Ha! Exactly what I'm talking about! What you're saying COMPLETELY contradicts what several others have said! I know I contradicted myself, and pretty much said so, because as it stands, the rule is obviously not clear. I think, by RAW, that the monster takes the full damage on the turn it...

? This really doesn't clear things up... Their Variable Resistance power triggers on them taking the damage. They can't 'declare Variable Resistance' before they are dealt the triggering damage. Thus, they have to take the damage. By the time they use the Free Action to gain resistance, it...

Well, not with the Hybrid in this example you can't, as Hybrid Sneak Attack only works with Rogue Attack powers... Later! Gruns

Except, of course, that you don't deal *half damage on a miss* to minions... Later! Gruns

There's nothing with the name "Tyranasaurus Rex", but there are lots of things in the basic Monster Manual that can be used, depending on the level... For example, the Feymire Crocodile could be used pretty much as is. Maybe lose the Aura and Regen for something a little more dinosaur-ey... Some...

Etc... Most of these were already answered, but some weren't completely answered, so I will be a tad redundant due to my anal retentiveness. :P The Multiclass version of Hunter's Quarry lasts only until the end of your next turn. This means you usually have two attacks(three if you use an...

Defense! Heh. Then again, if the Defender wants to Defend, he also does his job when the enemies mysteriously know about Combat Challenge, and never attack the friends in the first place! I do see your point though, and I feel it's up to the DM to know what the players want and to feed them...

So does the creature that was Marked by a Fighter know the consequences of Combat Challenge? Since the creature isn't really ever under the efect of Combat Challenge, he shoudn't know... but it can be ruled either way. By RAW I'd have to say no, altough I rule that they do. Most of the time...

Unfortunately I don't have my PHB with me, but I don't recall any mention of HOW a creature knows it's marked, just that it knows. It also knows the consequences of said mark and anything that might happen if they ignore the mark (Combat challenge, Divine Challenge, etc). This is a bit...

Not very often. I've only DM'd 4E, and when I do I try to have the creatures act as I think they would. For example, zombies will basically attack whoever is closest or whoever hit them last. Hobgoblins will rarely ever fall victim to an OA. Big dumb ogre types will take a few OAs if their...

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that I think you might be doing it wrong... No, wait... I guess there isn't a right or wrong. But I still found this post to be a bit odd... Now let's see if I can be constructive! Your Swordmage is level 10. A +3 Luckblade is a lvl 13 item. Slightly...

Well... Well, the tradeoff is that you have a generally slightly weaker At-Will power most of the time. (Weaker when compared to most of the other options.) Therefore, there are certain times when it gets to be slightly stronger than just a basic attack, given the right circumstances and...

Meh... I'm calling it a case of shoddy templating. In my game, if a power has the 'use this like a basic attack' rider in any of the various wordings, then it is, for all intents and purposes a Basic Attack. Looking through the Character Builder reveals several different wordings for the...

These...? The Goliath's Belt from AV is a level 9 item that lets you grab creatures up to 2 sizes larger, among other benefits. Giant Gloves let you throw grabbed opponent's around, but it's a level 14 item, and only works on targets your size or smaller. Later! Gruns

I'd given this some thought while writing up some new classes and whatnot a while ago, and it's really a bit too class dependant. You pretty much need at least 2 per race: a Melee type and an Implement type. Or you could go the Dragon Breath route and simply add a +2 to it per tier. That said...

If you mean the Hybrid classes from PHB3, then No, they still aren't there. But as spayne mentioned, other Hybrids have been available for a while. Later! Gruns

Power creep? Why would this be considered 'power creep'...? They are simply new options. They aren't glaringly any better than the options you currently have at this level. (I'm sure one of these feats, somewhere is glaringly better but anyway...) I personally like the skill utilities, but...

Come on! Level 5! Surely you have 360gp lying around so you can throw on some fancy +1 Leather!!! (I know, not the point) I'm going to go with "It's not equipped", too. For what it's worth, if you Add the armor it goes to inventory. If you Buy it, it equips it for you. Later! Gruns

My two cents. Hello. I found that the Daily item restriction was far too limiting and more importantly, far too un-fun. My players want to be able to use ALL of their cool things, not sit around wondering "Well, yeah, item X's power would be handy right now, but then I won't be able to use item...

Wizard Utility 10, in case you were wondering... Later! Gruns
