ClverNickName has pretty much given you all the good advice you need. However, I'll contradict him ever so slightly... just because you're charismatic and likable, it doesn't mean you're smart. ...if every now and then your character who's wheelin' and dealin' w/ the NPCs draws a blank and says...

The mouse strikes with a rather nice article. I scanned through the forum pages and didn't see any mention of this. It's got some lore that I really like and will probably see some use in my games. It also has some crunch that made me a very happy dm, but stuff that I knew my PCs'd like. What...

Haunting Strike is level 23. But, yeah. It's completely better than Punishing Strike. Edit: And grats on the recognitions, Family and Underage AOLer! Edit2: I don't know if this counts as Errata or not, but in the PHB table of contents Conditions on page 277 is not listed at all. In the section...

What about pre-4e games? Y'know... where 4e rules were used and anything new was added into the mix as released until the pdfs were leaked and then the books were released and bought? Because by my estimation that'd be about... 30 or so hours for me w/ a LGS game of the DDXP module added into...

My on the spot house rule was double the damage.

Now you're thinking with portals.... or at least, thinking thoughts I dig. I'm convinced the system has strong declassed roots where it would simply be divine, martial, and arcane characters... then features and powers were created to be appropriate. However, I think your system is a lot more...

A song's stuck in my head. Anyway, I figured I'd take a crack at converting the rogue to a ki-based striker. Unless ki works totally weirdly, like a ninja in 3.x, here we go... The Rogue to Monk conversion. Step 1, assume that all references to Martial are in fact references to Ki. Improvised...

I think 2e had a lot of holdouts. I remember my girlfriend and her group calling 3e, "For stupid people who can't do math." Fortunately, I converted her and most of that group over time. It does make me think of the way people find a thing that rubs them the wrong way and completely writes off...

Thanks for this thread, it rocks something fierce. I posted the following on page 17 (as part of a barely longer post) of the other forum thread... Also, is stated under Sword Marshal, but everything he/she does is heavy blade based AND can be used w/ polearms. That's gotta' be a mistake...

This is a commenty question, but does this then imply that Containing Strike was originally the Fighter's marking anti-shifting jazz? If so, then it becomes that you can mark the enemy with a charge. Maybe it's supposed to be any at will power? Also, is stated under Sword Marshal, but...

Stating the obvious... Just about every rogue ability is sweet.

A fighterzard gish is doable, especially when half-elf.

Hrm... I think the first one's answer is that Shadow Walk or whatever does not offer concealment for hiding. I think hiding w/ the person aware of where they are would be Full concealment... a -5 to hit or +5 to defenses however you want to look at it. 2. I don't think so, but... I don't...

Apologies, sir. (I just sort of assumed the combo was based on using an action point...) Edit: Ninjas are mammals.

I will miss all those random treasure charts as well. I only used them for a starting point... but they were so much fun. And if they gave me something awesomely useless (or useful) and my PCs stared at me in disbelief, I could give them a thumbs up, wink, and say, "Rolled for it." ...I'll...

Rules-wise or sanity-wise? Rules-wise, cantrips are a class feature so it doesn't work (unless errata says something later). However, I think most sane people will agree that it's fine. If there's a rules-lawyer they might have beef, but... do it.

Hong, don't blade cascade the forums. Houserule a limit to the number of attacks? Wis Mod + 2? Edit: I assumed you were being sarcastic... now I'm unsure.

See, I'm nearly deadset on building me a fighter controller and a Warlord defender.

Radness. I'm glad she has fun and wants to play again. I'm glad I checked about the observation, then... 'cause I wasn't sure if it was negative or merely an assessment. Hope she gets some good use out of marking and that Delver's armor next time around.

I had to send someone this story, so I sent it to a PC in my pre-4e game. His response, "I want this kid to be my kid. Like, right now. He is cooler than like 95% of people my own age." A very excellent story that made me laugh and grin.
