There IS a Close Burst 1 in the power, but it's much less of an issue than you'd think. If you recall, all enemies are pulled adjacent to you (not pulled within your melee range), and if they can't be pulled adjacent to you (such as if there's an enemy in the way) they aren't moved at all...

So, what about this makes it a bad power? Just use it when you're not in melee. Or, better yet, if you're deep in melee, shift back and use it. It's probably a great power that could complement your build quite well. You just need to learn how to use it.

I'd first like to say I haven't read half of the posts in this thread because they're very long, drawn-out, and seem to be an argument over semantics between two individuals. That being said, I am playing a Fighter in my D&D group, with my focus on being very sticky and very defendery (to quote...

My group's first 4e campaign is going to be ending in a week or so (at 12th level- it's been going on weekly for about six months). There have only been two PC deaths the entire campaign, although there have been many, many, MANY close calls (just the last battle, for example, TWO PCs were in...

Hmm... any chance of finding a video log of these games? :-P

Hello, everyone! I recently relocated to Smyrna, Tennessee (about twenty minutes out of Nashville) and as such, I've no longer got a D&D group. I'm interested in playing 4e D&D (although I could be interested in a 3.5 game or Mutants and Masterminds game), and I'm looking for a group of mature...

Personally, when I first heard about the Monk, I was hoping for a melee controller.

If you don't mind me asking, exactly how many choices are there for such a feat? I don't recall any multiclasses off the top of my head (though I have little knowledge of anything beyond the PHB) that grant you an encounter attack power. Unless, of course, you mean allowing someone to turn...

Or a magical shield and non-magical bracers.

Oh! Awesome. That's exactly what I was looking for.

So, a +1 Distance Handaxe costs exactly the same as a +1 Handaxe. Both grant a +1 to attack and damage rolls, and 1d6 extra damage on a crit. Except one has double the range. And yet, once again, they cost exactly the same. Can someone enlighten me as to why this is allowed?

Wait, I'm sorry, what?

You hit the nail right on the head, in fact. My adventure is a bastardized version of the Fallen Angel Eberron adventrue from Dungeon 117. The temple was originally a floating golden tower, built by people so full of themselves and in love with their greed that they built this tower and filled...

Personally, in 3.5, I was all about describing my attacks different every time. I loved having the freedom to have my character do whatever the heck I could imagine, as long as it didn't change the mechanics. In 4e, however, I somehow find it hard to do so. I think it has to do with the fact...

Nice ideas, guys! I'm pretty sure I'll use the collection-plate idea, and the image of a heap of treasure on the other side of a pit gave me a great idea of a trap (I'll work it out and post it if I think it's any good). The temple I'm making has been long-abandoned, so it might be difficult to...

Well, the PCs are fairly low-level (at the moment, they're 3rd), so they don't have too many magic items, but I will keep that in mind. I know it may sound kind of counter-intuitive, but if it helps, think of it this way- this temple was made by people who were masters of their greed, and so...

So, I'm building a 4e adventure involving a temple dedicated to greed (you know, the deadly sin, greed). I was hoping to involve a lot of traps and encounters along the same theme, but I'm drawing some blanks. Can anyone suggest any monsters or traps that would make sense? For example, traps...

Let me just say that if D&D were being run by a computer, yes, it seems that you would be able to whore out the rules and stun/blind/whatever-lock someone by abusing the Ready and Delay actions. However, it's not. D&D is run by people, for people. No DM is going to allow you to let an effect...

This is what I do. You see, players who've played a lot of D&D know what trolls are. They just do. They know what they're capable of, they know their weakness, and they just know trolls. True, you can require the characters to make checks before they can act on this knowledge, but that's not...

You could suggest that he spend his standard action every round to go full defensive. He'd have the highest AC by 5 points, and he'd contribute to the battle just as much.
