Page 176 Monster Manual: “Lich” is a monster template that can be applied to nonplayer characters. This is a rule. Monsters do not play by the same rules as PCs. This is a core concept to 4e. You are not a monster NPC, so you cannot cast it on yourself. i.e. if your PC did cast on it on...

Let me emphasize here. Your stats are obviously wrong. In order to have those stats, you needed to have started with the following attributes, even assuming you had the Soul Sword: STR = 8, CON = 14, DEX = 14, INT =20, WIS = 22, CHA = 13. If your Con/Dex/Cha are those stats, one of Int/Wis has a...

Your numbers don't add up. You can't as an example have a 28 Int/30 Wis, particularly with Archlich Epic Destiny. Also, Lich Template is for monsters only, not for PCs. Use the ritual and become an NPC. "“Lich” is a monster template that can be applied to nonplayer characters. See the Dungeon...

ok, so was a bit asleep when I answered. 2/3rds goes up faster than 1/2, which is not great. but... The expected DCs at level 26 are: 22/29/39. Meaning a variety of different things: A person with a decent heal check can also roll during the extended rest to treat disease and someone is likely...

Updated Eye in the Sky Utility 2 to Dark Blue with Sky Blue if the PC has a good melee basic—how the power works is enemies will often provoke—Monk shifts adjacent, enemy then tries to enter square, that provokes an OA.

Mummy Rot is now defined as this, as a level 21 disease. Check: At the end of each extended rest, the target makes an Endurance check if it is at stage 1 or 2. 9 + two-thirds mummy's level or lower: The stage of the disease increases by one. 10 + two-thirds mummy's level-14 + two-thirds mummy's...

And a few sample builds for it: Given that there tends to be some free feats given out in many 4e games to fix the feat tax problem of missing a +1/2/3 to hit/NADs, I've given them in most cases a free feat or two in response to that. If that isn't happening, the feats in question are almost...

I've revised the Seeker handbook here. This is a discussion thread about the new handbook for those on EnWorld. It is also linked to in the WotC Rescue Handbook thread. Hope people enjoy, I've had a lot of fun playing a variety of 4e Seekers and wanted to revise.

Revised the Seeker's Handbook to emphasize more of a secondary blaster aspect to Seekers and why that makes them better controllers. Included some builds there too.

Blistering Flourish doesn't actually do fire damage, deleted 5 points of damage for the initial attacks because of it on the low level damage build.

Because the action cost in combat should be too expensive to use and out of combat, the amount healed doesn't matter.

Yup, 20 gp when expected treasure is 10,000 gold...very similar to the 5e problem of treasure hordes being 3000 gold from 6-10 and healing potions costing 50 gp and in PHB.

Noted the weirdness of Potions of Cure Light Wounds, 20 gp for healing 1d8+1 hp. There's a certain point in paragon+ where this is super cheap, but it potentially gets accused of being too cheesy.

Yeah, just in general, they're not great, though they can lead to some fun things. But a handbook is about the ease of general optimization.

I think one of the things to examine is why you might be using a particular power over other choices and what that means given those weapons given those classes. First off, two-handed +3 proficiency military weapons are generally bad. So is Bastard Sword for Rangers, especially if you're...
