Siege Of Bordrin's Watch OOC

[DEFCON 1]

BTW - I've been hoping to change this thread name by taking the [recruiting] out... but hitting Edit on the first post doesn't work anymore. Anyone know if there's a way to change the thread name anymore?

After hitting edit, there's an option to Go Advanced, or something like that.

After hitting it, you can change the title of the thread.

Sounds good.

 

[DEFCON 1]

Hey Digger, unless I'm missing something, you only have 3 trained skills listed on your RG sheet (Althetics, Endurance, Intimidate). As a human, you get an extra. Did you want Heal or Streetwise?

 

[The Digger]

Oops! I forgot that bit. I suppose Heal would be most useful. Thank you.

BTW I've never really got to grips with 4e fighters, and in particular polearm-armed ones so any advice folk want to throw my way will be gratefully received.

Not much to say unless you are dragonborn and or paragon levels. Do what you want.

My only advice would be to keep yourself more in the middle of the circle of combatants (rather than on the edges). With a reach weapon, the more spaces you can threaten that enemies will actually travel through, the more your combat superiority ability will trigger.

Unless he's got something special, he still doesn't have threatening reach:

With a reach weapon, you can attack enemies that are 2 squares away from you as well as adjacent enemies, with no attack penalty. You can still make opportunity attacks only against adjacent enemies. Likewise, you can flank only an adjacent enemy.

So no OAs against distant enemies.

 

[DEFCON 1]

Huh... didn't realize they changed that aspect of reach weapons to 4E. I've yet to run or run with someone who used a polearm, so I never noticed that you don't threaten at reach. That's kinda lame, but oh well.

And by the by... as the first check of the Skill Challenge has started, remember that one of the six of you can make the Aid Another check. So if someone thinks they'd be better off doing it, post it here or in the in-game thread.

None of the listed skills (Athletics, Endurance or Stealth) are Dorn's strong points, so I recommend he aid another (likely Endurance at +4 (+4 from Stat/Levl +1 Bardic Training -1 armor). Everyone else seems to have at least one good skill here.
