Except he's also a drow.

Not with sly flourish he's not.

The shadowblade, one of the paragon paths for the original (shadow magic) 4E assassin in Dragon 379. Comes with an ability similar to a 3E soulknife to create a sword of shadow-stuff from nothing.

Nah, rogues have secretly been the best damage dealers since PHB 1. They just require more/better teamwork than rangers to get there (and... er, that Blade Cascade Nerf ;) ).

What they said. If he removes sneak attack just convert your guy to a two-weapon ranger and watch him weep. Level 2 halfling rogue, 18 Dex, 18 Cha. Dagger Expertise and Backstabber. +1 dagger. Sly Flourish +11 vs. AC (13 with CA). Hits for 1d4+9 (+2d8+1 with CA). Average damage on a hit: 11.5...

I'm not actually sure what I want to do with damage numbers post heroic in my game. How much do I need to compensate for the fact that I've house ruled out all items that give always on +item bonuses to damage, for instance? Likewise, having epic tier fights end in 3 rounds is way too fast for...

My artificer with Crossbow Caster still isn't getting the bonus. Tried removing and re-adding the feat and the weapon. Guess I'll submit a bug report. Anyone else verified/checked other weaplement?

Every time someone asks me about why I prefer 4E I mention the 3E game I ground to a halt for half an hour with a level 1 spell. "So, what does Ray of Enfeeblement do to the snake, then?" "Is it's strength score odd, or even?"

Wait, what? Poor who? I don't remember anyone like that in the Company, and they're all famous...

I'd suggest letting all the PCs do some reworking. The other option not mentioned is to change him from a fighter to a battlemind if Con is really his thing. Then his powers would use Con instead of Str and his attack bonus would be around what it should be. No, they both provide Feat bonuses...

Reading it 'by the book', I could see infinite re rolls (until dead, anyway). You reroll, you miss. You just made an attack with the power and missed, you do what the miss line says. Compare to the Monk's level 25 'Strike of Perfect Clarity', which specifically says "Do not repeat the attack...

I'd be really careful with solos, even lower level ones. Ones that deal a lot of damage due to auras, non-actions vs. attacks, area attacks and whatnot should be fine. Ones that just make a lot of attacks could be trouble and drop a PC really quickly if your dice go hot (since lowering the level...

Treating all squares as difficult terrain isn't in the current compendium listing or my printed PHB. Sounds similar to the 3E rule that reduced your speed, maybe you're remembering that? For reference the current text is: [you're also immune to Gaze attacks, as indicated under the Gaze...

If you expected 4-5 and got 11, my guess is that you'll be back down to 5-6 after a month or two. If it's consistently at 9-11, split the party. It's really worth it.

I had a player who had one for a good three levels, and I believe it was used once...

A PHB Strength cleric should be flat out Str/Cha. The strength powers should mostly use Cha as their 'kicker' stat for extra effects. That said there's a cleric class feature (healer's lore) that does focus on Wis. In my opinion you're best off just dumping Wis, anyway, and taking some Con/Int...

It's never come up when I play. When I run I do, very rarely, ask for justifications for things that seem to be wildly out of character. But my group is pretty good and that's few and far between.

To .dd4e or the old copy/paste text import/export? [I really want both back]

I'd say the main consensus, is that you want a melee type to help fill out the front line. Valorous Bard should be fine. Melee Cleric, Warlord, Runepriest or Melee Artificer would also work. Each has strengths and weaknesses. Is the sorcerer squishy? What's the party's Con scores like...

Other way around in my book. I play the character how I think they would act, then the DM tells me what alignment I'm playing.
