If a character have two separate sources of regeneration, say perhaps Trollskin Armour and Longtooth Shifting, and both are active at the same time, do their values essentially "stack" or would the character only receive the higher of the two?

Well, the Adventurer's Vault has officially come out, and there was much rejoicing. Now, onto the inevitable rules debates: Double-swords... 1. They count as both Heavy Blade and Light Blade. Would a char be able to use the benefit of Light Blade feats on both ends? The weapon appears and...

So, is this accurate? Heroic tier, with one handed weapons: D < 19 + A - x Heroic tier, with two handed weapons: D < 19 + A - 2x/3 Paragon tier, with one handed weapons: D < 19 + A - x/2 Paragon tier, with two handed weapons: D < 19 + A - x/3 Epic tier, with one handed weapons: D < 19...

Can a player wait and see the final attack roll result before choosing to use Disruptive Strike (or other similar powers)? Or would he have to declare it's use before the attack was rolled? The former makes more sense, but could make the power much more difficult to use "table-wise", as you...

Can a character regain consciousness by receiving temporary hit points while unconscious? A sort of "Back on your feet, soldier!" kind of effect.

Ok, part of what inspired this question in the first place was a sort of general disappointment in one of the promises of 4e... That is, the "end of the 5 minute workday". Personally, there is nothing more anti-climactic to me then having to hold back on "pulling out all the stops" because as a...

I was looking at healing potions the other day, and I noticed two things... one, they heal a fixed amount. Two, they still take a healing surge... They seem almost completely useless. The amount they heal is often worse than a normal surge would be throughout most of the heroic tier, and...

I have been hearing a lot about how important initiative is in 4e, and so far, I just haven't seen it. Since we no longer lose our "dex-bonus" to AC and don't grant combat advantage when we haven't gone yet, I'm not really sure why I see all the fuss. We still get the same amount of actions...

Like, the way I read the teleportation rules, the only restriction is "can't be squeezed". And I am fine with the idea of teleporting someone off a cliff or into some hazard (pc created or otherwise). To me that is just good tactics and should be rewarded. But it doesn't seem like I should be...

1. Do the rules allowing a "prone-save" apply to "forced teleportation" the same way they apply to forced-movement? There are several warlock powers that allow your to forcefully teleport an opponent, I'm wondering if they could be used to teleport people off cliffs, into spikes, so forth. 2...

My group had been considering a similar notion using "forced teleportation". There are a few Warlock powers that, if I recall, let you forcefully teleport an enemy. Is there any reason you couldn't forecfully teleport them off a cliff/into a Wall of Fire/etc? As far as I could tell, this...

Longtooth Shifter TWF Ranger... Twin Strike plus Shifting ftw Dragonborn Fighter... Enlarged Dragonbreath + Combat Challenge == up to 25 marked opponents in a single round!

Forked from: Art of the Peel While I don't really care to dive into Carpe DM's argument that Paladins don't defend well enough over Strikers, part of his argument seemed to rely on the idea that Enfeebling Strike is the worst of the Paladin at-will abilities. This sort of "incensed me", as I...

They can run long, or they can run short... Depending on how many Dailies the players have already used that day. We can all pretty much look at the numbers and see that our "at-will" damage won't stack nearly as quickly as the enemies HP (or even the players' HP). But I feel what many...

Can a character be grabbed by more than one opponent? The example we had was a PC was grabbed by mutiple zombies. Would it require a single escape attempt per grab? Or could somehow one escape attempt get you out of all the grabs? We weren't sure how to handle this one.

Depends on what you are looking for I would say the reason for Fighters not having 1st level access to Plate is an intent to "balance" the Fighter to the Paladin (to really every other class out there). That seems to be a major focus for 4e, striving for balance between the classes. So is...

So, in the spirit of full disclosure: I officially prefer 4e. Actually, I prefer non-D&D systems altogether, but I definitely prefer 4e to 3.5. I've been reading the forums here pretty regularly for about 6 months now, basically long enough to follow the release of 4e, though this is my...
