Then how do you have half-elves? :p

Well, to be fair, I don't think either of them really embodies everything about the Klingons, although they mirror certain aspects. Dwarves are these stocky, tough, nasty, determined guys. They're the sort that if they're digging a tunnel and part of it collapses, they'll just pick up their...

Also, one other word of advice. Familiarize yourself with the basics of the other classes in your party. If you have a Ranger, for example, he has the Quarry ability. If he's not using when attacking, remind him to do so. Clerics have Healer's Lore, which adds their WIS mod to heals, but...

Hmmm, that is odd. It doesn't make them immune, since something like Scorching Burst is a Range 10 Burst 1 attack...so it still falls under being a "ranged" attack. What it does cause problems with is Close attacks. Those are neither ranged, nor melee, and not mentioned. Since CS apparently...

I actually like what they did with the Barb's AC. As long as they start with some DEX, like the 14 you mentioned, the scaling bonus over the tiers will keep their AC and REF up without requiring them to up their ability score over time. This frees them up to just pump STR and their secondary...

One of the things that seems to be getting missed here is that those dailies were fired off in the FIRST TWO ROUNDS. This, I would say, was the major problem with why that wasn't the best tactic. Except for a few powers, it's usually not a great idea to have a Daily be your first action in a...

There seems to be quite a few misunderstandings here about the commonality of various races in the D&D world. Take Tieflings, for example. So from this blurb we learn that they often live in human cities, and would therefore be found in places like Winterhaven. We also learn that they have...

That being said though, it's only through a feat that you're allowed to use your proficiency bonus. So I would actually toss that under the "Miscellaneous mods" category to avoid confusion. Also, at least in the actual books, I'm not aware of any feats like this. I think it's solely...

Don't forget, you only add your half-level bonus to your attack roll as well. So basically, it's like this: Attack: Ability score bonus Proficiency bonus Half level Enhancement bonus from magic weapons Miscellaneous mods (racials, feats, etc) Damage: Ability score bonus Enhancement bonus...

Well, your proposed houserule would really ruin a big piece of the Inner Dragon Paragon Path in Martial Power. The Daily Utility you pick up at level 12 is called "Ancestral Manifestation". Your HP instantly drops to your bloodied value and you gain THP equal to the amount of HP that you lost...

For a group of three, I would definitely lower the power level of that ability. Perhaps just add 1d4 damage and leave everything else the same? For larger parties though, it's really not that bad. Well, provided you have a Defender that is. :D When my party hit the Irontooth encounter we...

Well, thinking of something like "Passing Attack" (Fighter Encounter 1), I would imagine that you would get to make the two attacks versus two different targets, but you can't shift between attacks. Immobilize is connected to movement, not using a move action, IMHO. This also means that you...

You're misunderstanding. The ~50% thing is a baseline established with certain assumptions. For example, a level 1 PC with a 16 Strength should hit around 50% of the time (give or take 5%) against equal level foes. Someone with a 14 in their stat, like the Ranger in my party, will hit less...

That's basically the point of the power. You can attack two guys withing range, which is a big boon. I don't have my book, but I'm assuming it's range 10. So you could hit two guys, one 10 spaces in front of you, and the other 10 spaces behind you, at the same time. That's something you...

Well, again, look to the conjuration rules. They say that it doesn't interact with the physical world unless otherwise specified by power description. So, if it doesn't specifically say that it can interact beyond attacking enemies, then it probably can't.

Yeah, the actual feat says that it's against a flanked target. Since you can't flank with one person, or flank at range, this means two people flanking the target and you firing at the target from range. For example, the classic party is Fighter, Cleric, Wizard and Rogue (perhaps an archer...

It may not be listed in the actual Shaman rules, but there are a few things that should apply to them if they're conjurations. So, you have to keep the conjuration within range. That means that whatever the original range was (10 probably) it will have to stay within it. There's also...

What power are you talking about? I don't see a Warlock Utility 2 called Spider Scuttle.

Not necessarily. It's not flanking from range, it's getting CA when you attack a target that's currently being flanked by 2 allies. So who's doing the flanking? Two Defenders? Where are the other enemies that they're not engaging because they're flanking the same target? You can't expect...

I didn't say it was perfect...but until Divine Power comes out it's probably your best bet. Straladins and Fighters match up well since they're both STR primary, and something like Victorious Surge is a power that works well with Pally's anyway. As you pointed out, you'd have to wait a...
