Eh I am smelling a whole lot of rancid ricotta about Essentials. Tell me this, when is Arcane Power 2 coming out? If it isn't, tell me why the hell I'm supposed to believe that Essentials isn't 4.5e? Mod Edit: Folks, if we can tell what you're saying, it is still profanity, and we're...

I have a warlock/swordmage that I am having a lot of fun with right now. I multiclassed fighter and picked up the Avernian Knight paragon path. I use a rhythm double sword and have dual implement proficiency. My only melee attacks are Transposing Lunge and Eldtrich Strike so I have an at-will...

They may not also be able to accurately obtain information either. I remember one time we had a TPK - 1. The barbarian survived. In the middle of nowhere. With road signs pointing him in the right direction. And he couldn't read. Good times. Keep a sheet of graph paper handy. If you need to...

What do you have against milk? :)

If your DM wants a weapon to be central to a campaign, he should make it a weapon his PC's want to use in my opinion.

Sounds fun Sounds fun, wish I could make it this year.

1. Frank might possibly be one of the new people that was discouraged by the poor quality of the Encounter material (encounter building as well as editing). It should be a lot easier for a novice DM to run the encounters as written and instead I think novice DM's just killed a lot of people...

It's probably really good that not everyone has been exposed to this season's D&D Encounters to be frank.

As owners of the Dungeons & Dragons brand, Hasbro has two responsibilities to me, as a stakeholder. #1. Produce quality material. For the most part this happens. The free Encounter and Game Day material is a notable exception however, and strange, since this is the first exposure that many get...

It doesn't help that 4E treats rituals like 1E treated psionics, awkward rules that didn't dovetail with the rest of the game, hidden at the end of the book.

Optimization For an optimized party Lead the Attack trivialized solo encounters. It's in-step with other 1st level Warlord dailies now, in my opinion. Any 1st level daily that you hang onto over other choices through epic deserves some scrutiny. As far as defenses, it really depends on the...

Optimized 4E has kind of been boring me lately I'm looking forward to seeing how this change pans out.

Magic Missile Yeah they should have created a new power called: Grognard's Magic Missile or Archaic Magic Missile. I think that they are hoping to scoop up a good portion of old school gamers with the Essentials line and one of the biggest zomg comments you get from old school gamers is...

Less emphasis on 5E? I can't speak for other gamers, but I know that with 4E my investment in books and materials has been significantly less than in previous editions due to Insider. A new edition wouldn't really put me out at all as long as they maintain the same subscription scheme. This...

Or...... Or, you know, carry an extra weapon. Cheap one. Augmenting whetstone. Good times.

Besides, according to stereotype, none of us is supposed to know whether the depictions of sex would be accurate anyway. Because, like, were all virgins that live in our mom's basement.

Yes, dominate allows for an at-will action. He could free action drop the axe, or make a ranged basic if it's a thrown weapon. Thrown weapons return. If it isn't thrown, it's improvised, no proficiency bonus and 1d4 damage. That's for PC's. For a monster I'd give a -2 penalty and 1d4...

It was Lord of the Rings not Lord of the G-Strings. :p

All paths lead to immunity/damage threads.

Up the Ante As mentioned previously, you have a group of pretty durable characters. Two defenders, and I bet the druid and barbarian have Con as a second stat. My advice: use terrain advantageous for enemies, ranged attackers, and ranged attackers. Controllers are anathema of melee. Also...
