One of the players wants to play a yuan-ti; she has a snake tail instead of legs (which will result in some RP, and game-play challenges). Below are what we're using for her racial traits. I'm having trouble deciding on the appropriate damage for the encounter power, so critique for that would...

Except that's not what the definition of phasing in 4e is.

My confusion comes from whether the term "ally" is applied relative to each target's perspective or if it's based on the casting druid's perspective.

How have/would you handle the case where the druid casts call of the beast and it hits one of the druid's allies? Specifically, the part of the power that inflicts psychic damage on the target if it doesn't "attack the druid's nearest ally."

Wizard's has already removed the double-dipping of weapons with multiple groups: Add the following sentence to the end of the Benefits section: “Even if an weapon qualifies for this bonus more than once, you can apply the bonus only once when using that weapon.” source

Although I think it's a good and important discussion, let's keep on topic and not discuss the defense tier gap (which can instead be found here). In regards to expertise, I think we need to ask ourselves the following questions: 1) Should feats be relatively equivalent in power/effect? 2) Is...

I updated the trigger and hazard description. Let me know if it's clearer now.

do we really need a knowledge skill for each of the power sources?

This could be a possibility, but there are other more deadly hazards in planescape that could fill the higher tiers. The restrained condition is tied to the effect and not the hit for the razorvine's attack, so that makes it dangerous even at higher levels (see the restrained condition if you...

Razorvine Level 1 Obstacle Hazard XP 100 Dark heart-shaped leaves grow in dense clumps concealing iron-hard ridges on the plant’s stem. A razorvine patch can reach sizes up to 20’ feet tall and wide, covering walls or small buildings entirely in a few...

I like the detail you added to the cards; I would like to see a dark black border around the entirity of the card however (it helps make cutting the cards out easier). In addition, In the main box, I think the embossed border would look better if you didn't place it on the top of the card (right...

You could allow that the halfling wizard could use the ritual to resize the magical staff down to his size. Then use the table (I think it's in the weapon second of the PHB) that gives the progression chart for damage based on size. Scale down the damage of the quarterstaff by one step and there...

There is no actual economy in 4e, and this was intended. When you purchase a suit of armor for 50g from the armorer, he does not in turn use that money to purchase bread for his family - the gold simple disappears. Money is a reward system for PCs and it was a design decision to make it easier...

AC is usually higher than the other three defenses.

This is taken from the customer service q/a from mistwell. So once you gain CA and use it in an attack, you'd have to move (sneak) to a different location. This would prevent the sniping with CA from behind just one pillar. Also, note that the customer service said "set of cover/concealment"...

My confusion comes up because of the "Weapon" in the keyword line of the power. We know from the power description of melee basic attack that the ally gains his weapon's bonuses. But the effect of the commander's strike is to allow the ally to make a melee basic attack, so why would the...

Damage: 3d6+2: 3.5 * 3 + 2 = 12.5 average, 20 max 1d8+7: 4.5 + 7 = 11.5, 15 max Chance to hit: +4 vs 15: 11 or higher will hit, 20 will crit (45% chance to hit, 5% crit chance) +9 vs 15: 6 or higher will hit, 20 will crit (70% chance to hit, 5% crit chance) 0.45 * 12.5 + 0.05 * 20 = 6.625 0.70...

I don't believe anyone has mentioned the difference between the movement speeds of the different races. Dwarves and halflings are slower than half-elves and tieflings, correct? I'm sure there are times when you are just a square or two away from being able to attack.

What's the fluff/background for the shifters? Are they similar to lycanthropes?

The preview for the paragon paths revealed that each path will have a effect on action points.
