For EN World subscribers, it's that time again! Combat Advantage #18 comes to you with over 60 pages of original 4e material, including three new class builds and two adventures.
  • Psecrets of the Psorcerer By Michael Evans. The first of three new class builds, imagine the power of a sorcerer tapping into the energies of the Far Realm. It's chaos meets chaos!
  • Will of the Taskmaster By Todd Crapper. If you like playing monstrous characters, then this version of the warlord is for you. Crack the whip over your allies heads and hold back enemy forces in this alternate class build, complete with full stats and feats for using whips.
  • The Reach of the Thrasher By Tim Rose. Our third and final new build places the powerful reach of the flail in the hands of a fighter. Add a little striker to your defender and watch what happens. Suggestion: It's time to add some blood to your minis.
  • There Are No Spoons By Alan "Xahlt" Glover is a 1st-level rescue to save a lost child from a hideous creature deep in a cave.
  • Mind & Iron By Corwin Riddle (www.readyanaction.com), the newest member to our team, has your heroic tier characters fighting off robots plotting to take over a village.
