If you plan on creating the majority of your maps ahead of time, I greatly recommend transparencies in conjunction with a battlemat. Get some transparencies (most easily made by taking some clear plastic sheet covers, or just any flexible clear plastic, and cutting it into single-page-sized...

I have to say, that is an uber-badass character concept. Mind if I gank it?

I started this in another thread a couple days ago, but I figured it'd get more attention in its own thread. This feat seems nice, but there's a serious problem here that I see that seems to have gone unnoticed. This feat actually makes it easier to flank someone at range than it is to flank...

I'm fairly certain it stands for Multiple Ability Dependance. Yes, I also hate when a community suddenly adopts one or several acronyms. It's incredibly annoying for anyone who didn't happen to be there the day they were adopted.

Also, most powers that use implements are ranged, which is less dangerous than melee.

Also, the vast majority of the fighter's stickiness only works within melee range. Sure, you can give everyone a -2 to attack anyone who isn't you, the main reason people attack fighters is because there's also the threat of being pushed, given additional penalties, and so on which only occur if...

There's a problem with this feat that nobody seems to be noticing yet: It makes it easier to flank with a ranged weapon than with a melee weapon. Now, I understand the feat. You can't actually flank at range with this feat- but you DO gain combat advantage against a flanked foe, no matter where...

I'm sure the ones that give your DR or Regeneration would be useful when unconscious.

That's exactly why I'm taking it. I haven't played too much 4e, but in the little experience I have, I've seen that I can make my marks awesome, and any turn where I don't mark an enemy can turn real bad. So being able to mark an opponent on a turn where I otherwise couldn't (like when using...

As of right now (since the game is tomorrow), I'm going to take Create Opening, since that seems to fit my play style a little better. If I end up not liking it, I'm sure the DM won't mind me switching it out for something else.

So, I just started up a fighter in my first 4e game, and I'm absolutely loving it. I'm going for a maximum stickiness build (with some help from some online guides, mainly those found on WotC's optimization boards). Anyway, I've gotten to second level, and I need to choose my utility power. I've...

It's suppose to be decided before you make the attack roll. Some DMs may play it otherwise, but none that I've met.

Wait a minute... why is she getting +2 damage from weapon focus?

Wait a moment, I'm confused. What's so horribly broken about Veteran's Armor? You spend an action point, and it grants you a +1 to everything until the end of your next turn. Sure, it's good, but how many action points are you blowing through each encounter?

Anyone know of a good encounter generator for 4e? I'm fairly new to 4e (haven't played more than two or three sessions of it), and I want to just run a few encounters for a few of my players. Anyone know of a good encounter generator? Preferably one that generates a location as well as enemies?

As others have said, this feat is FAR from useless. There are people (myself included) who practically build their entire character around Combat Challenge, and this is one of the foundations of such a build.

Hmm, I wouldn't at all call it "abusing", but that's not what it was intended for. The thing that bothers me about hearing stories like this is that 4e is a different game- completely different. If you try to play 4e like it was 3.6, you'll only be disappointed. When something is different in...

This is exactly what I'm looking for. Someone who's got experience with dealing with both types of fighter- in exactly the same situation. As this DM said, and as I'm sure many others would see in his situation, two identical fighters (except one with BRV and one with Weapon Talent) end up far...

Ah, gotcha, gotcha. Thanks for the help, everyone!

Well, the reason I asked is because certain things don't count as marks- that is, certain things stack. A fighter can mark a target, and it can still be Quarried by a Ranger or Cursed by a Warlock, for example. I don't think that a Fighter and Swordmage's marks stack, but my only reasoning is...
