I'm building a 4e Hybrid Battlemind/Monk. I'm building him at level 1, and level 30, so I know where I want him to go, power and feat wise. I've finished level one (willing to post all stats and powers if you guys wanna see), but while building the level 30, I've come to a weird place. Now the character is based around the manipulation of Space and especially Time, and I'm currently selecting my Paragon tier feats. But none are great to me. Any suggestions?
He uses only cloth armor by the way, so I'm not interested in gaining new armor, just looking for ideas, help?
I'm thinking of getting the two feats that increase my attack and damage rolls, but that leaves 4 more that I have no clue what to do with
Video game or? Just curious
This is tabletop :p and thanks for the move ;)
My character also Multiclasses into Psion to gain the Time Bender Paragon Path

I never got the chance to play table top D&D but always thought I would enjoy it. Not sure my wife could handle another nerd hobby tho lol.
Have fun......sounds cool. I always loved the monk class in the D&D video games. His unarmed damage combined with an infinite haste accessory just turned him into a taz-manian devil of punches......especially late game like level 20 I think his damage die went to 1-20.
Yeah I've always loved monks, table or otherwise. My character uses a Bastard Sword and as a monk specializes in kicks. He doesn't use punches much, but he uses aerial combos. He doesn't actually fly or teleport (although powers say otherwise), he actually bends space and reality in order to move distances faster, along with slowing down time.
On paper he isn't the strongest, but in battle what he lacks in some damage (which can still be a lot), he makes up with in controlling the battlefield. Lots of powers where he moves enemies where he wants them (and at later levels literally removes them from the universe). He's so much fun to play with :)
So far I've just found Herioc tier feats that I want in paragon tier... So I've got
Quick Draw
Weapon expertise
Weapon focus
Improved initiative
Two more..
Did you say you multiclassed psion? Kudos to you for psionics!
If you tell me the psion specialization I might be able to help you there, but I only played monks in 3.5.
How much does it cost to get into D&D?
It depends... Technically, you only need a pencil and paper, maybe some figurines. You might also want some map pieces, and if you're new, prewritten dungeons. The books are probably the most expensive, at $40 apiece.
You can just download books as PDFs :p and some playgroups don't use pieces, just imagination , so you could do it for free
Yeah, I dm a 3.5 group. We only have the Player's handbook.

Also, the Battlemind, Monk, and Psion are all Psionic based classes in 4th, so I'm actual 100% Psionic lol but thanks
Ah. I play a eladrin wizard in a 4e game, but I don't know 4e psionics.

They're in players handbook 3 and Psionic Power :)
I've always loved psionics. I've only ever built one non Psionic character, ever, and he was a Ranger who dual wielded Halberds... Lol
I've basically finished him now, and I'll be posting his level one stats shortly
Cool, I'll check them out.

He's a fairly well rounded character. Can you use any of your powers without power points? What is your racial power?

Yes I can. Power points are only used for Augmentable attacks, which World slipping advances is my only one. I can still use it, but augments add modifiers or special abilities which I can't use yet
My racial power is Shadow Jaunt. It's an encounter power that takes my move action, and it teleports me 3 squares and I'm insubstantial until the start of my next turn
The only part that's kinda flubbed is the "my weapon is also my implement" thing. Technically that's not allowed, (I don't think?) but I have to have an implement, and the only thing of Ouroboros' I have is himself as my sword
I have yet to actually play a campaign with this character, so it will depend on my DM/GM if he/she will allow that. If not, I'll have Ouroboros give him a necklace or ring that can be my implement
Later on my other flub is that at level 19, Ouroboros changes from a Magic Weapon enchantment automatically to the Space Bending Weapon (Adventurers Vault #2). Which gives the ability once per day to bend reality and hit a foe from a long distance away as if they were melee weapon feet apart, I'm hoping my DM /GM does that too
Also Ouroboros isn't in 4e, he's only found in 3.5 (no idea what book), but it's no biggie because worshipping him doesn't actually grant any powers, so if anything I'm nerfing myself there
If anyone else has any 4e Characters I'd love to see them!
I'll post my wizard later.
And my wizard has a feat that uses a longsword implement, so it should be fine.

Is it only for Longswords? If not I gotta get that feat
Sadly, yes. It is eladrin specific as well.
I'll download the pdf when I get home and check out your stats, I might even build a comparison character! :) School wifi is slow.
