Well, a lot of the Defender's fun is in executing those marks. So don't get all metagamey and assume that the monster is going to conserve his HP at all costs, *you* know that the monster is going to lose, and what matters is that he does the most with his limited existance. So, if he has an...

I choose them based on the "Character's" build, which may or may not reflect the class benefit appended to the bottom of the power. For example, if I make a Warlock who likes to teleport, I may end up with a lot of Fey pact powers, which fits, but still take a few Star pact powers, even though...

My favorite martial Epic Destiny is the Dark Wanderer (I think its called). I will always suggest it. Sure, it won't break the minmax race, but it has a lot of flavor. Jay

Soulknife? Jay

What Rel said, and read the thread in the General Forum about his campaign, I do remember at one point his PC's in an airship being ambushed by pirates. http://www.enworld.org/forum/general-rpg-discussion/249793-running-commentary-rels-d-d-4th-edition-campaign.html Jay

If it is that much of a bug to you, what about downgrading unarmed damage to 1d3 or just plain str mod? Jay

Trying to model a quasi-european medival economy to determine whether the price of a bottomless keg of ale is worth the cost of magic armor to determine whether a game designer knows what he is talking about? Nerds! Really, I think his point might be getting lost in the arguments and the...

If it is a psionic class, I don't see why they can't use the Power Point mechanic that Psions have. Then, Mantles could be like Class abilities that alter at-wills in different ways. Perhaps your mantle allows you to augment with one more PP to change the damage type, or to exclude an ally...

Firstly, Half Elves were not awful pre PHB2. Secondly, PHB2 introduced Racial Paragon Paths, but Half Elves did not get one. Instead, they got a rad feat. Jay

I played in a similar scenario awhile back, but with airships (and 3.5, if it matters). I also played in an encounter vs a green dragon while we were in a boat. You will want to use a battlemat. Have the player's boat drawn out, and move the pirates or other attackers move relative to it...

Flaming Sphere? Over Sleep? Not everyone builds their character around the OMGoverpowered stuff. Some of us use themes other than that. Jay

It could work. . .but you'd have some weaknesses. Hybrid talent can net you the Pally's Plate armor or the Lay hands, so depending on your Wis modifier you could go either way. I think a lot of the Paladin's usefulness would be wasted in an arena battle, since the mark means nothing if they...

I'm not sure how I feel about taking the adventurers out of the story by having them command an army. I do like the idea of them having greater influence, and the *opportunity* to do so, but at some point the players should get to bash some heads, too. Maybe an enemy plot teleports some...

And normally you win D&D, but for bringing this contentious thread back to the front page, you merely break even. Sorry... Jay

We live and learn, man. Live and learn. Most of the 4e groups I've been in have been highly variable in size, from an 8-10 player group, down to small enough that a vacancy or two will cancel the session. Pacifist Healers certainly have their place, but as I'm learning, party makeup really...

Yeah. . .I don't get this derailing, since the subject of forced teleportation in the vertical plane has been covered, and is a clear rules abuse. This one feat introduces nothing new in that arena. It is handy for you if your party likes to do a lot of tactical movement or throw down...

Draco has the right idea. PC's have less hitpoints than NPC's, so a single target striker has the potential to kill a PC outright in the first round. May I suggest Initiative boosting feats as well, so you can get the drop on the toughest target, and AP and do the same to the next-toughest...

I stop paying attention for a few days and these are no longer General Forum appropriate? Having read the article, I was looking to comment. I guess this post will suffice, though my threads usually have such a short shelf life: Kind of odd to me, an article tailored to the Infernal Pact, and...

My first thought on reading Avenging Resolution was that for something like a glaive or spiked chain, it was pretty awesome. Even cool for 2d6 weapons, as you have just upped your minimum damage quite a bit there. Something like Arbiter of Justice tickles me, and I'd pick it up to find ways to...

20% of the cost could be the life of one in the circle of five casting the spell. . . 20% could be 20% of your surges for some extended period. . . 20% could be a tithe of 1/5 of your days in service to whatever power refomed the body. . . Like many open ended rules questions, this one can...
