I'm looking for an online 4e game (maptools, the new d&di virtual tabletop, etc.) that I can play in on weeknights. I live on the east coast of the US so something in the range of 7-11pm EST would be great. M-Th work best. I have plenty of character ideas for each role and power source and I am...

It would be pretty cool if there were powers and features associated with each domain and then a god associated with 3-4 domains. Worshiping a god would let you select from the powers and features of the associated domains. So if you worship Corellon, you get a choice of prayers from the Arcana...

I hold out hope for the big December errata. There is a good chance we'll see something addressing MBAs and RBAs for classes like the Battlemind. Mearls promised to work on that one in a reply on this board a year ago, and it is one of the issues delivered to the designers back when they...

Heroic Effort (and the Half-elf's alternate racial ability) was introduced in the essentials books because some essentials classes (e.g. the thief) don't get at-will attack powers and that would leave humans in essentials classes with a useless racial ability.

I think Dragon Sin-Camealot is a pretty cool guy. eh kills aleins and doesn’t afraid of anything…

Pixies may be like Shades and Vyrloka and receive optional racial utility powers. If so, I'm guessing the level 10 or level 16 utility option is at-will, move action flight with no altitude restriction and with flavor text like "Your growing power has offered true mastery over flight."

But there is a shortage of adventures that do combats and puzzles and exploration right! Especially at the paragon and epic tier. Why focus on new outlandish plots when the fundamentals haven't been covered? Ah well, thanks for sharing. If I can't get my adventure fix from Dungeon I am glad...

Rats. But relatively easy to update the monsters, no?

Heroic sacrifice or other "epic" death scenes show that the effort a player put into the game and the story is not wasted or canceled should a character die. What you have to avoid is the unlucky, seemingly senseless death that pops up randomly in a throw away encounter because of a confluence...

If you go this route, I highly suggest picking up the Beast Protector feat (you can make an opportunity attack when an enemy attacks your companion) and then go with the sharp-shooter paragon path (you can make a ranged basic attack as an opportunity attack). This will let you place your hawk...

Actually Sune has an associated paragon path called, "Heartwarder" that is very good for paladins. Also check out the Divine feats: Power of Love and Loving Sacrifice (though the former isn't very good). You might also want to check out the very good paladin guide over on the wotc boards...

Also note that this theme will give you added power with no drawbacks. Talk to your DM and the other players to see if they are ok with this.

Yes! Take the Pack Outcast theme from the new Neverwinter Campaign Setting. You get the ability to turn into a wolf as your starting feature, and you can turn into a full wolf/man hybrid starting at level 10. You technically can't take the theme unless you are human, but there is no game balance...

I loved the Incarnate and the Totemist (build your own monster!). The Soulborn was unfortunately terrible as were other classes built on the paladin chassis (divine mind!). I'd love to see an update but I am not sure how'd they'd go about doing it.

An orb is like a small bowling ball. I am pretty sure you can clock someone over the head with one and make an impact. It is a two-handed weapon.

Nope. They released a Dragon article in July with a bunch of feats that patch damage and let you transfer shrouds if your target happens to die before you get to invoke them. It's the standard feat tax approach. I'd give most of them for free to a player trying to build an assassin; he'd need...

1. Amnesty for all prisoners. A crusade to end slavery. 2. An order of monks that have, through years of meditation and training, discovered a way to become immune to pain and wish to share the secret with everyone. 3. Worship and attempted revival of the primordial that maimed him. 4. The...

Most likely the same way that praying mantises do: they sneak around back and hope not to be noticed. Then they die. The number of male Medusa statues in a female Medusa's layer is a measure of her hotness. Some of the less attractive ones probably pay interior decorators to help them fake it...

True, but if you actually want to have interesting and productive conversations, there are certain styles that work better than others. Look at how Delericho posts. Now ask yourself why his threads, which are often critical of 4e, don't devolve into name calling and personal attacks. At best...

I think everyone agrees with this in abstract. So there isn't much more to say other than accusing people of doing it. Would you like to talk about the psychology behind such stances? Statistics on the likelihood of seeing ad hominem attacks? What? You aren't giving people much to work with in...
