I think you would find Brain-eater overpowered. It does not have a limit, so you are pretty much giving free healing to full after most encounters. Plus it sounds like an insta-kill if the enemy is helpless such as with with Faces of Death or Konockout Blow.

Resistance and Vulnerability are not on the same scale. This is clearly shown by the possibility of having both simultaneously. Any amount of negation over the resistance they possess is lost.

Once the ritual is complete, you have your holy water. The time is all included in the ritual itself, which takes one hour.

I believe that is incorrect. An immediate reaction takes place after the triggering attack fully resolves. This would include the attacks push effect. So the critter should be pushed, then its burst can go off.

What I understand from the OP is that he houseruled the whole grab and move and then seems upset at how his houserule is working? That grab and move should have taken two standard actions. It seems to me you allowed it to take just a move and maybe a minor. That was the part you probably...

Heh, oops. Got my leaders mixed up. Well, the principle still stands.

What they are referring to is that you can't stack bonuses from the EXACT SAME NAMED THING. Different feats will stack if they are not the same type (ie listed as a feat bonus) as long as they are from two different feats. For powers, you can get two untyped bonuses from different powers, but...

Can you tell me where it says you can only have one tatto? My understanding was that you could only have one tattoo of each type. But I am away from my books now and can't check that.

Interesting note, since the target is one Creature, if you are wiulling to eat the initial damage, you can target youself. It then gives you an interesting aura type attack each round for a sustain minor.

Assuming they are just starting off, a level 1 Ranger has no other option but to take attacks that target AC for both At-Will and Encounter powers.

Where does it say that an immobilized dragon will fall to the ground? Is this a power of the Tanglefoot bag specifically?

Can you skip all of this by making a slightly tall halfling and making them size medium? There is only 1" difference between an average-tall halfling and an average-small dwarf. on the flip side, a smallish or younger dwarf will be size small?

If you allow DC to be set at the end of turn, you are giving Divine Challenge a big power boost. It can now put an opponent in a serious dilemma, where it has to either face an opportunity attack or take automatic divine damage. Take this example, Pal has used his move, and his standard...

I would like to point out that a similar situation can come about, with no action on the part of the paladin at all. Take this as an example: The party comes upon the Big Bad Guy. The paladin wins initiative, moves up, attacks, and puts on a Divine Challenge on the BBG. Next, the rogue...
