    Don't add together temporary hitpoints - lessons from the cleric

    You forgot "If a single application of a power would cause you to gain/receive multiple temporary hitpoints, add them together before continuing." Reference the Warlock's Infernal Pact boon (which stacks, but only on one attack) and it's related feat (which gives even more). Since each...

    DMG Intro Adventure - Big Spoiler!

    This has been eratta'd by CustServ. The intent is that the challenge is reapplied every turn even without the minor action, unless you want to change targets or you break the challenge yourself by failing to engage. So the way to read it should be "the first time each turn" rather than "the...

    Temporary Hit Points

    If temp HP from the same source didn't stack, you could only have 1 of it. HP is usually plural, remember?

    Consensus on Bolstering Blood

    I've been basing my claims on CustServ's preliminary ruling, which says that zones and conjurations don't benefit and that the extra damage only applies once per target. See this thread for an extended debate.

    Consensus on Bolstering Blood

    As far as I understand it, you add the extra damage once per target. So if you did 11 to yourself, and you Fire Shroud a crowd of like 6 guys, each of them takes 1d8+Int+11 damage, but then they only get ongoing 5 fire. And if you did Flaming Sphere against one guy, you'd do 2d6+Int+11 damage...

    Make cone effects = step pyramid shape

    Here are two ways to use cones instead of blasts. Of course the 'source' square can be any of the 8 you're touching just like now, so these two options are just examples. .......... .......... ...X...... ...XX..... ...XXX.... ...XXXX... ...XXXXX.. ..C....... .......... .......... ...

    Wizard Combo: Bleeding the Storm

    Only at-will? How boring. Orb is still better than Wand but Staff looks more and more appealing. By the way, if the damage adds thing does work, you might want to have a Paladin along with Wrath of the Gods (daily utility 6, until the end of the encounter allies add the Paladin's Cha to all...

    Wizard Combo: Bleeding the Storm

    Constant bonuses only get added once, so you don't get to add it for every d6. (edit: I couldn't find the page number for this, so maybe I'm wrong? I remember hearing about it in reference to Blade Cascade though) You can use the Orb to extend the fun, though. Might want to have a Warlock...

    Can a PC get threathening reach?

    Polearm Gamble is still good when combined with Heavy Blade Opportunist and a glaive, or you could also add Uncanny Dodge to stop your opponent from taking advantage of the combat advantage you gave. And you can also ready an attack and use Polearm Gamble for a 2-hit combo.

    Challenge! I want to convert your concept!

    The Death Master template in the DMG gives you 4 undead minions of your level or lower and an Encounter power to raise 4 more in any unoccupied squares within 10 of you. If that's not enough minions, combine with the Lich template to be able to take a minor action to get an Encounter power of...

    What modifies saving throws?

    The Spell Focus feat, again for wizards, gives enemies -2 (and is why every Wizard should be built with 12 Cha). And there might be some Cleric or Warlord powers that let you reroll saves, perhaps with a bonus, but I don't know if they actually exist.

    [Q] Does Holy Avenger do extra damage for non-weapon attacks?

    A related question. If I'm a Wizard of the Spiral Tower and I have a +6 vorpal longsword, which effects (if any) from the vorpal description apply to my Meteor Swarm? Specifically, is my spell damage dice from this weapon (so it explodes) and if I hit did I hit with this weapon (so I can use...
