    Questions about the Unseen servant

    the Unseen Servant definitely can fly. The ritual creates a conjuration, so we check the Conjuration keyword entry for how the unseen servant can move. (PHB3 page 216 or Heroes of the Forgotten Kingdoms 73 or a few other sources.) There, you learn that conjurations explicitly do not need to...

    Ranger (Scout) has a terrible Melee Basic Attack?

    Apparently, you're missing the "Attack Finesse" class feature granted at level one that lets the scout use Dex for melee basic attacks. (Heroes of the Forgotten Kingdom, page 181).

    Player query about Actions...

    I'd guess that your player is confused by the Double Move rules (PHB 284). That's the only place I can think of where you can add two Move Actions to get something else (or any other adding of two actions to get something else). But regardless of where the error comes from, it's an error...

    D&D 4E 4e Iconics?

    You can still find Regdar around, usually dying, dead or being resurrected from the dead. He's a statue in the Medusa picture, and he's being raised from the dead in the PHB ritual chapter.

    Looking to turn runepriest into "controller"

    Get the at-will that immobilizes. Then get World Serpent's Grasp (and/or get melee allies to take it). Now you have an at-will that knocks prone. Add Vicious Advantage to the mix as well (also good for your allies to take).

    Replacing regeneration?

    You could add "and the wolf gains 5 temporary hit points" to the hit line of any appropriate attack power, which would sort of be like healing but not exactly the same (no going from 1 hp to full). And of course that wouldn't work if they've been hit by silver. Possibly they only gain temp HP...

    Dungeon 195 - Bestiary: Flowers in the Darkness

    Anyone running a 4e conversion of Dungeonland and/or Beyond the Magic Mirror should include some vampire roses, tended to by the Queen's insane servants. "We'll paint the roses red... with blood!"

    Walls, line of sight, and obscuring terrain

    The imaginary lines from the corners in in the DMG, not the PHB. It's also in the compendium, in the glossary entry for "Determining cover for ranged attacks" (there's also a briefer writeup for melee attacks).

    Can you use sensing eye to determine the sight of sensing eye?

    It's true that the power is personal. And Personal powers have less clearly defined mechanics than other powers ("Personal" doesn't appear in the glossary, for example.) But the general rule is that a power needs line of effect to affect a square or something in that square. Teleportation...

    Can you use sensing eye to determine the sight of sensing eye?

    You guys are all getting line of sight confused with line of effect. Line of Sight determines if you can see a target square, but you need line of effect to actually target your power somewhere. Think about a ranger firing a bow into a stinking cloud: the cloud blocks sight, but not effect...

    Athas located in the Feywild? In the Abyss? or in the Nine Hells?

    I recognize that making Athas might require reworking or retconning some of the established canon, but it would not take much. The high level backstory with Rajaat and Borys just needs nudged slightly. It would also probably mean that anyone who went outside the Ringing Mountains or Sea of...

    Athas located in the Feywild? In the Abyss? or in the Nine Hells?

    A few facts: -The Dragon of Tyr was central in slaughtering the previous big bad guy (whose name I cannot recall) and to making Athas the blasted wasteland it is today. -Athas is inimical to life. -the other planes cannot be accessed from Athas except by passing through The Grey, a plane of...

    When does the character builder get updated?

    I don't know how I missed the updated article until now. Apologies for the inaccurate info. I also don't know how they let the Hybrid Executioner still augment basic attacks. That was the most abuse-able thing in the article, and keeping it will make it nearly impossible to make a hybrid...
