Can you please direct me to the reference that says you can use a wand to transfer the [cold] keyword to other powers?The Wand of Frost or whatever, puts the [cold] keyword on Cloud of Daggers.

Specifically, the charts out of the 2e DM's Option: Hight level Campaigns IIRC.wooh

The reference is to a customer service ruling that has since been reversed. At the time that this spreadsheet was made, the ruling was in effect.
If you want to search for it, on gleemax it was known as "Doomsayer and the wand of Howling Doom" (or something very similar to that) question.
It means the Warlock does even less damage, and possibly the Wizard too. The ranger, Rogue and Fighter are not affected.So, does that mean that the OP (and associated spreadsheets) are no longer valid?
Another error I found is assuming that Lasting Frost can be inflicted by a melee attack with a Frost weapon. I don't believe this is the case, since a martial power does not have the cold keyword, even when the weapon deals cold damage.
FAQ said:When do a Magic Item's keywords apply?
If you use a magic item's power in conjunction with a power granted to you by your race or class, that item's keywords are added to the regular keywords of the power you are using. For example, if you are have a Flaming Weapon, and you use an at-will power to attack an enemy along with the at-will power of the Flaming Weapon, your attack will have the Fire keyword in addition to the normal keywords of your attack. You have to be using the powers of the weapon for those keywords to be added; simply using the magic item does not necessarily mean every keyword attached to a power of that item will be added.
Bolstering Blood only works with Wizard Encounter powers.Is there any way for the Warlock to reliably inflict 1 hit point of damage to himself every round? If so, then Hellish Rebuke becomes the highest damage At-Will power available, doing 3d6+(CON x2) per round without feats or enhancement bonuses. If not, then the Warlock has to wait until 11th level and the Blood Mage Paragon Path, in which case Bolstering Blood + Hellish Rebuke every round becomes a very high damage combo. In the meantime, there's always Armor of Agathys plus Hellish Rebuke spam at point-blank range, triggering OAs from the opponent (which would trigger Defender punishment as well).
Wow, interesting. I'm surprised that WotC supports combining Lasting Frost with Martial Powers. Seems overpowered to me, and counter to the intention of the feat (just an assumption of mine, but it seems like Lasting Frost was designed with Arcane powers in mind). I wonder if they'll reverse this decision. In the meantime, I think I'm houseruling this one away, since it contradicts the RAW anyway.FAQ said:When do a Magic Item's keywords apply?
