And have been called Faerie elves (and often said to come from the land of Faerie) since 1e.

You could aways MC into Paladin to get a Cha-based melee attack.

Nope. All sorcerers are Cha, with riders based on Str (dragon, cosmic) or Dex (chaos, storm). You don't *have* to be a Storm Sorcerer, though (only one of the powers I mentioned have Storm rider effects). You could easily be a Dragon sorcerer and take lightning/fire powers, plus those with fly...

Not shoehorned at all. From the start, their guideline was "include every race that was in a PHB". The Asmodeus-based tieflings were in the 4e PHB 1.

Another cool idea!

I could see that. The Red Witch was conceived as an aspect of thew Raven Queen inspired by Greyhawk's Wee Jas, so it'd be entirely appropriate that she'd take the place of Asmodeus in a variant. But the racial bonuses would have to go to Str or Dex, plus Cha.

The closest thing to a "laser cleric" could be a wood elf archer cleric, using spells to debuff (and the occasional sacred flame) and arrows for damage. The playtest had the Light cleric, which might fit the bill, though.

Great summary! I'd like to comment on the character creation, though, since the players complained about the lack of options: unless the player wants a *simple* (i.e., less options) character, I'd tell him to build the character of any race, and just say it's human (the racial abilities would...

And telling the damn Dwarves that the Halfling is a damn burglar!

What is the math against a non-battle cleric, or against a wizard? Also note that any fighter above 2nd level might use Action Surge to get more attacks. The high-level fighter could easily pull 8 attacks on the battle cleric (9 with TWF).

This is basically Karrnath, in Eberron, where you enlist in the army for life... and beyond.

I think CR replaces the 4e guideline of "monsters more than 4 levels above or below party level are too difficult/easy". With bounded accuracy, very low CR is no longer an issue (you just use more of them), while higher CR means a possible TPK, unless handled with extreme caution. Apart from...

Let's put it this way: FR's Gandalf analogue is a Good character that summons heroes to fight evil. Greyhawk's Gandalf analogue is a true neutral manipulator who keeps both Good and Evil from getting the upper hand.

I know someone who could help! :devil:

People are looking at the light and medium armor proficiencies. A mountain dwarf wizard could begin play wearing scale mail and rise all the way to half plate, giving them a better AC than mage armor (not to mention hefting a big axe or hammer). Sure, those are sweet, if you plan on having a...

I'd say no. The wording on Sneak Attack seems to point to it being useable only on Dex-based attacks.

No, I didn't. I agree with him that a good chuck of the rewards were being earned not at the table, but at home, alone, in front of the Character Builder. For a segment of the audience, that's when you start playing, dodging the "trap choices" and finding the hidden synergy. And at no point...

Feats are a prime way to put some form of DoaM back. But the way you wrote it rules out finesse fighters. Here's what I'd do: Taxing Offense You learn to make the most of your melee reach, keeping your enemies on their toes even when you fail to connect properly. Whan you miss a creature with a...
