And while we are at it... remove Combat Anticipation (as it is a feat bonus as well, and thus does not stack with the others) and add Durable back in.

Ah! That's one of the thing I really like about this campaign. I've greatly improved my mastery of the rules thanks to little things like this.

As a heads up, the start of day 2 will see you assigned to the security detail of a Consul during an election.

First post will give a bit of details about the Undhil political system, but suffice it to say that the consulship is the highest office in Undhil and so that's no junior assignment.

Just saying this in case it gives you some ideas (Anywhere from character building to background details).

@Garrick : looks good at a glance. PC entered in my files.

Just out of curiosity, what paragon tier feats would you consider good choices for a ranged cleric like Leyra?

You get 6 feats in total during paragon levels.

I think these are the ones I would choose then... I don't really see anything else, that's good enough to compete with the better heroic tier feats.

- Armor Specialization
- Great Fortitude
- Lightning Reflexes
- Iron Will
- Point-Blank Shot
- Agile Athlete

Where is Divine Power?

The Cleric is noriously the class with the fewest appropriate feat choice at this point. I'm playing one on L4W so I'm aware of the situation.

Worthy of interest;

Elven Precision (+2 on the elven accuracy reroll; for that attack that really needs to hit)

Divine Rage (Actually heroic level, it's another Channel divinity power, non-deity specific. Pretty good; look it up. Only downside is it competes with Melora`s tide)

Arcane reach : When using a Close power, you can treat the point of origin as being two squares away from you. You have quite a few Close burst or close blast power (Divine Glow, Beacon of Hope, Healing Words, mass cure light wound etc.) so it could be useful.

Combat anticipation is still useful even though the +1 to AC doesn`t stack with armor specialization. That still leaves +1 to will, reflex and fortitude against ranged, area and close attack. This isn't too shabby since most of these attack don't target AC anyway...

Devastating critical is decent for you since your critical hits start at 19-20 for the majority of your powers.

Yep, seems like there are a lot more choices for the other classes. Not really a problem, there are still enough good feats, just not much choice.

Elven Precision (+2 on the elven accuracy reroll; for that attack that really needs to hit)

That's heroic. And I'm still not sure, whether it is really that good. It's only 1/encounter and only a 10% chance to have any effect. So it has an effect only once every 2-3 adventuring days. Not a whole lot.

Divine Rage (Actually heroic level, it's another Channel divinity power, non-deity specific. Pretty good; look it up. Only downside is it competes with Melora`s tide)

I do not know that feat. Where is it from?

Arcane reach : When using a Close power, you can treat the point of origin as being two squares away from you. You have quite a few Close burst or close blast power (Divine Glow, Beacon of Hope, Healing Words, mass cure light wound etc.) so it could be useful.

Erm... Arcane reach...

Combat anticipation is still useful even though the +1 to AC doesn`t stack with armor specialization. That still leaves +1 to will, reflex and fortitude against ranged, area and close attack. This isn't too shabby since most of these attack don't target AC anyway...

Not if you learn the three +2 defense feats, though. Which, considering the current selection, you will at least get two of.

Devastating critical is decent for you since your critical hits start at 19-20 for the majority of your powers.

Yeah, that's not too bad with the Radiant Servant.

Gene; You are missing one feat.

A suggestions;

Plate Proficiency (followed with Plate specialization instead or Scale, of course). As a dwarf it changes nothing to your speed (though it does come with -2 to some skills).

Otherwise, unlike poor Leyra ( ) , a fighter has no shortage of choices.

 

[Mal Malenkirk]

Erm... Arcane reach...

If it shows up on the CG as available, I just assume you can use it!

 

[stonegod]

She can take it (it has not prereqs), but it only applies to arcane powers. The CG doesn't check that....

 

[Thanee]

Right, I was also wondering, why Dagran only wears Scale. Plate is simply better for a dwarf.

So, what book is Divine Rage in?
