This breaks down when one figures in two things: First, a defender can only ever "trump" one attack per round no matter how many creatures he has marked or how many attacks that don't include him an enemy makes. Second, all of the defenders have ways of marking multiple creatures in a single...

Fluff wise: A wizard who knows how to shield has a permanent aura about him that can potentially be brought to bear to deflect an attack...but this aura only has so much energy to spare. On an instinctive / reflexive level, a wizard knows whether any given strike could be deflected by his...

Well, to be honest, I don't permit / require saving throws for things that don't actually affect the character. A tiefling taking fire damage less than or equal to his fire resistance is not suffering an effect so there is no save. Descriptively, the fire doesn't catch thanks to the tiefling's...

In order to make an OA, you must threaten the square through which the creature moves which means that in addition to being able to attack, you must have line of sight and line of effect to the square. If a phasing creature moves through a square occupied by a creature, and you have LOS / LOE...

Hey, My friend and I run games for each other but we've never had the chance to play together in a game. We're hoping that's where you come in. We looking for a 4e game, any world though we do have a fondness for Eberron. We're both late 20s / early 30s and have lives to go along with our...

One of those feats must be one that allows you to use an at-will with an opportunity attack...you're talking 4 feats to gain (at paragon levels) a +6ish for one ally against one opponent if that opponent happens to invoke an opportunity attack. I guess I don't understand how this is an issue...

Forked from: Multiclassing for at-wills I actually did exactly that...it was decried as too powerful without suggestions for improving it...perhaps here we can discuss balancing it. Of course, the core issue was that the OP wanted a way to get a multiclass at will as an at will w/o paragon...

My curent character is doing paragon multi and actually as a half elf, with the Versatile Master, he gets to choose an enounter, utility, and daily from ANY class list. This feat gives much less than Paragono Multi and could supplement PM because you would be able to have 2/3 first class, 1/3...

conceputally, "save ends both" implies that the conditions are linked or causal. In the case of Hunter's Bear Trap, the slow is being caused by the damage...ditch the damage and you ditch the slowed. Horrific black fire (for a hypothetical example) that deals 5 fire and 5 necrotic damage (save...

So modify it thusly: Focused Initiate Requirement: Level 11+, any multiclass feat that grants an at-will attack power as an encounter attack power. Benefit: Choose an encounter attack power that you gained from a multiclass initiate feat. You can use that power as an at-will attack power.

Now, that said, I don't think it would be terribly unbalancing to introduce the following paragon feat: Focused Initiate Requirement: Level 11+, any multiclass feat Benefit: Choose a multiclass initiate feat that grants you a power or ability (like Combat Challenge, Sneak Attack, an at-will...

I'm sorry if I implied that I thought all psionic powers were inwardly focused. This is not what I intended. I said that the concept of psionics is self-centered rather than other-centered. A psion controlling somone's mind is doing so by imposing her "self" upon the person. Again, not saying...

Healing is not the core theme of the leader...it is a side effect of the core them. The core theme of a leader, IMO, is greater focus upon the efficacy of your allies (extraverted) than on your own efficacy (intraverted). This is why a monk cannot be a leader. Monks, both western and eastern...

And if someone tricked him into drinking a vial of poison he would be affected by it. Also, if there were a prayer, perhaps "Wasting Famine", that descrbed the effect as "You begin starving at horrific speed. You suffer a -2 penalty to all actions (save ends). First failed save, you fall...

Yes...why wouldn't they? It is an effect of the power not a class feature.

Flaming Sphere...sustain minor, attack standard. DC

First, healing surges are a system that creates a mechanic for the restoration of health, energy, vitality, and capacity to battle on to the character. They are not a "thing" any more than a strength bonus, a half level modifier, or an action point is a "thing." So first off, any attempt to say...

Two words on Healing Surges: Bruce Willis Okay...that actually needs three more words: Die Hard series. John McClain gets the crap kicked out of him over and over...he's down (nearly for the count) about a dozen times in a single night. He walks across broken glass, dodges bullets, jumps down...

Not to be a stickler, but this is not a rationalization: It has been explicitly stated to be the case in every edition of the game (since 1e at least) that HP are only partly physical damage. The idea that any person (no matter how heroic) could withstand the impact a dragon's bite or a bear's...

Except chaos doesn't **only** mean randomness...it means formlessness as well. It can also be used to apply to a system that is so complex that it is impossible to ascribe firm rules or patterns to it (even if as you watch you see patterns emerge). Thus, cosmic sorcerers would take a somewhat...
