Does this feat apply only to Summon XX spells, or does it apply to any arcane Conjuration (Summoning), such as Mad Monkeys?

Hmm. Too many Greek letters. Anyway... TLDR Version: Lizard is working on a "Mutants And Mayhem" game for 4e. You can get the alpha 1.1 rules here. Longer version: There's an odd genesis to this. I'd been thinking about How To Do This for a while, mostly as a mental exercise, working through...

OK, a Dominated creature is Dazed, and you choose its one (standard/move/minor) action. A Dazed creature can normally take Free actions. Can you force a Dominated creature to take free actions in addition to its one S/M/M action? Instead of? More than one free action? "Drop your sword (free)...

The power says "Use this power when you are hit by an attack". I read this as "Before you take damage, you go 'poof'" and are somewhere else. Another player thinks this means I take the damage and THEN teleport, making it a lot less useful. Which reading is correct?

If a character is behind cover, does he get the cover bonus to AC from secondary attacks? Specifically, someone shoots a poisoned arrow at the character, which hits. The poison is a secondary attack vs. fortitude. Does cover protect? The rules say cover "protects from ATTACKS", period. Logic...

When you multiclass to Warlord, you get a Daily use of Inspiring Word. Does this mean you can use it twice per encounter, but only one encounter per day, OR does it mean one single, solitary use? Same for Cleric multiclass.

The general rule is, an encounter power can be used once every 5 minutes "out of combat", correct? So -- I just got a Utility 2 power, Crucial Advice, or, as written on my character sheet, "You're Doing It Wrong". This allows anyone who trying an untrained skill in which I am trained to reroll...

a)Can you take a Move action, and then a Charge action, to basically move twice your speed and then make a basic attack? My interpretation was that you could; Charge is a Standard action which includes a move component, and doesn't negate or remove your Move action for the round; there are no...

Forked from: How to kill a blue dragon?

Forked from: 4E multiclassing - is Arcane Initiate too powerful?

OK, this grew out of an idea I had -- why not "spell books" for martial characters? That is, in Ye Olden Dayse of D&D, one of the greatest treasures a wizard could find would be the unique spellbook of some long dead mage, containing special and rare spells no one else had. It occured to me...

Looking at Cheetah's Rake (Ranger 17), but it's a general question: If an effect lasts "until the end of your next turn", does that mean the person affected can do nothing about it? i.e, I use CR and knock the ogre prone. The ogre's initiative comes up. As I read it, he *cannot* attempt to...

Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?

Is there any reason that a 2-wpn ranger proficient in Bastard Sword can't wield one in each hand? Other than the fact this is cheesier than the entire state of Wisconsin, is there any reason NOT to do this?

I hope this is the right forum... Looks like my DM is all enamored of 4e (knew I shouldn't have run KOTS...:) ) and will probably renege on his plans to keep our current campaign going until we hit at least the high teens. Probably. I hope he at least waits until Martial Power is out, but...

In the short feat description, it says "Gain Eldritch Blast 1/encounter"; in the actual text of the feat, though, it says "Pick a pact and gain that pact's at-will power as an encounter power". Which is it? 'Cause my rogue will find Eyebite a lot more useful than EB.

Would it have any noticeable effect on the game if someone picked the same encounter power twice (when they were able to select another power, or via retraining), allowing them to use it twice/encounter? They still have the same number of powers total, and most encounter powers seem pretty well...

One of the things I was looking forward to in 4e, based on the preview books, was that race would be a major factor through your character's life, that a 20th level dwarf fighter would be substantially different from a 20th level human fighter. Unless I'm missing something, this seems to have...

(From another thread) It's really, really, hard not to keep coming round to "WOTC felt somehow obliged to produce a license, but really doesn't know what they want from third parties". Dancey's vision was clear: He wanted D20 Uber Alles. He wanted to encourage every company to buy into the D20...

Revised and expanded! Feedback welcome. Familiars in 4e Basic design goal -- mimic, as much as possible, the 'flavor' of 3e familiars without impacting the 'action economy' of 4e. Familiar Rules Once you have taken a familiar (see below), the following rules apply to it: A familiar is a...
