Actually by RAW I think your correct. By the CSR I spoke to, no, you can only move 2, period.

As a note, I belive Morrus's and everyone read of it follows the RAW better, but WOW that is worthless. An elf who could charge 18 will charge 18 because all the slowed effects are range 10 or less. So only in the lowest of circumstances does it ever come into play. It will be one of only 2...

Which just goes to show how consistant CSR are at WOTC. you got yes it just reduces your speed to 2 (worthless IMO BTW), and we (3 different people got) , no it is 2 move max, period.

Customer Service The last line (if your moving and are slowed and have moed more than 2, stop movement) was ruled by the Wizards CSR (from multiple people's calls, including myself) that you have a move of 2 and can only move 2 a turn max, between all your moves. Period. Thus you can not...

"I'd point fingers and laugh, but I'm sure you're simply making a straw man to defend the new system. Adding 1.5 on diagonals then rounding down is grade 1 math, and I doubt you're playing with people who are under 5 years old." I have a 5 year old boy who is extremely advanced in math, 1st in...

Fenes, a friend of mine said the exact same thing, he wanted more bang for the buck in 4th so he did a simple thing. At-Wills stay the same Encounter powers double their damage dice. Dailies triple their damage dice and add +1 to their AoE if they have it per tier. So it is 1W+Ability...

Interesting thread, I found most of it actually pretty civil and the rudeness calls a bit over zealous. People will respond to "I dis-like posts" with debate and discussion, especially when their view points are not as the OP's. I think the post itself was better focused as a blog entry if no...

Damage for both this and greenfire is not the issue, it is so little difference it makes little matter. It is the ability to tread so easily into multi-minion killing. Hit one, kill the rest. All ya need is one hit point damage. I would certainly not agree the damage difference is worth an...

A question I had some players ask may be something you can give insight into Logan. It was brought to my attention that all the other classes save the swordmage had a balance about them. Only wizards got bursts as at-wills, no-one got someone elses encounter power as an at-will, etc. Yet...

I've been using 18-20 crits with careful striek and sure strike. One of my players showed it was excellent match up this way. You use careful strike for very easy and very hard to hit creatures and twin for mid-range and they each perform a different function. Pretty each. See ya, Ken

Looking over the sowrdmage, it is a very effective replacement for both a fighter and a mage (for lots of AoE). is it too much more powerful too fast? I mean, why would anyone ever play a fighter over a swordmage? Challenges are awesome, batter or equal AC but in leather armor, attack damage...

Warlocks are different then other strikers. I would say the dwarven infernal lock in the party I DM is the best of them by far in combat. However it is not appearant on paper IMO. A lock pacts a enemy every turn. Thus in most combats the infernal locks get 4 temp hit points (assuming they...

Statistically careful strike does not hold a candle to twin strike. And why many say they should not be compared, having one ability completely surpassed by another of the same level and type is a bit irritating, hence the fix. Sure strike is less of an issue, but would anyone seriously take...

A buigbear/ minotuar can not use reach weapons such as the halberd in one hand correct? Or is it they do not have greatswords in one hand, but can use the next weapon size in damage from the weapon damage by size chart? Thanks, Ked

A revision of an earlier (read 1st addition race), I'm interested in people opinions on balance. RACIAL TRAITS Average Height: 6´ 10˝–7´2˝ Average Weight: 250-350 lb. Ability Scores: +2 Strength, +2 Constitution Size: Medium Speed: 6 squares Vision: Normal Languages: Choice of two from...

Actually my friend did a statistical analysis of the power as written with the 18-20 critical. I'm going to see if I can get it from him. In general, on average damage over time, even with high crit weapons, this fix is only slightly better than reaping strike at low relative (to level) ACs...

Hate diobolic curse, hate unneeded symetry. I'd give it a 3 for balance but a 1 for flavor (5 point scale). Really, really dislike eldritic chain! Allow the warlocks to have multi-target at-wills treads on the already thin territory of the wizards a lot. 1 for balance, 3 for flavor (like the...

Power is relative. If most people would still not take the power, then its likely not too powerful. Statistically, twin stirke is STILL better for total damage and for chance to hit and totally annilates a +4, which would never be used. You need to provide utility since twin strike can not be...

Have not had time to read the boards, but last time I was here, these were an issue. in my game I did the following: As per the PHB (+2 to hit otherwise basic attack without ability modifer to damage) with the following: Special: The strike criticals on a 18-20. I have seen people use this in...

Don't I feel like an idiot (and resemble one as well). That said, it seems odd that a 2nd level character starts with so much, but that's ok by me. See ya, Ken
