I really like the barbarian/sorcerer hybrid, both in mechanics and flavor. The idea of such massive amounts of physical, primal and arcane power contained in such a comparatively fragile character seems really cool. The hero (almost certainly a dragonborn) ferociously cuts down enemies left and...

A cinnabar dragon would have to use a fire breath weapon. It would also need to be able to shapechange into the form of a small red and white ball and only grow wings after reaching the adult stage. It's hoard would include, among other things, Volcano Badges. I would also like to hear more...

This. The amount of time and money needed to really get the most out of an MMO are really not in abundance at this time in my life. I have friends whose lives, while not ruined, are certainly inconvenienced by how much they choose to put into WOW. As it is, I'm content to watch over their...

Third person scenes seem... really, really cool. I'm not sure how great my players would be at separating what they know from what their characters know, but I still really want to give it a try.

"when i shredded him into a trillion lifeless specks of ash." Absolutely awesome.

I really can't see ANY predator attacking these things when they're floating. Sure, maybe the largest dragons creatures of like size and power may be able to stomach them or deal with the explosion (though even they would be likely to search for easier prey), but anything smaller would either be...

I just wanted to chime in and say that, from an evolutionary standpoint, this is pretty brilliant. Any animal that only descends to the earth and the reach of predators when hungry is far safer than others. This may be nitpicking at fluff, but I would recommend you allow the young of the species...

This. I'm the kind of guy that used to play using graph paper and a mechanical pencil to serve as the combat map. My group and I have gotten a bit more sophisticated since then (moved on to a dry erase board we drew a 30 x 20 grid on), so I understand the need for things like miniatures and...

I suppose it must just be a matter of personal preference like you said. To me, there's nothing you can accomplish with cards that you can't accomplish (faster and using less printer ink) just by knowing your character well enough. I could see the value of the cards being slightly greater the...

"I mean, are they powers or are they cards?" Seriously though, I really don't understand the need. It just seems... superfluous. Why do we need a full deck of what our character can do when it's just as easy to scribble down the effects (with ALL modifications from feats, scores, magic weapons...

My first 4e character I played in any real capacity was a human wizard. Honestly, I didn't love it at first, but I quickly found myself the most potent member of the party. A quick question: how high is your Wisdom? It seems that since your initiative is so low, your Dexterity must be too...

There is something inherently awesome about the duality of this... I hadn't even thought of the parrying dagger. I mean, it would eat up feats and keep me from taking Action Surge any time soon, but still...

The dwarf is probably the only other route I'd take, as the eladrin stat boosts really don't help, and while fey step is nice, I really enjoy having that other warlock encounter power. I may try and see if my DM will house-rule my character as a half-eladrin instead of elf. That would be...

I considered Spiteful Glamour, but I like the idea of the enemy taking damage even if they move to engage you. It's almost as if the secondary Dire Radiance damage is automatically triggered, as when the target advances it takes 1d8+4 damage and when it retreats it takes 8 damage from Divine...

This is a class combination that's intrigued me since 3.5, and I'm just looking for a bit of feedback on what I've got right now. Half Elf Paladin/Infernal Warlock Str 10, Con 18, Dex 8, Int 12, Wis 12, Cha 18 At-wills: Bolstering Strike Enfeebling Strike Encounters: Shielding Smite Hellish...

Let me clarify: They did not lose to the minions. Rather, the battle took them an hour to finish (they faced two goblin blackblades as well, but they ran away two and three rounds in). They faced six level 3 minions. They were set to face four more, but I cut them in the interest of time once I...

What do you do if you're DMing for players who are just... well, bad at the game? The group I'm speaking of consists of two veterans, two players with intermediate experience and one brand new player. It was their first game of Fourth Edition. I've played with most of them many times before and...

I agree with your ruling for 1, though I don't allow them to use fish, only live cats.

More (read: better) multiclassing options, druid/monk/barbarian and the iconic bard, more powers for every class (especially the wizard), more paragon paths and MORE FLUFF. I never thought that D and D would feel like pure math, but that's what 4e reminds me of. I'm also disappointed with the...

Half his level, maybe? I mean, assuming they're higher than level one, that's something to factor in.
