Message: <blockquote data-quote="Dan'L" data-source="post: 4757825" data-attributes="member: 68954">Finally got to playtest my new level 4 Avenger character.  I went with essentially an Isolating Avenger build with 18 Wis & 18 Int at 4th level.  Random observances/notes:- Quick answer to your question:  In 3 combats, it didn't come up even once, but it didn't matter one bit and I didn't care.  - Slightly longer answer:  I'd really rather I didn't get hit in the first place, though if I did then the extra damage to my oath target would be gravy.  I'm presently using a bloodclaw +1 longsword, usually 2-handed, so if I activate it's ability I'm getting 1d8+9 damage with a +10 to hit on at-wills and basic attacks, and almost never missing.  So another +4 damage would be great, but not altogether necessary.- Rolling 2d20, take the better, for practically every attack is, as previously reported, quite the awesomtacular.  The DM got quite sick of hearing the multiple dice hitting the table <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />- It's kind of like an anti-sticky defender.  I particularly enjoyed smacking my oath target with Avenging Echo, shifting into the middle of a crowd, and watching them scatter because they didn't want to feel the radiant burn by attacking me or ending up next to me.- Similarly, lighting up my OoE target with Halo of Fire and watching as all his friends abandon him is pure joy.  This, along with Bond of Retribution, really bring home a feeling that if you're targeted by an Avenger, your friends can't help you.- It really feels like you're running around the battlefield like a madman while your enemies flee in terror.  It doesn't get much better than that!- I never even had to touch my daily or utility (also a daily).  I suspect, though, that this will change in future sessions as the DM ratchets up the difficulty of the encounters.I had lots of fun with it, and look forward to future sessions.-Dan'L</blockquote>
