Call me crazy, but I don't see how Art, Chant, Gladness, Hope, Ideal, Music, Open, Poetry, Quest, Random, or Reverence are "emo" or "goth" names. I also don't see how it's much different from Warforged names. Warforged were called things like Axe, Sword, Soldier, Forge, Six, Iron, and so on.

Daggermaster doesn't say "attack with a dagger". It just says "You score critical hits with a dagger on a roll of 18-20". And, anyway, you ARE using the dagger to attack with - that's what an Implement is.

"Rest when they - or you - are dead."There's still visible kobolds, guys... Immeral's actions depend on the state of the battlefield by the time he gets around to acting. If the Slinger isn't dead yet, or the Slinger is dead but the Skirmisher is alive and visible, he'll Quarry it, Evasive...

You assume wrong. Psions will have the Psi power source. The PHB lists all 8 power sources (Martial, Arcane, Divine, Primal, Psi, Ki, Shadow, Elemental).

Paragon multiclassing isn't intended to be a "fair trade".

Yeah, Firestorm:Black Tentacles is debatable, but Astral Storm:Meteor Swarm is ludicrous. Especially when Astral Storm is easily expanded to burst 6 through the paragon increase-thunder-radius feat.

You can do Split the Tree at-will: it's called Twin Strike. Split the Tree just does more damage with a more limited target selection; call it "and Lady Luck smiled as both arrows buried themselves deep in the enemies' flesh".

I periodically and randomly get a "Closed for maintenance" notice in the main forum index. No matter how much I reload or force-reload the page, it won't go away; however, if I go straight to a bookmarked thread and then click the "ENWorld - Morrus' 4th Edition D&D / d20 News and Reviews Site"...

4E has a progression, too. At 1st level, you have 1 daily ability. At 5th, 2; at 9th, 3; at 20th, 4. Not counting Utility dailies, which could add anywhere from 0 to 7 more.

But you can never increase in the number of daily uses of Defensive Roll, so the point is still plenty valid.

If there is a willing adjacent ally, you must swap with him. If there isn't, the effect doesn't trigger but you still do damage.

Character optimization is far from dead. Actually, it's more prevalent, given the comparative quantity of material to work with. If you're just using the 3.5 PHB, DMG, and MM1, there's only a couple classes you can really do anything fancy with, and even then there's one or two clear paths to...

I voted "Indifferent, have played it", but that's not precisely how I feel. I love certain elements of the design - minions, easy encounter creation, the concept of skill challenges (if not the exact execution thereof), the general "say yes" emphasis, etc... But I also hate certain other...

It was cut because it's pointless. It exactly duplicates a fighter class ability.

It's extra damage, but not extra damage because it's a critical hit. The latter is the only type of damage not maximized.

Yeah, looks like it works RAW to me. It just says "with a dagger" and if your Pact Blade is a dagger and you use it as an implement, you are attacking with the dagger. RAI, I'm pretty sure it's only supposed to be for Weapon powers, not Weapon and Implement powers.

4 daily attack powers and 7 daily utility powers. It wouldn't work at all within the 4E framework. You'd have to do a significant re-design of the entire power system to get it to work. It's not worthwhile and, furthermore, it creates a lot of complexity in the game system while removing...

Correct. And you can't set the price as LESS than a healing surge, either, because fighters could abuse it with their multiple attack-for-big-damage-AND-heal-with-a-surge powers.

Well, let's put it this way: The absolute maximum number of healing surges available to a martial character is 23 (30 con dwarf fighter with durable and dwarven durability). Said character would have 219 hp and a surge value of 64. The absolute maximum number of daily powers available to such a...

What story? There really isn't very much story to KotS. Maybe a page or two of text scattered through 20+ encounters.
