For the sake of archival, War Wizardry is a paragon feat from Forgotten Realms. Thank you, thank you, thank you all.

Dwarf or Tiefling? Dwarf... or... Tiefling? Just wrap up one of each. Could you point me toward the feat for not poison gassing my new best friends? I seem to be as blind as a bat in sunlight.

Makes sense to me. Bottom damage would be -A+M. Of course, the reasonable use of this would be a control spell; damage is just gravy on those anyway and dice numbers are low. I'm new to 4e: In case I need to burn more of everything, how do I not light up allies? Or is it a worthless worry?

Enlarge spell (heroic wizard feat from Arcane Power) says that applying it decreases damage rolls by 2 per die. I assume that means an enlarged fireball causes (1d6-2)*3+int rather than 3d6-2+int. Am I reading that right? If a die roll is 1 or 2, does it get bumped to a -1 or 0 or does it...

Magic Item Compendium.

Races like Mephling(air) and Raptoran both get a base fly speed. A) Am I right to assume fast movement (from monks or barbarians) doesn't affect flying? B) Are there ways to increase fly speed? C) Are there ways to increase maneuverability?

Doesn't advance damage? How sad... Second question: How do you figure the damage for different size creatures. Say a tiny monk or a collosal monk.

How does a Monk's Dice progression advance beyond level 20? Given this a level 7monk/3Fist of Forest w/ a Monk's Belt should have the unarmed attack bonus of a level 20 monk. If this same character continues progressing down this path until level 15Monk/3FoF, the belt takes him(her?) to 2d10...

Good to know about not being able to consistently overrun. The other possibility is a large Wolverine... but that does lose out on the mobility thing. I think I'll rework it into a straight charge/melee character. I'd hold the WPO because it's some class bonuses. Is cavalier a good optioin...

I was thinking it would be doing overrun attacks and a higher level would mean more damage, also, it allows for me to jump from the mount and not worry about it in combat. However, I'm just starting in DnD, so if this is ridiculous tell me.

I'm throwing together a Dire Badger riding Gnome Ranger. Standard 32 points for a level 12 build. My goal is to keep my Effect Druid Level as close to my normal level as possible. Ranger8(PHB,Races of Stone)/WildPlains Outrider3(Complete Adventurer)/Beastmaster1(Complete Adventurer). Ways of...

Remember, everything in game (skills, classes, races, whatever) is changeable by the DM. Everything coming from WotC or Dragon Magazine is just inspiration of the story you exist in or are telling. If you think tempest is mostly within the flavor of your character, change the bit that isn't...

Look at Tempest(page 81 of Complete Adventurer), at the end of the 5 level PrC you take no penalty for dual wielding light weapons. Pre-Requisites: bab>=6, dodge, mobility, spring attack, Two Weapon Fighting, Improved Two Weapon Fighting.

Thanks. I think I have a firm footing on it now. And stop arguing about "Who is more awesome". It's like comparing Superman and Batman, you're both so awesome everyone else is left in the dust.

I was thumbing through the PHB2 for the first time, and the Knight has really caught my eye. I just don't quite understand small parts of it. The description of Test Of Mettle says: but it also says So, which is it? Are they forced to attack me, or do they get to do whatever they want? On...
