You forgot Loony.

Hasn't it been nerfed in the last errata?

It's a pretty good idea to have something you can do at range in case you come up against flying creatures or people you can't get to immediately Javelins are cheap so if you pick a couple up at the start

Javelins, buy a couple and then later buy a +1 one so it returns. They're heavy thrown so it's a str attack. Generally you're better off moving to engage an enemy than attacking at range You're always going to have the problem of changing weapons as a board and sword character but at least with...

As a basic comment I'd say think less about what class you want and more about what you want the character to do. If you're up on the 4th ed concept of roles the big question is whether you want to be a striker or a defender. If you want to be a striker wielding 2 weapons and a bow then a...

I'm not up with all the classes powers. Rangers have very few non-ac targeting powers, The earliest one seems to be the errata'd Shadow Wasp Strike which is level 3 iirc. Then there are a few at level 7, most of which are limited to 1 build or another. So at best you have 2 of them in heroic...

Considering how bad it is finding anything on the Wizards web site I'm down firmly on the side of wanting the character builder to stay as it is on the whole. Saying that if it's been designed sensibly it should be possible to have a web interface on the Wizards site as well.

There are a couple of factors here a) You're getting confused between 'terms of art' and the general meanings of words if a word in D&D has a game definition it doesn't mean anything more or less than that in the game. The Immobilised condition doesn't do anything more than the condition...

Daredevil has radar sense and other enhanced senses which means that he's got very little reduction in ability (and in some ways he's well ahead). If you give that level of ability out to a character for free then it's completely playable but you aren't really playing a blind person anymore.

My guess is that they don't want to publically commit to a date yet in case they discover problems with it in testing and have to move it again. They'll probably put the date in when they're sure that they can hit it.

A quick look at the page suggests that the .Net runtimes don't work reliably for Crossover so it seems very unlikely to help run the character builder.

Generally I try and pick a character late in the party development so that we have all the roles filled reasonably well. I'll commonly figure out characters for each role before making a decision and I reasonably commonly have a couple of different strikers for ranged or melee sitting around as...

Just remember that if you go for the longspear now you do drop AC and Reflex so it's a trade off.

You've got a great way of losing players setup there.

Um, the Brutal reroll is only on the damage roll for the weapon, not the attack roll. So you don't hit any more with a Brutal weapon. If you want a better chance to hit you're better off going for a +3 profieciency weapon.

One approach might be to use Dragonborn as the base race and pick the Scion of Arkhosia paragon path. That gives you Dragonbreath for some ranged attacks, wings giving both overland flight and standard flight. Opt for the Monk to give you the hand to hand ability and you should be pretty...

Stormwarden and Scimitar Dance give you a reasonable payoff for pumping dex. You only need 13 con to get scale proficiency (admittedly it does take a couple of feats) 15 dex needed for scale specialisation but if you're willing to wait until epic for it then you only need a 13 in it initially as...

It matters a great deal in terms of allowing a character to contribute. If a fighter can't take attacks because they all hit (having 8 int and 10 dex) and can't do damage then they aren't contributing in combat and they certainly aren't fulfilling their role. That's a great way to frustrate...

or is a new player or has tried things before and been shut down... which is highly dependent upon the GM style and the rules are in the DMG a) that assumes that you know you're going to be without gear when you design the character. b) There aren't many Ranger powers that attack anything...

The big issue for rogues is that mostly they want combat advantage so they go for flanking positions which often leave them isolated (they are helped a lot by other party members having forced movement so that they can control where the opposition ends up) A two weapon ranger can have issues...
