My Rogue does this all the time with positioning strike. its flavor. When i count the squares mind you, i count it as a shift one diagonal square from in front of me, to my left, then diagonally back to directly behind me, so the rules are being followed. since forced movement doesnt provoke...

your correct. You can NOT take 20 in 4th edition. Take 20 no longer exists. And yes.. the lockpicking entry does contradict it, by allowing unlimited retries. So, by RAW, takeing 20 does not exist, except for lockpicking. Personally.I am ok with it... you SHOULD be able to fail at skills...

This is why i specifically seperated the two discussions. and probably shouldnt have gone into detail with the warlords fervor thing. They have nothing to do with each other First this thread was discussing flaming sphere provoking opportunity attacks. Thats a question that needs to be...

and so, based on that perspective your three key feats/powers burning blizzard - yes... "damage rolls" ...check Warlord favor - yes... "Attack rolls".....check White raven onslaught - no .... "makes a successful attack" nope.. the wizard did not do that after the initial action. I would rule...

Damn, Kieth rules. I had decided with the switch to 4e i would go back to a core dnd experience for the first campaign. But with sweet material like this... i have to wonder if taking an eberron break was the right decision heh. Eberron got us back into 3rd edition when we had long since given...

Nawwww, its easy.. Say you got 5 creatures in the area of effect, thats 6 possible outcomes.. None Save, 1sv, 2sv, 3sv, 4sv, 5sv.. First you take the attack roll, compare it the defense roll and with a slide ruler, calculate the likelihood of each occurrence coming to pass. (rounding to the...
