I will point out that if it's really important to your PC, you can take the Low Crawl feat, which lets you shift while prone. -Dan'L

Yes; however, since the bonus it gives is from the same named source, the bonus does not stack. The net result is still just a +1. -Dan'L

This is not true. The old wording for Weapon Focus was "damage rolls made with your chosen weapon group." This is demonstrably not the same as "attack with a weapon" in its syntax, and debatably not the same in its meaning or intent. The RAW is not so clear here as you purport, i.e. to the...

Rapid Shot (and the other Hunter At-wills for that matter) require ranged basic attacks "with a weapon." I think that a reasonable interpretation of this would preclude RBAs that do not include "weapon" as a keyword (i.e., no Acid Orb w/ dagger implement) Also, it's debatable whether Rapid...

I've noticed before that some things say "x causes a creature to grant CA" while others say "x causes a creature to gain CA." And up until now, it was all kind of one and the same, CA was CA, doesn't matter how you got it, you have it. But now, with Holy Symbol Expertise, what was once simple...

More to the point, the PHB also contains this wording (p. 130), and you can't get much more primary a source than that. As secondary, anecdotal support, I'll mention the D&D comic book (I know, far from authoritative) which in the back of issue 4 has the character sheet for a Star Pact Warlock...

If you check out the original printed source, neither the Paragon Thief nor the Epic Thief have any options for utility powers at any level 11-30. It's hard-wired into the builds. Compare the chart for Thief (HotFL 174) where levels 2, 6, and 10 all read "utility power" to the Paragon Thief &...

Not quite the same, but I did something like this as a player, once, to the DM. Basically, I realized/suspected that the NPC he had tagging along with the group was likely a mole/spy/traitor. Rather than discuss this with the other PC's while the DM was present, I waited until he was out of...

Has there been an official ruling that makes this so? Because, as written, Reserve Maneuver lets you swap out a power from your class, but not your paragon path. Last I looked (which was just now) your Paragon Path is not your class, and is defined in distinction to your class. Just because a...

I'm fairly sure that I'd personally not consider it necessary to do anything in order to find the metagaming players from the other. Generally, if you have a metagaming player, you already know it without having to bait and set a trap. And as I initially stated, I don't believe that I would...

The "and" v. "or" is relatively moot. Read it as "and/or" if it makes you happier. The point was, and still is, that it was a test of the players' collective character and play-style, and that this is really a dick thing to do. Whether or not the "test" was well-constructed or well-applied...

My initial thought when reading the OP's story was that, no, it was fine; not dickish at all. But what kept niggling at me was this: The whole raison d'etre for this plot diversion was not as a story point, not as a tool to test or trap the *characters,* but as a way to test and trap the...

Also, many of the Slayer's stances are ranged-weapon compatible. You can pull out the longbow when you need to. It is funny, though, that from what we've seen the ranger build isn't ranged and the cavalier isn't a horseman. -Dan'L

Quite obviously, they're holding that slot open for the "snow bunny" companion. Benefit: You gain +2 Endurance for being able to make it through those long winter nights. -Dan'L

Well, Favored Soul will give you the more consistent access to flight in the long run, with it's Level 16 path feature giving an always-on flight speed. Unveiled Visage only gives a flight speed as an encounter-long effect on it's level 20 daily power, and the "flying as part of a charge" from...

I went with a Deva Avenger and Unveiled Visage PP for my flying avenger. Thematically, it works that the immortal aspect of the Deva's soul is manifesting itself. (I considered Favored Soul, but chose for the immediate satisfaction of flying on charges starting at level 11 over waiting to...

I'm pretty sure the proper way to find your target in combat while blinded is to use a free action to yell "Marco!" and then aim at the responding voice(s) calling out "Polo!" -Dan'L

Let me try! This'll be a 4e character, done "race first" using a half-elf: Hah! Equivalent of ~9 point buy! This Infernal Warlock won't be long for the world. -Dan'L

That would seem pretty magical to me in a fantasy setting;) ROGUE: This must be it! See how the essence of people have been captured in a mere slip of paper? Magic most dire! *** Regarding more powerful magic being harder to detect, I'm picturing a situation where you get a huckster...

Just a quick note: for a party of 4 characters, this is actually a level +2 encounter. But that should still be within the reach of a party. Combats can get really swingy with a leaderless party. Recovering from a run of cold dice is really hampered, and player tactics become crucial. As...
