    items on a bad guy

    items on a bad guy

    The magic threshold is the magic bonus the NPC is expected to already have. The level 11 guy already has a +2 bonus to defenses and such (details are in the text, check it out); the level 26 guy has +5. When you add a magic item, you only add the part of the bonus that's over the threshold...

    Rain of steel - too powerful?

    ... but since you can't enter an obstacle (as per page 284), but you can enter the wall of fire, we know for a fact that it's not an obstacle. One might also argue that "hitting multiple targets" is largely synonymous with "attacking several people".

    Subduing a wizard?

    Unless you have a power that makes an exception. I'm looking at YOU, Warlock's Leap! :D

    Is Fighter's Combat Challenge an OA or not?

    Actually it's more limited than an OA, since an immediate action can only be used once per round.

    Does the character count as his ally

    No, allies are always other people (look under "Target" on page 57). If you're included among the potential targets, the power says so outright.
