Wait - if i am wielding Longswords as an Eladrin or Hammers as a Dwarf AND have the respective feat that gives me a +2 to damage .... Then, if a power says 3[W] in its damage - isnt it (d8+2)x3 or 3d8+6 and NOT 3d8+2?

Who cares about Half-Elves ... Multi-class a trickster Rogue into Pact Initiate and eventually at level 11 pick up Eyebite as your multi-class at-will (you will need to pick up the three power swap feats too) ... Now you are invisible to enemies 'At-Will' .. (as long as you hit, which you...

So - can you use a Shuriken as a melee light blade? Or it can only be used as a THROWN weapon? Also - i know the PHB specifically has rules about ammunition being 'SPENT' when used - but im a little unsure about Javelins/Handaxes/Daggers/Shurikens - so if you have a +5 Dagger and you use it in...

For Battle clerics, Paladins and Fighters multiclassing into cleric - Raven Queen's Blessing is pure love. Also, RPing a follower of the Raven Queen is a boatload of fun - one of the most interesting gods in the 4e PHB

As a Human FIGHTER - compared to other class choices - ofcourse you won't find Action Surge very worth it - almost ALL fighter daily powers are 'reliable', so a miss isn't anything to cry about. Its when you have one daily power and one roll to get it right that you start to value - Action...

hmm, my bad on the feat bonus stacking. Human Action Surge is awesome - its not the fact that you can use it two/three times per day - its the benefit of greatly increasing the chance that you DO not miss your daily power use or the encounter power use when the situation is critical. If youve...

Um Eladrin soldier is as good as dwarven weapon training - and both complement Weapon Focus. Its not either or - especially for rangers who enjoy the damage bonus on EACH weapon. E.g - Human Ranger, Weapon Prof (Bastard Sword), Weapon Focus (Heavy Blade)- without the feats his Twin Strike does...

I concede - you are 100% correct - in fact with a FAT Wisdom bonus, the cleric would RULE the field with 'Evasive Strike'. We NEED Shadow Wasp Strike to CHANGE!! Such a waste of a L3 encounter power slot ...

No sir - your MATH is wrong. In my example the Eladrin is at 16 INT, so he only spent enough points to get to 14, then the +2 racial got him to 16. The point-buy difference between 14 and 18 IS ELEVEN. Anyhow - i think ive made my point. Eladrins are sub-optimal for almost every class/build...

There is another use that i thought of for SWS - for people multi-classing INTO the Ranger class ... the powers that DONT require a ranged or two weapons are priceless. A cleric for instance, has fairly LOW damage level 3 encounter powers - so if you were multi-classed into Ranger, you could...

Got it ... but that ONE more 3rd level encounter [2W], is worse than the 1st level encounter ... WHY? Whats the benefit, thats the question? - Does it hit more often? (It would, if it were STR v/s Ref or Fort) - Is it quicker to use? (Minor v/s Standard action) - Is it reliable i.e. if you...

To the OP - youre absolutely correct - the entire INT and DEX duality is a poor design decision. People also need to stop comparing INT/DEX to STR/CON .... CON is ONLY redundant with STR for FORT saves. Otherwise CON is essential across the board - for ALL classes - it increase your HP, your...

Valid point about the bonus to initiative with DEX (that INT doesnt provide). And, i overlooked the +1 to Will Saves .. the designers clearly did take notice. BUT .... No - youre wrong, so cry out all you want .. hehe, first, calm down. Second here's WHY youre wrong - Yes, in the...

I am certain i read a thread about this before - but since i dont have access to the search function .... Its clear that 'SHADOW WASP STRIKE' (SWS), Ranger3 Encounter Power, is inferior to 'EVASIVE STRIKE', a Ranger1 Encounter power. Tha latter does everything that SWS does AND allows...

Question about the Eladrin encounter power - does it attract Opportunity attacks? The difference here is that CON is useful across the board - higher HPs, higher surge heal, MORE surges ... Its ONLY redundant for FORT saves. Fighters would LOVE Warforged.

Hello. I wanted to ask the community - considering how INT and DEX now pretty much overlap i.e. - Higher of both provides bonus to AC (with Light or No armor) - Higher of both provides bonus to REFLEX Defence The ONLY benefit of having high scores in both is some benefits to few SKILLS...

It strikes me very odd that Warlock is the ONLY class into which you can TRULY multi-class. No other mutli-class feat, even after taking ALL the three power swap feats allow you to elect the 2nd class' PARAGON PATH ... except Warlock. Is this an unintended oversight, if yes - then is the...

Ofcourse i understand Power Attack + Sure Strike is terrible and dumb - a basic melee attack with a 16 STR character will achieve the same. I wasnt trying to powergame, i was just using it as an example to clarify a rule. An example of good use of POWER ATTACK feat with a melee power would...

Hello. Like the subject line asks: Can you use the POWER ATTACK feat only with a basic melee attack or also with powers? If POWER ATTACK is usable with ANY melee attack, including all melee powers, Opportunity attacks: Then does using POWER ATTACK feat along with the Fighter At-Will 'Sure...
