How are you getting +12 dodge? And how is Wisdom applied to your shield bonus? TWF's +16 ability - your Wis mod is your enhancement bonus to your weapon, so it applies to your shield. Additionally, I'd be curious to see what your build looked like (I'm assuming it's full monk, because you had Armore...

Only slightly. It is technically non-full BAB, even though Divine Power makes it so.

the Rokugan Ninja class is in the Rokugan Campaign setting. If you can't find it, let me know and I'll PM you a link.

It has full BAB and good skills (I think, I don't have it in front of me right now), but it does not have full sneak attack - it only gets 6d6 over 20 levels.

Well, the problem is, they're very similar to each other. The feats, I mean. And differently specced DK's have very different feels, inasmuch as they're still all tanks, which taking both of these feats... wouldn't give you. A blood knight is about hitting people or dropping AoE's on them and gettin...

Yeah, I've been playing it and the class is slightly overpowered, but it's gravy. Blood is such a nice spec for PvE and leveling, that you're basically a self-healing tank.

Feats look good; only question is, can you take more than one?

You know what, I'm totally wrong. What you actually want is using two at once. Then you can have a +X cunning sword (as high as you can get it given current level) and you'll use the item crafting rituals to get a +1 Orb of continuance, +1 orb of whatever, and +1 Cunning weapon. And then you'll use...

Aktariel, I think you don't understand how 4e works. Not fully, no. 1) I don't think you even want dual implement spellcaster, I think you want something else that lets you use a second implement not at the same time. Why? 2) You can't take a level in Swordsage. All your levels are Wizard levels. Y...

Swordmages can use Longswords as implements--the FAQ for 4E states that weapons used as implements confer the enhancement, critical, and property lines of the enhancement for spells. My question still stands. Do you want me to take a level of Swordmage, or what? How do I get the "longsword as ...

How is a Swordmage Cunning Longsword different from a regular cunning longsword? You're still taking Weapon Proficiency: Longsword and going Wizard of the Spiral Tower either way... In this case, you're not actually swinging with the sword, you're holding it in your hand, it adds its enhancement bon...

The character does not gain any increase to PP from rest. This means that as they increase in level, it takes longer for them to fully rejuvenate. They start with only a few hours needed to recharge, and end needing around 9 at level 10. Stop. No, stop. This is not a good idea. While it takes away ...

Some of this stuff seems kind of random. Bards being a good balance point? what? Tome of Magic and MoIncarnum are just new subsystems, that don't add enough to the game to be worth including, IMHO. Although I do like the totemist... Warblade isn't a bad balance point for fighters, and the whole game...

No game this past week. I'll post an update on Sunday or Monday of next week about the game this Saturday. (That's a difficult tense... I will do something in response to something that hasn't yet happened though I know it will.)

Suggestions are always welcome in the meantime.
