Topic: The Armada. . .
Subject: The Armada. . .



I have been D.Ming a 4th edition campaign for over a year now. It is my firs campaign and we (me and my players) have had a lot of slow sessions(they still have not even reached paragon yet). That being said, I still consider myself a newbie D.M and I would like your opinion with something.

Over night my group went from 5 to 11.

This was due to the fact that I started playing another campaign as a player and some of my other friends wanted to play in my. I said: 'sure, why not". Before I knew it I kept saying yes and yes, and I added 6 other players.

So, I ask you: What are the pros and the cons that of this?

I know that they are going to level up drastically, because they will be killing a lot of more monsters.

I also told them that I did not want any class repeating it self twice, unless there was a special reason.

And for the love-of-Odin, no more f'ing Dragonborns!

I will appreciate your suggestion and/or advice.

Thanks.

Yeah but you also have to remember what he said. The general doesn't believe he falls into their "unrealistic" alignment system.

Which, in those strips, he brought up some good points.

The fists being about the alignment system, which I will agree that in some cases it is important to have them. But as the general mentioned, are "unrealistic" in a game that is trying to be realistic.

The second being about the evil empire. He actually took a look at the other side of the coin. I mean, what does it matter if a good guy comes in and murders the bad guy if that same bad guy had a good, long run. This made me take a retrospective on the whole bad guy/good guy situation.

Subject: I watch it. . . .



And to tell you the truth it is probably the only show I watch on cable right now.

I like the story so far, and also how uncertain the fate of the club is going to be. In one hand you see Jaks going deeper and deeper into the trough about his father. and in the other you see that the ones in command are a dis functional duo, of Kip and the other guy.

But from what I heard in the beginning is that it's basically Hamlet except with bikers.

Subject: Wow. . .




Well, in 4e, what bothers me are the magic items. The only one that actually epic in high levels is the Holy Avengers.

In 3.5 its how overpower the wizards become in high levels and how difficult it is to compete with them. I also played a fighter and it was kinda boring.

P.S: I read a lot of people mentioning things about 3e, but not a whole lot about 4e.

Is it because nobody is playing it?

He's my favorite character, but not because of the violence that seems to follow him, but by the way he looks at things and the character development he had a while back.

My other favorite character is the hob-goblin that hangs around with the lich (forgot his name). I find him to be an interesting character, specially since he's probably going to be the leader of the goblinoids.

Topic: Is there any good Hybrid classes out there
Subject: Well in my opinion...



The Warlock/Fighter is pretty good. But the warlock build needs to be the infernal pack, since it needs to receive damage to deal even more damage. Al dough, the draw backs are plenty if you don't know how to customize it well.

Also, the Warlord/Wizard can be pretty densest. You can pick your encounters for support, and your dailies for area damage.
The best Warlord build for this is the Tactical Warlord, since its main necessary abil score is intelligence.

Finally, the hybrid class that I wanted to try out was Fighter/Monk. I would pick as many feats available to increase my AC with cloth armor. For the build I would pick from the Guardian Fighter or Tempest Fighter. From the Monk the Centered Breath Monk.

The Idea for this character is that he would trow himself at a group of enemies and then mark them all using the Fighter's class feature combined with the Monk's encounters.
I would also roll play saying that he strikes with pressure points. Finally I would make him a halfling and describe that he is dressed in fancy Arab clothes. For the hell of it.

Subject: Your kind words.




Thank you for your kind words fellow adventurers. I hope that in our travels together we learn much from each other. I would also like to thank you for those kind words, they are very heartening to the soul.

Also, there is something I have to confess. I am not familiar with the lingo you guys use here in the forum. So if I seem a little lost it's because of that.

Finally, Since there are writers and creators of some of the comics here, I would like to thank you making such a great comic. All the characters feel real as well as the interaction between them. In short, the comic is awesome.

Hello everybody

I would just like to say that I'm new to the forum although I have been reading the web for a wile now. I must say that I'm very impressed with it. Because unlike other DnD web comics that I have read this one focuses more on the people playing the game instead of the characters themselves. That is actually what motivated me to read the comic since the begging. Specially since I am a D.M myself and I know what is like to start late because of a player.

Some of the comics I enjoyed range from Alacrity and Bromern, to Ray. I specially liked the comic strip #29 "Only the Wind...". I tough it was genius how Steve messed with his players using only logic and something common instead of magic.

Well that is all I have to say. Thanks for reading.
