I missed my badge as well. Thanks for the reminder!

Ok, so our rogue has the popular 3rd level encounter attack - Nasty Backswing, free action attack triggered when "You miss with a melee attack". And he's considering taking the 9th level daily "Rogue's Recovery" that has "Effect: If you have used all your encounter attack powers you regain the...

Of course it applies to weapon attacks with the Holy avenger. But does it apply when using the holy avenger as an holy symbol? Gith Blademaster does not specify that the feat bonus only applies to weapon attacks, and that would make sense for classes like Swordmages and Monks using a *heavy...

When you're retraining to a paragon feat, make sure that the retraining is happening at a paragon level. The CB will not show you paragon feats if you're trying to put the retraining on the 7th level line. If you select levels 11 or up for the retrain, the CB should show all your feats...

That's pretty cool. I make my own character sheets in Excel format so that the calculated numbers change automatically and I basically did the exact same thing with DC/DS to save space on the sheet. Yours is much more official looking.

I'd be interested to hear any lawyerly argument as to why you couldn't use a Action point while dazed. Thematically, I can see why a DM might house rule that way, but the rules as written seem pretty cut and dried. The Dazed condition explicitly says you *can* take free actions while dazed...

The Wizard in our group developed a nasty habit of including my character and the other Dragonborn in his area of effect blasts in order to maximize enemy damage. Sometimes he would catch other characters, but mostly just the dragonborn. Above game it was humorous and not a huge issue since he...

How can the runner up get 60% of the total? That only leaves 40% for the "winner"??? I'm all for booting them both though. Send the cats and dogs packing!

Wow, this really is a pretty great app. Mortaneous, you've outdone yourself already, but it just keeps getting better! I figured out how to execute a readied characters reentry in to the initiative order using the "Move to top" button, but I'm still fuzzy on how to do a delayed characters...

As a side note, even if you didn't want to slide the opponent 1 square, you can (and should) still use overwhelming strike. The general rule on forced movement is that you can move the target any amount less than the prescribed amount, so Overwhelming choice is still the better choice when you...

The Shifters have GOT to go. Lycanthropes are monsters, and diseased monsters according to the old school. I can't see any a lycanthropic race as good for anything except experience points unless you're playing a WoD campaign. Time to send the Furries packing. Lets kill the Razorclaw...

Cover an concealment don't combine, you either have one versus a particular attack or the other. In several places the PHB says you have one or the other, but never implies you can have both. So the max penalty is -5 if the target had Superior Cover. (Naturally concealment would not apply to...

If you will read my post again I think you will find that I have suggested a material tradeoff in the mechanics. One of the major criticisms of the expertise feats is that they add no flavor to the character, they're just a bland bonus that scales with tiers. My suggestion was to offer a...

You don't necessarily have to get rid of the expertise feats, just make superior implements and either/or choice. An interesting alternative is if superior implements gave a static to-hit bonus but could not have expertise feats for them. A static bonus to hit and dmg and/or maybe some...

That's a great point, Mach. You should'nt really expect your rogue to be able to do this to a city guard at level 1, but maybe you could at level 12 or 15. At the same time, if you were taking out a kobold lackey at level 1? Definitely auto kill. What's the theme here? If your character is...

That also assumes that you only get attacked one time in the following round. If the monsters are being played with any tactical acumen at all all they will fight like the players do and kick the man while he's down, because a fighter at 1 hp does just as much damage as one with full hp. You...

That's true, but you also have to factor in that a expanded crit range will always applies and Holy Ardor only applies when you can use your Oath of Emnity benefit. Sure, an avenger should always try to get OE, but it's still not a 100% proposition. That frequency multiplier will also reduce...

I agree with you, but once every 2 levels would still be pretty worthless. However the 400 number is the number of attack rolls, not encounters, so the frequency also depends on the number of attack rolls per encounter. Almost all of the fights I've had till now (lvl 11) are over in way less...
