Haven't seen anyone discussing this yet: The sample wizard and warlock have a superior implement, a crystal orb and a deathbone rod. Note that the wizard has a +7 modifier to attack and damage with 20 Int, and the warlock has +7 on will attacks and +6 on fort and ref attacks with 20 Char (and a...

How about if I am around a corner and have already used my move action. I cannot charge? (What defines "directly"?) Me XXXX XXXX XXXX Him

Note that Drow were also considered superb clerics and never once had a wisdom bonus. Edit: Sorry, except for 2nd ed where I recall females having one. But not 3rd for sure.

I like it. Infernal wrath still makes as much sense as draconic heritage for dragonborn.

-2/role usually works for insubstantial and regenerating monsters (brute becomes 8/level+1, soldier 6/level+1, lurker 4/level+1 etc.)

Monsters with substantial or regeneration seem to be based on the formula of (level+1) X (role HP -2) + Con, so for example wraith (5+1) X (lurker 6-2) + 13 Con = 37 dread wraith (25+1) X (lurker 6-2) + 20 con = 124 wailing ghost (12+1) X (controller 8-2) + 13 con = 91 tormenting ghost (21+1) X...

Aha, point taken.

The point would appear to be that when you hit an opponent with the hammer as a weapon (not as an implement), you still add your curse damage. Weapons other than a pact hammer do not allow you to do this, thus it is an added property.

According to Races and Classes, staff used to affect lines and cones, and indeed added a push effect to spells.

Amongst other things: Races grant benefits at levels 1-10 like paragon paths and epic destinies, and racial feats make an elf fighter and a dwarf fighter play very differently (Races and Classes, web previews) Wizard and fighter powers heavily dependant on weapon/implement and secondary...

What, like the Shield of the Barrier Sentinels having a level 9 version and a level 29 version which do absolutely the same?

Judging from the card backs in Dungeons of Dread and Against the Giants, monsters had less HP in earlier versions of the game (especially at higher levels and elites and solos). I can't quite figure out how they calculated them, but some monsters used to have as few as 30-50% HP (Shadow Hulk...

Reliable also isn't that big of a benefit, since you do nothing on a miss, other than keep your daily. Let's say the level 1 fighter misses his brutal strike twice and then finally hits on his third strike. Total damage over 3 rounds - 3W+Str. Had the ranger rolled exactly the same as the...

Though you kinda want to be taking those death saves slower, not faster (you'd have to make 2 in a round if a cleric gave you an extra save in a round)
