I will point out that he might just be looking for a list of those feats and maybe their short description. Much like the rituals you link to in your sig. Mark

I view it as a fairly weak power but well balanced with the Paragon class is considered as a whole. Certainly not worthless, but similar in power to a feat (exotic WP) but only for one encounter per day. It helps: anything that just flat out adds damage is nice. But there are certainly...

One comment: sure strike is a reasonable option if you can use an at-will power as an opp. attack. Often you care more about hitting with the attack than the damage as your goal (as a fighter) might be to stop them from moving. Does that make it worth taking? Maybe. I'd actually suggest...

Humm, I tend to play a defender with the goal of having just enough offense you can't ignore me, but otherwise focus on defense. So I max out AC, and do fairly well on everything else. level 1 was 20 AC, 17 Fort, 14 reflex, 13 will. Not great, but about as good as you can do. That's a...

Cleave is really quite nice. Minons often have better defenses than the non-minions. It's a really nice way to "target" a minion. Plus, the extra damage does add up pretty quickly. I love fighter at-wills. Mark

Well, I can't imagine the intent was that you get that secondary attack once for every hit. It's a good power without something that crazy good. abyssaldeath's reading of the power is the only way I can find to bring the power into line with what I think it should be. Does that reading have...

Yeah, I guess we all agree. That said, it makes for a crazy powerful power in an ideal situation. And the sustain standard seems, well, like a weak tack-on by comparison. Very odd. Just playing with making a level 30 fighter/warpriest/demi-god and finding all kinds of weirdnesses with the...

Forked from: warpriest questions I was hoping to get some futher thought from people about how they read Battle Pryes RAW and how they'd actually play it. -- Mark

I was going fighter doing the same thing. Fighter bonuses to opp. attacks (bonus to hit, stops movement) makes it scary good. Could take twin strike (dual strike?) as a fighter I guess and get all that goodness... Mark

OK, some questions about how people read the warpriest powers. Warpriest challenge let's you mark an opponent. "The next time that enemy shifts or attacks a creature other than you, you can make an attack of opportunity." #1 this would be in addition to a fighter's combat challenge right...

I likes them. Nice way to create fairly balanced elites that are interesting in a very short time. I like them a lot actually. Mark

I'd say it would be fairly easy to let one person hit you. I'd just let someone do it with no penalties. Maybe they still miss on a "1" or something? Mark

Thanks to all in this thread. This is the first time I've felt there were people who understand* what the pros and cons of 4e really are. Lizard's essay in particular almost had me standing up and clapping. Mark *where understand means "agrees with me"

I play and like 4e, but it has some serious failings. 3e's failings were greater (and 4e is new and blingy) so 4e is where I'll stay. Problems are: * Skills need love. Badly. Probably the best fix is to silo feats so that you can justify some skill improvements or diversity without gimping...

I read the _intent_ as you must swap for a power of the same type. Daily attack or utility. But that's me. Mark

I'm going with 3/4 the hitpoints and 4/3 the damage. In general that means increasing the die size one step, but d12 becomes d12+2 and then 4/3 times the bonus damage (round to closest). so d6+4 (7.5) --> d8+5 (9.5) d8+11 (15.5)--> d10+15 (20.5) d12+3 (9.5) --> d12+6 (12.5) 2d4+2 (7) -->...

Agreed. Each of the feats/powers other than Marked Scourge, are reasonable. But Marked Scourge is too powerful AND you shouldn't be able to add a stat to a damage roll more than once IMO. This may be the second most broken thing (next to double weapons and the tempest fighter build). Someone...

OK, but all it needs to do (once its power has recharged) is make it black where _you_ are and charge into the fight. As much of the party would be either completely ineffective (defenders) or largely ineffective (everyone other than controllers) I just don't see how you can win this fight...

OK, I just don't see how a black dragon can be beaten at lower levels. It seems that their ability to basically be impossible to see (the majority of the time at least) makes them darn hard to actually damage in any serious way. Melee types are hosed, and so are archers/warlocks yes? Anyone...

First of all, it is worth noting that the devastator has an identical ability (recharges only on a six, otherwise the same thing). For the elite I attached this to, the power up from allowing recharge abilities is large. That said, I think it is within the intent of the power so I allowed it...
