    So, about defenses aka. PHB2 defenses feats

    16/14/14? For a wizard? Lame. Sounds made-up to support an argument. So I put 16 int/16 wis/14 dex, progressing to 24/20/20, and that somehow fixes my defense problem at epic levels? No.

    PHB 2 power creep

    How is it any less lucky than a double-critting ranger? 2 attacks per round with an at-will? What abilities recharge every 2 encounters?

    PHB 2 power creep

    So a level 9 ranger with 2 crits and an action point can outdamage a level 5 barbarian with 1 crit and an action point? Nice argument... At even 7th level I could have stacked another 3d12 + 7 minimum on top of that as an immediate interrput. If I got a 2nd crit, my damage would also soar near...

    PHB 2 power creep

    I did 134 damage in one round with my barbarian today, killing one level 6 monster and bloodying a second. I'm level 5. I'll break it down, since I figure someone will ask: Walk up, Frost Wolf Rage. Enemy takes the basic attack. It misses. I crit for 55 + 1d12 + 2d6 = 71 with my +2 fullblade...

    Anyone else not feel "the grind"

    I figured I'd get a response like that, and almost preempted it, but thought that would be rude. If he's only happy when he has 10x more options in combat than anyone else, it's time to look at the player, and not the system. What did you call that back when we were arguing about Shield, KD...

    Anyone else not feel "the grind"

    Aww, poor guy. Did you tell him that he can learn rituals and suddenly have 10x the options of any other character?

    Ryan Dancey - D&D in a Death Spiral

    He also works for White Wolf, which is basically D&D's biggest competitor for largest tabletop game franchise. Anything negative Dancey says about D&D can only benefit his company. He's certainly not losing anything by convincing people that OMG DND IS DYING LOL

    Defeating my powergamer Glave master

    And if you were a warden, you could mark everything that survived as a free action. ;)

    What makes a good sorcerer?

    And if you look carefully you'll notice that the damage roll on a miss is "1d10." It's not "1d10 + Charisma modifier (like every single other power in the entire book)," it's "1d10". You get your nifty sorcerer damage bonus, your magic item bonus, and any feat bonus, but you don't get your...

    Defeating my powergamer Glave master

    Time to unsubscribe when people start claiming there's "no such thing" as rounds to support their arguments...

    What makes a good sorcerer?

    You're right. Prismatic Orb, Prismatic Explosion, and Prismatic Storm actually deal less than half damage on a miss. Good catch, thanks for the support. ;)

    What's an expertise feat, and what's the big fight about?

    Do wizards suck? / multiple attacks

    This is actually pretty simple. If you think the wizard sucks, what you actually want to play is a warlock or sorcerer; or perhaps a fighter or paladin, if you're really confused.

    What makes a good sorcerer?

    Yeah...that's pretty much gonna get errata. Every other power I can think of that has a similar design is: Hit: 2dX+X, ongoing 5 Miss: Half damage, no ongoing

    Defeating my powergamer Glave master

    How about a powerful elite or solo striker that the fighter can't reach, and a horde of minions and lesser evils swarming the party? Glaive man can do his thing and keep the lamers at bay while the rest of the party attacks the otherwise-inaccessible artillery platform from afar.

    Bard does not suck!

    No, puns so bad that they die. Like from Arnold movies in the 80's. (referring to a guy that got cut in half with a chainsaw) Where's Buzzsaw? He had to split...
