[QUOTE="ozziewolf, post: 4264896, member: 64443"] I just wanted to state as the Halfling Rogue involved... my level of awesomeness and contribution was significantly downplayed! :cool: First fight encounter I didn't do anything to spectacular and just helped kill. The second fight I won initiative and took cover in an alcove nailing a 24 point sneak attack on one of the Skirmishers... I did hit one of the traps but thanks to my Halfling encounter power to reroll attacks I was able to avoid it. Later is where I really got the feel for my 4th edition power. I had 21 AC against attack of opportunities and made good use of it. (+2 Racial to AC against OA and +3 CHA modifier.) With this and my halfling encounter power I basically learned that I could basically move as I pleased with impunity and stopped bothering to shift. A few times at the beginning the fighters marked target would try and miss me but get nailed by the Fighter wielding a Maul. (For 20 damage!) They learned pretty quickly and the target just stopped trying to hit me when I moved. I know I rambled a bit but after playing 4E I'm really excited about it! :D P.S. Those guys all hiding at the end led to my pocketing a pearl... so it wasn't all bad. (Luckily it wasn't trapped though as I learned later that I had rolled a one.) edit: I also found I had a lot of control on when and where opportunity attacks could occur through my attacks that allowed me to slide an enemy on a successful hit.
