    Holy cow my party has 3 strikers in it

    Also, do not underestimate throwing encounters at the party that occur in waves. Having minions, a soldier or two and artillery in the first wave, followed by minions, lurker and/or striker in the second wave can be effective. Usually by the time the second wave rolls in, your party will have...

    Holy cow my party has 3 strikers in it

    What's really missing here is a discussion about DMing different groups through pre-fab adventures. Sometimes those adventures simply aren't tailored to the group in question. I reject the notion that strikers are the best classes in the game. they are the best damage dealers certainly. How...

    Battlerager....Overpowered?

    Battlerager Vigor doesn't allow for that. Maybe he has a magic item, he hasn't told people about? Ranged and Area attacks don't give the THP.

    Selling items : illogical rule ?

    Re: selling items "What?! No, we are playing Dungeons & Dragons at this table. You want the table in the other room, they are playing Milton Friedman's Merchants & Markets." Seriously, for the economists in the discussion it really sounds to me like 4e isn't the game for you. That is OK...
