A paladin of Corellan seems like it would work better as a ranger with cleric or paladin multiclassing, and perhaps chain/scale proficiency feats.

I Hellish Rebuked an ettin the other day, then used Spider Climb to scuttle up to the roof of the cave we were in and let go to trigger the extra damage. Everyone got a laugh out of it and I did a little extra damage, but it's not something I plan on doing all the time. As for stabbing...

Dwarven Weapon Training and magic weapon bonuses apply to anything that requires you to roll a die to determine weapon damage. The secondary damage from Cleave doesn't require you to roll so those bonuses don't apply. Rain of Steel says you do 1[W] to enemies, which is a roll of the die, so...

I noticed this bug in the demo version as well. I guess it slipped through into the final release.

edit: nevermind, thought staff was part of the mace group.

Does any other race have what are essentially two encounter powers like that? They both seem like good racial abilities but I can't think of any other race that has something similar. Perhaps 'Half-Orc Resilience' is a feature more than a power since it's not used actively.

It's a good chunk of damage for an at will and knocked prone is nice, but for the middle of the paragon tier I don't feel like it's too terribly overpowered.

No, you are just allowed to have both 'temporary hit points' and 'Invigorating temporary hit points'. They follow all the same rules, you're just allowed two kinds.

Haven't we already found out about a new Fighter at-will for the two weapon fighting style? I imagine each new build option will have it's own at-will that works well with it.

A standard critical hit is simply max damage for the normal attack. For the swordwing, a normal armblade attack is 2d6+9, so max damage is 21. Certain weapons, including the swordwing's armblade, do extra damage on a critical equal to the damage of the weapon, which is 2d6 for the armblade...

I don't think you have to pick an implement, rather certain spells are empowered by certain implements.

Haven't the designers said that mutli-classing is in fact easier now in 4e? As someone else said, roles are going to be pretty tightly focused, which makes sense to me. If I can be a good defender and a good striker at the same time, why would I ever choose to instead be only one? The...

Haha, maybe what REALLY sets the adventurers apart from everyone else are incredibly overdeveloped adrenal glands. :p

I think the reasoning is that they want healers to heal (obviously) but given the relative ease with which players can heal on their own, between Second Wind during an encounter and simply burning healing surges out of an encounter, a healing class shouldn't exist completely parallel to that...

Doesn't the axe also give +1 damage? According the "PHB Lite" there are weapons that give +3 to hit ('accurate'), +2 to hit ('regular') and +1 to hit/+1 to damage ('inaccurate').
