I think Tieflings are a bit underrated due to their abilities, but, with them you can basicly offset a "bad" race/class combo, just like some other "bad" combos. For example, Dwarves offset the Str they don't get with Dwarven Weapon Training. Same with the Eladrin and their Eladrin Soldier...

This.

Thanks!! I guess it's now more than confirmed the "rumors" about the Avenger, and how it's definitely not the Mercykiller. Also "It also includes rules ofr divine domains", my hope is that ti's something similar to the multiclass feats (as shown on the gladiator article).

I agree with that, in fact, I'm not sure there's anything to agree there, it's pretty much a fact. That being said, I could see 2 possible ways for how an hybrid class could exist/work. The first one would be a class with "all-in-one" class features/at-wills which would obviously make the...

For some reason I think that Magic Items, Monsters, Traps and maybe even Races are way easier to playtest and fix than a whole Class. And that happens because you can basicly test them isolated from all the rest, you actually don't even need to play test them, just allow some of the min-max...

The thing is, the book (PHB II) will come out in march, and it'll probably go to print sooner than that (say, mid february, I honestly have no idea). We can't really playtest something if it's not going to be changed between now and the time they publish the book. The barbarian and the bard...

Except that there's a limit of action points you can use per encounter. ...And that's where that Epic Destiny (Warmaster IIRC) comes into play screwing it all up... I haven't seen the rest of the Horizon Walker, people usually only talk about that one feature, but if it wasn't for the combo...

There are two things people here are forgetting: -Longswords are versatile, rapiers are not (which won't make any difference if you use a weapon on the off-hand). (still 2.5 average damage behind). -Heavy blades can be enchanted with other kinds of properties... Vorpal, for instance can't be...

This. Except we're playing 4E.

Have you considered going Beastmaster instead? Then you could get one of the beast at-will attacks. Sure, that'd also mean losing the ability to wield two longswords or bastard swords or what have you and toughness... but, it's an option.

I started DMing H1 for my group, and after they finished it I asked honestly what did they think about it. Half the players were sort of indifferent, the other half didn't like it. I decided to start a campaign on FR (my first attempt at FR) without following any modules or such, and so far...

Not to mention that depending on the playstyle you're going, you won't necessarily need every possible beast attack there is. Take your at-wills as an example, if you're going with a bow you won't even need Circling Strike. Now, if you're a human, even better, one more option to choose (ie...

Not really, as of the last errata update, they changed it to a pull instead of shift.

I don't have the book yet, so I'm basicly going with what people are saying, but Ew, the bear sucks. He won't ever hit a thing (well, maybe other brutes, but that's all). But still the raptor can fly, and so you can use your Quarry through it, which is kind of a good thing (I know there's lots...

I think Prime Shot is way too much circunstancial. Most of the times it works is when you should be running and not standing... other rare times it'll trigger you won't even remember it exists. I've seen now several people playing archer rangers (and warlocks to some extent) and it's always...

I think you meant ally?

You could try and get your hands into some Gauntlets of the Ram.

Question: Ok, Invigorating stacks with other stuff, but does it stack with itself?

My players hates Controllers of all sorts. They already faced a TPK, basicly by the hands of an Orc Eye of Gruumsh (and several other stuff), which kept lowering their AC by 4 every turn (minor action too) making them easy targets for the other orcs.. Now, when they see a "mage" type sort of...

To me it's the same thing (which is indeed a good thing), except that in 4E it seems to be more "clear" what they represent.
