Doesn't seem like a great choice now.

What alternatives would people suggest - assuming I want to stick with a crag hammer - so no blade or axe enchantments.

I think my character use two weapon (two short sword make good attack roll). Therefore i choose tempest fighter. In addition of this i think take multiclass from rogue (gain sneak attack +2d6 per encounter). I choose multiclass only from martial class (ranger, rogue or swordmage).

And i have too much money (40.000 gp) but i must buy one magical item.

My character's features; cunning, trickster, able to use sword, stealthy (become to as the member of Bregan D'aerthe :o).
I choose some simple power from martial powers book, evaluation to this :)

at will: dual strike, footwork hure

encounter: funnelin flurry

daily: tempest dance

My feats; two weapon fighting, weapon focus (short sword). My remaining feats four.

2) Does dual implement caster's bonus apply to the melee attack?

3) If using Acid Orb, which counts as a ranged basic attack, does that mean when used with a dagger it counts as a melee basic attack?

I know the answers are probably obvious, but as I'm building a sorcerer for a game coming up, I want to be able to point to this thread should there be any confusion over ability :) ]]> Kzach http://www.enworld.org/forum/d-d-4th-edition-rules/268234-sorcerous-blade-channelling.html http://www.enworld.org/forum/d-d-4th-edition-rules/268226-mc-warlocks-curse.html Thu, 19 Nov 2009 22:17:29 GMT I can get Eldritch blast MC easily enough, I get that.

Take Bahamut, for example, who as a Level 36 Solo might be the highest level creature published so far. His attack damages are:

Bite: 3d12+10, plus two healing surges
Claw: 2d12+10
Disintegration Breath: 4d12+10, ongoing 15.
Etc.

Obviously those are no small potatoes, but for the most powerful dragon in the D&D canon? It just seems anticlimactic to say "The great platinum beast inhales deeply and lets out a blast of pure hellish fury, doing 36 HP of damage (which I believe is the average of 4d12+10). To an epic level character with HP in the 150-200 range that is barely a scratch.

Or take the Tarrasque, whose most powerful attacks (Rending Bite and Tail Slap) do 3d12+16, or whose standard Bite only does d12+16! "The mighty 50-ft tall abomination tears into your flesh and does 22 HP of damage". Oooh, I'm scared.

The campaign I've been running--and am now playing (and co-DMing)--has only made it up to 5th level, but I found this to be the case with many of the monsters they've been facing. It just isn't that scary to take 12 HP of damage when you have 50 from the final foe.

For example, I have a 5th level avenger whose attack bonus with Overwhelming Strike is +11 and with a basic attack it is +8. Why would I ever use a basic attack?

It says: On your turn, you must engage the target you challenged or challenge a different target.

To me that means you can switch your challenge back and forth between creatures and you don't have to actual engage that target. That's very useful with abilities like divine sanction.

I can sanction the guy I'm currently challenging, and then move the mark to another person...maintaining the power on both of them.

- the ability to chose from the 3 aspects is listed after the aspect and doesnīt list (2nd level)... so you get a power at level 1 which you canīt use?

-aspect power cards have no special entry which say that you can only have one readied for the day

This began with last month's update, I hadn't updated in a while then because there were rumors here updates were borked.

So, last week we were fighting approximately 70k zombies arranged in three giant blocks of Zombie Mobs.

After spending 75% of the battle trying to push a cart off a bridge (I rolled 1,1,2,2,1 before I gave up, I wrote it down it was so annoying) I decided to do something fun by wagonjacking someoneones ride and trying to bowl through the Mob.

We just sorta winged the rules for it in that session, but afterwards I sat down to read the rules listed in the AV (of all strange places) for vehicular combat.

From what I read, the wagon can indeed run over an opponent, doing 1d10 damage per square of movement before it hit, but it takes the same damage in return (along with damaging me and any other passenger on the wagon). The two-horse team has a move of 4 pulling the wagon, so at top speed it would deal 4d10 to the unfortunate overrunee and wagon and half that amount to myself, my passengers (and possibly the horses, I cannot recall).

Does this seem like I have it all down to anyone who has actually done some vehicular homicide in their games?
