So a fighter marks a foe when he attacks. On the foes turn it decides to run off and attack something else. Does the fighter get two basic melee attacks on that foe? 1) Melee basic attack from Combat Challenge as an immediate interrupt. 2) Opportunity attack

I think by attempting this I am beginning to understand the marking system better and what the developers were trying to accomplish. Obviously its not that easy to just slap down something different without it having a cascading affect on other things in the game. Like you said what I put down...

Here is a similar thought but without changing the Fighter Features as drasticly. Keep Combat Superiority as is. Change Combat Challenge to read like this: Combat Harrier (I like the name Combat Harrier better than Combat Challenge) Benefit: While any creature is adjacent to you and you are not...

If a foe ignores a fighters mark the foe is only going to take basic melee attack damage (if the fighter hits). How is that high-end striker level damage? And in the case I put down only one of the three foes takes on the basic melee attack damage if the fighter manages to connect.

Good points. I do not want to overpower the fighter. However, I would like to note the fighter already gains Wis bonus to all his opportunity attacks because of Combat Superiority. The thing I was trying to do is combine Combat Challenge and Combat Superiority. I thought it could be done. I...

For the quirkiness of a fighter marking someone let's take a look at an example: A fighter uses Sweeping Blow. Let's say he's now able to mark three combatants with Combat Challenge. During the enemy combatants turn all three decided to attack someone else other than the fighter. All three take...

It stems mainly from having to track the mark. Is this enemy marked, did the fighter forget to mark him but meant too, did the mark end etc. I realize that marking is not THAT complicated but it did seem to me it could still be simplified. My hope was to simplify the fighter feature and instead...

What I propose does not prevent anyone from taking Polearm Gamble. As it stands since I have now made it an opportunity action it takes nothing away from this feat. Also, Heavy Blade Opportunity could still be used. Though I do see your point. If I were to use what I proprose in my games then...

1) Good point. Combat Challenge just includes shifts and attacks. Combat Superiority includes movement but not shifts or attacks. 2) So combat challenge cannot be used with reach weapons ... I had not made the connection.

Ah, ok, I get it. My intention would be to make this power a special opportunity action for the fighter. In order to make it happen the power would have to read opportunity action instead of immediate action.

But Combat Challege is an immediate interrupt. It is not described as an OA.

Interesting, two opposite points of view. Nifft, why can't the fighter stop any number of foes that provoked OA's from him with Combat Prowess? The intent of mine was to still to make this happen. Maybe the target line should read; Maybe there should be no target line in the power and it...

I don't like the “marking” mechanic that much. The fighter in melee mode should basically have 1 square zone around him (melee 1) all the time, he has his head on swivel so to speak. If an enemy is in that zone then he better concentrate on the fighter or the fighter is going to punish him for...

I think the intent of the rule is that you are using your shield to move the target. For the above example with the whip the power doesn't make sense. As for the original question, common sense suggests you may push the target a number of squares and then you may shift into a formerly occupied...

A DM only has so much time. Sandlot is difficult because you have to prepare A LOT in order to be prepared for all the different ways the party can decide to go. I don't know about the rest of the DM's out there but coming up with things on the fly is difficult and it wastes time and a session...

I'd say about 40% in character and 40% ooc and 20% out of game. This is all done with Fantasy Grounds 2. I think a majority of roleplayers are pretty bad actors (I include myself in this generalization, I can't do an accent to save my life) and add the additional complexity of trying to improv...

I like this idea too but am going to try a modification of it. I'd like to make daily powers all considered reliable but they cannot be recovered within the same encounter they are used. If a character uses a daily and misses they get the daily back in the next encounter.

How about instead of recharging, encounter and daily powers do minimum damage on a "miss"? Any power that already has a "Miss" effect stays as is. So if you do half-damage with a "Miss" there is no change to the power.

I DM for three of my friends and the current make up is Cleric, Fighter, Druid. I've noticed that substituting in minions has helped but without a striker the bonuses that monsters get and the amount of damage they do can outclass a small group if the monster is higher level.

Yes, but these technical terms lend themselves naturally to certain descriptions. Being "hit" by a weapon/power that does "damage" and makes you "bloodied" all point to physical respresentations rather than a generic reduction of staminia/luck/skill. It does make sense to try and get more...
