standard PHB. Ranger Daily level 19. Thanks for all the answers! B.

really, noone?

Does this power grant CA, due to dazed/stunned condition applied by the power itself, while being executed? e.g. 1st attack: no CA, hit, opponent dazed 2nd attack with CA (same opponent) ... or do the status effects get applied at the end of the power execution? In case of CCoS, after 3...

My suggested stats for a heavy blade dragonborn paladin are 18 13 14 8 14 12. Main stat Str. Your main damage power is Holy Strike (at-will) so you want Wis as high as possible from here on. You don't need Cha at all. Champion of Order PP makes your DC/marks much stronger than any Cha based...

Can you blind undead with this spell? Does the "undead part" of the spell description overlap/stack with the "any creature" part?

Is there a difference between dealing damage to an enemy, or an enemy taking damage from you? :-) Attack Results (PHB 276): ... When you hit, you usually deal damage ... Damage (PHB 276): When you hit with an attack, you normally deal damage ... Furious Smash: Deal damage equal to your...

If you read the entry for double weapons in the AV carefully it's actually clear for me that only one part has the off-hand property. "The first die given in the damage column of the table for a double weapon is for the primary (or main) end of the weapon; the second damage die is for the...

idd my conclusion was right, just fumbled up the numbers. 6.5+1 for de d12.

2d6 brutal 1 has an average of 7+1=8 1d12 brutal 2 has an average of 7.5+1=8.5 in line of these examples, you can assume the brutal weapons doing 1 more average damage per [W] that gets ignored when you crit.

Shadow Stride Btw, Shadow Stride is changed in the last errata Version 4 (1/09). http://www.wizards.com/dnd/files/UpdatePH.pdf Brendan.

During the "Actions on your turn" part of your turn: Your Actions: You get the following three actions on your turn: a standard action, a move action and a minor action. Any Order: You can take your actions in any order ... Dazed: You can take either a standard action, a move action or a...

That only works if you have Shadow Stride (Rogue Utility 10) and this works for cover only, otherwise you need cover/concealment at all times during your movement. On the other hand, if you loose your hidden status due to an action, you still benefit from the hidden status until that action is...

I assume that's a given.

I kinda skipped to the end of the thread, it might be mentioned but here goes ... Check out the paladin paragon paths. Specifically: Champion of Order if you're STR based. Hospitaler if you're CHA based. Now evaluate your Divine Challenge again.

Whatever the difference in baseline effectiveness might be. There are 2 paladin paragon paths that actually improve Divine Challenge a lot. STR paladins have Champion of Order: getting an OA that works much like the fighter's Combat Challenge melee basic attack. It doesn't help against shifting...
