    Quick Question

    Actually I'm a 30th level dragonborn with a glabrezu pet. Not relevant. This is impossible.

    Quick Question

    So my Glabrezu has a Standard, Move, and Minor action. Does that mean he can toss 3 abyssal bolts in one round? I seem to remember powers specifically stating if they can only be used X number of times per round.

    The greatest of stars: Wizard

    Yeah...wizards don't do even close to the amount of damage that strikers deal. Archim the ranger is working with 8-22 damage with an at-will; Elincia the rogue is packing 13-32 with combat advantage; poor Gebble could deal as much as 7-13, but he didn't pick magic missile. He has to settle for...

    Is Stealth the new Grapple?

    Not really. This only clarifies that rogues were designed to deal a lot of damage. It doesn't say anything about everyone rolling Stealth every single time they're in cover just so they can become hidden and gain the defensive benefits of being unseen. Do you really think there would be...

    Concept Feat: Divine Archer

    Untrue. "All it does" is allow paladins and clerics to use melee powers at range, in addition to allowing dexterity not to replace, but exist alongside their main physical attack stat. Well, it's necessary (at least as much as the feat Divine Archer) for several concepts I know of. My feat...

    Concept Feat: Divine Archer

    It seems very overpowered to me. Why not make a feat like this for wizards to use Con, and let warlocks freely cherry pick all their best powers to their main stat at the cost of one feat? If you want a bow-using paladin I'd pick ranger and multiclass paladin, or vice versa. Get a good Cha stat...

    "Looks like we're going to win this battle . . . in about 90 minutes from now."

    Actually, that combination is super broken and I thank God every time I play 4e that it's no longer available. Invalidating all enemy casters, coming up!

    Damage Per Round

    Gotta love that we're comparing a bugbear ranger with a level 7 fighter power and the scimitar dance feat to a generic warlock with a level 3 area power using it on a single target. :hmm:

    Developer Talk = Gospel?

    You know, I just can't let this one go. This is an extreme example, but if someone commits murder 2 counties over, I'm not going to ignore that they did it when they come to my neighborhood and want to be friends. Especially with a level of condescend and sarcasm that increases at a per-post...

    Can you wield two implements?

    You know what? If it's good enough for Gandalf, it's good enough for my campaign. This discussion is over.

    DMG Intro Adventure - Big Spoiler!

    Flew up where? If he's close enough to attack with a reach 2, any fighter worth his salt could jump up and smack him with a weapon. Plus, you can ready an action to attack the dragon when he attacks you. I mean, he's biting you, right? That means he's thrusting his own face toward you. If...

    Can you wield two implements?

    Show me the rules quote where it says I have to hold a staff in two hands to benefit from it as an implement.

    Hand Crossbow vs. Sling

    From what I've seen, the point of the sling is to allow 1st-level characters to buy a ranged weapon if they only have 5 gold left from spending on other, more important items. After that, the hand crossbow is generally superior, because of previously mentioned points. If you think those points...

    Stealth in Combat

    But it's not just denying sneak attacks. It's denying every single character and monster the chance to get +5 to all defenses and turn invisible because they are standing in a bush or behind a corner.

    Why is Firestorm the best 19th level control spell?

    Not very. You're standing in a firestorm that doesn't hurt you. As long as enemies remain in the firestorm, it is worthwhile to stand in it without moving. If they leave the firestorm, you stop sustaining your power. It's really simple. Laser clerics are awesome. If you need to shift so badly...

    Why is Firestorm the best 19th level control spell?

    You use your move action for a minor and do both?

    Developer Talk = Gospel?

    And when you play a one-, two-, or three-shot campaign, that "balance" you speak of doesn't mean diddly. Wizards are more powerful because they can change the world without a weapon. Fighters are powerful because they can change the world with their weapon. All PCs should be equally cool. "Super...

    Are ELADRIN attribute bonuses the MOST USELESS?

    Not really on topic, but when my players try this, they just roll like crap and get mad at 4e, then the boss kicks them into the dirt.

    Developer Talk = Gospel?

    Yeah...even as early as 7th level I was polymorphing myself and my familiar into trolls and just ripping everything apart in melee. The barbarian was like "why am I even here?"

    Does anyone actually like Dragonborn and Tieflings?

    And I think he's full of it. There isn't a poster on EnWorld that I more consistently disagree with. Change for the sake of change? What about complaining for the sake of complaining? Cool, most people don't, you're in the minority here. A proud warrior race isn't the same thing as a...
