This, as with most silly issues of 4e would require a house ruling to fit your tastes. (and my own as well). How about: "Aid another DC gets higher for extremely difficult tasks by one point for every point the task is above DC 30". That way to aid in a DC35 check, it would require a...

And a good diplomat is one who knows how to adapt to the situation. It can be still considered a diplomacy check or it can be made a skill challenge where a diplomacy roll tells the need of an intimidate roll.

Thx for the help folks, custserv agrees on that one, and goes out of their way to point out that if a basic attack is made as a part of a fighter power, it does mark the enemy.

I see it now, i agree. Thinking about it now, i think its a good thing, crits are supposed to be special and not many builds get to "exploit" this with crits every round or something like that. At least for this character i am making it will be just a nice bonus and not a "game-breaking cheese"...

On these occasions the best thing is to allow a partial success to occur, for example, the Diplomacy roll was quite good indeed and considering the level of the enemies it definitely should have an effect, the battle should not be avoided by any means whatsoever but there still should be a...

This. You can use 2ed AD&D crafting name conventions. Mastercrafted items have better bonuses and such, the material for equipment can also explain their inherent betterness. Tough will be giving bonuses NADs, you can give a flat bonus to everyone or use Luck charms, faith trinkets on neck...

As a Hybrid fighter, can i stil mark with the basic melee attack and basic ranged attacks from page 287 of the Deluxe PHB? (those that are non-class based and anyone can use)

Thank you, found it in the PHB yes, and the requirements for that are taking the Hybrid class as a PP.

It seemed like it was possible from what i read on Dragon but the CB is not letting me get it a second time. It seems like a reasonable restriction, i am just wondering where it was stated.

these beigns are all a lot different than a block of ice, a door, a bridge or a piece of wood. Rogues aren't trained in karate, or engineering or an indeep knowledge of anatomy. They cant do anything to a fire elemental other than whacking it on its amorphous body, just like a fighter would...

Well... yeah, some people really can't be forced to like 4e for its simplicity. Usually i say that 4e is a wargame with roleplaying just like 3e was, but the difference is that its honest about it and because of that it focuses on being a great strategy game while allowing complete freedom on...

usually players will avoid hard crashes like the plague and landing safely might be a sound tactic to get behind an enemy without provoking an AoO

my opinion is that its easier to ignore all these Ruleset quirks of 4e and not dwell on them, than to try houseruling every little thing. There are lots of things on the rules that don't make much sense on the real world, such as Bright light to Darkness, Squarefireballs, move-open door-lose...

What happens if you don't land at the end of the flying movement from the utility power? I am assuming the character crashes and uses the rules for that landing safely by falling a number of sqs equal or lower to its speed, and then is allowed to resume its actions for the round. Even on a...

Is the enemy of your enemy your friend? Some powers such as melee attack powers and exploits in general, where the character obviously decides who he is attacking, i rule that they can choose not to perform the attack. Other powers such as Fire Shroud, i still let them decide who they will...
