    Off-hand weapons. Meaningless?

    It seems pretty straightforward to me: General Rule: PHB pg 270 Simply wielding a weapon in each hand doesn't allow you to make two attacks in a round. If you hold two melee weapons, you can use either one to make a melee attack. Off Hand Property: PHB 217 An off-hand weapon is light enough...

    burst vs. critical hits

    Actually, it is the same way it has always been. Area effects were always a set amount of damage, and then a roll for a saving throw. When they changed saves to defenses, you still have a set amount of damage and a roll to see if or how effective it is. It's just that the attacker is now making...

    Paladin vs Fighter: Who is the better Defender?

    It would be more accurately termed DPR - Damage per round in 4E

    I KNEW D&D was becoming more like WOW!!1!

    Page 108 – The Nine Alignments [Substitution] Names like “Lawful Good” and “Chaotic Neutral” are so generic and boring. Strike all alignment names and replace accordingly: Lawful Good: Superman Neutral Good: Picard Chaotic Good: Indiana Lawful Neutral: Adama Neutral: Unaligned (you’re still...

    D&D 4E 4E PrRC ~v2.7~ FINAL UPDATE May 29.08

    Just a minor issue I found. Page 6 ( the one titled Ability Scores) is numbered page 5. The Table of Contents also needs to be updated to reflect this.

    Swift twice?

    Can anyone that was at DDXP verify this is true?

    Monsters/Rules List Compilation PDF

    I think it is great. If we could locate the rules for being prone and add those that would be a bonus.

    Fomorians article on DDI

    Huh? The Feywild is a twisted image of the Material World. The underdark is a place in the material world (not a different plane) and would exist in the feywild, just the same as any other location, but twisted in the feywild style. Calling it Feydark is just a way of letting you know what area...

    Prone

    Do we have any specific information on being prone? I would assume that if you are prone opponent's gain combat advantage. Can you cast or use powers and attack while prone? Is there a penalty? Do opponents get an OA against you if you stand up adjacent to them? Also, a little off topic. I...

    Blasts

    The way I understand it a Burst 5 could be bigger than 11x11 if the creature causing the effect were Large or bigger. This is because it radiates out from the creature 5 in all directions and a large creatures is already 2x2. The way I understand blast to work is if different. Blast 5 would...

    D&D 4E Everything you Need to Demo 4E but Dice

    Do we have information on what does and what doesn't provoke opportunity attacks? I know that moving from an adjacent square does, unless you shift then it doesn't. I know that using a ranged attack from an adjacent square does. What about attacking while prone? Can you do all powers from...

    Trip is an Encounter Power now

    The only thing I haven't seen taken into consideration here is game balance issues. It is quite possible that Trip started out at one level and during playtesting it was quickly revealed that it needed to be adjusted to the current power status. There really is no way of knowing until all the...

    Saving throws are a coin toss?

    Since when did how long an effect lasts have anything to do with the targets level? Other than a few spells that simply won't work on a target of X level, spell duration has absolutely nothing to do with level. The only thing that ever took level into effect was whether or not the spell worked...

    Saving throws are a coin toss?

    Effect Durations I think the sleep mechanic works fine and it will probably be similar to other spells in that the longer the duration (ie. the more rolls you fail) the worse your condition will be. Sleep works like this, you get hit and you are slowed, but if you fail your "save" (duration...
