    Wizard Sleep CSR Ruling

    Just to be fair, you need a -16 to lock a solo with 100% certainty. With a -15, on a 20 roll, you get: +5(solo)-15(orb wizard)+20 = 10. A 10 is a succesful save. But even then, using Earthroot Staff or Cunning Weapon/WotST, spell focus and Phrenic Crown alone, you easily hand out saves that most...

    Dex penalty and heavy armor?

    This.In Light armor, Dex matters because it depends more on avoiding blows than on soaking them.In heavy armor, Dex (negative or positive) has zero effect, because it relies on absorbing blows, not avoiding.

    Clarification on Push needed

    RAW clearly permits zig-zag pushes. You: Does white have A? We: Every color has A. White is a color, so white has A. You: But I wasn't asking about colors! I only asked about white! We: *sigh* Further, while in disagreement with RAW, I can see why a DM would rule that push is only in a...

    Push, Pull, Slide and cliffs....

    I'd rule, they fall.

    Hunger of Hadar - Warlock Attack 5

    That's a strange and broken interpretation. You can't sustain on the same turn as it's "cast", and you can't sustain more than once/round. As for damage, it does both: Round 1: cast the zone, line of sight gets blocked, nothing else happens. Your round ends (after move&minor action) Zone Effect...

    Holy Symbols: are they God-specific? Can they be altered?

    While a reasonable solution, this does make it somewhat unbalanced opposed to martial classes (who can use any +1 weapon they find) and arcane classes (who can yse any +1 rod/wand/orb/staff)... Unless your cleric only faces enemies who worship the same gods... who wouldn't be enemies then.

    Passive perception - all secrets revealed?

    Any Elf Archer-Ranger(Rogue Multiclass) is equal/better at perception and thievery than the party rogue... He's got 2 stats he needs for anything he does: Dex and Wis, which just happen to get a racial boost and add to any rogue skill. Oh, he does have another racial bonus to perception. Take...

    Do Blasts provoke OoA?

    Yeah, what the above posted. There's basicly three types of attacks using magic instead of weapons. One is "close", -like thunderwave- which doesn't provoke OA's; another says "area" -eg fireball- and does provoke OA's; last is "ranged" -eg magic missile- which also provokes OA's.

    [Monsters] I am a Doppelganger ... of a Demon?

    Doppelganger is the only race none of my DM's allows, because of that power. (Actually, that's a lie, one of them doesn't allow Warforged neither)

    # of Daily and Utility Powers per day

    For a nice table of what lvl of powers you can USE (eg, a wizard can have prepared) every day, see CH8 in the DMG. There's a nice table there, which really would've been placed a lot better in PHB. (Remember though, that you don't have to appoint powers of exactly that level, if you like a lower...

    What to you do for attributes

    22 point buy. Allows more diversity than the standard array, but gets rid of the unfairness of rolling. (Agreed, some "bad" stats can allow for great RP. But the problem is that someone who rolls good (like 4 18-16's) will/should get to be tweaked lower and end up pissed, while someone with bad...

    Judicious use and description of Minions [Edit-Now asking for stat analysis]

    One single knowledge check is enough to readily know what monsters have the "minion" keyword and which don't. It should most definatly be known. Fluff-wise, any experienced adventurer should be able to tell the difference between the weak cannon-fodder wielding pointy sticks or rusted sword and...

    Critical Hits & Ongoing Damage

    Damned you all, these aren't answers, only more trouble! (I doubt though that you're supposed to be able to sustain a power that didn't hit, unless it's a zone. For sure my (or any reasonable) DM wouldn't allow it)

    Effects happen regardless of a successful hit?

    Effects happen regardless of hit or miss. If it's dependant of hitting, it'll be described in the Hit part, or the effect mentions something like "creatures hit by this attack..." Edit: Wow, I'm slow.
