I have not. I have been perusing the searchable database at WotC so far. I don't have access to a physical copy at the moment.
I didn't read it either before first playing; I just listened to the Penny Arcade 4th Edition adventures and I had most of it understood. So don't feel like you absolutely need it when you have the character builder.
I have a macro for crits on all my characters, at it's most basic level it's
EXTRA DAMAGE: Critical Strike
That way I can add in extra effects or damage types as necessary. So for Errik who had a fiery magical tome, it was
EXTRA DAMAGE: Critical Strike (fire)
Another one of my characters would knock a target prone on a critical strike, so I added that text to that macro too. I'm just sayin' it couldn't hurt.

OK, first attempt at macros. Hopefully I've got the right idea. I couldn't get macros to save if they didn't have a dice-roll listed, so I put a d20 dice roll on my special Move abilities with text to ignore the roll.
OK, I'll fix that then.

Hey, do you need me online tomorrow for the Game Table thing, or is that more for the new guys?

I'll be there then.
6pm tonight, then?
Er..yes, sorry. I automatically translated it into my time-zone. That's what I meant, though!
I'll be ready to go to test this stuff out. I also did one of these for Ralts.
Motivation
-Ralts is most often driven by signs provided, both directly and indirectly, to him by Lawbringer. Through years of training he has enabled himself to divine these from many sources, from the most mundane such as a shifting wind to the rarer and usually more explicit whispers and visions. He however does not simply follow these blindly and instead takes them into careful consideration before taking actions.
-Ralts has been given leave from his order recently and has begun traveling under the condition that while on his journey he adheres to the sects’ ways and heeds the will of Lawbringer. Few know of the reason behind his leaving save the high chancellor and the prime council whom he had to petition in order to venture beyond the orders lands while not on one of their tasks.
Personality
-Devout
-Pragmatic
-Disciplined
-Solemn
Likes
-Justice
-Meditation
-Simple clothing
Dislikes
-Excess
-Brash individuals
-Alcohol
-Those who oppose the will of Lawbringer.
Also this is what I picture him as. Only difference being that he should have a large sword as well.

Hey, I'm connected to GameTable but don't have the Ventrilo connection info.
TPK without you and Jay there tonight
That ogre was using loaded dice! Thanks for the run-through. I'm excited to get the ball rolling.
For being a fullblade it is +1d12 and magic adds another +1d6, so total dice would be +1d12+1d6
Heh, with only the three of you, the encounter level rose to level 9 for the final fight. Still it showed how battles separate and the role of a defender, and how to make death saves and coup-de-grace.

I look forward to exploiting that one Channelled Divinity. We just have to be fighting te same enemy. But it's nice. lol
On an oathed target that's just crazy for avengers.
I'll be good at handling minions and general crowd control, I think...as long as they aren't all too spread out.
time delayed double post?
Had Gusto and Jay been there last night, I think the party could easily have made a fight of the last encounter, which was designed to demonstrate front line and back line fighting. If you had a controller to keep the ogre and hobgoblins at bay, Bastion and Ralts could have easily dispatched the artillery and leader. Leaving the three big targets to conquer as a group.

Wow. I think I duplicated a post, deleted the duped post, and then ended up with no posts. Weird.
Anyway, I'm more suited for spreading my damage out, so minions and very basic crowd control will be my forte.

My build is defintely made to single out one enemy until he is dead, using the attacks that do hit me from others to make my own more damaging, and then moving on. Need to work on my defenses soon I think. I may take leather training as my next feat to help with that.
And divine guidance is great with its only downside being that the miss has to be on my oath target.
