Concise is debatable but I will say that you're consistent, just not with the rules on page 291. The argument against your position down to this: ***The rules direct that Readied actions take place after their trigger (Immediate reaction) and when complete the PC who readied sets initiative...

That's not what he asked. He's asking if you can sustain once (for damage) and also attack once (for more damage) in the same round. I don't see why you couldn't by RAW, but releasing a creature just to grab it again seems a bit beardy and I don't think that's how the spell was intended to...

You are the man, Cran! Thanks for the legwork. Part 2 on mixed damage is still a little counter intuitive to me since an attack that did Fire, cold, electricity, poison, and acid (mixed) would do FULL damage to a creature with Resist 40 cold electricity, poison AND acid (no resist to fire)...

You're right, of course, it's not exclusive. I spoke too hastilly and with only a cursory glance at the powers. We would agree though that whether because of the fact that they are effects or because they cause damage to the enemy, any immunities would be in full effect in either case. Now...

Hyper, you've been around here forever and I've been reading you for a really long time and I have a lot of respect for your judgment on all these matters, but I would humbly submit that if you would consider that damage not to be "other ill effects", but a separate thing, several confusions and...

First of all note that the description says "When you ready an action, you prepare to react to a CREATURE's action or an EVENT." On the same page so far... Huh? The fighter is the only one who CAN choose the trigger for HIS action. He may just choose what the Warlord tells him to, but it's...

Herschel, I respectfully and STRONGLY suggest that you read PHB 291 under readied actions before you post again. There are 2 bullets that pertain and they are surprisingly clear. One is the "Immediate Reaction" bullet and the other is the "Reset Initiative" bullet. It's only 2 sentences. I...

I agree with the previous poster that it's not bad design if it was intended to hit less often. Spiritual weapon I think is designed that way because even if it doesn't hit anything, it's still granting combat advantage to all your allies AND letting you attack with just a minor action as long...

Normally no, those temp HP would not stack. If you have 2 and get 1 more, you just have 2. If you have 2 and get 3, then you have 3. The exception to this is fighters with the Battlerage Vigor feature. In that case the above rule still applies except when (and only when) using an...

Q1: Pg 282 MM: Immune: The monster has immunity to the stated kind of damage or effect. For example, a monster with "immune to poison" never takes poison damage and can't suffer any other ill effects from a poison attack. The damage from the attacks is specifically Psychic, so you're good to...

That is not at all what makes the Warlord balanced. What makes the warlord balanced is the effects that he creates by his very presence and they should ALL be credited to him. There's a lot of crunch there, and if you narrow your view of what makes a class "good" to what they can do with the...

While convenient for tracking and inconsequential for many situations, it also has the added effect of making the Battlerage Vigor Feature EVEN MORE powerful, since ongoing damage was one of the few ways to prevent the BV fighter from getting his additional +2 damage with his axe (because the...

How are his assumptions/simplifications impossible? He starts with the assumption that the fighter will be next to 2 enemies at some point in the fight? That seems downright likely to me. Assuming that you have a 50% hit chance? That may be arbitrary, but it certainly doesn't shift the...

Ok, so here it is. I know everyone and their brother has their own Char sheet, but I just wanted a WoTC-like char sheet, that didn't suck so I came up with this. The front design was based on these changes from the WoTC sheet: 1. The attack workspace on the front of WoTC is crap, pretty much a...
