Shoot him, then grab his baseball bat.

The other thing to consider is Danger Sense and Quickdraw as a combination.

a) I think you do roll twice but can't put my finger on the exact rule reference b) the drawback of a single attack roll would be that it would reduce the chance of applying quarry damage. Normally if you have a 50% chance of hitting your target as a ranger with Twin Strike you have 75% chance...

Or retrain your at-will when you advance a level.

Boosting the range is a bit of a waste. Twin Strike is one of the best at-wills in the game without a question. That doesn't necessarily mean that it needs to be nerfed. don't worry too much about what he's doing to minions. If the striker is consistantly hitting minions then he's not doing...

In my experience if a character wants to get combat advantage they basically can. It's especially true for an artful dodger rogue who doesn't generally worry about attacks of opportunity. It does mean that they can become exposed and ganged up on but the same is true for the barbarian/ranger...

Comparing the Archer Build versus the other builds for features a lot of it depends on how you play it. pros of Archer Build -> Battlefield Archer paragon path, I think it's still the best paragon path option for an archer ranger. -> if you move up into melee range to provide flanking or take...

by my rough calculations an archer ranger will average more damage than the ranger/barbarian above 1d12+4d8+16 for the barbarain to an average of 40.5 damage on a hit archer ranger (assuming great bow) with twin strike d12 + 3d8 + 7 (assume +3 weapon, weapon focus (bow), and bracers of archery)...

If you intend to teleport around every chance you get you should have a pretty good idea of where you want to go next. there's a lot more movement in 4th ed because the tanks aren't stuck in 1 spot all the time, forced movement affects etc. Rubbish. Full attack was the basic approach for any...

There are (iirc) several items that add to intimidate that use different bonus types so they stack

There seem to be a couple of different questions here a) How do different approaches stack up? Are you better attempting to take individual targets down as quickly as possible? Is the additional buffing and healing of leaders worth slowing the damage output? Are the abilities that Defenders...

iirc Halflings (and dwarves and gnomes) had move 30 in 1st and 2nd ed. So if that's a fluff change for 4th ed it's a fluff change in 3rd as well. (and I'd consider the removal of level restrictions in 3rd ed and multiclassing changes to be the mother of all fluff changes in the campaign worlds)

All drow are outcast drow fighting against their evil society.

I believe that daily items can only be used 1/day is to cover the case where 1 item has 2 possible daily powers. So if power A is used power B cannot be used. I'd consider it a bizarre ruling to say that a recharged item cannot be used by the character who used it before.

Defensive Mobility actually isn't a bad option. It gives a bonus to AC against All opportunity attacks that you are exposed to and that can be very nice (especially if you go into hth range to try and get the fighter to hit enemies that attack you). Certainly combined with Battlefield Archer...

Dunno, they still aren't bad without it. Especially with Second Wind as a minor action. With the PHB 2 races available there might be better options (the only one that sprang to mind of the PHB1 races was Dragonborn) but Dwarven fighters aren't bad.

Rogues have a fair few (largely forced movement with a couple of others - Blinding Barrage and Knockout being the main ones), I don't recall Rangers having all that many status effects.

Most of the classes already can use other attributes than strength to attack with their powers (with the right selections of powers) playing in an unarmoured campaign can be done reasonably well by reskinning light armours as clothing for most classes. Heavy armour could be described as light...

I've never had that much to do with GURPS (I think I own one editions rulebook and have a couple of supplements) but my impression is that it's generally been better at the gritty end of combat than the 4th ed D&D end so I'm not sure that it's a great fit for replacing 4th ed.
