July Errata is up

Oh wait! How will the new revision to free action interact with Bravura Presence?

Using action point is a free action. Now a PC use a free action to use an attack action and choose to take advantage of this feature. He hits. But he cannot make an additional basic attack (an attack power) as a free action, because of the new rule?

He can still take a move action but ....

 

[ExploderWizard]

No, just being divine or similar.

What does divinity have to do with a metagame concept of "you must be this tall to ride"?

Sorry little one I'm immune to that ability..........until you gain XP, come back, and use that exact same ability.

Whatever.

The free action rule only applies to free attacks. Action Points grant an extra Standard action. So if you make an attack with the standard action granted by the action point you are making an attack with a standard action not a free action.

Damage from Inescapable Force is extra damage, and as such, is not a damage roll from my understanding.

I would need to see the wording on this, but you don't add bonus damage unless you actually rolled damage in the first place. Can you find the staff implement in question, because this doesn't sound right.

Staff of the Serpent
Property: Any melee attack made with this staff deals +1d6 poison damage.

This one I think works with Shadar-Kai Reaper's Touch, though I doubt it's intended.

No idea. But when you try to point out something utterly absurd like taking out a god or another epic creature with MM somehow, I feel the need to point out it's not going to work anyway as the rules kinda account for it. There is very little way you'll get a range 20 MM fest for long enough to kill anything in epic anyway - you'll be dead so fast it won't matter.

In any event, you can already do this and better with many other damage bonuses and automatic damage effects. So again, what point are you trying to make?

 

[Obryn]

Can I mention how thrilled I am that Windrise Ports finally got nerfed?

When it's an ingredient of 90% of broken builds, you know it's a problem.

Today, the Arcane Slasher died.

-O

 

[fanboy2000]

It's not a utility power, it's a daily attack power.

Even better because it's level 1!

Using an action point is a free action, but the effect of using an action point is to grant you an additional action. It is that action that you use to make the attack. Thus, you haven't made an attack as a free action yet...so you can still take advantage of Bravura Presence.

EDIT: Or what abyssaldeath said. Ninja'ed.

 

[Nifft]

Wait, is someone actualy complaining that this might speed up combat? You are my new favorite poster.

Broken builds of many types "speed up combat". Do you really like all broken builds?

What I don't like is that they took something that worked reasonably well and changed it so it can be made to work unreasonably well.

Magic Missile is not broken. Insubstantial creatures having a weakness is not a bad thing at all either, but the point here is that MM won't win encounters, has poor control other than auto-hitting and is very hard to actually buff (adding extra damage doesn't count as a damage roll either).
