I created a pile of characters recently, only one chose a skill power over it's own class choices (though there were several close calls). I don't know if they are that much weaker, they all seemed pretty cool. These were just the preview ones in the CB though... I'm glad there's a feat...

This is exactly what I was looking for... thanks! edit: doh! is this supported in the CB? Can you make home-brew powers/adjustments to powers in the CB?

Naw, the close quarters was already in effect. The interrupt was triggered by the rogue attacking while riding the victim around the room... sorry for the confusion. At this point I had conceded to the players point of view - so this next situation was a "weird" result of the ruling... with...

If a player does not want to swap out any of their old powers when the time comes (gaining a new daily) - are there any rules to boost the old power so it's sorta equivalent to the new level? Like +2 to hit added on to it or something? I'm 99% certain my player is going to want to keep knockout...

True, but it is an interrupt, which is a spicier type of meatball, no?

Hmm, well except that close quarters requires that you be smaller than the victim (who must be at least large in size). More a case of your mount teleporting and whether or not you go along with it.

I'm going with no limit to "CA" damage. I'm pretty sure that if there were a one use per round limit, that it would be listed in the ability, as it is for the rogue. Going through all the powers called "combat advantage" in the monster builder - there's a lot of different effects, from 1hp...

That all looks pretty cool... but I've been meaning to ask for a while, what is PEACH?

Our rogue is level 19, and this weekend this situation popped up for the first time... I'm also surprised. I thought close quarters was grab-like, someone holding onto you, and so dismissed when the victim teleports. But my player thought it was more a case of becoming an item that the...

It is one-use only. I think the "melee 2" means it can be used 2 squares away from you, even though you would normally only be able to use a staff on a square adjacent to you. (do staffs have reach now?!?) edit: no they don't, just with this power

My players are doing stuff like this, a few things you should watch out for when kingdom building: - clever players will be able to make a lot of gold... a LOT. However you handle magic item shopping, think ahead and prepare some sort of embargo (the genie network won't sell items higher than...

This is a reverse bag of rats problem. Since you can just as easily K.O. an enemy, you gain zero extra advantage than intended by this power. K.O. the next few guys and your dm will hopefully see that there is no point in restricting you in this fashion. Flavor-wise, an assassin using shadow...

When using close quarters, does a rogue go along for the ride if the victim teleports? "When the creature moves, you move along with it, staying in the same portion of the creature’s space." from the phb, teleportation definition: "No Opportunity Attacks: Your movement doesn’t provoke...

Mergandevinasander of Chult, found in FR, Dragons of Faerûn, elsewhere? This dragon had purple eyes, and the famous Drizzt once impersonated him (pretending to be polymorphed) to trick a red dragon. In... "sojourn" I think.

I play things a little different with rituals and magic items: Magic item super-stores are fine with me, it even makes sense. In a high magic style dnd world, why wouldn't there be the equivalent to a WoW AH? It could be regulated by genies, wizards, gawdz or whatever. Embargoes, sanctions...

The spooky part is that while I wrote that, the post below mine was being written simultaneously... (check the post times) First thing Rechan mentions is the same cartoon!

They may have stolen it from the vampire/werewolf war in the 80's cartoon "the real ghostbusters"

while people are "re-skinning" powers, anyone got a way to describe "walking wounded" on a gas cloud? How about a vampire that turns into a gas cloud - and should technically still be penalized by "walking wounded"? My table was stumped, we let the vamp shake the effect while in gas form.

For realzies? What are people's calls on this then? My situation: A dead monster exploded at the same time as our local barbarian was due for a run-and-smash (which would get him out of the explosion range). I had him and the dead monster roll opposed initiative checks, which the hero won...

what happens with simultaneous triggers? For example, if two powers trigger when someone reaches 0 hp, which one goes first?
