December Updates

[Umbran]

Folks,

Pretty much none of this discussion as been "general" in nature. If you hadn't noticed, we have a special 4e Rules forum. It is there for a reason. Go use it. Thanks.

I find it interesting that they changed Careful Attack but not Sure Strike. I guess the accuracy fit the striker role better.
I could see a dwarf ranger taking Careful Attack for use with axes. It's still not an equal choice to Twin Strike, but then again what is?

Sure Strike is sort of synergistic with Heavy Blade Opportunity. That may be what they're thinking.

See above.

What we're really missing here is the awesomeness of flavor text finally showing up on powers cards.

I love flavor text.

Ok Footwork Lure has now become a badly written power in regards to reach weapon. They either need to change the shift to just 1 square or remove the into the space you left at the end.

I agree. What was the abuse of it before? A reach weapon was the only reason I even considered the power in the first place.

For those of you discussing the rules aspect of the updates (as requested by Umbran, up above) there is a thread in the 4e rules forum on this very same topic for such conversations

It has taken Wizards two years to do it, but they finally fixed Arcane Riposte to be at least moderately decent.

The ranger in our party likes Careful Strike for when he wants to use a piece of Magical Ammunition on one particular opponent. It uses less of his precious magical arrows than if he used Twin Strike against one foe to ensure a hit. he had for example one Arrow of Forbiddance left, and he used Careful Attack to help him hit the evil necromancer in the middle of his ritual circle to keep him from escaping.

Yes, unfortunately, we can't do that right now. Sorry.
