    What is an effect?

    A few months ago i asked if there was a difference between "gaining CA" and "enemey grants CA", and i believe it was you (or someone of equal status) that said they are one in the same... so, if they are one in the same, does it matter if one "grants CA" or if one "gains CA"? If I was right...

    What is an effect?

    Aversion Staff: Source: PHB3 Property: You gain a +2 item bonus to all defenses against attacks from enemies that are subject to effects caused by you. Here's the specific item in question, as requested =)

    What is an effect?

    Specifically, there's either an item or a feat that provides you with a +2 bonus to your AC if you have an effect applied on the target who's attacking you. So, if you, let's say, daze them, i accept that you get a +2 AC vs their attacks, but what if you knock them prone? do you get the bonus...

    What is an effect?

    What exactly defines what is an effect? Dazing, stunning, blinding, etc, etc are pretty straight forward, but what about knocking someone prone, push/pull/sliding someone, or gaining CA on someone? Are these considered to as "applying an effect" on your target?

    Moving in threatened areas

    The other day my group took on a red dragon. It had a melee 3 attack range. Let's say it landed, and i'm 6 squares away. If i moved 6 squares towards the dragon to be adjacent (to attack in melee), does the red dragon get to do an OA when i move from square 3 to square 4? (Being that i'm...

    Resistance and DR

    Do different resistances stack? Does resistance stack with damage reduction? Example 1: Neck: resist fire 10 Superior fortitude: resist 3 ongoing dmg I get hit for ongoing 15 fire dmg. Do i reduce it by a total of 13? or just the better of the two? Example 2: Neck: resist fire 10...

    Is Power Strike a Weapon Attack?

    What about critting? If i hit with an MBA using a long sword and crit, the damage would be 8+str (max damage)... if i decided to use a power strike upon hitting with that crit, adding an extra 1[w], am i able to then max out that dice roll aswell? Making it 8+8+str? Or do i roll it seperatly as...

    Charging through an ally?

    I would imagine you could charge a square, but take the appropriate negatives of attacking blindly... assuming the target is in the square (may have moved after dropping the cloud)...

    2 stances at once?

    Is the property bonus for the Master's blade applicable to each stance active? I"m thinking not, but since i play a slayer, my fingers are crossed lol

    Second-Guessing Myself: Allow Teleporting While Falling?

    If it was his intention, then he needed to ready his standard action with the trigger, "Once i move into range, i use my standard action; inescapable Shadow"... that would work, imo... so he would jump, get close enough to allow the trigger to go off (trigger is a move action) and then make his...

    When Holding A Two-handed Weapon

    Wielding does not mean holding... no, it would not work. You need to be able to WIELD a weapon to gain the warding benefit... holding a weapon is like holding an item; provides no benefit... You cant' wield a 2handed weapon in 1 hand, but you can hold it... Big difference, and does not...

    When Holding A Two-handed Weapon

    You can hold a 2handed weapon with 1 hand, but you can only WIELD a 2handed weapon with 2 hands. It's a free action to go from wielding to holding... it's a matter of simply letting go, or "dropping" the weapon with the 1 hand only... Now that you have a free hand, all rules would apply to use...

    PHB3 minotaur death blow

    I'm gonna go a little off topic from the minator specific example, to a more general circumstance. When i first read this, i totally agreed in how the sequence works, and when you think about it, it is quite logical... It also made me think of how all things work... one example came to mind in...

    Chessboard Puzzle Help

    i like where you're going with this idea of yours... and i see your problem... sometimes in my game we take too long by discussing the problem out of character... Here's a couple ideas: 1) Use live time. every 1-2 minutes of real time they lose 1 healing surge value (life draining effect on...

    Word of Life and Pacifist Healer

    The Pacifist Healer feat is in addition to whatever you use as a healing power. The fact it is using d6's is a mere coincidence to the power in question... If the pacifist healer feat provided a d10 plus stat as a bonus, you wouldnt reduce it to d8's, right? So by paragon and taking that path...

    Immobilize: fly vs hover

    Hey guys, I dont have a DMG handy, but is this statement true?: p.47 DMG. If you fail to fly at least 2 square during your turn, you crash at the end of your turn. Now, if this is true, i'm assuming this only applies to creatures that do not have hover, correct? Would the only way to...

    The dominated condition and sneak attack

    A couple days ago i submitted the following question 3 times, in hopes to get 3 responses from different WotC CS agents: Unfortuneatly, the same rep replied all 3 times lol... but, it does go hand in hand with Brys' correspondance as well... possibly, even from the same guy lol Not exactly...

    The dominated condition and sneak attack

    lol, well, i'd like to think of myself as a mature person, with no biased opinion of what is right and wrong. I simply look at the rules laid out for us and support them, unless otherwise proven. I would hope that most of the people who reply here with some intellectual guide, would do the...
