    So... Do Summoned Creatures Suck?

    The Blade Angel minor action attack is only usable once per round. (RC 120). The summoner is the one making the attack so the damage boost would need to go on the summoner. Temporary bonuses do not affect the summoned creature's attacks, so it would have to be something that does not count as a...

    Power Swap Feats

    Power swap feats are covered by the same rules as other feats, so you cannot take it twice. Psionic Dabbler lets you use the power once per encounter, it is not a true at-will.

    Alchemical item bonus to hit

    FAQ for the Adventure's Vault! 2. Do I add half my level to attack rolls when using Alchemical items? No. You don't add one-half your level to an attack roll from an item or other game element that already includes a level (for example, "your level + 5 vs. Will" or "the item's level + 3 vs...

    revenant warforged componant/embed question

    Even with the False Blood Amulet you cannot use some of the warforged components. The items that say "Special: Only a warforged character can use this item." are not usable. Revenant only makes you count as a warforged for meeting prerequisites, not for other purposes such as this Special: line.

    Attacks Thru Summons

    This is incorrect. The rules say that "If a summoning power allows the summoned creature to attack, the summoner makes an attack through the creature, as specified in the power description." ( Rules Compendium page 121) The summoner is the one making the attack. Anything that applies to...

    Laser cleric of Pelor power stacking issue

    That boon is overpowered and kind of cheesy if you just bought the level 3 one and plan to keep it forever. The DMG recommends that boons go away after 5 levels. Will your DM be using that rule?

    Pact reward and Armor of Agathys

    You get the bonus. The power says Attack in the upper right, so that means it is an attack power. The power has no implement keyword though, so you would not get your implement's enhancement bonus or other bonuses that come from using your implement (dragonshard, dual implement spellcaster...

    Opportunity Attack Limit?

    Warlords and Summons

    As the rules state, summoned creatures have no actions of their own. The summoner can have them act by using the commands listed in the power (or a minor action to make them move). If a summoning power allows the creature to attack, the summoner makes the attack using his own statistics...

    Free Ritual Casting

    There are Vistani feats that remove the cost from rituals, so a daily power that does this would not be unbalanced. Bard rituals are ones with a Bard Prerequisite. Look at the Vistani Jongleur feat. Why would it specify that you gain access to bard rituals if all rituals are bard rituals?

    Are there any clear clarification for burst and blast in 3d?

    This was addressed in the May 2010 podcast at 15:00. They say that bursts and blasts are cube shaped. They explain that for combat purposes, a medium character's space is a 5 foot cube, no matter what their actual height is. Space is not the same as height. A creature does not need to fill...

    Just having fun, but.. can someone help me out optimize?

    Nimble Spirit does not work with MC Shaman since it requires you to have the Companion Spirit class feature. The MC feat does not give you this class feature. For MC Shaman there is the Sudden Call feat that only works once per encounter.

    When Dazed, can you take a free action WITH a standard?

    This has been changed in the rules compendium to be more clear. Dazed The creature doesn't get its normal complement of actions on its turn; it can take either a standard, a move, or a minor action. The creature can still take free actions.

    Magic Missile while blinded

    Magic missile does not hit at all; it is not auto-hit. It just deals damage as an effect, which does not count as hitting the target. Since MM does not make an attack roll, it can neither hit nor miss. You do need line of effect for MM, but line of effect does not require line of sight...

    Essentials: Melee cover

    The original PHB contained the rules for cover, and the RC uses those. The DMG cover rules were always optional and they continue to be. Unless you used optional rules, melee attacks around a corner never had cover.
