    Rules Clarification (nitpick)

    You follow the 'attack' and 'effect' lines in the order they appear in the power description. Most powers (like Aspect of Might) have the effect occur after the attack is resolved, but a few (such as Stop Thrust (Fighter Daily 9, Martial Power)) have the effect before the attack.

    Question about powers with damage in 2 parts

    It seems pretty clear to me that a magical weapon or implement applies to all damage rolls with a power: (emphasis mine)

    D&D 4E [4e] Why not savor the PHB3? Major spoilers on the new races and classes.

    Figures. I'm trying to be all geeky and you go and tell me that I'm behind the times. You're right; my text editors that are even slightly modern don't have trouble with it. My problem was that I was using plain old nano to read it.

    D&D 4E [4e] Why not savor the PHB3? Major spoilers on the new races and classes.

    Thanks for the information, but the format of your files is messed up. Each file begins with an FF and and FE character, and then there are null characters in between every normal character in the file. For anyone who happens to be on a UNIX-like machine, running the following command will fix...

    Can one of the lead designers of D&D please stand up and clarify "Rain of Blows"?

    There have been customer service responses that it gives 2-4 attacks. (See, for example, here.)

    Help me understand mounted combat

    The rules for mounted combat are on page 46 of the Dungeon Master's Guide. In short, you act on the same initiative count and use the same set of actions. There aren't any specific bonuses except for those in the Warhorse's stat block. (higher speed, more damage while charging, etc.) Notice...

    Timing of actions

    Also, the opportunity attack is an interrupt, so it happens before the warlock even hits with the Eldritch Blast.

    Adjacent Damage

    Rafe is right. The bonus applies to any roll, but not to static damage. See the Player's Handbook, page 57, second-to-last paragraph.

    Anyone tried a fighter with reach yet?

    I've been looking at a reach fighter build that uses powers that knock prone or immobilize the target, so it can't attack him on their turn. At paragon tier, he of course immediately gets Polearm Gamble and switches to powers that push the enemy, so they have to come back through another...

    Blood Mage confusion

    1. No. Bolstering Blood only adds bonus damage, but does not add the psychic keyword to the spell. Therefore, Dark Fury doesn't apply. (...whenever you use a power that has the necrotic or psychic keyword) 2. No. Same reason as (1). 3. It works as you described, but again, Dark Fury doesn't...

    When does an effect take place?

    The attack and effect occur in the order they're printed in the power description. For example, compare Dread Star with "Come and Get It" (Fighter attack 7), in which the effect (pulling your enemies toward you) occurs before the attack (close burst 1)

    Critical hits and strikers class features

    Actually, you maximize all the damage except for the extra damage specifically from the critical hit, (e.g. from a magic weapon or a High Crit weapon) so the Hunter's Quarry / Sneak Attack / Warlock's Curse damage is maximized. This has been confirmed by Customer Service somewhere on these...

    Will your campaigns go Paragon? Epic?

    It depends on how long my players want to keep playing. Assuming they want to go through Epic, I have three storylines planned out: if they succeed, they'll save a country by 10th level, a continent by 20th, and a plane by 30th.

    PDF of Combat Cards

    Since that page specifically says "Permission granted to photocopy for personal use only," I don't see a problem with making a copy of that page and saving it as a pdf. (or asking someone to do it for you: http://home.uchicago.edu/~swilbur/dnd/CombatCards.pdf)

    Consensus on Bolstering Blood

    According to this, the extra damage would apply to Flaming Sphere's 1d4+Int damage, but not to ongoing damage (e.g. Acid Arrow) or static damage. (e.g. the lingering effect of Cloud of Daggers)

    Stormwarden Blade Storm versus Twin Blade Storm

    Are you sure about that? I don't see anything to indicate that you don't get both. They're two separate abilities, and as far as I can tell, they both trigger separately, letting you do 2*dex to one enemy and 1*dex to another.
