I wouldn't advocate letting players up the power level of their powers. I would imagine every human player would happily swap their bonus At-Will for an Encounter power. 2 At-Wills is normally enough, a 3rd gives a little variety but an Encounter gives more variety and power. I would also...

Sorry Mad Hamish, you are hitting him with a bullet. Try poison, nerve gas or other "non-direct" way of killing him :-p As for the point of the OP. Hit: is defines b D&D 4E rules as "Making an attack roll and getting equal to or higher than the defense stat you are aiming at". If a power in...

TBH I am not sure why a practising a daily or an at-will makes any difference to this discussion. But also, considering a character will use the same daily every day of the week, it feels more "tried and tested" than a spontaneous "wait, if I do this and this and use that I can make this...

I have seen movies where they do a montage of the hero practising moves. Sure, they are not practising the "use a ladder as a spear" move but they are practising sets of katas over and over and over again until they become second nature. You also practise a lot of theory and situation moves. In...

It has none. You neither Hit nor Miss. You just Swing. Edit: This has just made me think of a third use for attacking a square. Before you stands the tribes best warriors, who ask you why they should trust such a weak group of adventurers as yourself. Wanting to get on their good side, you...

Hmm, interesting idea. it seems to me you want "Lair Undead" in the same way you get Lair Items. I would speak to the DM to combine a ritual and magic item for the purposes of making undead but can only guard a certain place, or have limited movement. The main thing I've seen with 4E is there...

This forum seems to have a habit of losing my posts... but in reply to this I have to say LOLZ I can target a square instead of an enemy/creature. Instead, in place of, as a substitution for. The first point was that an enemy and a creature are the same thing and replacing an enemy with a...

Unfortunately Acid Arrow falls down on the "bag of rats" test and why I didn't word the power in that fashion. Acid Arrow requires a Hit to trigger the secondary effect. If you allow Acid Arrow to do splash damage, why can't the cleric hit nothing and get the hit effect of healing allies? This...

Further discussion why I think using DLS and other similar powers is not against the rules but very much within the wording of the rules. The main point Draco likes to make is "Target: One Creature" must be a creature you can think of which could be within the vacinity of where you are. Now...

Draco, define "target". If I am in a room with an enemy, who gulps a potion of invisibility and vanishes from site. The next round I see the door open so I run down the corridor and into another room I think he went (but have no real clue). I see nothing in the room, but I start swinging my...
