    Spoiler rules Question: Healing lore/Healing Word

    So guys...does healing lore add to a clerics healing word power? On the one hand, healing word could be argued to be a class feature, so maybe you wouldn't add healing lore. On the other hand, healing word is a power with the healing descriptor, so I don't see why you wouldn't add the lore...

    Tiefling Warlord for KotS + Extra Skill Challenge

    See, I'm totally trustworthy. Except I misremembered the +stat piece. Lame.

    Tiefling Warlord for KotS + Extra Skill Challenge

    Sorry guys, I should have been more clear in my earlier post. This *is* a mistake. I've seen the books, and as I posted in another thread, the Warlord's inspiring word is for all purposes identical to a clerics heal. 2 uses per encounter, healing surge +1d6 + a stat bonus (I think cha). And...

    Tiefling Warlord for KotS + Extra Skill Challenge

    Yeah, works the same way as a cleric...that seems to be an error.

    Yeah, honestly people have posted everything I noticed about the half elf powers. When I first looked at their description my thought was "wow, that's too short"...but they do seem to have roughly the same number of abilities. And don't forget...there are some cool at will abilities too, even if...

    Yeah, I was just kidding with the broken comment. Honestly, humans may be a better *specialist* in certain scenarios now...possibly a better specialist then a jack of all trades, actually, as the extra at will makes them even more impressive in that role.

    A few more things after talking to my friend who also went with last night: There is an ability that lets a rogue run past his enemies, provoking AoO. The trick is, that they don't hit him...they HAVE to hit themselves! There is an ability that allows the rogue to jump on the enemies back...

    There were a few conditions honestly...only one I can remember is time. I think it was within a few weeks, but again, I was rushing. :)

    Oh yeah. Warlords Healing word power works the same as clerics (can use it 2 times per encounter, healing surge + 1d6 + cha, per round, no "per day limits" like the DDExperience cleric). One of my big worries was that warlords were going to underpowered in healing next to a cleric, but I can...

    Yeah...thanks again for setting that up Thalamin. That made my night. :)

    Ok, so yeah...this is not going to be so helpful, but in quick answer: I'd say there are a few dozen at least. I didn't see the rules about how often they can be cast, but the few casting times I noted were around 10 mins. And I didn't see anything that was class specific (which doesn't mean...

    Ok, re: dragons...dragons are INCREDIBLY nasty. Like, super nasty. An older white dragon has a sphere of super cold around it that does 30 pts of cold dmg every round. And anyone IN The sphere gets cover from those outside of the sphere. So basically melee can whale away every round...but they...

    Tidbits from PHB Viewing

    Yeah, the "main" person starting a ritual must have the ritual caster feat (which wizards and clerics get for free). As far as I can tell ANYONE can assist after that though...it specifically mentions that other players helping (the ritual assistants I think it called them) can contribute to the...

    I was skimming the rituals because I only had a couple of minutes, but I think the - penalty always applies. I'm sure about the GP costs, but I was rushing a bit through the penalty stuff.

    Well, it's 650gp to learn the spell and a 500gp reagent to cast...so at over 1k gold a cast a low levels, it's already pretty damn expensive....plus you get the rez penalty. :) Of course, you can always just houserule it different.

    Yeah, there are at least 2 shifters in the MM (I only looked through it for 10 mins or so), and the general reaction from my friend and I (who are both total power gamers). was...yeah, ok, this is finally a race we'd like to play. Warforged were in the book too, but stripped down a bit. Less...

    Not to be a smart ass, but it's "Monsters from the stars." One ability throws the person into "A dark and twisted area of space", for 7d10 dmg (and this could be off, I didn't write it down) where they float for a bit then fall down "mad"...considering everyone there enemy. They take...

    Yeah, I think so. We were rushing. :)

    Yeah, tumbling is a Rogue Utility power. Once per encounter, shift half your base move.

    Posted it on the other thread too, but what the heck< I may as well post here: Shifters are actually cool. Once the hit bloodied, they get an ability that kicks in and last the last of the encounter that adds +2 spd and I believe + dmg (for shifter: razorclaw). The other shifter had another +...
