Doing the character creation legwork for my first 4e game. One of my players is highly interested in playing an "Artful Dodger" style rogue. High dexterity, high charisma, focused on sneak attacks and moving opponents around the battlefield. His issue with the build is that he focuses on these...

I'm not especially happy with these new illusion powers from Dragon. 1. Why are there powers for which a hit and a miss cause the power to have differing durations? (i.e. Phantom Chasm causing a target to be immobilized until the end of its next turn if you hit, but until the end of your next...

Looks like I'd been misinterpreting some of the fighter's opportunity attack related abilities while playing with the quickstart rules and KotS pregens. Combat Challenge lets you attack a marked enemy if it "shifts or makes an attack that does not include you" "as an immediate interrupt."...

Another player and I came to contention over a wizard's subsequent uses of the Flaming Sphere power. The initial attack from a flaming sphere is a ranged attack. The "sustain" portion of the ability text states that "as a standard action, you can make another attack with the sphere." Is that...

Bless you, Burlew. Bless you for this. http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0555.html :D

So... It would've been a cross-country flight, I'm not going. :( But, being the canny groupmind that we here on the message boards are, maybe we can all post our most burning questions for the people who are going? I understand you won't have books to look at, and you won't have all the...

So, I'm letting a player take control of an 8th level Djinn (a la Savage Species), five levels from completion of his full racial powers. I don't think it's overpowered in any way... His invisibility at will is interesting, but spellcasters in my game have been combatting this since 3rd level...

Here's the idea, but it's late and I'm out of sorts... I'm putting it out there. What do you figure the prereq's should be? Maybe a feat with several prereqs, or maybe just a rogue special level 10+ ability? Feat: Shadowy Profile When you are actively hiding, and are spotted, you are still...

This is a homebrew Prestige one of the players in my game is using, and he's about to start picking up some of the more interesting abilities... I was wondering if anyone could give me some ideas, criticism, or whatever. Especially regarding the "Tactical Advice" ability. The bodu are a race of...

Alright, maybe I'm reaching here, and I'm sure you'll all give me hell for this, but I think that humans are just flat out BETTER than the other races. Say what you will, but when my group sits down to min-max a few 10th level characters (and, yes, we do that from time to time), humans get more...
