Given that the text describes the additional attack as "Strength vs AC and deals 1[W]+STR damage" it is fair to think that what was meant was "make a melee basic attack." RAI, to me, seems clear enough.

I don't like unaligned, because unaligned is not the same as neutral. However, I understand that it's best kept as such for simplicity. But I'm still making unaligned and neutral two different alignments in my campaign.

I noticed the summary at the beginning with all the class features of the Artificer lists his implements as "orb, staff, rod and wand" yet later on, when detailing his implements the orb is left out. I thought it was a bit fishy to have someone be able to use all available implements. I think...

Can't we let the deluded, possibly autistic or Asperger's afflicted guy alone? He can play however he wants to, as long as he doesn't jam other threads with his version of the "correct" rules. We have all determined that Effects are indeed separate from attacks. Maybe this thread should be closed.

Yeah. They are. But like I said, I doubt they'll ever fix it, since it is such a glaring mistake they may not want to admit it. But you never know.

There is a second Warlock power that was errata'd to have a save ends effect and is a Fear effect as well. That brings the grand total powers with the Fear keyword that have an effect that can be ended with a save to four I believe. Across all classes. I think earlier in design the Star Pact...

Woah woah woah woah WAIT Pact boons are powers now? That makes no sense. Immediate reactions make no sense! It even says on the Fate of the Void power that it's stackable! I'm chalking this one up as a goof in the transition to the compendium.

Hmm... I see what you mean now. Some better clarification would do much good.

Maybe I was not clear. Nowhere in the compendium entry for Warlock do the words "Immediate Reaction" appear. The word "immediate" is used, yes, but this by itself does not imply an immediate reaction. Moreover, on further inspection, the word only precedes the benefits of both Fey and Infernal...

Most sustainable powers have an "until end of encounter/5 mins" clause. The fact that invisibility doesn't seems deliberate. I really don't see a problem with it.

Something happening immediately =/= immediate interrupt/reaction. Otherwise, the stacking of the Star Pact boon would be pointless.

What if he already has skill focus?

Not to derail this thread, but why shouldn't it? As written, it seems to trigger with every FotV instance, and there's no funny writing that would suggest otherwise. It turns FotV from circumstancial to actually useful. I don't see a problem with that, Star Pact needs all the help it can get.

Another idea: Holy Symbols gained as treasure are pried from the cold dead hands of fallen clerics/paladins that just so happened to worship your deity. Evil clerics with evil deity symbols fall out of this rule, but I don't think they're counted towards treasure packages. Disenchant those.

This is also a good way to bump a monster on the threat scale; just let him use a second wind. For maximum effect, use it with solo baddies.
