If you want to be a reach 3 badass, just take a Sentinel with the Summer aspect, wield a Quarterstaff, take Staff Expertise, and then get to Paragon. Instant reach 3! :D

First off, great work. A very impressive start, can't wait to see more! :) Two things that would be useful, as sort of the same thing: email address (username) and password change options. If my email address changes, right now my only option is to re-register, which would cause me to lose my...

With respect, if you cared, you would try actually building up new ideas instead of just tearing down the existing ones. What you're doing is constructive to no one and only fosters animosity and dissension in the community. The last three threads you've contributed to have been this way; first...

Seconding Plane Above, it's a great read and really empowers you to make the Astral Sea an awesome place to adventure.

I have to ask, does it get tiring to be so negative all the time? :)

Ah, of course. Silly me, carry on :blush:

Wait a minute, why are we arguing Polearm Gamble anyway? PG = Make an OA on an enemy entering a square adjacent to you; they enter the square, you make the OA, they're at Melee 1. It works fine...?

The dragon symbols on the tool icons have been in an array of colors since last October at least (when I signed up for DDI).

Just make it a rangeless (or personal, maybe?) opportunity action, trigger: an enemy moves out of a square adjacent to you or makes a ranged/area attack (this line will then be overridden by the feats and threatening reach), effect: you make a melee basic attack against the triggering creature...

While I can agree with the sense that what is in the RC is buggered, it appears that the recognized data is not actually that Melee 1 abomination: http://www.wizards.com/dndinsider/compendium/glossary.aspx?id=331 In here it says nothing about range or that it's even a power; it states that...

blah, wrong thread ._.

If this were true, then monsters could not flank and then be flanked in line to any useful purpose. The only thing that may be in question is whether a dominated rogue considers the monsters on the field to be his allies for flanking purposes. But they can still get CA via the plethora of other...

For the most part, you can probably just roleplay the rite to achieve the result you want, there's not much mechanical detail to it. But if you want some mechanics to back you up... Nothing New for the New Year -- Previews for January and Beyond But yes, as noted, Warforged are accepted in...

The condition shake-off is a good idea, you can do the brutal thing if you want to speed up combat through some auto-damage with that, or do it like the new dragons do and give it the shake-off on its secondary initiative count if it is prevented from taking its attack during that turn because...

WotC hurt themselves with the delivery of skill challenges in the DMG; as a result, both sides of the table just don't really have a good grasp on them, so it makes them feel sloggish, obtuse, and unnecessary. A skill challenge is a roleplaying scene, full stop. You're presenting the players...

Stunned (SE) and Unconscious (SE) are both really dangerous for a 4th level party; there's simply not enough opportunities to invoke saving throws at those levels. Be very careful with them, perhaps consider changing the progression to dazed/dazed&slowed/stunned instead. Even that could get...

Fair enough; I guess I harbor a little bit of irk at the attitude some people take with Essentials (not that anyone in this thread was exhibiting that). :o I'd xp you but the gods apparently forbid it.

The mess is community-driven thanks to the (undue) scorn the products receive. The term is no different than "core rulebooks", yet it's looked at as a divergent and wholly unacceptable product. Essentials is 4e. As for one-shot adventures, check out sarahdarkmagic.com, I believe she has an...

I admittedly don't do controllers too often, so I'm sure I overlooked some possibilities. Good suggestions all around :)

You've changed Vecna's volume by transfiguring him into a Tiny frog, but you have done nothing to his mass. He is incredibly dense and will be very hard to move around, despite his size.
