Whoops! Browser Settings Incompatible This is everything you need to know about hidden, stealth, perception checks to counter it, targeting things you can't see, "do I take the mini off the board when the wizard casts invisibility"

Thanks...but as I said that info is already up in the Dragon article. I'm looking for anything describing how damage types work that isn't covered by resist/immune/vuln. Specifically, if there's some explicit rule statement that describes how extra damage that is typed is handled. If your...

hidden club Answers basically every question you could have regarding stealth.

Would you mind checking the rules for damage types? The rules for resistance, immunity, and vulnerability is up on Dragon already, but I'm hoping for some clarification on how damage types work, specifically summed versus combined damage types.

So, I'm currently involved in a group that's doing a Points of Light style campaign - we're based in a town and are doing minor tasks around it. None of us has much experience with campaign settings, but I'm really curious about using one. What are the advantages and disadvantages of using a...

I don't see any reason why you wouldn't be able to literally carry your familiar when you move. It can be in active mode on your shoulder - it's just that things can hurt it now. "Onoes, I can't move now that I have this parrot on my arm - I don't have enough move actions to move it with me!"...

Armor Proficiencies: Cloth, leather; light shields. Weapon Proficiencies: Simple one-handed melee, simple ranged, military heavy blade, military light blade. Implement: Ki focuses, weapons with which you have proficiency "Military heavy blade" includes both one-handed and two handed military...

This is something that I think 3e did better - gold felt more like an actual currency rather than a secondary form of experience that covers items instead of character level. In 4e, the game expects you to get X gold as you level up, and that you'll use that gold on magic weapons. In 3.5, yeah...

Is there a summary of the new stat options for old races?

Charge is a strange beast though in that it's a standard action with built-in movement. An immediate reaction could prevent you from getting whacked if the situation was not a charge and rather a move action and then standard action to attack. You'd have a reaction to the move, the target...

I actually tried this in the CB and it wouldn't let me. Battlefront Leader claimed it required chain proficiency, which went red after I took Archer Warlord. Now, I know the CB is not always correct, but it pretty clearly is what is RAI in this case.

The CS response is consistent with my theory that melee and ranged are singular targeting events and that area and close can affect multiple creatures with one targeting event.

Here's what may be a related question - do creatures take damage for being forcemoved into a Wall of Fire? Do they get a save? If yes and no, then the Seeker power would be infinite damage.

Yep, that would bring it back into the realm of sanity. Do you happen to have a source for that?

Am I reading this right? "Any creature that enters an arrow of misfortune's square takes damage equal to your Wisdom modifier and you slide the creature 1 square." If you put two of these next to each other (not too difficult to do), and some poor sap either moves into it willingly or is...
