An Example Character, Levels 1-30

[Rowsdower]

I appreciate that write up Eletroshock-Therapy.

A few things though:
1) I don't know what most of those feats actually do.
2) The powers with "damage #(se)". Does it specify what type of damage or can the player decide WHEN using it? And I'll assume se means save ends.
3) For the "1,2 or 3 targets. if 1, +4 hit." that means if you choose 1 target you get a +4 added to the +31?
4) Did I read that right? implement bonus of +6? so it increases in power as the character does?
5) I have a general question about surges. Characters are limited to the number they can use a day? If so, dont they refresh at each extended rest? So there is a good chunk of surges that won't ever get used?

I've noticed a few mistakes in calculating HP. I believe the warlock some pages back should have 185 and the 10th level dragonborn paladin only 83.

Excel is pretty darn helpful for this, but the long and short of it is hpperlevel * [level-1] + classbase + currentcon. So your paladin with a con of 14 has a base HP of 29. He gets 6 HP per level and has gained 9 levels to get to level 10. 6*9=54. 54+29=83

Okay, his quotes are seriously cool. Before anything else, I found myself reading them. All-in-all, great job on the stats as well.

Yea, there was a lot of time saving stuff in there for stuff I myself found obvious, I'm happy to clarify!

1) Well... maybe not that happy. Honestly, most of them are figured into the stats or have conditional effects. For example Hellfire Blood gives +1 to hit and damage with Fire attacks (its a Tiefling Racial Feat) and I believe I figured that in. I figure you can get a good feel for the character without 'em
2) The powers with ongoing damage like Disintegrate...SE in my notes does indeed indicate Save Ends. For Disintegrate in particular, you take the larger number until you save, and then the smaller number until you save.
3) Just so. You can target 1-3 opponents within 20 range, but if you only target 1 your effective attack bonus is +35.
4) I'm going to assume you are referring to the class feature. Each Wizard Implement grants a different encounter ability. The Wands ability is +Dexbonus to hit on one attack roll. IE, I use my wand to do a +37 Meteor Swarm. It is sheerly related to Dex scale, and just happens to coincide with the + of the implement. It's also the reason Dex is so high when it might seem like a bit of an overlapping stat seeing as Int grants the same Reflex/AC bonuses.
5) Yes, that is the number you can use in-between extended rests. However all my playtests prior to getting the books indicated that players go through quite a number of Surges as they use them not only between battles to heal during short rests, but the Clerics heal uses them, as well as Second Winds. In the two games my group ran, Second Winds rather than Daily Powers tended to enforce rests most often.

You have to understand I made these very quickly, in 30 minutes or so as I have no intention of actually playing them, simply an excersize in seeing the new leveling system in action. I hope you forgive any slight mistakes I might have made in my haste. I would pay a great deal more attention to a character I had painstakingly leveled through actual questing

Thanks for inspiration.

I hope more 30th level characters get statted up; I'd like to see the result of a battle between five 30s and a tarrasque.

Knight of Glory is the first power with a 'serious' flavor issue. Elic's earlier spirit prayers were generic enough in name, but this guy doesn't summon a knight. In an real game I'd rename the power to something like "Spirit of the wild" and reflavor it as the ghost of a vengeful dryad ghost or something (most of his powers could be renamed and flavored, really).

I think I got masterwork armor right (this could be explained better, or I'm missing something). Once you hit a certain plus the base AC of the armor increased in addition to the enchantment bonus from the plus, at no added cost. Right?

There are next-to no level 10+ religion and nature rituals [in fact they almost entirely stop at level 22] Anything at the higher levels with a check isn't too appealing with Elic's untrained, no Int bonus Arcana rolls. Of course wizards gain new rituals for free every 5 levels, so I know why we need as many arcane as we have here... I think allowing Religion and Nature for some of the arcane rituals like scrying will be my first house rule.

Also it's odd that the Solar Wrath doesn't have the implement keyword. It looks like any power with an attack roll needs wither implement or weapon to keep up.

ThirdWizard, should all those halberd attacks be d8?

Fixed - halberd damage d10s

 

[Japhane]

Can anyone help me figure out how Spatula's level one fighter has a +6 Basic Attack?

I see the +3 for STR, and the +1 for 2H Weapons, but where is the other +2 coming from? The only think I could see would be the bonus +2 for AO's, but then why consider that into the base attack?

Any and all help would be appreciated!

Thanks!

 

[Cadfan]

Japhane- weapons have innate bonuses to attack rolls in 4e. This bonus is generally +2 or +3. Its one of the ways that weapons are different from each other- some weapons are more accurate, others deal more damage.

So his fighter is using a weapon that has a natural bonus of +2.
