All PHB1 classes are playable. Rangers still put out the most damage and Fighters still have a claim to be the best defender in the game and can get striker level damage. The monk has mobility over most other classes but has weak points as well and the rogue has (iirc) some pretty nifty at...

Not many. There may be a paragon path and I'm sure there's an epic destiny but I think that's about it.

If you use the Export Character option you can save them locally. I've exported a few characters and I think they might be in the 100-250 kB range (the level 30 ranger with a shopping fetish -20 different types of magical footware - was the largest).

If you love the game then I don't see why you'd stop supporting it because they aren't bringing out some products you might want. IMO it's simple, if WotC brings out a product you want buy it, if you don't want the products they're releasing then don't buy them. After all it's not like RPG...

Unless they're stances you should be fine to have a rage and guardian form up at the same time. As to a bonus to all defences equal to your str mod it _might_ just be acceptable for a round, it certainly wouldn't be as either a stance or just an encounter long effect. By epic level you're...

Monte Haul was more lots of loot with very little risk. So the GM wasn't challenging characters but was giving out lots of loot.

assuming a 50% chance to hit and ignoring crits and assuming 20 dex twin strike average damage = 0.25 * (2 * 5.5) + 0.5 * (5.5) + .75 * 3.5 = 11/4 + 2.75 + 2.525 = 2.75 + 2.75 + 2.525 = 8.075 nimble strike average damage = 0.5 * (5.5 + 5 + 3.5) = 7 so it's over 10% more damage per round at...

from http://www.wizards.com/dnd/files/UpdateCompiled.pdf "Dragon 366 Sacrifice to Caiphon, page 20 In the first sentence of the Benefit line, add “warlock” before “encounter power”."

It was errataed to only work with Warlock powers back in 2009.

Aegeri, I'm not sure what you're saying. A monster or PC only gets one opportunity attack per turn but that's per turn, not per round. So if 3 PCs act in 1 round and, say, use ranged attacks while adjacent to the dragon they will each take an opportunity attack. In most cases you only get 1...

A dagger can be thrown but can also be used as a melee weapon (largely for parrying in most combat styles that use one) a throwing knife is a knife designed to be thrown with very little functionality in melee combat.

The online builder has some issues. I haven't had any crash issues since I started using it (probably an advantage of being in a much different time zone from the USA) but there are some annoying bugs and lack of support for some things it probably should have (house rules, inherent bonuses, PC...

I'm not sure that you get a huge benefit out of having your con so high. You might be better off dropping it a couple of points and putting dex up, boosting AC and reflex.

Also depending on the fighter's feats and powers they might be able to disrupt the attack in other ways. Various items and feats allow pushing or sliding, knock the target prone etc. (Heavy Blade Opportunist and Tide of Iron or various spear/polearm tricks spring to mind as methods to do so)

if you're looking at modelling real world firearms it's extremely dependent upon when you're looking at as to what they do. Early guns were inaccurate, slow and low powered. A trained longbowman was far more dangerous, the advantage of guns was that they were easier to learn to use well enough...

You can't retrain a 1st level power to a 3rd level power, The most likely situation is that they've misunderstood the retraining rules but it's possible they've picked up a level 3 encounter power instead of a higher level encounter power. So check what other powers they have and see if that's...

It's not a replacement, it's an addition. I haven't had a huge look at essentials yet but I've got the first 'Heroes of...' and the second one and the Monster Vault are about to be shipped from Amazon. I see the Monster Vault as providing better monster designs than the original monster manual...

That's where the DC for the knowledge check comes in. If you've got specialised knowledge for an obscure, extinct cult then the DC will be much higher than knowing that the person waving around the sun holy symbol is probably a worshiper of <generic sun god #23> and as other people have stated...

I'm hoping that it deals with a lot of magic items better, my character has carried so many cheap ones that they don't all fit on the old character sheet.
