Bags of Holding are what, level 2 items? A Paragon tier character can afford a dozen of them easily and they only weigh a pound each. Loot. Duh. DMs are supposed to give PCs items that they want. Obviously his PC wants magical bastard swords.

Ah yes, I remember why I stopped responding to this thread, now. Less rules debates and more snerts.

OK, let me rephrase for the people that intentionally miss the point. Vorpal weapons have always been the single weapon you don't want to get crit by. They're the most lethal crit weapon. They really aren't, anymore, if you take the convoluted "rolls are rolls except when they aren't rolls but...

There's only a very small handful of disarming abilities in the game. The only two I can think of are the Fighter power Exorcism of Steel and an immediate reaction power on a couple Kuo-Toa.

Can I mention OOP game worlds? 'Cuz I really miss Mystara and Planescape.

It does just as much damage (the majority of the time) on a crit as a Vorpal weapon, and Vorpal weapons have always, in every edition, been "lethal if it crits" weapons.

I'm afraid I can't sympathize either. I do have a FLGS - emphasis on F - and the owner goes out of his way to put that F there. His store is actually two adjacent lots in a strip mall; one is full of merchendise and 9 or so computers that he sells access to by the hour, while the other is a...

IMO - The "+2 to two but no negatives" approach is far less of an enforced stereotype than old 3E racial stats with penalties were. It's not too terribly hard to make good characters that have no relevant racial stat bonus to their primary stat (Elf Fighters, Tiefling Warlocks, Dragonborn...

The problem I have with "Oh it's fine it does +6d12 on a crit" is that there's a level 27 weapon that also does 6d12 on a crit.

Where in the definition of Striker does it say they have to be glass cannons? I can't see any reason why you can't have a pure melee focused Striker with a ton of hit points and a lot of abilities to trade defenses for damage and attack bonuses.

Yeah, Fighters have vastly better marks. To be fair, some Paladin powers multi-mark, but those "extra" marks don't carry any baggage besides the -2 to hit other targets. With the Fighter, a multi-mark lets the fighter essentially take control of the enemy.

I count 5 (Holy Avenger, three of the holy symbols, and one of the rods), The wording on several of the implements disagrees with you. Either none of those items function, or you're wrong.

Reaping Strike: Inflict 3 damage on a miss. Minion: Never take damage on a miss. Is this really a difficult concept? Minions never take damage on a miss.

So all those implements that say they give bonuses to your spells and prayers ... don't?

Meteor Swarm isn't compared to Godstrike because Godstrike isn't a control ability, it's a striker ability (and yes, it's rather amusing that Clerics get zero Leader abilities at their top tier). That's like comparing Fireball to Cure Light Wounds - completely irrelevant. They compare Astral...

Good job with the intentional misquote. The ENTIRE quote is: "Magic weapons and implements, as well as high crit weapons, can increase the damage you deal when you score a critical hit. If this extra damage is a die roll, it is not automatically maximum damage; you add the result of the roll."...

There is no terrain of any sort in this particular battle. The trees are spread far enough apart to not cause trouble with movement or vision.

I think he was referring to alternate paths such as the strikers have, rather than entirely new classes.

Because it's not supposed to be common? The tradeoff is you get to pick your three powers, which means they're almost guaranteed to be more synergistic as a whole with your character than any given paragon path. If they weren't, you wouldn't be taking the multiclass paragon path option.

Using his divine touch to close his own wounds, Shamash stands up and calls: "Stop the wolf! I fear he will bring enemy reinforcements!" Even as he calls out, however, the wolfrider wheels his mount and begins sprinting in the other direction, blood pouring from the many cuts and gouges in its...
