Still looking for players? Hey Aristotle, I moved to Leesburg this past year and am looking to join a gaming group. I travel quite a bit (close to half the year) but could be a regular when I'm in town. Definitely want to give 4e another go. tumblerocks/AT/hotmail/DOT/com for anyone...

I hadn't read the entire thread either. Just bookmarked it when I saw it months ago and moved on. Having just read it, I'm reminded of a similar instance where one of the developers gave an interpretation on these boards that Rain of Blows fighter power grants two attacks, four with...

Not that I wanted to throw in some controversy, BUT ; ) WotC Customer Service has ruled on this very question, per: CustServ Response You only need to read the first post to get their response. Bottom line, you get NO bonus damage to secondary damage rolls, including Rain of Steel. Let the...

Breaking news. Rob Heinsoo, lead designer of D&D 4th edition core rules, has commented on this very topic. Per his Barbarian Essentials article in Dragon #380 (requires DDI membership), Dungeons & Dragons Roleplaying Game Official Home Page. Here's a snippet on his take (hope I'm not...

Hmmm, you could also shift "for free" (no move action) following a charge with Boots of Adept Charging. Also reminds me of the swordmage's Sword of Assault PP [Arcane Power]... that encourages charging via AP. Based on the word order, "AFTER you resolve a charge attack..." it sounds like you...

In the situation SigmaX0 described, you definitely should be able to perform rampage or any other free actions in addition to the action granted by an Action Point. Taking an Action Point is the exception to being allowed to take "further actions" following a charge. From PHB p288... in...

One question that I failed to ask Customer Service at the time was whether a critical property like that on a rending weapon would grant the extra MBA if critting on a charge attack. For me, the answer is yes. Why -- because it's an effect that doesn't require 'spending' a [free] action...

I asked Customer Service about this two months ago ('Dzance' is my handle on WotC boards) and got a definitive response from Sam per the following link at the end of the first post. Formatting is a bit messed up (there should be strikethroughs, Sblocks, etc.)...

Can't play weekly (I travel a lot) but I live in Manassas, and would love to join a regular 4e campaign. Even if I could only join on occaision ('guest' status?) due to other commitments.

Count me in! As a former Enworld afficionado and one of the attendees at D&D Experience, I'm psyched about the new edition. I should be returning from an overseas trip the day before (6 June), and may be a little jet-lagged... so please put me in for the morning slot. I also played both LFR...

Were I DM, I'd rule "no". Too much cheese factor. If nothing else I'd invoke the "3.5 rule"... Pre-3.5e non-updated stuff (before Dragon #309) isn't designed to be meshed with 3.5e stuff... at least in my book. I don't think I'd permit ability score bonuses of the same type to stack...

I'd rule the same... although it makes the feat a lot less appealing. Especially considering the existence of Imrpoved Rapid Shot (in CW).

English is messed up. Description as is certainly lends to differing interpretations. Hope the 3.5e team can be a little more clear and precise in the wording of like passages. Combining the preceding sentence with the last sentence is how my brain processed that information... associated...

Telekinesis fix? Any insight into 3.5e telekinesis? I've always disliked the ambiguity of the violent thrust option. As written, it permits a CR 1 githyanki to hurl 4000 shuriken at an opponent... *really* hope the 3.5e team doesn't overlook this overpowered spell in the revision.
