No, Kanz. Blazing Arc is a power, not a property. The firewind blade procs on hit and is NOT a power.

Rather, let me rephrase that.

The power of Blazing Arc is a free action triggered power that happens when you make an attack.

The property of Firewind Blade is an innate thing that just happens when you hit with an attack while wielding that weapon.

--

It depends, but the way this particular combination works is...

Firewind Blade's property inherently goes off when the weapon is used in an attack that hits.

Blazing Arc Ki focus' item power is an at-will free action when you make a melee attack.

An attack with a weapon substituting a ki focus' power is legit, because both instances of triggers are being met.

Actually learned something cool while looking at stuff on character builder, I can pick up a Firewind Blade instead of a Flaming Weapon... and then take a Blazing Arc Ki focus which has the same effect as a flaming weapon, which lets Firewind blade churn out 5 fire damage to anything adjacent to me for each hit with it. Neat!

Guys y'all don't seem to realize that uploading large videos to youtube takes time because youtube's service is terrible. Not to mention last-minute editting fixes and all that, what's probably going to happen is parts 2 and 3 are going to be released in 2 or 3 day increments.

lol so hay, double post, but now that we're back in Sayaberg I want to buy these:

Dazzling Longsword +3 (25,000 gp)
Siberys Shard of Radiance (paragon tier) (17,000 gp)

Chill Wind Longsword +3 (25,000 gp)
Siberys Shard of Merciless Cold (paragon tier) (13,000 gp)

Singing Longsword +3 (21,000 gp)

Hungry Spear +1 (520 gp)

Vance believes he's reached his physical limit... so he's going to compensate by adding more weaponry to his arsenal.

(I mathed it out, this leaves me with 31102 GP)

Retraining: Mark of Warding for Quick Draw

It's fine, it was my fault for keeping you up so late lol

Edit: Also nah, +4 to healing surge value isn't that useful for me, my base surge value is fine as it is, and I basically get an untyped +2/+4/+6/+8/+10 etc, etc, for each surge I have already spent.

Edit edit: Oh right, CPU, we all got item vouchers.

Ohhh... I don't like that notion very much at all. Maybe I'm overthinking it. I'll retain hope that it doesn't hinge on psychic knowledge of the one solution to everything in the back of the DM's head. Lots of bad memories of crap like that :(

It does hurt them pretty bad minus their basic damage numbers. About the only person that goes into melee it doesn't bone is me, since I normally WANT things to sit still anyway. But my damage in comparison is pitiful unless the target's already bloodied.

That said I've come to like my niche of "tanky CC", I'm like Alistar except not a moocow!

GUYS GUYS GUYS GUYS GUYS

Okay so

stay with me here

Remember Fey Corgis?

You do right?

Well

Okay stay with me here

What if I make a Hengeyokai

Who was some elf's dog for 200 years

And then became a person because magic

and he was a Corgi as a dog

So I am a Corgi that can turn into a person

I AM THE FEY CORGI!

Edit: I'm halfway serious with this. My name will be Scooter because that is what my owner named me, and it is the name I will INSIST upon being called as a person. This is my character for our next campaign assuming there is one.

So if we ever do wind up playing another campaign after this on I think I wanna try my hand at party skillmonkey. Found a paragon path I never found out about that is really cool for it.

Alternatively I might just make a Touhou wizard that shoots magic missiles everywhere and turns combat into a bullet hell!

Well it's technically a leader power but this falls in line with the Warden part of Barbarian/Warden in that if the entire team is bulkier, you are defending them from damage without doing anything. So it's kind of like being a better defender which is half of the equation anyway. Sort of.

"Resorting to this".

It still astounds me how you underplay how goddamn ridiculous you already are, what's a feat to snatch a utility power ontop of all your other completely unbalanced BS? :p

--
Accel R8

If I remember right, no. It's just an encounter power standard action.

Using it out of combat is goddamn genius.

Vanessa Wishlist

The Ineffable Secret of Death +4 (Dragon Magazine 404)
Diamond Cincture (Paragon Tier) (Mordenkainen's Magnificent Imporium)
Ring of Agile Thought (Paragon Tier) (Adventurer's Vault 2)

149 hp this level, Dex modifier is now +5, and I've taken back skill training in Diplomacy and also gained a neat encounter power move action that lets me shift 3 squares even through enemy occupied squares. Oh and it's an even numbered level so +1 to goddamn everything. Good level!

Decided against boon, obtained Strongheart Tattoo (Paragon).

Now every time I spend a healing surge I get a cumulative 2 more HP with it.

So my last surge of the day packs +20 hp. Jeez. Survivability!

WISHLIST

Level 18: Circlet of Indomitability (paragon tier)
Level 20: Ring of Agile Thought (paragon tier)
Level 20: Diamond Cincture (paragon tier)
Level 21: Magic Ki Focus +5
Level 21: Amulet of Protection +5
Level 22: Dwarven Nagascale Armor +5

These are mostly for my own reference as many of them I can't even get with item vouchers yet.

Edit: Also, what do you think? Trade Combat Agility for Combat Superiority? Even though my wisdom bonus is +0, it's much simpler to remember "Your opportunity attacks disrupt movement." and moving around too much as the defender seems like a poor idea anyway.

Whatever, bro. Like I said, make your own list if you think your opinion is objectively better than my opinion.

--
Accel R8
(This space for rent)!

There is no such thing as "over ranking", it's my opinion. Make your own list if you don't like this one.

And let's be honest, it's the nature of the game for NPCs that aren't on our side that refuse to be agreeable to simply wind up as combat encounters. And as much as the party gets villainized, those few guys that willingly help us and try to help move things along are nice to have.

And beyond that, have you not seen Saya's interactions with Kirie and Val? She is a well-established character from the Twilight that has dynamically changed for the better who is WAY more of a character than a plot device.

--

Bob: I still like Bob. Even if he's kind of a "running gag" NPC with little weight behind him, I still find him entertaining when he makes an appearance, which is something that is important to my opinion. With that said, I suppose the gag has run dry enough that I've come to realize it shouldn't outweigh characters with more thought put into them.

Kim: And despite what I just said, ceiling Kim is watching and is hilarious. And hey, even without that I do just like Kim's character, someone willing to help without question, she's a nice gal.

Gwen: I'll admit it. I think she's goddamn adorable. Maybe I'm weird? Other than that, Gwen remains something of a goal for the party. Something to accomplish. I'd love to see her develop into more of a "real" character.

Rhea: Ana's probably going to hate me for this, but I feel obligated to bump Rhea down a few spots because my initial impressions of her just seem to be off. I don't want to start up the argument as to why I think she's way more thickheaded than she ought to be, but at the very least she DOES still come across as sane, which is more than can be said of some others. She's not objectively evil, but I have begun to think of her as a bit more selfish than I had originally viewed her. She's still interesting to me as a character, just... less so than when she originally made her debut?

Oa (That was her name, right? I really hope I didn't get that wrong somehow. I'm dumb.): She's a glimpse into something we've seen little of: Gods. We've met Edash and he was a pretty cool guy but he was the only other one. I want to know more about this world, and thus the deities interest me. Aside from that she's also enabled us to fix a stupid mistake we had made with no strings attached. She was reasonable and trusted us even though she had very little reason to do so. I like that sometimes, as utterly villainized as the party gets sometimes those few important NPCs that actually give us the benefit of the doubt are refreshing.

Aluxial: Totally has nothing to do with her new ultra-moe art (okay maybe a little). Now that I've put some thought into it, Aluxial is interesting to me for one reason, she's something the party had once feared, but got herself utterly shut down by Rael, and was perhaps the first real indication of how big a deal "the big bad" really is. Beyond that she is also one of our bigger "TAKE THAT" victories, having been one of Rael's favorite treasures. It's spiteful but hey, a win is a win, especially when it's a win against the utterly unwinnable. And I won't lie, Kirie-Aluxial antics are pretty damn funny.

Daley?: I feel bad for being so awful with names, but that's just me being awful with names. The NPC that we avoided combat with REPEATEDLY when Ana seemed to be banking on a combat encounter. She intrigues me because she seems an odd fit amongst the fanatics she's grouped with. I want to see more of her, and until I do I suppose I can't fairly rank her higher, but she seems promising.
