    Ampersand: The Bard (merged)

    I can live with that without crying. Sounds like the powers are very musically inclined in name. Any "perfomance" type mechanics mentioned outside of powers/combat? what sorts of proficiencies/number of skills? Same hitpoints etc as other leaders?

    D&D 4E Obligatory dump stats in 4e: the irrelevance of Intelligence

    My only question is why isn't initiative a dex/int thing, like ac and ref are? Initiative is your "readiness" or something, how quickly you can pull yourself together. The same logic that lets INT add to ref should let it apply to Initiative. They should have let that be the case and then we...

    Ampersand: The Bard (merged)

    Which stats does he use? Implements? I honestly hope we don't get instruments as an implement....i think i would cry.

    Lay on Hands through multiclassing?

    Martial powers has been said to include further Multi-classing feats....there has been NO indication of what they are, but it is reasonable to assume that they somehow would allow you to get more class features. Its an educated guess, nothing more.

    Lay on Hands through multiclassing?

    Nope, you can only get daily, utility, and encounter powers with feats beyond soldier of faith, and with PP multiclassing you can only get an at-will (and additional daily, utility etc). Currently the you can't get any class features (lay-hands, channel divinity) through multiclassing except...

    Blinded

    ...Because the targets are listed as something like "enemies in 3x3 blast you can see"? well, only if the blind condition specifically states that you can't see anyone. :-P

    Minor items negating major challenges

    This sounds like a sort of ritual something or another. Just have a voice tell them they need to take off their shoes before they under go the trial of the raging tempest. You know some "Only those is touch with the earth and the air can enter, unclad your feat and take off your iron robes"...

    Blinded

    Indeed, as if the magical dagger knows whether you threw it as part of a ranged attack or a blast...its not that smart! :-P Interestingly, using blinding barrage while blinded carries no penalty! I just wanted to stay on topic.

    All Bets Are Off

    In the end, Its best just to ignore the flavor text and ignore the fact that its 1d6 instead of [w] Its a weapon power. It has a mellee attack. It has a damage roll. It has no exceptions to normal weapon type attacks stated. Treat it like every other attack, just only roll 1d6. The results...

    Ferocious Reaction and Action Points

    In order for an exception to me made to the rules, the power would need to say "even if you've already spent an action point this encounter". The power lets you "spend an action point" which is a well defined process, and it points out the exceptions to normal "spending an action point"...

    Blinded

    bursts and blasts simply fill the squares. You can do it just as well with your eyes close. You aren't trying to pick out individual tagets, you are spraying the whole region with whatever energies you're using. Blind has no effect on a fireballs ability to fill a 5x5 region with firey death...

    Forked Thread: A Paladin's Challenge

    I concur, you don't need to engage until your turn. This would end up being a minor exploitation at best.

    Several Swordmage Subjects That Need Answering

    I agree that it is definitely not laid out well at all, but it CAN be straight forward. Don't let the mess swordmage makes by including [w]'s in his implement powers shake you. If its a weapon power, you may use weapon feats and properties (highcrit, brutal, etc), if its an implement, you can...

    Martial Power Excerpt: The Aerialist Rogue

    I want it to be deliberate, at low levels its kinda fair and by the time your dex bonus is super high, you shouldn't still have this power, so i don't think its a killer mistake. it could be the 'Areilist twist' on powers, and there is a prerequisite, etc. But yeah, it definitely has "this was...

    Martial Power Excerpt: The Aerialist Rogue

    Its a little confusing because Rogues had pretty concrete division between builds. The "builds" seemed to have very definite crunch impact. But in truth 'Builds' are just suggestions of how you might want to make a rogue. Aerialist seems to want you to take artful dodger, and suggests a couple...

    Boundless Endurance?

    Or to be less confusing the encounter doesn't end until you take a rest, not when the last goblin dies horribly. Or until nothing has happened for ~5 minutes, which is virtually the same as a short rest anyway. Kinda klunky/non-intuitive no matter how you say it, i guess.

    Martial Powers Excerpt - The Feral Spirit

    Recycled art is never desirable, it more or less translates to me ignoring the picture. But i can forgive them as long as its in a minority. As for the PP: seems like your really basic, no frills path. Useful, dependable but not all that different from what the generic take on the build...

    Disease tracks and treatment

    here's how it works: Bob is sick. Joe has the heal skill. Bob and Joe take an extended rest, Joe watches over bob. Bob makes an endurance check, Joe makes a heal check. Bob uses the best result. (DMG is just pointing out heal CAN be used, its specifically says "go look in the PHB for how...

    Determining line of sight vs cover

    by pretty much this same logic you can't attack from behind an arrow slit, even if you are sitting right behind it.....at the very least they'd have superior cover against you. This would make arrow slits pointless. The best solution is to simply assume that the arrow slit is located at one...

    Epic Fighter is Epic

    I like this destiny for the most part 1) you get stronger, and can do an impressive feat of strength (+10) every now and again 2) you get the oversized weapon ability, and increased reach BUT... 1)No death avoidance 2)the utility is epic lame. Basically 8-10 damage on a miss (and seems to...
