Forgot about that. That's probably the best course of action. :blush:

His stats in the compendium are missing some stuff, but he certainly looks pretty nonthreatening for a solo. He's got no abilities that scream "skirmisher." He doesn't have reactions and interrupts like many solos do, nor movement powers to hamper or evade his foes. His damage (1d6 + 6) is...

You're likely to get frustrated from missing a lot, and possibly bored by it, but if there are a couple of strikers in the party to make up for your lower damage output you can still be effective as a defender. If you're a battlerager that's even more so. I partially agree with fba827, though...

I could have sworn this was handled already by there being rules for falling into water, but can't find them now. I may be remembering prior editions.

There is a system for 'Fighting is done, spend your surges, look he gets back up.' It's called a short rest, and it's way too slow to help someone that's dying.

Probably because people keep posting to it, which bumps it to the top, gets it more exposure, and invites more people to post to it. :)

It's as invalid while swimming as it is while flying. The twain never meet. Flying and swimming are both different ways of saying "not on the ground" and prone means "on the ground." It's not like 3.x where you could be flying through the air supine and be considered prone. Whether crashing...

If you're swimming, you're not prone. You're only prone if you're lying on the bottom.

Not sure about the gloves. Not even sure how I'd rule them if it came up in a game. Probably in favor of the PC (extra d6 every time), since it's a daily and there are many creatures immune or resistant to necrotic in our game. You definitely get implement bonus damage for the Effect line. It...

Heal checks can also give +2 to the next save, which is usually safer when you're dealing with something where failures will kill you.

It kinda depends on your definition of "blow through." PCs are supposed to destroy encounters of their level or lower (sometimes level +1) without breaking much of a sweat.

Not much, especially if the dragon is stuck to the fighter and/or they're unaware of the stealth errata.

As long as he has shield proficiency he's cool. Yep. He can use the daily, but orb mastery only applies to At Will powers. The only thing that stops it from being expended is if the secondary attack hits. It doesn't matter what happened on any previous uses of the power, or if they're...

Daze and blind were mentioned. Stealth + Deft Strike is nice too.

Magic weapon?

It sounds like the played the skirmisher as a soldier/brute, which could account for the beating it took. Skirmishers are designed to use their mobility to prolong their lives so they can make up for their lower damage. If they stay within melee range most of the time, they're going to get squashed.

How many is "a horde"? If it was 8 or fewer you gave them a standard encounter's worth of xp with lower level monsters, which is expected to be a fairly easy encounter. Lower level monsters aren't worthless, but they are going to die faster and do much less damage. To compensate you need good...

Why do people get feisty with font and coloring? Anything that makes it harder to read your post makes it less likely people will want to struggle through far enough to help you out. All the "style" in the world is less than useless if it gets in the way of your goals.

The standard array is built using point buy. There's nothing stopping him from using it unless the GM changed the starting points. There's also a handy table of a bunch of different point buy options for those unable or unwilling to do the math themselves.

There's already another thread on the front page with this exact title and topic.
