I work as a financial analyst for a large utility company. Ya, I'm a numbers geek for sure. In my spare time I play dodgeball, roleplaying games, and tend to hang out with the girlfriend and/or my friend group.

I play D&D 4E and love it. I'm a powergamer by default but I have been trying to force myself into following themes for my characters. So far I've created two characters that I'm quite fond of with one being a Barbarian/Fighter and the other being a Psion/Swordmage.

May 1	comment	How does one keep track of all of the different statuses, conditions, and mathematically-entwined stats of FFRPG? I am curious to know if you're comfortable with players using excel (i.e laptops) to track their characters as well as all of the temporary effects affecting them. I create all of my characters using an excel template I developed and as a consequence, I'm generally the one who tracks whatever for the GM. The spin off benefits are immediately noticeable as I never have to take more than a second to calculate my damage, to hit, buffs, debuffs, etc. and you can build in whatever temporary modifiers you need to. While I've only made templates for my D&D characters, you're more than welcome to them

Mar 30	comment	Dragonborn Item Interaction I'm not 100% convinced on the precedent thing for the Scion PP, but I can see your logic. Maybe talking with the GM might be the best route.
Mar 3	comment	How do attack penalties stack? Thanks that cleared up the debate in my head about summoned creatures.
Mar 3	comment	How do attack penalties stack? I'm planning on accepting your answer, but before I do I just want to confirm that my phantasmal killer attacking gets the -2 to hit from my psychic lock as you said "...it has the same effect as my dishearten above". This is important to my build as I'm thinking of taking a power "oni gift" that will weaken me but I'm hoping it won't affect my summoned creature's attack. So ultimately I just want clarification that my psychic lock feat will affect only me, or if it will include my summons (as I assume oni's gift would have the same rules apply).
Mar 3	comment	Max distance a character can move while slowed factoring in anything I don't have the compendium. Does this match what is in the phb page 277. That definition said the following: "Your speed becomes 2. This speed applies to all your movement modes, but it does not apply to teleportation or to a pull, a push, or a slide. You can’t increase your speed above 2, and your speed doesn’t increase if it was lower than 2. If you’re slowed while moving, stop moving if you have already moved 2 or more squares." It was the last part of this definition about stop moving that I was wondering about.

Feb 21	comment	Intimidation in D&D 4e - What can it be used for and what are the consequences for doing so? I thought that it addressed the question in King's original post of what is intimidate useful for. I was merely highlighting that each skill comes with the potential of several additional utility powers to choose from when leveling your character. @Oblivious Sage
Feb 21	comment	Can I double move or use a standard action after using Scion of Arkhosia's Overland Flight? So to recap the above for clarity for me: [DMG, page 48] This would have allowed me to do a standard action only after I have landed. [PHB2, page 223] This would have allowed me to do a standard action only after I have landed. [MM2, page XX] If you choose to use overland flight, you forego using your standard action period for your turn. Related, the MM2 definition is the one I should be using.

Feb 20	comment	Can I double move or use a standard action after using Scion of Arkhosia's Overland Flight? page 223: overland flight: An overland flight speed works like a fly speed with one exception: While you are in the air using your overland flight speed, you crash if you take any action other than a move action to use overland flight or a free action. [The big thing I question is the "while you are in the air" aspect... i.e. do a standard once i land...]
