I'm pretty sure that a Battlefist can only be obtained by a particular artificer paragon path, the Self-forged. Incidentally, it's not a path that warforged can take.

The sword hurler paladin just needs to upgrade to a farbond spellblade bastard sword. d10, baby!

Ohhh. Hmm. The simplest thing you can do is buddy up with your fighter friend and get cover from him. The next step would be to talk the ranger into using his mobility to threaten the ranged attackers. Another possibility is to talk to the wizard and see if he has or can take some powers to...

Ranged attackers are going to do what they're going to do and the only solution to them is tactical advice for the other members of the party. There's not all that much you can do about them other than say, "I'm giving buffs to people who attack the archer." In our games, the monsters rarely...

The rat swarm takes 2 damage. The rat swarm asks, "Is this from an area or close power?" If the answer is yes, the rat swarm takes 10 extra damage. It's that simple.

To start with, your AC and reflex should be decent because you ought to have a rather high intelligence. Your defenses won't be phenomenal, but you shouldn't be auto-hit. This ought to be ok, because you should only be taking hits for a limited time. If you help out your striker(s) with claws...

You would do well to introduce him or her to the grasping javelin. For the low, low price of zero gold, you can convert your +2 or higher magic javelin to a fabulous supertool. But if they won't accept a magic ranged weapon of any kind, I don't know what you could say to change their mind.

Yes, you can use a thrown weapon with power that says "Ranged weapon". No, it does not override what ability score a power uses--unless that power is "Ranged Basic Attack".

That's the point of Spirit Tempest. All allies in or adjacent to one of your zones or conjurations regain hit points "as if they were adjacent to your spirit companion". If you've got a power available, you can use it out of combat. I personally dislike the restful healing feat, since it...

They can only lay on hands one per round. It's down there in the Special: entry. That can be easy to miss.

Walking out would be a bit dramatic, but the writer could have at least put some creativity into it instead of just copy/pasting the other two traps.

There's an LFR adventure with an all-trap encounter, but you don't want to use it. It starts with a rolling boulder trap. If the boulder hits you, it hurts you, pushes you 2, and knocks you prone. The boulder herds you further along as hallway with 3 more traps, one targeting each of Fort...

It sounds somewhat inconvenient. At least in D&D, any coinage you actually care about gets pretty big pretty fast. Besides, what are the players going to do with it at the end of the session? Write down their gold total and hand them back? I guess it wouldn't be so bad as a prop for...

There was once a gigantic debate about a wizard who wanted to teleport to the moon. Some said this was beyond the power of a teleport spell; other said he should arrive, only to die of hypoxia. I thought he ought to have found himself clinging to a bright patch on the inside of a gigantic...

The way I see it, the PHB1 was very hit or miss. Back when those powers were written, the devs had a mediocre grasp on what abilities are actually useful. Since then, they've learned a lot and newer content has been a lot more moderate in power level. Sure, there are still some powers that...

In a thread featuring Eagle Summons the Fire, you're criticizing Garrote Grip??? Cart before the horse, my friend. Cart before the horse.

They tried the temporary hit points thing with the artificer and I think it makes an interesting change of pace. As for the DR, I think you mean immediate interrupt. It sounds cool, though. Although check out the whole avenger AC thing. They recently nerfed Avenger AC and are giving them...

They don't use their proficiency bonus for attack rolls because none of their attacks target AC.

There are feats you can take that let you apply poison as less than a standard action. One of them is a style feat I forget the name of. Another way is the Poisoner multiclass powers. These individuals just practice enough that they can do it better than the default character.

The thing about AKAN1-1 is that it could very easily be much better. A friend of mine improvised a skill challenge to get information from townsfolk about the area and the ruins. If you think about it, the first fight makes zero sense at all, but if you combine what the mod presents as two...
