E0M2: Bladeling Rogue

by Anthony "Deuce DM" Franchini

Race/Class/Build: Bladeling Rogue (Scoundrel, Artful Dodger)

Play-by-Post Maps Played:    E2M2: Mortal Kombat, E5M2: Army of Darkness

Number of times gibbed:                    1                                  3

Number of confirmed kills:                3                                  2

Inspiration:

Ever since the bladeling was introduced to me in 3E D&D, I have wanted to play this monster race bred for war by the god Bane, armed in razor-sharp spikes, who terrorizes the field of battle so much his enemies would rather run away from him than face him head-on.  FTDM was the obvious choice to run wild with this theme and soak the ground with the blood of my enemies.

I have had a chance to play this dungeoneer twice, once in the form of DC’s Joker, the other as the price-slashing Mega-Corporation Wal-Mart.

E0M1: Introduction

GREETINGS, MORTALS!

Often, a newcomer to Fourthcore Team Deathmatch becomes positively overwhelmed by the array of choices available when building a character. The D&D 4th Edition ruleset, at its base, is very complicated and has a mind-boggling number of options. When the complexities and nuances of a Deathmatch map are thrown into the mix, it can cause analysis paralysis and overload.

To help rectify that situation and encourage newcomers to the most exciting way to play Dungeon & Dragons ever made, we will be releasing a series of articles dubbed "Episode 0". These articles will each feature one character built for and tested in the trial, some might say the crucible, of a Fourthcore Team Deathmatch event. We will examine both the strengths and the weaknesses of the character build, highlighting where the build excels and where it is vulnerable. Care will be taken to discuss the effects of various maps; which maps the character will excel at, and which maps the character will have trouble with.

Veteran players wishing to share their valuable knowledge and cunning designs are kindly asked to write up an article in this fashion and send to Dungeon Master Ross for approval.
