I find that the best skill challenges are the ones that you don't find out are skill challenges until afterwards, and maybe not even then. --Penn

I'm pretty sure that the intent is that it takes up the same design space as multiclassing (and as spellscars). That's how I've been playing it, anyway. --Penn

Obviously, from this thread, masterwork armor compensates for the stat bonuses that you aren't getting to AC. In addition, however, it also compensates for the difference in effectiveness between bonuses to weapons and armor. A +1 to a weapon gives +1 to hit and damage, a +1 to armor gives just...

Except that as pointed out you have to teleport onto a surface, not into the air. My Shadar-kai rogue has teleported prone (into flank) a couple times when he didn't have enough actions to get up and still move to flank, but really wanted to sneak attack. And he always really wants to sneak...

Named bonuses of the same type don't stack. Many bonuses (particularly from class features) aren't named, and therefore stack with everything. Named bonuses from similar sources usually have the same name. For example, the bonus to Initiative from Quickdraw and from Improved Initiative are both...

I have to go with Kordeth on this, it doesn't change how assigning quarries works other than that they don't drop off when you assign a new one (up to your limit). It makes quarry much more like the Warlock curse. --Penn

I think the question I'm wondering is what about him doesn't fit 4e? Doubtless there's things about Ernie you see that I don't see (or just don't remember from the storyhour), so I'm curious. Don't feel pressured to answer if you don't want to, though, I'm well aware that not all characters (or...

Part of the balancing of delaying and readying is that you move your initiative to the new lower number, rerolling would negate that. In addition, what happens if someone is still delaying at the start of the next round? Do they get to roll, or are the now missing an action for the entire...

I just wanted to comment on this. Most of the Star Warlock powers, other than the at-will, use Charisma (Con comes in there too, but my unofficial survey showed more use Cha). Playing a Human Starlock lets you dump Con to boost Cha, and still have two useable at-will powers (of your three). This...

I've been keeping mine in the original packaging, fitted back into the cardboard frames. This is because I got them mostly for LFR modules, which tell you on each map which sets were used. I figure once the frames fail (which they probably will eventually), I'll just start keeping each set in...

With a Battlerager Fighter, you want to bypass the temp hitpoints, because you get a damage boost while you have 'em. --Penn

Rangers suffer a lot from always doing the same thing, really any ranged character will. Melee characters, on the other hand, and particularly melee strikers, and particularly particularly rogues, will behave differently every encounter. When you absolutely require flanking to get combat...

If someone tried something like much of what has been suggested here, I suspect that I'd be ruling that the refreshing ability doesn't work on encounter utilities, only encounter attacks. :) --Penn

Teach me to read messages more closely. :) --Penn

I believe if you attack multiple enemies you can only apply sneak attack to one. ----- I particularly like the powers that use acrobatics for my 3rd level Brutal Scoundrel, in specific I just retrained into Blade Vault. --Penn

The PC rules model adventuring heroes in a larger-than-life setting where epic deeds are possible for the chosen few. NPC rules model all other people. Monster rules model all over animate creatures. Between those three sets of rules, there's one that doesn't exist in our world, the PCs. There...

I note an interesting synergy... or the reverse I guess. Rage ends when you hit 0 hitpoints. Frenzied Berserkers don't drop when they hit 0 hitpoints, but instead when they fail a death save. However, they'll still drop out of Rage. I wonder if this was intended. --Penn

I question that validity of that statement, it doesn't sound plausible. Can one human even contain that much coolness without freezing solid? --Penn

Thanks for saying everything I was thinking, but in a much more amusing and effective way than I would have been able to do. --Penn

4e and Mind's Eye Theatre, primarily. --Penn
