He doesn't get +2 damage to ranged attacks he gets +2 damage to melee attacks when he uses his pact blade as a melee weapon. Since the at-will powers of the Warlock are ranged attacks, if he gets surrounded, we will open himself up for OA if he uses them.. so he will attack with his pact blade...

A player of mine has Bracers of Mighty striking for his warlock. He has a pact blade, and since no at will attacks of the warlock are melee attacks all attacks with his pact blade are basic. So it is now a +1 to hit and +3 on damage.

Thanks I am going to use that. My players are a Ranger, a Fighter , and a WarLock !! Two Strikers and a Defender do not an even party make. I think I am going to have the guy they help at the dig site, join the party as a warlord.

Heck I'm just happy D&D is still attracking new players. Hope they have fun. JesterOC

I read it as once you turn on the power, you will regen whenever you are at bloodied or below (not below zero of course) for as long as you maintain the stance. So if the encounter ends, or 5 minutes go by, or you switch to another stance you will regen whenever you are at bloodied or below...

I agree.

Ok so I read the ettin stat block. The way I read it, the basic attack is not meant to hold attackers off, rather it is to manipulate the battlefield. It can be used to push fighters back to allow the ettin to use a full move instead of shift when it wants to disengage. Or it can push...

So I wanted to test your Mind Flayer example So I have two characters both 14 level One an elf archer so he has the following Dex 24 Skilled in Acrobatics So his escape skill is +19 The Mind Flayer at 14th level has a Reflex of 27 So he has a 65% chance of making an escape by giving up a...

Not to me, the DC's are a tool for the DM to determine what represents a challenge for the average character of that level. That is good information. In my opionion it is more important than a chart of DC's for various stunts. Because it allows the DM to control the events better. I would...

Yes. Some posions list the damage as 1d10 then if you save it goes down to 1d8. Most I have seen are save ends. Saving throws are now for determining durration of effects rather than sucumbing to them in the first place (that is usually an attack vs Fort. Dwarves gets +5 vs poison so poison...

Yeah, tough call. The PHB uses teleportation as an example and says "a ritual that forbids teleportation could block a power that has the teleportation keyword." At first I thought the use of the word could was a hint than another keyword world allow a spell to sliip by. However after reading...

It is not as bad as it seems. A large portion of the feats are for armor and weapon buffs. The huge amount of weapon buffs actually make the feats weaker as it reduces the number of weapons that the feat helps. Also many of the physical feats require Str and Con which double the number of...

Even at 2nd level the party members will have more daily magic items reset per milestone than there class dailies. They might not be as powerful, but it seems like a big carrot to me, especially Dwarven armor it is level 2 and you get an extra healing surge in combat that will keep the fighter...

There are 2 divine based classes(Cleric,Paladin) and 2 arcane based classes(Wizard,Warlock). If you discount the Paladin you still have 3 spellcasters and one highly magical Defender. As was stated before the wizards had to loose the pocket knife uber utility factor to let others in the party...

I thought there was a lot of non stat block info on the monsters. Most entries have a lore section, they give tactics for the monster which helps you understand their "personality" and the encounter sections show the relationships between them and other monsters. While they use a lot less...

With the Fighter, Rogue, WarLord, and Paladin all taking up a LOT more space than they ever did before, I would assume that other areas would have to suffer. It might be stuff you just can't think about at the moment, but there is only so much space in these books. With the spell casters no...

Just remember that all other RPG's are standing on Dungeons and Dragons shoulders too. Which is really had to visualize :) JesterOC

I don't but I am curious also. Anyone? JesterOC

Thanks for the details it was a nice read. Sounds like a good plan. It will make for a great wrathful beatdown when the PC's come back for their stuff. JesterOC
