Now, getting bonus damage versus Cursed targets is something else completely...

Hmmmmm. You gotta be a Martial class to MC with Spiked Chain. You need to be a Warden to get the +reach Form. So, only a Goliath Bard can pull it off?

Or go Dwarf so he can at least Second Wind as a Minor and still get the +2 to Defenses, 1/Encounter at least.

Didn't even know there was a survey until the results were posted :( For future surveys, where are they usually posted?

Random trivia: They still make playing cards, just to follow tradition. Plenty conservative, as you say.

One of the familiars from the Dragon article can do it, so I'm guessing it's a particular benefit, not a general one. Perhaps being active is just for scouting and the like?

Great, now you ruined it for me! *reports for spoilers*

Quick look at my level 1 Dragonborn Paladin's power cards (courtesy of the Char Builder): At-will: Divine Challenge Valiant Strike Holy Strike Encounter: Dragon Breath Channel Divinity: Divine Mettle, Divine Strength Piercing Smite Divine Bolts (Invoker Multiclass) Second Wind Daily...

Lessee, the conditions were: a) If you're replying to a single person b) do not welcome input from others So, as long as he either wasn't replying to you OR does welcome input from anyone else, I don't see how he's not following his own advice.

No grind here, but then again, the only game I've been was when I ran KotSf for a group of a Strength Paladin, an Archer Ranger and an Artful Rogue. So, yeah, quite heavy on the smack.

I think it'd be a good idea to do so. Some powers may be better suited for certain builds, so you may want to take a lower ranked power if the disadvantages don't mean much to you.

Well... I can see the line of reasoning: A +5 (implement) staff can be used as a +5 (weapon) quarterstaff A +5 (weapon) quarterstaff can not be used as a +5 (implement) staff. Just because A can function as B, it doesn't mean that B has to function as A as well. This would allow a Wizard...

Happens to me as well. No idea why, too.

Ouch. Quite a hit, compared to a Greataxe. Thanks!

Could you run it for a Falchion-wielding Avenger, please? I'm quite sure he won't make it anywhere near the top, but I want to see how much of a difference it makes.

It was suicidal. But I managed to survive the encounter above bloodied, thanks to the Bard's Majestic Word and that class ability that grants temp HP when you kill an enemy. Was getting 9 THP per kill, IIRC. It also helped that they were mostly minions, 2 hits would just go to the THP buffer...

Retribution one here. In a small party (3 chars) with no defender, I was getting hit 3 or 4 times per turn. With 18 Int (Deva), I was making a lot of OHKOs.

I've always had bad luck with dice. So, I started tracking up my rolls in an Excel sheet. Currently, I'm at 6.6 average, standard deviation 3.2. What does that mean? That roughly 75% of my rolls have been below 10! Oh, and let's not forget that BESM (d6s, for those who don't play it) game where...

....Vandread?

I'd like to chip in with a small note: There's a difference between telling a player "There's a reason, but I can't tell you 'cos it'd ruin the campaign" and "No, you just can't." Using the elves in the example, a friend of mine runs a campaign where elves are almost extinct. All his games have...
