LEB Discussion Thread '09

[renau1g]

I'll submit something else for my next PC (not sure if we're close to levelling though) besides a striker. Likely a defender (the new PP changes for wardens are awesome!)

 

[Kalidrev]

Yeah, sorry, was kinda busy yesterday with school payment stuff. I updated earlier this morning, so we should be able to move on now.

I will definitely be playing as a defender (I just happen to like defenders and strikers) and already have a Striker, so I think I'll go with Defender to try and keep all of the LEB strikers alive ^_^

So quick question, since Curse of the Dark Dream sustains as a minor action does that mean I can move the enemy more than once a turn sustaining it?

 

[stonegod]

So the ability to sustain as a minor action and slide the target, can you do that more than once a turn? Say once as a minor action and then once in place of a move action?

Nope. See Sustained Durations:

You can sustain an effect once per turn.

Thanks again

WotC put up new errata. They've nerfed quite a few items, including the Cloak of Distortion.

So my questions are:

1) Do the errata automatically apply in LEB?

2) If so, can PCs swap magic items out?

In the case of the Cloak of Distortion, it allowed my PC to not take leather armor. She had an AC of 17 at close range, 22 at beyond 5. Now she has an AC of 17 at close range and 18 beyond 5. It really wipes out the concept of a PC that is defensively weak in close but strong at range.

Note: same level monters average level+5, so she went from getting hit on an 8 or a 13 to an 8 or a 9 (not even taking into account higher level monsters).

Same for Tamarand (we have similar builds after all)

1) I believe errata is auto-applied, unless there's a proposal to exclude a portion of it.

2) I don't think so, but I don't believe there's a hard rule for it.

1. Yes. A lot of you took that cloak.

2. If it were just up to me, I would say that you could switch out the cloak at an extended rest, maybe with some limitations so you could change your cloak, but you couldn't redo your entire magic item selection now that the lvl 4 slot has opened up. However, I'm pretty loose with things like item continuity in the games I run, and others may disagree.

 

[hornedturtle]

So I was thinking for when I get to make a second character making a Cleric, any suggestions for what to use build wise?

 

[dimsdale]

Yeah, well, I don't play fruity feylocks or androgynous drow angst-ridden crybabies. My character is going to be a completely insane human (or is he?). Insanity is fun! Just like in real life! Yeah! My character is a freaking one-trick pony! And his trick is chopping up people with an axe!

I wonder what KenHood is like in real life. I bet he's a lot like Hacker Brass.
