Healing Strike is an awesome power. Of awesomness. +2.

... It's exactly what it says. 'On your turn, you must engage the target, or challenge a new one.' Paraphrasing: 'to engage a target, you must attack it, or end your turn adjacent to it.' So, on my turn, I have attacked the target. I now DC it, still during the same turn. End of turn rolls...

'Attacked the target on my turn' is a current status, until the end of my turn rolls by.

...za? How did you arrive at that conclusion?

Sounds like a typo (though the vampire spawn one sounds like a miscalculation).

Depends what you're building it for. A tanky pally needs Cha (primary) and benefits from con (surges, hp), dex (heavy blade feats) and wis (lay on hands and power secondary effects - probably the most useful) as secondaries (thought you'd realistically only pick one of two and play to their...

Sigh, not this again. Yes, Divine Challenge ends when you fail to engage, or when you challenge another target. Thus, the Divine Challenge you used against your first target is now over, and any limitations it might apply to your actions are null and void. However, you have now used Divine...

Not true. 'On your turn' you must 'engage' the target - not 'on your turn, after you've marked them.' You may qualify 'enagage' (attack them), then mark, and the Challenge persists, because you satisfied 'engage' on your turn. Your options are: 1) Attack the target, then Challenge it. 2)...

If Wizards (or, back in the day, TSR) wrote every single line of rules text as exactingly as the wrote their Magic cards, we wouldn't need errata. Errata are there to clear up the fuzzy parts of rules where they didn't use specific enough language. An ad hominem? From me? Never! My mind merely...

Your first three sentences are absolutely correct, and I brought up this point in the first thread. In your third, however, you neglected to include the word 'magic' inbetween 'one' and 'item.' Page 224 is clearly referring to magical items, when it refers to slots, not every single item, ever -...

On a related note, what would likely be the best dellitante selection for a Cha - centric tanky pally? My first instinct was eldrich blast, but the lack of implement hurts, so I was thinking Sacred Flame, since it's based off a secondary (my wis is roughly tied for 2nd highest with con), works...

I concur with Hypersmurf, AcerageTable and Bagpuss; i would not have thought that the mechanics were so hard to grasp for some. I can only assume at this point that LokiDR is either so emotionally invested in his view he is unable to listen to the arguments of his opposition, or is a troll...

I would rule one of these as well. However, if you tried to catch the paladin and his friend, had line of effect to the Point of Origin, but a wall of force blocked the Pally from being targetted by the attack, I'd say DC would proc, and the Pally would be rewarded for tricking his oppenent...

This seems logical, but only because the person making the attack has no idea who they're actually attacking. If I - a Paladin - have marked a foe, who then decides to ignore my challenge and AoE a group of my allies, the following happens: 1. The enemy places his AoE, with me outside it. 2...

I was going to reply to this, but then I realised this is almost certainly an epic trolling attempt. I doff my hat to you, good troll.
