be going beyond what the official materials do. myPtolus isn't exactly Monte's Ptolus.

Change your soul reaches out to your spirit friend, which faithfully appears at your side to your will draws the agonized soul of a past foe into your presence one last time; it obeys your will until released, or destroyed, knowing that soon it's misery will be over soon.. Or something.

Oh... you can play Carcassonne totally cut throat... especially when playing head-to-head. This is not a requirement, and may make others angry. That said, I also recommend it.

I am curious, however, what part of new Shaman disagrees with you? Is it mechanical, or flavour?

Stiker with Healing, or Leader with Ranged? You may want to take a closer look at the PH2, as there are a few Divine classes introduced.

What flavour are you looking for? What role?

I'm very hesitant. There is a specific plot point where I'd like to use this, and it wouldn't be combat situation ... although I might throw some minions at the defenders... but mostly a series of skill challenges.

Indeed, this is my fear, and why I asked. That said, the players know going into the game, about the anti-magic biases, both in NPC reaction and mechanical bias. In fact, I will likely not allow players to start the game with PCs that have the arcane power source, though they can...

Thanks for saving me doing the Math, but my real question should have been more specific. In 4e, are there any specific powers, abilities, etc., that pose any significant challenge to this approach? I can't think of any that wouldn't also be weird the standard way, but I tend miss the...

Anti-Magic could be very unbalancing, depending on how it is implemented. Well, to be honest, more like regardless of how it's implemented. I'm working on a 4e Ptolus campaign idea, and I was thinking of ways to do mimic some of the original 3.5 stuff for flavour reasons. I want to emphasize...

There was a suggestion regarding for this in ye olde Unearthed Arcana book. Has anyone played with this at all in 4e? I believe the notion that most people liked was to take 12 (thanks keterys) on the NPC attack, so a +7 versus would be an attack value of 19, and the PC would roll a d20 and...

I was thinking something similar, with slightly more cheese. Here, at about 4 minutes... ... at about 4 minutes in.

I was going to suggest Wrath of the River King...but I don't think it's available to non-patrons.

According to the Wikipedia entry, there is a FR Werewolf named Black Wolf that can control the curse. Not a FR fan, so I don't know much about it. Good luck!

I you don't want to move, but you want to move your spirit companion, you can: Spend a move action, and move the Spirit Companion. Spend a minor action to dismiss the Spirit Companion, and then spent another minor action (sacrificing a Move or Standard action to do so) to conjure it again...

Greenpeace seems to think so. ;)

I agree. I've considered doing something similar in the campaign I want to run (if it ever gets going). I'm OK with some of the racial stereotypes, but... I hate feeling that if I want to a good XXXXXXX, I have to choose YYYYYYYY race.

I thought we were supposed to be avoiding edition-wars?

If you can't land at the end of the movement, you can't use the power, and you don't use the Dragon Wings move action. That's a lot easier.
