Aw man. We definitely haven't been playing the same game for the last 5 years... I don't think the 8 or 10 to attack is what will break your monster. The powers it gets will do that instead. With a bit of practice, you'll learn to eyeball it I think.

If you make sure the missing line isn't missing for balance reasons, I agree with you

I think one of the significant variables is your players' ability to create an effective party. If their min/max-fu is strong and their cooperation works, you might be able to send foes their own level against them. Basically, I think you will have to try it out and see. Worst case scenario is...

I think you should go higher than immobilized for that effect. Immobilized just means they can't leave their square. Stunned, perhaps? I don't plan on calculating cover for anything short of downright petrification. But then again, I like to stick to the rules as written (or intended), and I'm...

Almost always. As someone mentioned, STR paladins at level 9 are out of luck.

If they were using wizard powers, their hit-bonus would be int-based wouldn't it? So we have the cha-based class that uses int to attack. Truly, bards will hold to their tradition of epic suckage worthy (only) of songs and ballads :cool:

But then you'd most likely just houserule the feats that negated the -4, and all you'd get was the old feat tax on ranged characters. I have a problem with the lack of 'cover' only insofar as characters are static, which only happens when fighting basilisks and other creatures of that sort.

No, it's an interrupt. So you smack them and if they stop, they never move in the first place.

I can't see exactly where it's written that invisibility breaks when you attack.

You're right. I missed the part about needing two hands to load a projectile weapon.

It just seems like a needless handicap compared to bows or slings, particularly considering that it's a superior weapon. I don't object to having to spend a minor action when you want to switch from your regular weapon to shuriken. But it seems pointless to punish someone this harshly for...

Hmm. Does it say somewhere that you can take free actions? I seem to recall someone mentioning that there was contradictory rulings in the PHB. The main chapter on surprise rounds does not allow free actions. And even if you got to use your free action, it specifically forbids taking actions...

Depending on the situation, it could be very powerful. Overpowered depends on situation I guess. I'm not much of a fan of the 'dm can just fix the problem, so it's not broken' excuse. But in this particular case, where the potential unbalance springs from the whole party directing their...

It is extra, but its included in the 4 listed on the PHB table. But it's not interchangable, no.

Twin strike is an at-will ability. But I don't see why the rogue would roll against each enemy. It's only the one he's attacking that matters. After all, everyone knows where he is an instant later. So I'd have the rogue roll stealth against perception when he attacks from cover (if those two...
