The real trouble of this feat is if you are an Eladrin Barbarian, and want to multiclass into Rogue, to take advantage of Surprising Charge and other features the new Rogue has that support a charge oriented build. I posted something I thought was the motherload of charging power on the gleemax...

It seems that by RAW this feat limits the longsword to Rogue Powers and Sneak Attacks, but you can't take advantage of anything else that requires a light blade, for example Surprising Charge, Light Blade Mastery, Light Blade Precision. This makes the feat much less attractive... what do you...

You know, you can propose this openly to us dwarves. I'd volunteer to do this. I'll probably survive my saving throws against poison, swallowed whole, and being :):):):) out whole because noone can digest dwarfs.

I have the perfect solution to the problem. Make Power Attack available to everyone, as a general option for melee attacks. The reason is that Power Attack is only of situational use, and can't compete with other useful feats, particularly now that MP is out. It doesn't break the game if...

With these feats: you make the combo in the OP even more powerful and flexible. Throw in Horned Helm and Vanguard Weapon, and his melee basic attacks deal terrible damage on a charge attack with combat advantage. If you optimize charge further with boots of adept charging, powerful charge feat...

You know, what triggered my OP was quite the opposite incident. We encountered a blue dragon, and it was a lame fight - the dragon didn't take off, and we surrounded him and slowly beat him to death. 4th level characters. It made me think: This can't be true, so I looked him up in the MM and...

Yes that's undraconic. page 46 of the Draconomicon recommends to definitely use Hit-and-Run tactics, but tone it down when it becomes too frustrating, and let the dragon come down, driven by "bloodlust, impatience, or pride". So for me as DM when I run a blue dragon, I'll definitely torture...

Wow I'm amazed to see all the responses to my original posting. I just got the Draconomicon, and it confirms that the Blue Dragon indeed is as dangerous as discussed here. "Blue dragons rarely land", "consider combat a long-term engagement", "fly near enough to their opponents to unleash a few...

I'll get my book tomorrow... is it ok for a Barbarian multiclass fighter to pick feats that have martial classes in general or fighter as requirement?

I agree. The monster is a level 6 solo, so it's appropriate for a level 4 party.

Actually this encounter comes from a DM collective group in NYC where we experiment with stuff. One of our members, Nicolas, came up with this strategy:

Please sign the petition I posted on the WotC board to release more levels sooner rather than later. Thanks!

The dragon does have the hover power. Check this out (from Dragon): Is there a rule that specifically deals with flying creatures that are immobilized? In my opinion they fall like a rock unless they are magically flying. And a dragon flies with his wings.

Tenser's Floating Disk!!!! uh damn, only one feet above the ground. To me it looks like the blue dragon can't be beaten in the open by heroic tier characters unless he is reckless or suicidal...

great post, thanks. So listen, adventurers: Never leave the house without a rope, a couple of javelins, and that bow you never intended to use. For the dragon the best tactic is probably: Save Frightful Presence for a situation where he is in close combat and it becomes dangerous. Instead...

Definitely Sleep is an option. Range 20, burst 2. His will defense is 21, so let's assume it's a +7 Intelligence vs. Will (21). Could work. Then he is slowed (no problem). Next round, if he fails a save (+5, minus 4 MAX from Orb implement max) he'll fall unconscious and come down. Even after the...

His speed on the ground is 8, flying 10. If they try to hide in the bushes, he can still randomly blast the area non-stop. They need to split up and hope for the best, trying to follow him and find the lair.

Armore of Resistance (5 lightning) would come in handy

Forget any rope ideas please. The dragon bites it off as a minor action

Wall of Fog is level 6, doesn't work here
