I think it is going to be a Defender as I think it makes more sense... but I don't like barbarians that much so it'll be cool if they surprise me with something different. EDIT: So, like 10 more minutes till we find out, right?

Even though the rest seems right, I wouldn't be so sure about this. The "punishment damage" as you named it is not coming from the weapon. I'm not sure, but it just seem fixed damage. The Weapon keyword is already being factored into the 1[W] + Int damage.

That's actually an interesting question. There's no attack roll involved on the second damage. It's fixed just like Booming Blade (Swordmage at-will). Even though Giogre's argument sounds reasonable, it's not when you take into consider multiple attack powers like fireball, or even for the...

To me, a role-playing game doesn't necessarily need any of those.

On "my" attempt of making an Arcane Archer I used something like this: Imbue Arrows (16th level)): When using a close arcane attack power, you can choose to change it into an area attack using your bow's range as the range for the attack providing you are wielding a bow. Additionally you...

I think it's more likely that it's going to be a Paragon Path presented on Arcane Power (coming up april 2009). The Swordmage fills a much needed gap, that of an arcane defender, whereas the Arcane Archer doesn't. Not to mention the popularity factor.

I'd probably give the same exp as of a minion of the same level. In this case 25.

I'll do the inverse, first what I hate then what I love about it HATE It's too much combat oriented. LOVE Combat is so much fun.

Hum, that's how we thought it would be, and that's how we're using it so far. I guess I just wanted to be sure. Thanks.

...compared to other strikers? Most likely. Compared to classes from the other roles? Definitely not true. I don't think you can even compare.

How does Vulnerability interacts with Weakened (or insubstancial for that matter)? For example, I use Turn Undead on some undead (vulnerable radiant 5) while I'm Weakened, do I: -Calculate damage as normal, apply Weakened (1/2 damage) and finally add 5 -Calculate damage adding 5, and then...

From my experience (at least with my groups), players will save their dailies for the tough fights. If you throw at them tough fights they will spend their dailies and probably will want to rest afterwards. So, the question is really up to the DM. If you want the "short adventuring day" to...

I think you got your answer right there. Don't get me wrong, I had the same feeling when I first read the books, now, I come to think about it you have as much to do outside combat as you had before (if not more). Stalker already gave the example of the Rogue. Now think about the Fighter. (I...

Well, with the introduction of Adventurer's Vault it becomes a bit more complicated to make that assumption, as another option for +6 leather shows up (Swordwing) on that book. I have absolutely no problem with it being a "fluff mechanic".

I'm hoping for weapon-specific encounter powers (and dailies too if possible) for all levels, and not just 3-13-23 (Obviously, I'm talking about the fighter). Paragon Paths covering the other weapons, and not just swords... The idea of a backline Warlord does sound pretty neat. I remeber...

Damn you Wayne Reynolds! EDIT: From what's being a common place as of lately (or not), most covers they place on their own site is usually a placeholder so I wouldn't be surprised if some of those covers changes...

My guess is that it's going to bew the first article from october, and should come ...eh... this friday (oct 3rd)... or next monday. He's going to be a Defender with a touch of Striker, so that we have it like this: Fighter > "True" Defender Paladin > Defender (Leader) Swordmage > Defender...

Yeah, just consider the Half-elf They can get feats from both humans and elves alike. Any given feat that has the "Elven Accuracy" ability as pre-requisite is not a choice for them. The same thing will happen when lets say, a Half-drow race shows up.

Yeah, my first thought would be to make the change the poison gas into necrotic then, not that hard to re-flavor, and mechanics-wise it's still the same as undead are resistent to necrotic. That's the reason I suggested the regular zombies as they have the grab attack, which would make things...

I'll try to throw in some ideas that might help you... or not. Maybe you could use some pillars that looks like some totem thingies with some scary faces on it. They'd throw in blasts of poison gas through their mouths (Close blast 3; +X vs. Fort; dealing poison damage and possibly ongoing...
