Not sure what you're trying to say here. Portal was Valve and Valve. Not really a small developer.

Well okay

Still, I think it's moderately interesting.

I think you still can if you burn a feat, it's called Martial Cross-training I think, replaces a usage of power strike with a fighter encounter power. I think minimum level's 3 because it needs Improved Power Strike.
^This. And Blackguards don't get Encounters, but do get dailies.

They get dread smite multiple times instead of encounters, right?

Interesting. I'm thinking I'll probably make a desert wind monk as my back-up character in Scep's game, and it's useful to know what class variations are bad.

Are there other class variations that get to choose the mainline class' regular powers (like how blackguards or slayers can't)?

My thoughts are that it depends on what you're looking for; berserkers aren't pure strikers while barbs are.

Predix: Kan says no (because he was arguing this on SA just a while ago).

The argument was that their flexibility to switch between striker and defender isn't all that flexible because they can't go back to striker later if they need it.

xfd, it just so happens that you only battle those supposed liar monsters in threads where those monsters are attacking the poor Wii maiden.
So hey Vlado, do you think LS is lying here? Just gimme a straight up answer, yes or no. And don't try to dodge by addressing someone else either, please.

I haven't called anyone a liar. LS IS a pretty biased Nintendo fan, though. Quite clueless regarding the industry, too, as his posts in the past few years clearly indicate. But the two usually go hand-in-hand.

Oh, I thought you were saying Val could negate forced movement or something. Since I have an ability named Unstoppable Lightning I thought it would be appropriate.

Anyway me fighting Val would be a complete toss-up. I win initiative without question, and if we start close enough, I immediately Lightning in the Blood, move adjacent, Shock Spiral, Action Point, and Thunder Leap in place. That's 32 + 23 + 5 + 31.5 + 31.5 if all hit, plus another 23 at the start of his turn, which should prove easily fatal. If all hit. With my +17 attack bonus against NADs, I beat his REF 80% of the time, and his FORT 60% of the time. I also have Good Timing for a reroll, and to succeed in that strategy, I need one hit from Shock Spiral and two from Thunder Leap. The odds, including Good Timing, should be pretty even.

Even better, if I miss, I can still get one more chance to finish him off because he can't attack me without incurring Vengeance is Mine and one last counterattack.

So it's very likely my win, actually.

EDIT: ... Unless he can chain off his Strikebacks. That would be a problem.

Unless Brona got up to some flying shenanigans, I'm pretty sure Valerian would win that fight.
Oh no, that wasn't what I meant. You see, Brona and Valerian can both ignore resistances and immunities to their attacks at this point. Anything short of infinite HP is the not-really-immovable object, and they are the unstoppable force.

Ah. Well, we will, no doubt, see. It would be a shame if you were dazed constantly.

Does your client work again Kanz?

Dammit. I wanted to make the new topic.

A Buddha asks "What is the sound of one hand clapping?"
Amy asks "Would you like me to shoot the remaining hand?"

A Buddha asks "Does a dog have Buddha nature or not?"
The party asks "Can we make this dog part of our crew?"

A Buddha says "If you meet the Buddha, kill him"
The party has probably already done so.

So you see, we are just full of zen koan in our games, you just have to look in the right places. Like the universe we came from. So many dead zen people you do not even know!

Yeesh, I almost just got cut out of Thursday's session to watch a required class movie about Buddhism. Would have been so mad.

It IS glorious, but it also means that I'm incapable of seeing that name without thinking of one of my favorite characters. Therefore I will be forced to imagine this person as a wine-guzzling loli with cutesy nonsense speech from now on.
