I don't remember the specific combo, and I'm not sure it would be applicable to your character in any case. However, some interesting synergy could come from Knockback Weapon (PHR: Dragonborn) or Halo of Isolation (Dragon 382).

I'm seeing people post that options have been stripped from all martial characters. They may mean that they feel like the current design direction could lead to the possible loss of some options for martial characters in the future, but that's not how what they've written reads. Hence my...

See, this is the closest I've seen to anyone saying that they want to take anything away from anyone. Can't give you more XP right now, but yeah, I'm starting to feel like "nothing is core" is much more the way to go.

Ya'know, I think I'm not reading into the posts in this thread what you're reading into them. I saw several people confused as to why they would publish what is essentially just material from the PHB1, repackaged. But that was about it.

OK, I'll take your word for it. But given that I can't say that I've actually seen one (or maybe I have and have just ignored them?) I'm hoping that they aren't likely to be seen as a popular mandate. In fact, WotC, if you're listening? If the idea behind classes like the Slayer and Scout...

The enemy moves into the square adjacent to you, the OA triggers, and then (assuming you hit) you push him one square. You don't negate or stop his movement with either of the two items you listed (HOW & HI), so he can continue with any remaining movement. IIRC I've seen a combo like this that...

That's a good point. House-rules are much harder to discuss on a level field when outside of your home group. And I think this is what's led to the very distinct impression I've gotten that in 4e, everything published is to be taken as "core", and limiting or banning anything is generally not a...

RMaLCotP? Internet Anagram Server : Anagrams for: rmalcotp (Incidentally, googling "anagram" suggests "Did you mean: nag a ram"... =/ )

See, I can get behind that. But I just don't understand some of the other stuff. OK, you see no healing, no conditions, and no dailies as boring and no fun. I don't but I also don't see anyone insisting on any of that. Yes, that's the way some of the HotFL / HotFK sub-classes work, and I've...

The monk uses any weapon she's proficient with as an implement, and there's no requirement that she have a hand free.

I'm not sure Paizo would want to buy D&D. I'm sure there are some who would argue, but I really feel like Pathfinder has a lot in common with D&D, especially earlier editions, to the point that they'd just end up competing with themselves. Although, the vast majority of players would probably...

I have always wanted to run a "dungeon"-long (could be an underground complex, a city, an eldritch fortress floating above the ammonia seas of a dead moon...) fight with a dragon. Um, excuse me, "Dragon". A catastrophic multi-stage running battle with the PCs having to run, jump, and anything...

A finger, perhaps? What was the character's name? A friend of mine played in a game where a... piece... of a dead, petrified character was carried around, half-forgotten, until the climax of the campaign. They finally remembered it when, in the process of re-creating the universe, they needed...

No, I mean the fighter sub-classes. Sure, there where a couple of neat things in Martial Power and MP2, if you really dug, but for my money HotFL is the best support the fighter has gotten since PHB1. Simple, retro, and not 4e. The three are not in any way exclusive, why can't I have all three...

What you're describing is really awesome, and I'd be down with running a game like that at some point, but it's not really 4e. And the players I play 4e with mostly want to play 4e, including everything that comes along with it. I'm pretty sure at least some of the people I play 4e with play 4e...

Well, they weren't actually removed, and as they are an "extra thing", I can understand them being left out (even if only for reasons of pagecount). I do enjoy rituals, but I could see possibly re-examining them at some point - at present they're a bit mother-may-I until you're a number of...

Well, I love the fighter, but that just makes me even more excited by the extra options essentials added. Man, what? If I want to play 1e I'll play it, but that doesn't scratch my "add some simplicity and retro-awesome to 4e" itch in any way shape or form. I don't see anyone forgetting previous...

Ah, ok. The version I got made no sense. (As in there was no joke that I could see, not as in I didn't think it was a reasonable change.)

I think it's misleading because "essentializing" doesn't even really mean anything.

I can't give you XP again so soon, but I vote you ArchOverlord of all D&D. Seriously - WotC, you need to implement this. NOW.
