My Genasi Taclord actually multi-classed into Wizard and doesn't really suffer when playing the role of a leader. Great synergy with the feat in Arcane Power that adds your Str modifier to damage with elemental spells.

Unfortunately one of the designers spoke up on these boards some months ago and said that the 4 attacks interpretation is the correct one. Even Customer Service now answers fairly consistently that the 4 attacks interpretation is the right one. Prior to that, I was allowing it three attacks at...

It breaks the mechanics of surges and healing, but you're right, in actual combat it is not that big a deal which is why it's at #5. But surgeless healing isn't supposed to come that easily at this tier. At most that power should only return healing on bloodied targets.

I agree. Lots of powers break down when the dynamics of the fight changes dramatically like that found in a solo fight. Stun vs. solos should only take out one of their attacks or something similar rather than incapacitate them completely.

I signed on as an individual some time ago. I don't have any GSL stuff up yet, but plan on doing so within the next couple of weeks. Basically, 4e game rules for things based around my strip like new creatures, races, traps, etc. It will go here once I get it up: Familiar Ground » D&D...

If they change it so it only heals a bloodied target, then it would be more balanced. It would still be very good (since it has another option to grant a save), but it wouldn't break any mechanics for surgeless healing.

Yeah, that's why it's not in the top 3 ;) Like someone said, it's very similar to Blade Cascade, except it's at a lower level and an encounter power.

Here is a short list of encounter powers in 4e that I think need fixing. #5 Unicorn’s Touch (Arcane Power, Swordmage Utility 6) – This power allows healing without using any healing surges. Surgeless healing isn’t supposed to be that common at these levels, and most healing powers like this at...

Currently, I'm really liking Jump, the wizard utility 2 power. It's very unexpected when I use it since almost every other Wizard I run across prefers shield. I've used it sometimes to move PCs out of areas I want to AOE. For the most part though, it's used to jump across obstacles/hindered...

The best way is to just make a character as normal. That would balance the PC with the others. Then just describe him as an animal. Weapons become fangs/claws. Armor becomes barding, etc.

Coming up with specific feats for options would be better balanced than simply allowing the feat to be taken multiple times. You don't need 6-9 feats to get the best class features of any class. 2-3 more like it, and for some classes (like Wizard) not even that. If you allow someone to take...

Arcana check allows both history and function to be found out. Check out page 179-180 of the PHB under Knowledge Checks for DCs. Basically the higher the check he gets, the more detailed the information. He won't be able to use it though unless he uses a Linked Portal spell (or similar...

You know you can download the character generator from WotC right? The free trial version allows you to create characters up to 3rd level.

Yeah. Save yourself future headaches. This DM sounds like trouble. Either he has it in for someone at the table or he's too much of a control freak.

Yeah, the shaman MC feat is really neat for the purpose of having extra blockers on the field. I have a Rashemi Wychlaran LFR character that took it. A summoner wizard. Her spirit and all her summons take the form of winged monkeys. Will probably also take a familiar when she has spare...

Yeah, the -5 penalty already takes into account the miss factor when attacking something you cannot see. Remember, Perception is more than just vision. It's hearing, scent, etc. Please don't house rule something more difficult than what the rules already state. It just makes everything...

The FAQ allows feats like Eladrin Soldier and Weapon Focus:Longsword to be used with weapons when they are used as in implement. So if you have the Nimble Blade feat, a dagger implement and are attacking with combat advantage, then yes, you get a +1 bonus to hit. You definitely get the...

Immobilizing foes is great against certain foes. But even the eidolon/spider/minion encounter mentioned, a stinking cloud would've destroyed all minions without the need for an attack roll and done significant damage to the other two. The problem with this spell in the Ediolon and the spider...

What would be neat is if she gets a magical prosthesis instead. Pick any of the magic boots that are available, reflavor it to "prosthetic leg" and there you go. There aren't really any hard and fast rules for this - at least not til a Regenerate ritual comes up (Divine Power?). So it's up to...

They are indeed different. For one thing, you can wield a staff one handed when used as an implement...
