All right, newsflash; Day 2 will be level 12 instead 11.

That way the PCs get the utility power from their paragon path and we get a better feel for the 'paragon difference', so to speak.

Bump all the magic items guideline I gave by 1.

No battle rager? Why not?!? Boo... Hiss... (You don't need to arguem I'm actually okay witht the decision even if I'm not certain I agree.)

Well, for the record, there is of course the fact that I'm concerned that giving up +1 to hit doesn't compensate for the increased durability, especially over the course of a long working day such as the one you have just been through. Trying to evaluate how much temporary hit points Dagran would have earned over the course of that day is mind boggling.

There is also, I must confess, a somewhat irrational dislike for the feature based on the fact that upon close examination, there is no rager in the battlerager! He behaves exactly like a less accurate but much tougher version of any other standard weapon talent fighter who made similar power choices. Where's the rage? The trademark wildness?

The real Battlerager is the dwarven barbarian. That guy puts the rage in the battlerager. His tactics reflect the fluff of the battlerager better than the battlerager frpm MP. I'm really eager to see the full writeup and the tweak they made to it. PHB2 is out next monk I think and I'm really looking forward to it.

Nice. An extra Paragon tier feat, as well. Makes choosing a bit easier, heh.

Ironically on the flavor side, I think the MP "battlerager" fits Dagran more than the older fluff. not a big loss, and I'll be happy keeping him in scale... How much time am I gonna have to update, my DDI sub ran out and I'm crazy busy

 

[Velmont]

I'll continue with that character. I'll go for the Coronal Guard.

 

[Mal Malenkirk]

Update on your pace, I may need about a week anyway.

I'm also gonna try recruiting someone to fill Barrion's spot but if he shows back up I guess I'll just adapt to a 7 PC party. Anyone has a well mannered internet EN buddy he would like to recommand before I go public with this?

Well, speaking of flavor, What I feel really matches the way you play Dagran, both tactically and in roleplay, is the Dreadnought paragon path. Both the fluff and the powers fits very well.

As a dreadnought, you are an inexorable force of
destruction. You turn aside weapons with nothing
more than your force of will. Fire cannot touch you;
lightning cannot blind you. The core of your might
grows from your ability to detach your mind from
your body, to disassociate yourself from the pain of
your wounds and press onward to keep fighting when
others would succumb. You attain this state through
discipline and a commitment. All who attempt to
stand against you are bound to fall.

I mean, come on! This is Dagran.

Maybe for you Thanee I'm tearing out what little hair I have left. I never knew it could be so difficult. Of course with Garrick I have Paladin as well as Rogue powers and feats to look at but equipment....

No! I won't scream. I will just bang my head gently against the screen 'Biff' Ah that's better. I never knew I could regret getting the AV.

Still I'm nearly there. I will look at it again tomorrow - Oops! later this morning...

Night all!

Aiming to drive Mirage more to the direct damage route with the next build, though he'll still use a number of illusions to get there (but then switch gears to go Blood Mage in paragon). Pace wise I'm working through character builder and on magic items, though I may review feats and powers again.

I recommend stonegod to join if he wants in.

 

[Thanee]

Ok. I think I'm set.
