    LFR News or: How I learned to Stop Worrying and Play a Drow, Genasi, or Swordmage.

    If you start off with an Intelligence of 18, and later chooses the Demigod Epic Destiny, your AC will be exactly the SAME as the Paladin's, at lvl 30. 45 (not considering any feats, and no shields. Giving the Paladin one Shield, and giving the Swordmage a 1-handed sword will increase the AC by...

    FR Preview-Sword Mage and Genasi

    IIRC, they just ignore Miss effects, otherwise, any damage and they're gone. Just treat them as having both Evasion and Mettle. (and applying it to any sort of attack, and not just Close or Area attacks) @Fedifensor I don't know, maybe it's just me, but I'd rather just bump Int and Con every...

    Just thought about something. Swordmage Warding gives you a +3 AC bonus if you got one hand free, and +1 if you don't. What happens if I am using a Longsword, then attack wielding it 2-handed, and simply release one hand from it after the attack? I remember there was some sort of discussion...

    IMO, it's not really worth it to have the Heavy Blade feats, -Heavy Blade Opportunity will let you use Greenflame Blade instead of a regular Basic Attack when making an Op. Attack, not a big deal (all other at-wills either doesn't have the Weapon keyword, or in the case of Booming Blade, favors...

    Hum, I went ahead and looked out for some similar powers on the PHB, and I'm almost sure it does indeed prevent the attack altogether. Look at Evade the Blow (ranger utility 16). It also kicks in after the enemy has hit with the attack, and because you shift as an interrupt, target's hit is...

    4e Level 30 Magic Items. Who makes these things?

    Yeah, but firstly he'd need to find someone with enough money to exchange him his Astral Diamonds for Gold. Else I don't think he'd be able to.

    Ahh, I see what you're talking about now. Yeah, it works that way. (Short answer: Yes, any square adjacent. And yes, it's good with a reach weapon) Though, it's still alot better if you have Aegis of Shielding, and in that case, reach won't make any difference. I got a question about that...

    FR Preview-Sword Mage and Genasi

    They removed the Teleport Keyword from Aegis of Shielding. That means, basicly, you're using Transposing Lung at "Range 10", even though it's a "Melee Weapon" power, that's what they mean with "beyond your reach". Also, I don't think using a reach weaopn would make any difference. Finally I...

    Ok, this blows me up, I soo want to play one. Curiously, they removed the Keyword: Teleport from Aegis of Shielding Lightning Lure is now probably my favorite At-will. Also, Greenflame blade is some sort of Cleave on steroids... ..hum... still digesting it...

    Questions about Delay and Durations

    I got a couple questions that came up while playing. Even though the rules points me one way, it just doesn't feel right, so I'm gonna ask for the people here: 1) While playing that Dwarf Swordmage on a local event, we had an initiative order that looked like this: Ranger, Swordmage, "Enemy 1"...

    Least Favorite (Core) D&D Race

    Ok, I really don't want to be blamed to turn this thread yet into another WoW bashing thread, so I'll simply rephrase my first post in here: There, sounds better? My apologies.

    Least Favorite (Core) D&D Race

    Well, for starters, I didn't say D&D is not for mature people only, in fact, I don't know where you got that idea. (I myself started playing with 9). Also, I'm sorry if I offended you but nowhere I said that only 9 year old kids play WoW. Secondly, there's no possible way you can know for a...

    Dragonborn, hands down. I don't blame WotC though, they needed something to appeal to the 9 y/o kids coming from WoW. Sorry if it sounded a bit offensive but...

    New DCs for skills

    That makes sense. It doesn't really need to be +5. I guess we gotta wait for the math people to evaluate the new way, and see what's the best way to do it.

    New errata for core books, dated 7/2/2008

    Yeah, but you can still crawl. I'm just curious as to Shifting while prone, and it seems it's "no longer" possible.

    New DCs for skills

    Not to mention stuff like power and item bonuses. I think it's nice for someone to say that he wants to become an expert at something, and go for it. But when you can (easily) get to the point where further improvements becomes obsolete/trivial/redundant, then I think there's something wrong...

    New errata for core books, dated 7/2/2008

    I find it quite interesting... It's obvious that a character that devoted himself to be good at something will have a marginal chance of failure. The others are still pretty much capable at succeeding, even though, Failures are now set to 3, regardless of complexity. EDIT: I hope this is...

    Shield pushing

    Just because you're pushing an enemy away from you, it doesn't have to mean you're not pushing them away from your allies as well. This is very useful in lots of situations. Think about when you're fighting on a tight corridor and you're holding the line while your allies are all back. Pushing...

    What PC races are in your 4E group!

    Spread across 2 groups: Elf Eladrin Halfling Human Dwarf That, and I told them that I wouldn't allow Dragonborn if there's a Tiefling on the group, and vice versa (on my games Tiefling and Dragonborn are 2 sworn enemy races) I'm glad though no one decided to play either. Also, since no one...
