Yes and no. Wardens are great for marking a whole crapload of guys, and while they are great for giving enemies a lot of incentives for not attacking the warden's allies, only the fighter is the best at actually preventing the enemy from doing so. I still think that fighters are the best...

My goal for the aura was to make the battlefield dynamic. Players would realize that getting closer to her would gradually make it more difficult to hit. This would encourage them to move around a lot more and the queen would have a reason to use her powers to move the players around. I'm...

Not to mention Self-Forged being one of the sweetest paragon paths.

Finally an honest response from CS! Translation: "I have no idea, figure it out."

As a dm I like the challenge of making minions actually threatening. So far I've made sure they're relatively high level and that they have some other ability besides "attack"

Fart dart!

In the race description of the Banshrae in the Monster Manual it clearly shows that the Banshrae have no mouths, and even says that Banshrae are unable to sing or play wind instruments... fair enough. And yet they are ARMED WITH BLOWPIPES. Banshrae Dartswarmer Banshrae Warrior Can anyone...

I'm pretty sure it means you do the extra cold damage but only when you are attacking yourself.

I notice that additional downloads for #3 are available on the War of the Burning Sky link but the adventure itself is not available on the downloads page. Has this not been released yet or am I missing something?

No, a craghammer is a superior weapon which means you need a specific feat to use it. It's worth it.

Could you elaborate? I'm not sure what you are talking about exactly. Do you essentially mean having random loot drop from a certain level or are you talking about handing the players a full list of treasure for them to choose from? If it's the former some of us do stuff like this: "To go...

After looking around I've found there aren't a whole lot of items out there that consistently improve your attack bonus. This is not surprising, hit bonuses are something that's very controlled in 4e and falls within a tight range for the purposes of balance. Yet, damage can be explosively...

You only need to do one thing; go to a fly-fishing store or sports outlet and look at tackle boxes. They were designed for minis but they won't tell you that.

Hammer Shield, not shield hammer. From the Adventurer's Vault 2. It's a shield enchantment that gives you an untyped +1 bonus to all defenses whenever you hit an enemy with a hammer.

Depending on how his DM is handling treasure he could have a Hammer Shield as early as level 4!

You won't have anything available to you at heroic that merely raises your defenses all the time. It will all be situational. The only feat available to you now that helps your defenses is Markings of the Predator, which gives you +1 defenses when you bloody something. That, and defensive...

Why isn't toughness a good choice? Thatwackyned's warden is doing some hardcore defending in his group and the extra hp goes a long way to keeping him up, even if it's only for another round or two. There's no reason for him not to take it, especially by paragon. While I'm at it, defenders...

Ehhhhh... Improved Initiative is an ok feat in my opinion, but you would be better served by having Toughness. Wardens have more HP than any other class and you should definitely specialize in your strengths. Remember that more hit points means a higher surge value as well. Regarding Crushing...

Another problem could be your party's tactics. You're a defender, but you can only take so much. (You'll get steadily more invulnerable as you level up don't worry.) Since you're the only melee character you'll be taking all the front line attention, which is a lot. You've got two strikers, so...

Toughness is a good feat that any defender should pick up. Also remember to take advantage of your stone's endurance racial power. Whenever you've marked a pile of opponents, activate stone's endurance for an extra 5 damage resistance per hit. My other advice is to save your action points...
