    Double Weapons fixed?

    Eh, ignoring the whole Tempest angle, it really comes down to what you mean by "completely broken". Is it so terrible that the imbalance generated will be glaringly and painfully obvious at the table? Probably not. But double weapons provide one of the best exotic (excuse me, superior) weapons...

    Double Weapons fixed?

    According to a post on these very boards by WOTC_Logan, at one point in development the double sword differentiated which end belonged to which group, and even had different damage (I think). Some digging would probably turn it up. For the most part, I don't think double weapons are...

    Playtest: Primal Power

    You could always retrain your +X feat bonus Feat for the Tribal Feat your buddy wants to take, with no loss to you (maybe) as long as you're around him. Probably wouldn't be too hard, really. More generally, re: breaking the maths, I saw an idea on rpg.net yesterday suggesting that instituting...

    Playing Shadar-kai

    They remind me of the weapon mastery rules from 2E where you'd have to spend something like a half-dozen weapon proficiency "slots" to obtain mastery in the weapon (or something like that, we're talking close to a decade ago since I've looked at those ...) :)

    Playing Shadar-kai

    Why should weapon wielders get all the fun? I think it would be interesting to see some other short "meta-classes" introduced to reflect things like an emphasis on particular kinds of magic, or worship of particular deities. Heck, perhaps that will be what the Domains in Divine Power are like...

    Playtest: Primal Power

    I have no idea how Red Brick is going about creating a 4E version of ED, but these Tribal Feats provide a good way to demonstrate the ability of PCs in ED to bond to each other as a group, providing mechanical benefits to each other when they are near. Just something that leapt out at me. The...

    Rating the 4e conditions

    Well I'll be. Thanks for the quick response!

    Rating the 4e conditions

    Really? I've never seen that rule re: Prone in Flight. Can you provide a source (I'm interested to know, something similar came up last night; Prone in Water) Thanks!

    Dungeon 163: Beyond the Mottled Tower

    This an awesome idea. I've been keeping an eye out for any suggestions from other DMs further into the path than me on ways to streamline/enhance the plot but it is frustratingly hit-or-miss. Advice on sticking to the recommended wealth guidelines would be a major boon as well. Anyone have some...

    To split or not to split

    This is slightly off-topic, but in a similar conversation on another message board a poster asked if you HAD to take the extra attack with the Fighter's Passing Attack if no enemies were about (ie, if you Passing Attacked and dropped a guy, do you then have to make your Secondary Attack into...

    This is what Martial Power looks like

    Hehe, awesome vids everyone. Keep them coming if you have something that fits. :) As far as embedding goes, as near as I can tell, any link to Youtube automatically embeds. Everything else is pretty much on its own I'm afraid. Thanks again. :)

    Monster Synergies, and the craziness that can follow...

    Wow, awesome idea. XP for you! :) Anyone know where we are supposed to report Compendium errors? Please tell me they at least have a location to centralize the process? :confused:

    This is what Martial Power looks like

    Yes, to be clear the first vid I posted has some editing. People who practice parkour, on the other hand, are really just badasses. YouTube - Parkour and FreeRunning Thanks for reminding me about the practice Kinneus; I've always found it quite amazing. Also, Jackie Chan could totally wipe...

    This is what Martial Power looks like

    When I saw this video, after a small bit of mourning at the effects of my sedentary lifestyle on my physique, I thought now THIS is what a Martially Powered individual looks like. What do you guys think? Anyone else have some movies of a good example of some Martial Exploits? Martially Powered...

    Does Vulnerable overwrite or stack with Resistance?

    Simple question, illustrated using a scenario: If I'm fighting a creature with Resist Fire 10, and then whack him with a power that gives Vulnerability Fire 5, how does this creature now interact with Fire damage? Does it take 10 less Fire damage (Vulnerability does nothing because it is...

    Character Builder is Live

    Check the retraining section of the builder to utilize your power swap feats. I just checked to make sure and that is where I swapped out my Warlock/Cleric's level 6 Shroud of Black Steel for a level 6 Bastion of Health.

    Character Builder is Live

    Using a macbook and Parallels it works fine (as long as you turn off Parallels hardware video acceleration, which is crap anyway ...) I've already statted up my character, and didn't notice any problems. I've begun playing with the layout for his character sheet ... I like although I wish I...

    Character Builder is Live

    Yes, my Warlock's Bracers were included in the total for his Eldritch Blast. I'd imagine the same fix was applied for Magic Missile, although I can't verify ...

    Is DDI going to be retro?

    There was some talk about this when DDI first came out. At first there were plans on removing the older magazines from the site and requiring you to pay/ask to receive a copy, but since that system wasn't sorted out yet, they decided to just leave them up. If you have DDI access you can read...

    Sagiro's Story Hour: The FINAL Adventures of Abernathy's Company (FINISHED 7/3/14)

    I don't think he "became" a god of cats at any point. Cats were just always weird about him, and when Pewter asked they said he was a god. The party has been wondering about that for a while, I think. 'Course, I could be absolutely wrong as well. I'm generally pretty bad retaining those kinds...
