Do Multi-classed caster characters get access to rituals?
Re: Warlord's Inspiring Word, it is exactly the same as Healing Word, as far as I remember.
For rituals, you have to take a feat to be able to use them (the feat requires training in Arcana or Religion, so multiclassing into Cleric/Wizard helps out). Wizards start with a few Rituals known (and presumably Clerics do too but I don't recall). Anyone with the feat can use them though, so if you want a Ritual using Fighter, saddle up, 'cause you just got him!

Are you running SoW and are interested in getting some ideas on the overarching plot?
Looking for better ways to tie the disparate modules together?

Re: domains, no sign of anything like it. However, each god had a feat that gives a worshipper a different use for their Channel Divinity ability. The KotS Cleric has the one for Bahamut, for example.
I noticed some of that in an earlier post, too. It looks cool and frees domains up for me to use as my houseruled alternate alignment system. Win-win!
I might have missed this somewhere along the line, but I was wondering how the Warlord's Inspiring Word power works. Is it identical to the Cleric's Healing Word, as predicted, or does it behave somewhat differently?

Clerics get Gentle Repose and the 1st level ritual of their choice added to their ritual book at 1st level, Wizards are the masters of ritual though:
Quote:
Rituals: Your book contains three 1st-level rituals of your choice that you have mastered.
At 5th level, and again at 11th, 15th, 21st, and 25th level, you master two more rituals of your choice and add them to your spellbook. Any ritual you add must be your level or lower.

These make me cranky. This is setting specific info thats taking up space in a book, and a lot of feat space. Out of all the things that have been mentioned, these make me the least happy, because there just aren't a lot of options for a setting other than the nebulous default one: toss out, cherry-pick mechanics, or try to come up with something similar.

Eh. They aren't THAT setting specific. I mean, sure your world doesn't have Bahamut. But if you have some kind of LG defender of the weak type god, giving their followers the ability to take Bahamuts Channel Divinity feat (changing the name to Armor of WhatsHisFace) seems like cake to me.
To be fair though, I don't get riled by fluff so YMMV.

Cool! Thanks for clarifying that for me (I'd likely have forgotten to check by the time I make it home from work today!)

Could I get a sense of the powers a bow ranger has access to in the heroic tier? Also, is there a way for a non-rogue character to use his Dex bonus instead of his Str bonus as the +hit attribute in melee (via using a certain weapon, feat, whatever)?
Here's a question from a guy sitting at work without his books to those sitting somewhere with them. How dare you make me so jealous of you? :P
Ok ok, real question. Is there Weapon Finesse still? Or is this built into certain weapons? Or is this simply built into certain class powers? A friend asked me at lunch and I couldn't answer ...
Thanks!

here's a midheroic level ranger ranged power
Quote:

One well-placed arrow leaves your enemy hunched over and howling in pain.
Daily ✦ Martial, Weapon
Standard Action Ranged weapon
Target: One creature
Attack: Dexterity vs. AC
Hit: 3[W] + Dexterity modifier damage, and the target is weakened (save ends).
Miss: Half damage, and the target is not weakened.
and for using dex for attacks, I posted this one earlier
Quote:
Armor-Piercing Thrust Fighter Attack 3
You drive your weapon through a weak point in your foe’s defenses.
Encounter ✦ Martial,Weapon
Standard Action Melee weapon
Target: One creature

Weapon: If you’re wielding a light blade or a spear, you gain a bonus to the damage roll equal to your Dexterity modifier.
the fighter has quite a few powers that do things like this differing based upon weapon choice, haven't checked for other classes using dex for melee, will look and post again
Could I get a sense of the powers a bow ranger has access to in the heroic tier?
Excruciating Shot (Daily, 5). 3[W]+Dex damage, target is weakened (save ends). Miss: Half damage, no weakening.

Weird Question: Obviously the Bard is slated for the next PH, but do any of the current skills allow you to perform, as in for money, like in 3.5?
Hmm, this brings up another question I just thought of...
With the 8 power sources now known, which one would most likely fit the Bard?

Here is a request, if someone wants to take the time.
I would love to see an Elf Cleric of Corellon (to replace the half-elf cleric from KotSF), done in a similar style, with level up powers for 2nd and 3rd levels.
Hmm, this brings up another question I just thought of...

Arcane, I'd say. In fact, I think the designers have referred to the Bard as an Arcane Leader.
