Agreement, but i think the logic is that the powers themselves are what contain the full extent of the binders controlishness, thus to let a feylock use the full kicker of the fey binders power gives them full controller capabilities AND warlock curse damage. I think its hit or miss whether...

This helps me put my finger on something about the binder. From the first time I read it, it left me cold, empty, and longing. To me its in the mechanics that it is weak and nicheless, and oh how weak and without niche it is. I read through the HoShadows binder part and could not tell what...

Corruption of the soul. Even after the group finds it, it is not 'useable' until purified or restored and possibly a danger to them. This could be in the form of a 'disease' or possession by evil, where the souls corruption is contagious or treacherous, but could also be due to a horrible...

Renewed my DDI with Christmas money, and this article stood out as perfectly done to my tastes. They stay true to the fey, make for a reasonable paragon path, and have flavor, fun, and room to expand a story within. Thanks, Mister Klaus.

Rejection received today as well, the reason given I focused too much on crunch I wanted to share, and not enough on the fluff to engage readers. "For future submissions, please focus on compelling flavor. It's great if you have a cool mechanical concept, but usually, that idea needs to be...

To me, weird geometry would involve a player not being able to travel coherently through it. Like when ever they enter a 'weird square' they must save or end up in a random adjacent square (or any random square in the aura) OR that to travel through it the player states the path they think they...

Same story with a Behir and my Warden....except the warden was also resisting damage and regenerating, so after three rounds of being in its belly and disrupting its attacks it spit me out relatively unharmed. I actually used wardens grasp to slide him into flanking rather than attacking him to...

the cosmology includes the mortal world (fallen kingdoms and forgotten lands), the shadowfel, the feywild, the elemental chaos, the astral sea and the far plane. The most notable other geological feature is the underdark/fel/wild. So seeing a astral sea book is reasonable, i mean its the...

Yes I've done it, and yes it works fine. Its simple and clean and choosing feats is easy, and you can get a good feel for the system (great for beginners). Definitely add magic items from other sources, though, you'll find the ones in book limited in a very clunky way. If everyone's on...

The warden question hinges on two things: 1. Font of life specifically states "an effect a save can end" 2. Is dying an effect a save can end? Since making a death save doesn't end anything (it just keeps things stable), all campaigns I've been in have rule that font of life does not provide...

The feat itself has confused me for a while. It says each end is a light blade, but is it still a flail? Does it still have reach? Its hard to say if the feat is trying to describe the 'new' weapon in its entirety OR if its saying "everyithing the same plus these additions (light blade...

The Iconics in the Heroes of the Fallen Lands and Heroes of the Forgotten Kingdoms are in some of the recent novels too. At least one novel featured the cleric of erathis on the cover of the first essentials book, and several of the other characters in those books as supporting characters. I...

The three actions you get in 4e are one of the easiest things to learn for most new players that I've seen. If nothing else, write it on a peice of paper and hand it to them, and they never ask again. Opportunity actions, immediated actions, those are confusing and occasionally time killers...

Seeing as some multiclass feats have the prerequisite that you've already taken multiclassing in that class, and do not indicate that this is an exception,I think its safe to say you can. From Martial Power: You could argue exception based design, but I betting its not. You can load up on...

According to the compendium Boiling Cloud does have the weapon keyword in the description of the attack (which is important because its damage is defined by a [W], if its not a weapon attack this would have no meaning). Lets use 'form of the lightning lord' (D379), which is still a warden power...

The Skald depends almost completely on basic attacks....very little dependence on CHA or even secondaries, you could easily go strength as you primary stat.

Powers are fully and freely swapable for all classes, abilities are not as they have no precise counterpart given that you could swap them for. There are a couple of swap type feats that let you trade specific abilities for specific abilties for a few classes.

Have the book now, and Love it......and I haven't read much crunch, mostly I've read the background and stories. Its the sort of fairy tale that's fun to read just to fire up my imagination! The stories in the pictures are interesting too. Good job and thanks to the authors!

Honestly, the sentinel should be able to nab those companions for themselves....and those powers! I see no reason they shouldn't! Why wouldn't they have access to that? Heck, this whole theme could have been a class acts for the Sentinal.....

Am I missing something: Slashing kama style seems to let you deal ongoing damage equal to your flurry damage (no end to the ongoing stated, i notice, i'll assume save ends or else, of course, its just silly good/broken). So you have an at will of dealing ongoing X damge once per flurry (which...
