then the free action simply takes place after the turn ends. Taking away the free attack the PC rightfully earned is totally unpracticable and unfun. Any DM here who actually does that? I prefer common sense.

Some of you guys don't read the rules, but make gigantic assumptions about them. I really don't understand your problem with free actions. The rule: Can it get any simpler than that? The only restriction is the DM. He can call it quits when a PC is abusing them. the free attack during or after...

Hmm I was just thinking, if a Half-Elf is getting Righteous Brand as his Dilettante, he doesn't even need Versatile Master to convert MBA's into Righteous Brand with Power of Skill. "You can use any power you have that is associated with this feat as a basic attack."

OK, here we go, a build that's not Hybrid. He hopes to get more crits with Jagged, because combined with Reckless attacker he can get more free Righteous Brand attacks. Dancing Defense is a stance from Fighter Essentials (Dragon 378) that grants more basic attacks. Regarding Feral Armor: I...

chicken little, haha. Well I've played D&D long enough to know that the combos I showed are definitely not chicken little. If DPR and novas is all that counts, yes, they might be chicken little.

That's very true. This Eladrin build will increase the fun for everyone, including the DM, in most battles.

OK the feat might not be broken. But it seems overpowered. Fine with me, I have fun creating these builds. This fellow is an Eladrin Fey Charger with Greatspear, who also takes fighter daily powers that grant free melee basic attacks throughout the encounter (Hounding Longarm, Piquing Dare)...

Or this guy. He can use Righteous Brand 5 squares away (Farslayer weapon) and gets 4 free uses of Righteous Brand per encounter through various items (usually, depending on whether the trigger happens). He also uses RB on all OA (+5 attack bonus) and Combat Challenge, which is really nice. All...

This dude takes the two best at-wills, uses them on charge attacks and OA. His charge attacks are like nothing the game has ever seen, by hitting, then shifting one square, and sliding the enemy 2 squares into his old square, knocking it prone with Polearm Momentum. That's a pretty nice start...

That Quicksilver Stance is just one example. With the Power of Skill feat alone you can get HBO at level 1

I can make a list of dozens of powers and items that abuse this feat. What were they thinking? It also works on OA, so you practically get HBO without heavy blades and the atribute requirements. I have so many possible builds and combos in my head I'm getting dizzy.

The feat allows you to use 4 powerful at-wills in place of a basic attack. With Quicksilver Stance you get those attacks as a move action replacement. Feral Armor grants you a burst 1 encounter power, all attacks with one of those at-wills. This one combined with a reach weapon grants you...

It's also really important to note that Rampage only triggers when hitting with a barbarian attack power, while Swift Charge triggers regardless of the power that downed an enemy. For the sake of drama and fun, we rule that Rampage and Swift Charge can take place in any order. Also worth...

In our group we call anything that's not dice rolling in battles "jerk time". It's a fun time. We act out, say silly things, in short, behave like children and do "heroic" actions or just stuff to derail the DM's plan. Skill challenges as laid out in the DMG have no place there. We tried it, but...

I've noticed that combat in paragon level is extremely dominated by crippling status effects. We had a 4 1/2 hour fight yesterday with only 4 players (experienced) and a well prepared DM. The encounter was from a published adventure, Demon Queen, and just a regular level +2 encounter. Most...

There are no such powers anymore, and that's a good thing. Please don't start an edition war. :)

Clean :) I was thinking, Uncanny Dodge is not such a great feat for this build. As a fighter, I want them to come back adjacent and try again. When monsters know that I grant CA, they might try to move closer again, and wooomp, another attack. My DM plays monsters smart, but they don't have meta...

The thing is, all this ONLY works with the glaive, because it's the only polearm that's also a heavy blade. So you can combine Polearm momentum, gamble, and heavy blade opportunity. So tide of iron doesn't work because you can't wield a shield together with a 2-handed reach weapon. Without...

The objective: A true fighter/warlord who can push (Opening Shove) OR slide (Footwork Lure) enemies at-will, knocks them prone with both attacks utilizing Polearm Momentum, enjoys Polearm Gamble (opportunity attack when enemies come adjacent) and also converts those opportunity attacks into...

The whip is a flail. Look out for powers and feats that work with this group. Also, spear and flail has some synergies, with dual strike. For powers, "rain of blows" works with flails and therefore is the best encounter power you will ever get. Pick all powers you can get the knock prone, it...
