Thing is, while the avenger's trick (from what little we know) is unique and seems fun, it doesn't play well with most any other melee. The rogue needs combat advantage, the fighter and the warlord mostly give boni? to adjacent allies.

Remember, you can be adjacent to your own allies, and the monster can be adjacent to your own allies. You just can't be adjacent to more than one monster.

Ah I misunderstood, thought it said no other ally can be adjacent to the monster. Well I guess the Avenger is like a main assist then.

Man, the Avenger doesn't seem to disappoint. I can't wait for the PHB2 to come out.

PHB2 is going to kick 4e into a higher level. Is it March yet?

Yes. We all have PHB2 and love it. Somehow, you got left behind in a time warp.

Didn't Mr. Mearls say that PHB2 was the best work he'd ever done, or something like that?

Is it possible an avenger is not, in fact, a striker but a defender?

No, they have no standard marking ability. The ability to mark is an essential part of a defender, much like the ability to heal is an essential part of a leader.

 

[Cadfan]

More to the point, they can't really do the defender role, and are actually very dependent on having a defender in the party to stop monsters from double teaming them and ruining their Oath bonus.

Any other news from DnDXP yet? There was a mention there was a 2 hour Q&A session, what did it cover?

 

[Kobold Avenger]

I'm guessing there's a character sheet for a Shifter Druid there. Though we generally know what Shifters and Druids do by now.

What they do is what in mmorpgs is called a main assist. While the defender keeps the majority of the mobs locked down in place with the help of the controllers, the main assist pulls away the mobs one by one so they can be focus fired. Avenger seems to be able to do so perfectly, moreso since he has quasi-defender skill in locking a mob down instead of just pulling.

By the way doesn't he look a bit like a sohei?
