    Gaining vs. Granting Combat Advantage

    I've noticed before that some things say "x causes a creature to grant CA" while others say "x causes a creature to gain CA." And up until now, it was all kind of one and the same, CA was CA, doesn't matter how you got it, you have it. But now, with Holy Symbol Expertise, what was once simple...

    Essentially New Class Features

    According to undisclosed sources* I've gotten hold of a sneak peak at more upcoming details from the Essentials line! Apparently, in an effort to maintain balance between the classes, in light of the recent change to Magic Missile, other classes will receive similar "auto-damage"...

    Roundabout Charge

    Even before Charge got redone in the latest rules update, I thought this needed to be clarified; now even more so: How would you adjudicate the movement of the charge? Since RAW, each square of movement must take you closer to your target, I'm not sure how you can end up in just any square...

    Half-Elf Paragon Paths?

    Racial Bonuses v. Class primaries

    Let me preface this with the caveat that I understand that there are many more considerations to picking class/race combos than ability scores. I get that, I really do. I just find looking at this aspect can reveal a few things. I compared what ability scores are most commonly pumped among...

    Rogue Positioning Strike Clarification

    Question: With the Rogue's "Positioning Strike" attack, does the Artful Dodger build's Charisma modifer replace the 1 square, or get added to it? Basically do they slide [Cha] or 1+[Cha]? I understood the former, but someone in another post here has interpreted the latter; reading it now...
