I just want to correct a small math error presented here. Monster XP (and hence your XP budget) for the first few levels looks like this (use the "standard" column of the XP chart printed in the DMG to determine the "value" of each PC): 1 100 2 125 3 150 4 175 5 200 So for the normal...

Your comments made me think of something. My Fighter player is a min/maxer of the most annoying kind. I fully expect him to try and use one of those at-wills that fighters get that says "Special: Can be used in place of a melee basic attack", THEN try to add the stance on top of it.

Here's something fun to think about mkill...a friend of mine (who is a 4e DM - I have my own group, but sometimes I can get free of the wife and play in his game) made the assertion last week to me and at his game that the reason for "Essentials" is that WotC made a huge blunder and now they're...

There needs to be some limitation on being able to take a full move and attack with a single standard action. That limitation is that your turn ends (barring spending an action point). Or do you want to break charge builds.... I charge.... I move away... I charge again...

I was trying to keep with your idea of "Triggered Actions" while also maintaining that SOME triggered actions still need that 1/round limit. Either that or you need to get rid of any attack other than OA that is triggered. Perhaps a better idea is to model Triggered actions around OA. Limit...

@mkill: This sounds like a good idea, but I think you'll need to rework something like this: SNEAK ATTACK (5th edition) Rogue Class Feature Per Round Triggered Reaction Action Type: Free Trigger: You hit an enemy with an attack while you have combat advantage against that enemy. Required: You...

You're assuming that the "choice" stat is a secondary. Who's to say a race's "fixed" +2 isn't a bonus to some class' secondary stat and between the two "choice" stats one of them is the primary of the given/selected class. Non-Human races now have 3 of 6 stats covered for "primary" making...

Changeling Trick grants you an ability. The Bluff skill grants you an ability. To say that use of one ability also uses up the other ability would be a DM levied nerf. You clearly have two ways per encounter to be granted combat advantage. Now as to how they work together. Skilled Feint...

An excellent episode IMO.

Personally I think Rangers always should have been a DEX class. That way they could have been the "Dex Fighter" build all along with 2 swords. I suspect, however, that would have made MC Ranger/Rogue too viable/easy and possible OP. Twin Strike At-will Attack: DEX vs. AC (melee or ranged) etc.

Which of the following are you suggesting? 2[W] = 2d4 + 2 OR 2[W] = 2d4 + 4

mmmm...Infinite Oregano!

This is bad encounter design (whether from WotC or homebrew). Solo + healing = bad. They already have craploads of HPs and giving them healing just makes an encounter drag on. Also, I have seen this mistake MANY times with my own group. Setup: You walk into the room and standing there is...

5-6: Character is never allowed to purchase magic items again.

I'd say you just missed the meaning in the quoted section: 1: 10% below 2: regular price 3: 10% above 4: 20% above 5: 30% above 6: 40% above Hence, 3-6 is 10-40% above base price.

I'll have to get the exact build when I get home KD, but I had my bow ranger trying out (running 2 chars) a Halfling Rogue last Sat. At level 14 I don't think he had any defenses lower than 34-36 and frequently he had them up to 40+. I'm fairly sure there is something in the build/items he has...

What they should have done is given MM to the Sorcerer. Then it could have been a multi-target (multiple missles) attack for a striker where damage is what you're supposed to do.

This. But I'd rather see it as an option like "Inherent" on the campaign screen (keeping the feat bonus idea so it doesn't stack). Make it an artifact and immune to "Transfer Enchantment".

When I was looking at the section on "Using an Implement as a Weapon", I saw that part but didn't really "read" it. Good catch. Also can't give you XP.

Damn..........
