.....Did anyone mention using coup-de-grace rules for a non-minion sentry? The idea is you're setting up a lethal strike, just as you could against a helpless enemey. So throat slittings would be an auto-crit on a hit and instant death on damage greater than bloodied value.....makes sense to...

For assassins its pretty good IF you take alot of invisibilty powers. With decent power choice, you may very well become invisible 2-3 times per battle, and and then you have some great powers that let you stay hidden.....Being hidden is a pretty good defense for the squishy assassin. So in...

The simplest anti-charge tactic is get next to him, or within 1 square of him. He can't charge them without moving first, and that WILL provoke OA's. Enemies that slow, create difficult terrain, etc also hurt chargers. As for being worried...He's spent alot of gold making this build work...

No, you still have to actually 'hit' them. It seems reasonable they could hit give you combat advantage (by closing their eyes to blind themselves or similar), but anything after that is house ruling. Reason you still have to hit: in the middle of a battle, you're still going to have to take...

I'm pretty sure everyone in my group has "opportunistic greedy" as their alignment, but roleplay it in a good-natured way.

I think the difference is that 'Disciple of Divine' Wrath lacks the line "You do not regain the use of the power if the target drops to 0 hit points." Ideally with Disciple of divine as long as you kill your enmity target before it expires...you get it back. So if you use it for a killing blow...

I think having it work out as "Scrolls of +1 enchantedness" or "Enchant Item lvl13" is a good way to do it. Just have the all costs for the item already be within the scroll, then they just need their ritual caster (or the local priest) to cast it upon the item of their choosing. Boom. Or you...

this is my previous reply to a similar question: http://www.enworld.org/forum/d-d-4th-edition-rules/257088-bracers-shields-can-you-use-them-together.html#post4816046 The whole thread will likely help you come to your own conclusion, my claim is that non-magic items cannot take up magic item...

as for the search, yahoo (and i assume most others) let you search a specific site for example type in: chaos sorcerer site:enworld.org/forum/d-d-4th-edition-rules and you'll get a search of this forum and all instances of sorcerer and chaos... seems like more people should know this....but...

One thing I haven't seen mentioned is how Opportunity attacks/combat challenge attacks fit in with this.....and to me this seems to be an interesting dynamic to consider. When the BR has temp hp, his OA/CC are bumped up just a little, not so much that its going to send anyone over the moon, but...

Rulewise: it looks a creature is one or the other, no middle ground. But there is absolutely no reason as far as game balance etc not to let there be neutral designations. I can think of no reason why you couldn't have a third faction that was neither a foe nor friend, it would be fun, it...

If you've never seen a television show where they had to write out a character, then you haven't seen nothing... method 1: Promotion! he's now king of dragonland. Bureaucrats drag him off kicking and screaming. His NPC form shows up now and then to make encounters seem special. Method 2: He...

Longsword isn't for eladrin rogues to use longswords, its for eladrins who use longswords to be rogues. Any Eladrin pure Rogue using a longsword will be below a rapier in most ways, and behind a double-sword 99% of the time. However, an eladrin ranger that dual wields longswords, swordmage...

Again, if the rules don't say you don't get the +3 to warding bonus to swordmages using two handed weapons as an implement, there is no reason to think they can't. But sword mages also have plenty of weapon powers, which do require you to use both hands, which is when the warding falls down to...

Actually, there is no reason to believe you need to use two hands for a full blade or mordenkrad when using them as an implement. The rules say nothing on the subject that these objects as implements follow any rules similar to that of weapons. (please! correct me if i'm wrong!) Unless...

Khopesh is legitimate mostly because damage is not an earthstrength warden's worry, the biggest detriment is that its only +2 proff (i think?). That's worse than any damage loss, but not going to sink your ship. My warden uses a bastard sword, and i've considered down grading to longsword for...

Remember, when you drag them back with your warden's Grasp ( i think thats the name) they also get hit with slow and can't shift....so they tend not to wander off...not without provoking your OA's, plus they can't wander far while slowed. I've used it on adjacent foes when they took OA's on an...

My earth strength warden that uses a shield and sword has mulitclassing to Avenger...basically for two rounds my oath of enmity means my attacks hit, so that when i pile on some of the good single target defensive attacks. As earth strength the daily and encounter multiclassing are pretty much...

The problem isn't with golden mean....its with shutting down a solo, which is a well known problem. Any tactic that starts with "don't let the only monster do anything" is going to be lopsided in power. Try golden meaning orcus without shutting him down and see how good an idea it is, he won't...

I and My DM use legos.....mostly from castle and pirate sets...you see to give them a 2x2 base or the fall over, but legos actually work really well....if you're like me and have a bout 50 sets from your youth. Modern castle sets even have trolls and orcs (which they call trolls) and dwarves...
