To exclude specific squares you can take a feat later on... As far as what squares are effected - I'd say that since 4e is visually (specifically mini) focused, and there is no real mention made in the books that I've seen, scorching burst means exactly that. 1 square out in all directions from...

Yeah, I'd say so long as you're somehow in physical contact with the orb (orb-staff-hand) it should work. And if you take staff as a Second Implement in paragon levels, that'd be cool too.

This is how warlord's are *supposed* to work. And they were playtested with this ability in play. Most of warlord's abilities help the allies, or position the allies, so it's cool they get one that makes them say "Wow, I really made a big difference there." Especially since solos get a bonus...

Interesting suggestions for monk conversion. And maybe some insight into what they're thinking in regards to monk design at the moment?

Wow... warrior of the wild got screwed.

Awesome

I disagree with your math, but even if you were right you'd better hope you have a better than 50% chance to escape that mind flayers grab, because its next move is going to be to daze you and eat your brain or turn you into a thrall. Dazed people aren't too good at escaping, since they only...

He's aiming for a controller wizard (as opposed to a battle wizard) who can use his orb and other abilities later, in conjunction with high wisdom, to give his enemies penalties to their saves or to extend the duration of his "end of your next turn" effects.

Not knowing much about warforged, it's interesting that they can still be bloodied. That means a vampire can use his Blood Drain regeneration attack against them in that state?

Now you're being silly. I doubt he had a cleric or a warlord or a paladin hiking with him. One of the premises of 4e is that a party will have a leader (cleric or warlord) with them treating them during rests. I hope that clears things up some.

Edit: never mind

This is what passive perception for. It's essentially taking ten. That's the average of what the person would get if they rolled 100 perception checks or so. Ex: my 1st level rogue has a passive perception of 17. If he rolled a d20 and added his perception modifier, on average he would get a...

Much better idea, in my opinion.

I think the way 4e is written, knocking down an adamantium door would be a skill challenge - not something you could do with your fist. Here we go... Page 64... Breaking down a 3' thick stone wall. Incredible strength check DC 43. Since a 20 isn't an automatic success, a DC 43 is strictly...

Warlock is the one that really stands out... It states that you can take the paragon path, but the paragon path abilities require the Warlock Curse, which multiclass characters don't get. So while you could take the paragon path, you wouldn't be able to use any of the abilities of that path...

Quick examples. Immediate Reaction - someone hits you, you instantly smack them back. If their attack kills you, your attack never happens. Immediate Interrupt - someone tries to hit you, but you can hit them first. If your attack kills them, their attack never happens.

I can't say as I agree with a single thing in your post, but you're certainly entitled to your opinion. I haven't seen the Warforged errata, are you sure you aren't referring to the playable Warforged as opposed to the monster Warforged? If you didn't notice, none of the races (human, elf...

I don't think Int needs any help. The W classes all use int to some effect, just as the R classes use dexterity. A fighter who wastes precious stat points on int is about as worthless as a wizard who gives up a good int to raise his strength.

I agree that the fumble rule in the DM needs some work, but downplayed it even further. I wanted to make sure fumbles had an in-game effect, but not a debilitating one for monsters and especially not for PCs. My rule is, a natural 1 grants combat advantage til the beginning of your next turn...

If teams work together, it's natural they'll develop power combos that benefit one another... Like the Fastball Special. But I see your point. It may actually be possible to make characters that are completely gimped individually, but grant each other insane bonuses as a group... Like a...
