That seems like it would solve the exploit mentioned, but it also takes away a lot of potential power that I think the designers meant for this power (and those like it) to have. For example, if the 'buffed' character spends an action point, both attacks should get the bonus. In addition, the...

That's how the rules work. Neither of those 'solutions' rectifies the problem at hand, as mentioned in the OP. ~

Phrase the power like this: Righteous Brand | Cleric Attack 1 [snip] Hit: 1[W] + Strength modifier damage, and one ally within 5 squares of you gains a power bonus to melee attack rolls against the target equal to your Strength modifier, beginning at the end of this turn and lasting until the...

Yeah, that's like my interpretation, but I like the coupon metaphor :) So, Smeelbo, now make some base items for me to steal! My players keep cutting off dragon talons and wings, hoping to use them somehow. It would be cool if a dragon's talon served as a base item that could be used for...

Good! I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought this would be cool. I'm not sure of the legality of it, either, but this line will always be free, so I don't expect any problems. Ehhhhh. That seems unlikely for two reasons: 1) One of the original tenets of this idea was how easy it would be to...

Ah, sweet recompense. Very cool episode . . . like a jambalaya of good ideas, complete with ham and shellfish. Also I shouldn't have said I felt ripped off before . . . maybe 'tricked'. I felt tricked. In a, "Hey, you got me; good trick!" kind of way. Anyway, I've got to go. I'm late for my...

While I am very intrigued by the idea of skinning a displacer beast for a displacer beast's hide that can be used to make a Displacer Cloak, and a lot of what you're saying sounds very interesting . . . I don't think I understand at all. So, you can take your displacer beast's hide and use it...

Hm. The stuff you talked about seems to be stuff that's indicative or 'barbarian' in a historic sense . . . that is, an 'uncivilized' culture. But, I define my fantasy-genre barbarians differently. Just as a rogue is sneaky and cunning, a barbarian is short-tempered, angry, and strong. Whether...

Hm. Turns out this guy in Uzbekistan has been searching for me, because he wants to give me money. All I need to do is send him is my bank account number! ~

Tables that could be useful for this purpose exist on page 185 of the DMG. What I'll probably do, though, is just reduce whatever dice the monster would use to d4s, and keep the same damage bonus. If the power dealt 1d6+2, it now deals 1d4+2. If it dealt 2d12+18, it now deals 2d4+18. If it...

Is this meant for player characters? 4E is built around powers, and without them, combat is much less interesting than even 3.5. I guess this looks like it could represent a city guard PC, but why not just make the city guard an NPC with a monster stat block? I guess I'm just trying to figure...

When I get to the end of a race writeup to the 'sample adventurers' section of a Wizards product, I tend to scowl. However, I like to read the entirety of something once I start, so I finish. I think the reason I don't like the 'sample adventurers' section is that I find it useless, and rarely...

Hm, not much to say, and I haven't really mentioned it anywhere else. Basically, the players are stolen from their home planes by an unknown force (well, the players don't know), and then they get tossed through the multiverse, wandering the planes on different adventures until they achieve some...

A monster's anti-magic aura gives a -4 penalty to attack rolls with Arcane powers. ~

Actually, the charging rules specifically say you can't perform any more actions on your turn unless you spend an action point. So that part works fine :) Thanks for the reply! Sometimes I post theoretical rules questions to help design some classes I'm working on . . . hehe. ~

The rules say a character is not allowed to take any more actions during their turn after charging. It also says free actions can be used any time, even during another player's or enemy's turn. I couldn't find any examples of free actions that you'd want to use after a charge (other than...

You could use this. It's a 3.5 class I made called the brightsoul, designed to be used with the race also included: the flamekin (as seen in Magic: the Gathering's Lorwyn setting). I could easily see this class being used as a firebender. I created this shortly before 4E was released, so I...

Nabbed. I haven't looked at it, though, but I'll keep it in reserves for future campaigns :) ~

I voted locations, because I wouldn't mind inspiration for some planes in my new campaign set in the Magic: the Gathering multiverse . . . . . . but the BBEG option and PC Backgrounds would also very interesting to see. ~
