Ah, cool! Thanks! :) Fair enough. Not that I was really disagreeing, but I'll throw in that I think your argument is valid. (I also think that polearms and their gamble are under-rated...)

Fighters' challenges are really nice, IMO. I've found them to play well and if the fighter has a good close burst attack encounter power - even better. The paladin has some difficulty with defending multiple people. He's better against elites and solos (or offering the ranger/rogue a provoke OA...

When I DM, I encourage players to play whatever they want. I'll adjust the difficulty/encounters to generally be a challenge for them. In harder fights I might exploit their weaknesses, but generally I try to soften it up a little bit. Of course, I'm also into letting the dice fall where they...

Thank you. While I don't need the site right now in any games that I'm (trying) to run/play, if I ever run a large WoD game again I would need it. Badly. So, bookmarked for the future.

Why not weapon focus:Light Blade? Not a huge damage bump, but just curious. Also, why not assume more dex focus with the fighter? The ranger will have toughness, but the fighter has a few more surges - and thus longevity in combat. I guess I'm just trying to understand what your point of view...

First, I gotta' say that was awesome. So, now for my actual response. How do I deal with it? I ignore the flavour text as written. Continue on. HP/HS/2W? I had accepted the idea of HP being a combination of adrenaline, blood, will power, etc. A hit to the armor might bruise, but on some...

I'm all for exceptional house rules almost all of the time. Especially if it's fluff over crunch. Something that works for a character is much more important to me than trying to make it system perfect. I also tend to balance EVERYTHING else in the world to higher powers. If I give a PC...

Bump for SR. Sorry... I only have the core books. Edit: Core 3rd. Core 4, and errata reprint 4.

I was very angry about the way those powers for Eladrin fighters worked. The change is so nice and good.

First game of D&D I actually played in was a 3.0 game. A friend invited us over -we were a huge group - and we played. He didn't really have the rules down too well, so another friend in that group suggested some of us split off and start a new game. So we did. He and I switched off DMing duties...

No worries. I time/mind ninja.

Has anyone run the math of power attack sure strike thing? ...actually... has anyone ran math for moderate strength power attacks w/ sure strike & two hand weapons? Regardless, I concur. A little love for the 2H Fighter'd be nice... maybe a few powers and feats or something. Generally better...

Hey, that sounds cool. Even if they don't do that w/ the barb, I hope they do something similar later. It sounds sort of like an improved control fighter... and I like those a lot (but not as much as 2WFighters). ........I agree fully. I hate to say this, but I can't find any mention of the...

I know I shouldn't publicly announce such joy and amorous feelings... but... but this makes me all giddy inside. 2WFighter. It's interesting to me. The way the Dual Strike is for single target ownage instead of the variation of the ranger. I also like that it could potentially be so very...

Berserker Weapon? The weapon for Barbarians, or a weapon that gives a taste of their power? I think the barbarian will (as most have said) have a Rage state. I think this will be the barbarian's version of cursing or hunter's quarrying. Rather than placing a sort of mark (I know, not mechanical...

Sad self bump is sad.

Chillborn are really friggin' scary. I only put 2 against my players one time in a group of things and they were pretty tough. Our DM threw four against us w/out really reading their rules beforehand. We lit them on fire, closed the door, and backed off. I think 2 or 3 of us went down and got...

So... I like it. The article and its stuff. It didn't wow me, like some other things have. But, it was still a nice little preview of some cool features. I'm really thinking of allowing characters to use battle standards as spears or something, and allow them to raise their standard to allow the...

Aww... it's okay. We understand.

It works well for what you're going for. I think it could be a fun variant for teaching a player a new class. Say a PC wants to start a new character of a different class... I think a speed leveling of the new class would help them learn that class. IMO, 4e is easier to learn through play than...
