    New Characters - Advice on building?

    Well, thank you all for the advice. I admit I was not wondering about epic yet. ;) Avenger is probably better but I think the rogues ideas are fine for now. Just curious: why people are sugesting half-elf? Must be some cheesy thing I am missing... Just for the diletante power?

    Longspear w/Shield

    Well assuming you willl allow it anyway Its simple: he could use a light shield with no benefit (just flavor), while holding the reach weapon. Once he (spartan style) grabbed a sword, he could start benefiting from the shield instantly. As the poster above commented: I would add that...

    PHB Heroes - Its official?

    Forgive my ignorance, but what is the PH Heroes series? I can see its optins on the character builder, but I dont know where are they from. I assume they are official, but are they well balanced? Opinions? I am particulary interested in: - Knockdown Assaut for my fighter, I have retrained...

    Two-fisted Shooter feat?

    I agree. Basically this feat only shines if your gamming group pay attention to the minor actions needed to do various things. Regards!

    Stronghold for PC's

    Lots of good ideas above. My 2 cents: 1- If is just a reinforced place where they can keep their treasure and where "quest givers" can find them, no worries. It would cost like 10 GP per week or so for maintence, includind a couple of servants. 2 - If its a big area, at least some of...

    New Characters - Advice on building?

    As for the Rogue... I was having trouble seeing an athletic man fighting with daggers, instead of swords, and them I remmembered this amazing movie. Great inspiration here: - V for Vendetta - V's fighting style is really nice to observe. He moves lightspeed using daggers both for melee...

    The "Bubble"

    In my oppinion this fix is actually a "break". The knock prone powers are among the less damaging effects. Lets face it: if you knock someone prone you do nothing to him per se. The guy can just stand and fight you normally. If you use that "fix", in my oppinion you are reducing dramatically...

    New Characters - Advice on building?

    Actually I know very little about both avenger and warlords. Of course I can read the books, but my experience from the fighter told me we know nothing until we start actually playing. Took me 3 months to fully underestand the Combat Challenge x Combat Superiority diferences, considering...

    New Characters - Advice on building?

    Thanks for the advice so far. Just 3 considerations: 1- I am already playing a fighter, so I would like to stay away from them for now, unless the DM asks me to. 2 - LOL fellows, I said Nightwing, not Batman. hehehe Someone else started the Batman idea. 3 - I was not very clear regarding...

    Move and Charge in the same turn, is that legal?

    This is a very important thing. I noticed that as I progressed in levels with my fighter I charged less and less for 2 reasons: 1 - campaign style related, not important here. 2 - melee basic sucks compared to my at-wills (certanly same happens witha battle cleric). Ending the turn also...

    Working the game

    Welcome here. Well first and foremost: I would live to know if most people is having fun there. Becuse if they are, so let it be. Most movies and books are full of characters that are not as effective as the others. But I agree with you that her wisdom is too low for that kind of cleric. All...

    New Characters - Advice on building?

    Hi! I have been toying with the idea of making a "smart/agile warrior" for a future campaign and I came down to 2 main possibilities, both humans: A) Warlord or B)Rogue. A) For the Warlord I have Hector from the Troy movie as an inspiration, meaning a warrior that can actually lead and...

    Healing Hands + Devoted Paladin = uber healing?

    Its ok, but remmember that Healing Hands specifically states "ally", where LoH can be used on self too.

    When is an enemy not an enemy?

    I am 90% sure the PC can decide who is an enemy. This is the basic distinction between enemy and creature. On the bright side at least in my game I accept a lock or door to be considered a creature for porpouses of spell targeting, but certanly not an enemy. So in my table a door can be...

    Scion of Arkhosia overland flight

    Not shure If I recall this one right from Monster Manual, you cant. I remmember that a monster, while using Overland Flight looses all her actions and only have a move action to flight. I may be wrong here. I think the huge advantage is indeed the freedom of ignoring all terrain...

    Attack of opportunity

    Just one thing. Its a close burst 4 in practical terms. When they are 5 and move at least one square closer is like having a close 4 around you (helps in our table).

    D&D 4E 4e Dark Sun

    Its just a matter of taste, but I was not fond of the Darksun original world. Too "powerplayish", too "allmighty muscled", where everyone was on steroids. Personal taste of course. Lets see if they keep that way. ;)

    A few rogue questions

    Red alert! Blinding barrage is a close blast, not a ranged attack, its a close blast. :confused: I remmember a discussion a while back were people came to the conclusion that 1 magic dagger would be enough for a blinding barrage attack. Seems that it is not by RAW. Am I wrong?
