    Ultimate Mercy questions

    When using Ultimate Mercy, the Paladin can choose to take a temporary negative level or pay the 5000gp casting cost of the spell. When the casting cost (either the negative level or the gold) is paid, the targeted creature is then raised per the Raise Dead spell, with a 1st level creature...

    Two weapon fighting

    Hi Neuad, the rules are pretty clear about this. The two-weapon fighting feat reads as follows: "While holding a melee weapon in each hand, you gain a +1 bonus to damage rolls with your main weapon." It does not allow you to make additional attacks. As a ranger if you wish to attack more...

    Foulspawn Grue

    if you really want to put the fear of god into them, upgrade it to an elite, and drop the Avenger template from DMG2 onto it. Then give it high mobility powers ;)

    Foulspawn Grue

    Foulspawn Mangler I think that you are referring to the foulspawn mangler, but that creature can only make 4 attacks as a standard action twice per encounter, as the power Dagger Dance is an encounter power that recharges when the mangler is first bloodied. At first glance it seems high, but...

    What kind of hit did DDI take a year after subscriptions started? Was it huge?

    On the other hand, due to having a baby this year, I couldn't justify spending $30-45 / month on D&D for something I only do once a week, but it was pretty easy to justify the DDI subscription. I suspect there are a large number of subscribers out there like me.

    Only a party of 3

    My group routinely plays with 3 out of four players present. Usually the role that is missing is our defender, or our leader. Things can get pretty crazy, but the party has acknowledged this, so everyone has healing powers of some kind through multiclassing. Even our swordmage/warlock does...

    Mage Fair Ideas???

    One of the classic games of the Faire Arcana has been a Wisps and Wraiths, simple game of arcane skill. Developed by the master wizard Telechus to train his students, this game is relatively simple to learn, but difficult to master. Typically a group of arcane initiates will make a wager, and...

    Twin-Strike Avenger?

    Hmm.. +15 to hit with 4+9 + 3d12+1d10+1d6 on a crit is not bad (18-65 on a crit) but I got +15, 4+3, +3d6+24+1d10(maxed Sneak off of wraith blade on crit) which is 35-59 damage on a crit The potential 6 more damage per round doesn't really offset the obscene minimum damage on a crit, and...

    "Wraithblade" ?

    This should do the trick! Avenger + Twin Strike + Sneak of Shadows + Daggermaster + Wraithblades ftw! 1d4+3 for a regular attack, 1d4+3+3d8 (SA) + 3d6 (crit bonus) [10-49] per attack. Also, if you crit with any Melee Avenger power, or the first Twin Strike attack, make an extra-offhand attack...

    Twin Strike Daggermaster Punisher of the Gods

    What he said, but if you want to get into this sort of silliness, then consider the following build: Half-Elf, Avenger, Daggermaster, Punisher of the Gods Build: Pursuing Avenger Avenger's Censure: Censure of Pursuit Background: Cormyr (General) FINAL ABILITY SCORES Str 22, Con 14, Dex 17, Int...

    Aveger - Temple of light and censure of pursuit

    Correct on both counts; Temple of Light kicks in even if you miss the target, and there is no requirement that your target be adjacent to you for Censure of Pursuit.

    Avenger / Ranger?

    Fold in the Paragon Feat Two Weapon Opening for a free melee basic attack with your offhand weapon when you crit with your main hand weapon.

    Avenger / Ranger?

    There is another at-will in Martial Power, the Fighter At-Will Dual Strike, though Twin Strike is a far superior power; it allows two ranged, or two melee attacks and keys off of different attributes. Also, the easiest way to get an at-will from another class is to play a half-elf and take...

    D&D 4E 4e iPhone Session Aid

    That is a very naive statement :) Something you should consider... It is not mutually beneficial; a mutually beneficial arrangement occurs when both sides have a dependency on each other. Since WotC already has a requirement that anyone wanting to use Compendium has a DDI account, and does...

    Unveiled Visage Paragon Path

    Unveiled Visage is an Avenger PP (p 46 of PHBII) that has the feature Soaring Charge; this feature has the following text: "When you charge, you can fly your speed as part of the charge." Since it doesn't say that it replaces any part of the charge, does this mean that when I charge, I can...

    Sequence of events on killin a Troll

    That is the issue; unless the fire trap, or source of fire damage, makes an attack roll as part of the of the "start of the turn" portion of a turn, then it is not technically an attack. The Troll Healing power specifically calls out that it is an attack. RAW, the troll lives. I do agree...

    Sequence of events on killin a Troll

    Sadly, by RAW, no it doesn't... Page 26 of the PHB defines the process for an Attack, which is the roll of a d20, plus appropriate modifiers. An Attack is described as [ability] vs. [defense]. Neither the ongoing fire damage, or the fire traps damage that triggers at the beginning of the...

    Sequence of events on killin a Troll

    Trolls have a power that indicates that if they are reduced to 0 hit points by an attack that does not deal fire or acid damage, it rises at the beginning of its next turn with 10 hitpoints. This power is not governed by the Trolls regeneration. Page 268 and 269 detail the order of resolution...

    Bloodclaw + Reckless = Megahertz:)

    On page 26 of the PHB the rules for an attack are pretty clear; an attack is a single d20 roll + appropriate modifiers. I would rule that when you activate either of the abilities, they affect only a single attack roll as they are both activated before making a specific attack roll. Contrast...
