I played 4ed hardcore, but after 4e officially faded into the sunset I started toying around with other games, but I found myself missing 4e. Now I want to make my return. The problem is I gathered a lot of material (and had everything down to a Science), official and unofficial, for it but lost...

Magic Stone. (V, S) "You touch one to three pebbles and imbue them with magic. . . " Do you need a free hand for the somatic component, or can it be the hand holding the stone(s)? I'm thinking, by RAW you need a totally free hand. Note: Unlike Shillelagh it has no M component per se. Right...

When selecting items for one's Lair Assault character, can one select items in Dungeon Magazine? Thanks

I understand that damage from sneak attack, hunter's quarry, warlock's curse, are maxed when one scores a critical hit, and it's my understanding so is extra damage from things like power strike, assassin's strike etc. And although I do have official reference that damage from sneak attack...

The RC states that the "triggering action or event occurs and is completely resolved before the reaction takes place." Thus, lets say a monster's trigger for its immediate reaction power was: Monster x is attacked. Now, if the monster is hit by an attack would one apply the result of the...

If I have a regular magic staff + 2, and then take the superior implement feat (accurate); would this +1 from the accurate add +1 to hit with my implement attacks when using my +2 regular magic staff?

Much to my dismay, I went to the free compendium search engine thing Dungeons & Dragons Compendium today (and practically live there when I'm on-line) and saw that they have totally changed it. One used to be able to fiilter and sort monsters, magic items, and other game elements...

The Rules Compendium seems somewhat unclear. Reading on-line debates about the matter seem in inconclusive. There seems to be good and bad arguments on both sides of the issue. The consensus seems to be, its a DM's call. My personal opinion is, to allow conjurations to move in any direction...

When adding a class template, e.g., fighter, cleric, rogue, etc, to a monster, thereby adding class powers to a monster, does one use the standard attack modifiers and damage expressions for monsters, or do you use the the attack and damage formulas stated by the actual class power? Or is it...

I'm about to start a campaign, set in a world of my (and the groups) own making; and I was wondering; if you yourself did something like that, would you let players choose Dark Sun themes (albeit, change the names and fluff)? It doesn't seem like it would create any problems, except that...

Property: When you use a healing power that benefits an ally, you also regain hit points equal to one-half the hit points the ally regains. My question is: If you heal multiple allies with a power, does one get on-half of the hit points that each ally regained?

When you use Curse Eye Tattoo do you have to designate the target as soon as you spend the AP, or can you wait until you make your additional action first and then apply it?

If a monster has an aura that marks enemies at the the start of an enemie's turn, and if a character starts his or her turn within multiple aforementioned auras, then how does one decide what monster actually marks the character? Is it the DM's call?

Perhaps I overlooked something in the Rules Compendium, but say a Hell Wasp Devil (who has a speed of 0, but a fly speed of 8) is knocked prone. I'm guessing that it cannot crawl? Or can it fly-crawl? (so long as it fly-crawls at least 2 squares).

Target: 1, 2, or 3 creatures Attack: x vs. y Hit: . . . and you teleport the target to a space adjacent to your enemy that is nearest to it. I'm having trouble understanding how this power works. Do you teleport the target as soon as it is hit, or after all the attacks have been resolved...

In the dm's guide, it states that when converting a standard monster into an elite, to auto recharge its encounter power when it's first bloodied, but I'm not quite sure if the dm's guide means by encounter power, encounter powers that recharge on a dice roll as well, or just one-time use...

I was just curious, if anyone else has a problem with: x gets dominated; dominator makes x run thru crowd; crowd gets OA vrs. x; x = dead. (?) Because that's pretty much what happens if anyone gets dominated in my games. Or, at least, what should happen, that is, if monsters or players are...

Can one hold onto a two-handed weapon and plant a battle standard? What about draw something, say a potion (or what have you). I'm thinking, no.

I'm a bit confused. When it comes to druid utility powers such as, "Insect Plague," and "Sky Talon," which are a "wild shape" form, but lack the "Beast Form" keyword, I'm confused as to what powers one can and cannot use in these types of forms, that is, is it under the same stipulations as when...

I realize that summons do not benefit from tempoary attacks bonuses or penalties; and I realize that in order for something to be considered a bonus or penalty, then the word "bonus" or "penalty" must be used in its entry, but I'm still confused as to what works, and what does not work, when a...
