    The Binder is fixed!

    Neon: Sure, of course they do -- but there are some ways to get a free choice for at wills as a warlock (be a hybrid, be human). If the only thing a Binder has going for them is a better set of at-wills, you end up making those options crazily good, as they get to combine the core features of...

    Berserker Fury (Heroes of the Feywild)

    OT: whatever. It's obvious what they meant even though they took a terrible way of saying it. Regarding at wills, well, they say they are. And it's mechanical flavor, not non-mechanical, and certainly has an effect in some situations -- the Primal Vampire, Primal Fury, Spirits of Stone...

    The Binder is fixed!

    *blink* Binder at-wills have a level now? I thought the only thing the class had going for it was having true controller at wills that regular warlocks didn't get access to?

    Berserker Fury (Heroes of the Feywild)

    Oldtimer: I didn't claim anything -- I was just rephrasing the advice so it made more sense in the context of how the rules work. You can, of course use primal powers when you're not in Berserker Fury -- but not without entering BF.

    Berserker Fury (Heroes of the Feywild)

    Read the sentence again, this time keeping in mind the advice given (to get -more- martial powers) It's not "you cannot use martial powers when you are under the influence of Berserker's Fury". It's "you cannot use (your) non-martial powers when you are not under the influence of your...

    Paragons of Fey Valor

    Peter pan is a flying swashbuckler powered by fey magic. What's not to like? Regarding the D20 static bonus powers (now that's an unfortunate description), I think the appropriate scaling would be either +9 (make it comparable to some other static +9 powers) or Stat+7 (maybe +6) at 20, scaling...

    Demon Paragon Path and Epic Destiny

    Nah. The only powers in the game that are weapon and implement are the Hexblade powers that are intended to be used with a weapon that is also functioning as your implement. Remember, adding the "weapon" keyword in means you get to add your weapon proficiency bonus in -- which in this case...

    Demon Paragon Path and Epic Destiny

    No you didn't, at least as it is you have it back to melee 1 or ranged 5, with the charge. Frankly, I think you should leave it like that; it's a nice demi-feature; particularly with the PP reighned in, and doesn't hurt classes that take it as a ranged boost.

    Demon Paragon Path and Epic Destiny

    Favor tokens to demonic runes is cool by me; I made up "favor tokens" because the original version had an unnamed resource, and it made a lot more concrete sense to name it in some way. Ok, the ugly: I think the power level of the PP is more or less right -- but I do have an issue with how all...

    Demon Paragon Path and Epic Destiny

    I love the current PP and AD; they both look worthwhile and much, much more balanced now!

    Demon Paragon Path and Epic Destiny

    Prereq: That's what multiclasses do; they let you qualify for feats and paragon paths. Just say "any Arcane". I'd drop the attempt at "not divine" -- remember, Asmodeous is a god. There's no reason one can't be a demon and work Divine magic. I'd just make it "you are considered elemental and...

    Demon Paragon Path and Epic Destiny

    I'd probably make it "any arcane", sure. Or maybe "any non-good"; even though alignment restrictions are generally discouraged, this is a good one to have one. Ok, here's where I'm thinking KISS (keep it simple). The idea here came out of an elemental class, but really this is more about...

    Ideas for a New Class

    I like your advancement a lot better as stand-alone paragon paths and epic destinies. Regardling the base class idea, I'd probably build it as a monk or a sorcerer. As a monk, you'd be providing an alternative subclass with several builds; the new subclass would be psionic, elemental (instead...

    subtle weapons and sorcerors

    Hmm. I concur--though the question then is what it means to make a damage roll with a weapon (as the damage roll is spell damage, not W). But technically, you're making a damage roll with your primary weapon, and the secondary weapon's enchancement bonus is only getting added in because of...

    Ranger (Archer) interesting feat choices?

    Beast Master (Wolf), Grounding Shot, Savage Wolf? With this combo, your beast prones on a basic, and in addition your ranged attacks get +2 damage and no penalties against prone foes. So when an enemy tries to get away from your wolf without shifting, it gets an OA and knocks them down, then...

    Witch familiar and spell swapping

    Frankly, it's nothing to the nonsense that is the Soul of the World ED U26. I mean...once per day, when you hit 0, heal to bloodied, gain an additional use of Memory and gain your pick of: A race to get a Racial encounter power from. A class to get a U22 from. Talk about AP (er, sorry...

    Seeking a magic item that helps to hit

    I'd look at: Combat Advantage, Expertise, Luckblade (reroll attack as daily), in paragon or high heroic, Fortune Stones (in this case, probably Stone of Earth [melee weapon only] (another reroll)), Potions of Clarity (these are mostly too expensive, since sometimes you won't use the reroll...

    Melee Ranger Dex/Int question

    Abdul: Actually, I'd argue that most builds where the primary stat provides AC make a good argument for that 20. And you have to look at it for heavy armor strikers. Beyond that, though, it depends on your feat requirements and such.

    Melee Ranger Dex/Int question

    OD: I tend to go "Ok, you're down a few things; lets see if we can find something unique to make it worth losing those things!"

    Saving Throw vs Death Saving Throw

    I'd argue (strongly) that dying isn't an effect a save can end. Therefore, powers and abilities -- including Font of Life -- that call out "effects that a save can end" can't grant death saves. Are there any left?
