True, but both the Essentials line and the ENPub project aim to evoke old school feel within the 4e framework, so it would be folly to ignore what they're doing. Plus, personally I think it's just sensible that anything written as a power is either an attack or a utility. But that's just my...

I've ran into what I think is a new bug, but I can't exactly replicate it on a consistent basis. Sometimes, when I'm repeatedly alt+tabbing between power2ool and another window, power2ool seems to lose the Finnish/Swedish layout of my keyboard. I'm using Chrome on a Win7 32bit, if that matters...

That seems like a good, reasonable solution. Makes a clear improvement in the counterspelling ability of the character, but doesn't make it a solo-stopper entirely. Now, another thing I noticed is that you have the power noted as a Feature. As of Essentials, WotC themselves seem to be...

Oh, it most certainly isn't bad when you can only counterspell once per encounter (or even twice per encounter with the paragon feat), it's when you can do it at-will with the epic feat that it starts becoming problematic. At best, you're making a solo with Spells spend its actions for nothing...

Well, the Class Compendium entry for the Warlord (released last week) actually updates that to apply to Warlord encounter attack powers, so it can't apply to Inspiring Word at all.

That will give the most accurate results at the cost of some extra work on the DM's part. Not the most elegant solution, but it should give good results at the table. Now, on the the mechanical part... 1) The power should most definately have the Implement keyword as it is an attack targeting a...

Well, if you don't mind some outlier cases where it doesn't exactly make sense, you could go with "any power targeting Fort, Ref or Will, unless that power also has the Weapon keyword". It does leave out powers that aren't attacks, auras, and such. Personally, were I to introduce...

Second the possibility of a special card for vital statistics, though personally I've just used the monster card as a base so far. Since you can name sections however you want, I've recorded racial abilities, class features and feats in there instead of powers. Though that does remind me... The...

Another couple of things I noticed when I put in the powers for one of my players, playing a mage, to see how they'd look printed out: I like that it automatically orders things for printing. What I don't like is that utility powers get mixed in with attack powers at their levels. I prefer...

Excellent piece of software, glad I gave it a second glance instead of being turned away the first time due to the requirement of registering. Now, a couple of small nitpicks on the custom monster card side: 1) You're missing creature type (humanoid, animate), and keywords should propably...

Do note, however, that the damage of Eldritch Blast is not dependant on caster level, but on class level so it doesn't help you reduce the damage one way or the other. That said, if a DM doesn't allow a character with an at-will cold ability to cool their drink (or fire ability to light their...

I think I'll quote the relevant line from the box, in fact. Now, the CB seems to take the stance that since the Thief isn't given a choice, he can't use the Other Sources box.

At a quick look, it seems that they're pretty much interchangeable, except that the word "granting" is used when something describes the defender/involuntary target, and "gain" is when the target is willing or the effect self-invoked. It's just feels nicer to describe Cunning Stalker as "You...

By the encounter building guidelines, I'm not really sure that was a fair fight. A level 10 Warblade should be a decent challenge for a party of 4 9th-level characters, not a single Factotum basically deprived of attack spells (not that you have that many of them, but still). Especially true...

I'm not really an optimizer, so maybe I'm just not sure what's going on, but how's he throwing three powers? I can see one as a Standard action and another as a Swift action. What's he as a Move action, though?

Last I checked, ENWorld had 100,000 and some members. If we were to buy the United States, each and every member would have to scrounge up some 14 million dollars... Edit: no, wait, that's PCs' resources, not members' resources. Umm... I blame quick reading?

HP4FMJ6XRLJA Gonna start playing around now. Thanks!

Note that in the case of the sorcerer, you do get to add your secondary stat to the damage (i.e. Str for dragon sorcerers). At least, that's what I recall, haven't actually played one yet, nor played with one.

If minion damage is 4+one-half level, then its easy to remember as minion damage being half of the average damage of a normal monster, isn't it? Then add the normal +25% etc modifiers for roles and attack types and such.
