    How to treat invisibilty outside combat

    Powers arent extended outside of combat, in the way you're inquiring... I did a brief look at some magic items, and the only thing i came across was the Cloak of Invisibilty (granted it's epic level lol)... but it has a daily power that let's you become invisible until end of an encounter (or...

    The dominated condition and sneak attack

    Well, i decided to look into where to send them questions lol... under the WotC website, I found it under "contact us" and "email"... I sent the following question 3 times: If a PC is dominated they can attack their allies if the power says "target creature". However, the issue in question...

    The dominated condition and sneak attack

    I see you pushing this same "argument" but i dont see you putting it to practice, other than getting a CS agent to answer an, IMO, incomplete question... Why not write out specific question and submit it three times? or call all these people you apparantly know and ask? Here's the question i...

    The dominated condition and sneak attack

    You are dismissing the book source, which has been written, created and constantly edited by, i'm sure, hundreds of WotC people... forgive me for saying, but i'm gonna assume an actual source book, after amendments/erratas, that it will trump a single contact from whom may or may not get the...

    The dominated condition and sneak attack

    For story purpose, go nuts with using the literal term of being Dominated. But for those using pure RAW, it is super clear on what Dominated is defined. But you have to remember, they can still attack and use powers that say "target creature"... there is a difference between creature and enemy...

    Building a practical unarmed monk

    a Ki item is an implement on it's own, and does not stack with implement weapons. You gotta pick one or the other... so stacking is no good... the only reason why Ki implements exist is so monks can go unarmed and not miss out on implement enhancement bonuses. If you decide to use weapons...

    Scout: Dual Weapon Attack & Power Strike interaction

    I took some time to examine this more closely and came to the same conclusion i recently posted... "must be the same level" is stating clearly that the requirement keyword is for the power having a level... It doesnt matter that the powers are exactly the same, because that's not part of the...

    Scout: Dual Weapon Attack & Power Strike interaction

    I never knew about the "pro-tip" draco has mentioned... initially, i would call shenanigans on doing such a thing... I also have to say that; if one of the requirements is in fact "must match the level", that in itself indicates a level is required... and having no level listed, is no level at...

    Scout: Dual Weapon Attack & Power Strike interaction

    I do agree that the Power Strike EP should be a utility... But, i personally think the Scout class has the potential of being, by far, the best striker class, even without the PS... If a Scout hits with a BA you can use Dual Strike... Dual Strike is a 2nd damage roll in the same round. This is...

    The dominated condition and sneak attack

    I totally agree with this. In my game, my slayer was dominated and our defender tried to mark me to control me a little. However, since i am still considered an ally and not an "enemy", he could not... same idea with sneak attack... Dominated is a name to a condition... if the DM says it's a...

    Building a practical unarmed monk

    At level 12 it could look like this: +6 (22 dex) +6 (lvl 12) +3 (implement) +1 Unarmed expertise There is a pre-essentials unarmed exptertise to get +1 and another +1 at 15th, 25th... not up to par with essentials, but it does give you a +16 to hit over all... now, remember, you are never...

    Building a practical unarmed monk

    I made a mock monk on the CB and noticed very quickly that all their attacks are implement only, with mostly touch attacks. The monks get a natural unarmed strike bonus as they level up. This does not seem to stack with weapons you equip, simply because the attacks are implement attacks, and...

    Power Attack feat and Touch attacks

    Hey all, Can the Power Attack feat be used with touch attacks? Example: Monk attacks? Or is the "weapon" keyword required in the attack used?

    Melee and Reach

    Quick and simple question: What's the difference (or perhaps define) between Melee, Melee 1 and Reach 1?

    Granting vs Gaining CA

    I'm not sure i agree 100%... I still believe at a very small level there is a difference between the two... Allow me to present another specific example and tell me what you think: Cunning Stalker Feat: You GAIN combat advantage against enemies that have no creatures adjacent to it other than...

    Granting vs Gaining CA

    OK, i understand that... but can you help with the example I provided? Does someone who GAINS CA able to utilize effects/bonuses that require the opponent to be GRANTING CA specifically?

    Granting vs Gaining CA

    Hey all... I have a question that until recently i always thought was the same thing... and perhaps it is, but we'll see lol Basically, there are conditions that may say you GAIN Combat Advantage (CA) and times it says the target GRANTS CA... are these the same? Let me post an example that got...

    Using a readied action to double up sneak attacks. How acceptable? How palateable?

    There's a rogue feat that allows you to use SA twice in the same turn... it's a heroic tier feat... cant recall the name (no books present)... Although holding your extra action would work (as an immediate reaction), this feat kinda simplifies everything, imo...

    Heal check in combat

    Very well put... I appreciate all the feedback, and will present them to my group... i have to say, the quote above has convinced me to side with it not being a AoO... Before reading this, i was siding with Bob's thoughts, for i saw the same visual effect... i guess with the proper story...

    Heal check in combat

    Here's the scenerio that came up: Our Warlord dropped below 0 and was dying. There were 2 enemies adjacent on either side of him in flanking positions. Our druid was able to shift next to the Warlord, but now also adjacent to the two enemies as well. The druid rolled a Heal skill check to...
