Pleasantly surprised to see the Swordmage doing so well! I've heard people say that they think they're overpowered, other people say they were weak, other people say they were 'weird', but I've never heard anyone (other than me) say that they like them before. So many people enjoy the idea of...

I've attempted this a few times, but never to my full satisfaction. A lawful good necromancer. Somebody who is completely pure of heart, and risks his life every day for the betterment of mankind... he just happens to do it with zombies. He'd have his travelling companions sign contracts that...

Personally, 'runepriest' sounds pretty arcane to me. They're going to have to work hard sell the fluff to me, personally. Not to mention differentiate it from the cleric who is, let's face, the Big Daddy of leaders, let alone Divine Leaders.

Yes, I noticed that problem early on. I tried to see if I could weasel my way into using a throwing hammer as an implement in this thread: http://www.enworld.org/forum/d-d-4th-edition-rules/270970-can-ranged-weapon-implement.html In the end, I've decided to only take Weapon powers, and avoid...

:confused: I actually did. You're right! That is a significant advantage. Yeesh.

I'm playing a dwarven artificer starting tomorrow, and you guys have been great so far in helping me hammer out questions about the build and whatnot. Now, I bring before you a more open-ended question: do artificers suck? I'm in love with the flavor of the class. And I personally believe that a...

Man... why can't they give us a +Con +Int race already? Why the hesitance?

Building a dwarven artificer, and I was wondering if it's possible to use a throwing hammer as an implement. 'Arcane Implement Proficiency' seemed to do the trick, but then I read that the implement had to be associated with "any arcane class." And, if I remember correctly, Swordmages can only...

Haha! Nice! I can't believe no one's caught that before...

Well, personally, I'd definitely allow anyone carried by the eagle to stop the ride whenever they wanted. Otherwise, what would happen when they arrived at their destination after only six hours of flight? Would the eagle just circle around aimlessly until the ritual's duration expired? Of...

Ah, thank you. I haven't actually checked out the Seeker for myself... luckily, DDI is the one thing I do have access to, so I'll take a peek right now.

I have an odd question for you all. Odd, but hopefully easily answered. I don't have access to the Character Builder or my books right now, and I'm trying to do some brainstorming for a new campaign I'm planning. I want to create a list of each class in this campaign setting and how they're...

I have to disagree with this one. A melee druid isn't a great controller, and they kind of goofed with the PH1 wizard, but they're starting to figure out the controller's role. It does AoE and status effects. Other classes can do this to an extent, of course, but the controller is the mighty...

4e's focus is combat and the dungeon crawl. Or, at the very least 'the game.' Any time that 'the game' falls away, 4e's cracks start to show. Stealth is a confusing mess, invisibility is difficult to pull off for more than a round, Intimidate and Diplomacy can feel clunky relying entirely on a...

Infernal Pact Patrons The Dark Shepherd Origin: Nobody is sure what the Dark Shepherd actually is. He seems to operate outside the usual hierarchy of the Nine Hells, as no archdevil claims any association with him. The Shepherd commands a host of lesser devils, however, craven and desperate...

Okay, here's the infernal pact guys. My challenge here was to come up with stuff more unique than the typical Faustian pact stuff; sell your soul for power, I think most people can come up with that on their own. I'm afraid that crummy-looking Legion movie stole a little thunder from my...

I agree with Nai Calus on all points. Quasielemental planes were cool, if utterly superfluos. Shadowdark is a ludicrous name, but oh well (I'm actually okay with Feydark, though, but YMMV). And, finally, psychognomes sound awesome. And the whole bit about religion being a trick you play on the...

I like the idea behind the role. I love swingy combat, and I make frequent use of minions, brutes, and artillery. Ran a great encounter that consisted of a beholder gauth, two carnage demons, and four rupture demons. Lots of damage flying around, everybody hitting everybody. It was awesome...

It's kind of weird how they kept stressing how the Feydark is physically smaller than the Underdark. It's sort of like saying, "We couldn't think of much stuff to populate the Feydark, so what the heck, it's smaller now."
