• Dazing Fist, Expert Sneak, and Opportunistic Sneak Attack are all Paragon feats. Sadly you only get 2 Paragon feats at this point. Gotta replace one with a Heroic feat.

So I guess we're not allowed to retrain then.

So I guess we're not allowed to retrain then.

Or retraining is restricted to during play; that's also quite possible.  

[Paidi tou Selini]

EDIT: 'kay, maybe I'm just drunk. I guess it does say quite specifically that you can trade heroic feats for paragon. Go ahead and keep your feat, Fish.

Melee Training only lets you add half the ability mod for damage. I see no reason not to let you use strength for damage still, since it's 1 higher, but that needs to be adjusted to +11 (though I guess the only time it will be relevant is for opportunity attacks or someone else granting you a basic attack).

I suspect it was because Kyt was going to be Warlording it up.

Also, Melee Training was erratad for that damage to what you listed now. I never even knew it myself! Fish, sorry for the recommendation!  

[Paidi tou Selini]

It's still not a terrible option, since it's giving +6 instead of +4 on the attack rolls... but yeah, a little less useful than it might be for those with 9 strength.  

[Kowsauni]

Well, decided on an elemental lock. I usually use point buy but I might as well roll the stats to see what I get.

• I don't care how badly you pronounce it, you are not allowed to be the size of a space rock.
  
• If you don't choose a language I'm picking Goblin for you.
  
• Dazing Fist, Expert Sneak, and Opportunistic Sneak Attack are all Paragon feats. Sadly you only get 2 Paragon feats at this point. Gotta replace one with a Heroic feat.
  
• Drowmesh Armor gives you +1 Reflex. Don't forget to include it.
  
• Melee Training only lets you add half the ability mod for damage.

• MEDEEYURR
  
• Guess we're good then?
  
• Fixed.
  
• Retraining for Defensive Advantage then. At this point I think my aim is to say "disregard his effectiveness normally, focus on CA farming and making CA transform him into a GOD."

i go the character put together in the character builder just need t convert to to a sheet.

One quick question. Could I possibly take implement focus? I know its in the essential books but its so much easier to use then playing around with superior implements and I feel it should have been in the player hand guide with weapon focus in the first place.  

[Psychofish]

And that's my money spent. Items are done with, and I picked up my second language and swapped out the feat. Fluff comes... soon? Alas, probably tomorrow (unless that's when I'm out picking up my license) since I'm working more today.  

[Psychofish]

Lin Shi, 'The Walker' should now be completely finished, fluff and all. I made a few minor mechanical adjustments since the last time we discussed the profile.

I exchanged Weapon Expertise for Versatile Expertise since it's strictly the same thing only better, and actually applies for Yin. I also noticed that the errata bumped up the progression on Expertise feats to 11 from 15, so I bumped up his attack stats by one to reflect it.

I also added meditation under rituals. It doesn't... do anything. There is no mechanic. Just felt like tossing that extra touch of flavor in somewhere that it wouldn't muss things up for practical use.

In the end, I went for Underdeep over Gawblin.  

[Kowsauni]

Here is the basic outline of my character Lysandra. I will write her backtsory once I have the OK on her build.

Oh! Sorry I missed this. I already denied this request to Joseph, so sadly I think I'm going to stick with that decision. As for your character...

• Fill out your attack workspace please. It'll make things easier on me when it comes time to record battle information.
  
• Don't forget about the +1 Acrobatics from your boots.
  
• Nothing preventing you from wielding the Dispelling Tome, but just remember that you don't have any lv6 wizard powers to use the item's power with.
  
• Echoing Dirge is the Gloom Pact at-will power. Not only do you not have that pact, I'm not sure why you would want to use it in place of a lv13 encounter power to begin with. sweatdrop
