    Okay, officially switching to a Persona-themed campaign.

    Gonna force everyone to bring the RP. 70% RPG, 30% Combat.

    This is going to turn out great.

    you know, this kind of thing is cool and all, but I have a lot more fun role-playing as a character who is cutting dudes in half than I do role-playing a dude who is following clues or whatever. Maybe this makes me a moron, I don't know.

    Thing is, if combat gets to heavy, you run the risk of character vanishing nearly entirely.

    Don't get me wrong - I love me some combat, but it needs to be grounded by plot and characterization, or it becomes somewhat meaningless.

    I plan to incorporate as many strange things as possible.

    It will feature a normal world, and a secondary twisted version of the normal world in which the monsters dwell. It will feature finding new facades, and improving those you already have. It will feature many things.

    I am making a Fighter/Bard hybrid but it is difficult for me to know if I am selecting the best powers and feats for him because I don't have Martial Power on hand to reference.

    If anyone has it on hand, please tell me about Level 5 Daily and Level 10 Utility Fighter powers in the book, as well as any cool Feats for Fighter or Warlord (I took the Multiclass Warlord from PHB1 as one of my feats).

    Stats so you know if I'm qualified for particular feats:

    Fighter/Bard
    Elf
    STR 18
    CON 13
    DEX 12
    INT 10
    WIS 10
    CHA 18


    EDIT: Oh, and I'm arming him with a glaive. Why? Well, several reasons. One: It has reach. Two: It counts as a heavy blade, so I can get a songblade version of it to use my Bard powers. Three: No one ever uses glaives, so it will make my character a unique snowflake.

    I haven't played D&D for many moons. In my circle, it was never discussed. Only until college was I finally able to experience the true darkness that is dungeons and dragons. And then one of my roommates killed my character after I poisoned his dog. Good times.

    As I was re-familiarizing myself with 4e (haven't played nearly since release), I noticed a rule that hadn't caught my eye before. the one about players not being able to use more than one magic item daily power per day (at heroic, 2 and 3 at paragon and epic, respectively). Personally, though without experience on the matter, I think that's dumb. After thinking on it, I realised I shouldn't do away with it altogether.

    So I thought for my game maybe make it 1/2/3 magic item daily powers per encounter. They are still dailies, but players have a bit more flixibility in their use.

    Good idea or bad idea?

    Yeah, every 2 encounters or so you usually get a milestone and can use another magic item daily power you haven't used yet.

    Artificers have an ability that recharges used magic items too I think. If you wanted to make magic items usable more than once per day that might be something to work off of.

    for one thing I am really exhausted from all the shit we've been doing from the past few weeks (though I still want to play Saturday, of course)

    and for another, apparently we are going to a baby shower or something on Sunday

    I was thinking around 1? Possibly a bit later. I'd like to get as much gaming in as possible.

    Also, what kind of car did you get? We fixed the turn signal on my car (although I still need something to hold it in completely - otherwise it's still a bit loose)

    That's a lot of miles

    also don't do roleplaying or combat. Do... make it a tactical turn-based strategy game. With dystopian film noir elements. And flashbacks. Time-traveling flash backs that change your present character.

    You kidding? I can probably take this thing to 250k miles just fine. My '95 Saturn had about 200k before I crashed it, and it was doing quite well.
