    Stacking To Hit/Damage bonuses on Action Point

    That right. And as I said if he used his action point at the start of the round he would get his +4 battle mage bonus on both fire shroud and sphere.

    Stacking To Hit/Damage bonuses on Action Point

    Battle Mage - When you spend an action point to take an extra action, you also gain a +4 bonus to attack rolls until the start of your next turn. This applies to all rolls of an area attack. Interestingly if you spend the action point before you took a standard action you would get the bonus...

    In-game rewards for out-of-game activity

    This is roughly what we do, although they are fixed at +2 and you can't trade up. Given for in and out of game cool stuff.

    Two familiar questions

    Unless you take a feat to do so, moving the familiar and you takes 2 separate move actions

    The Essential Knight

    Normal Fighter Round 1: Move - Move Standard - Charge Twice as far. In the first example if the bad guys start further than 5 away (which to be honest probably happens more than not) you cannot do anything in the first round. To take things to the absurd (and just for completeness, I don't...

    The Essential Knight

    Isn't Power Attack identical to the half orc racial ability? It's nothing new, and a bit odd that a class gets as his level 1 encounter power something that is as powerful as a racial ability.

    The Essential Knight

    Indeed, all of the stuff previously that is based around MBA (feats, items etc) were made with the fact that MBA are not the core of a class, they are mainly for bonus attacks that don't happen every round. Another thing about the stances (as well as the dazed thing) is that both the stance and...

    extended rests

    Couple of things to bear in mind (especially as you are new to the game) 1) Just becuase you are out of daily powers doesn't mean that you cannot carry on. Make sure the players understand this. Granted this does get easier at higher levels when you have more encounter powers etc. Ultimatly the...

    Have sheilds been errated to be not arms slot items?

    The character builder lets you equip both a magic shield and magic bracers. It puts the shield in the off hand slot.

    Scion of Arkhosia Questions....

    Sorry, but you are wrong. Double moves explicitly combine the 2 moves into one. A character with a move of 5 moving across difficult terrain. 2 separate move actions = move 2 squares per move action A double move = move 5 squares total

    What is the penalty to attack with 2 weapons....

    Only because some multi weapon attacks have different effects for the main and offhand attacks. For everyone else it does not matter and never comes into play.

    What is the penalty to attack with 2 weapons....

    In 4th edition holding and wielding are not the same thing. Wielding is defined as using the item to attack. Any character can hold a longsword in either hand and use either of them to attack. If that character has an ability (like twin strike) that has the requirement of wielding 2 weapons then...

    Brew potions without brew potions

    Potion of healing was also errated to be level 1. You don't need to be trained in a skill to master a ritual. Both brew potion and enchant magic item don't need a skill check so all the arcana part of the ritual does is determine which ritual ingredients it uses.

    Psionic at-will scaling

    The way augment powers are written is that the augment section adds to the base power OR replaces what is there if it is the same (i.e. if the augment adds MISS: Half damage there is no reason for there to be an attack line). It's a bit confusing :confused:

    False Bravado (PHB3)

    As others have said it is not overpowered at all as a PC power. NPCs and monsters don't get feats by default so there is no problem there. If you decide you want to give your npcs feats and other PC abilities, then weather it is overpowered or not is 100% up to you.

    D&D 4E Any good 4e iPhone apps?

    That's not really an app though - it's a website that is optimised to work with an iphone.

    D&D 4E I admit it. I don't "get" 4e psionics.

    Yeah, this is my prioblem with the augmentable classes too. The other problem even if you do find a higher level power that is slightly better than a level 1 at will, you are still better off keeping the lower level one as it is cheaper. It's better to use a 2 point level 1 power threee times...

    Alternatives to individual XP awards

    We do this too. For individual acts of excellence (in game and out of game) we are given tokens that can be cashed in for +2 to any roll (has to be declared before the roll).

    Skill Powers and Power Creep

    The gain skill power feat doesn't have the caveat that you can take it more than once, so the general rule that you can't take the same feat more than once applies. So a character can only gain one skill power via the feat.

    How Many Coins in a Sack of Gold?

    The parcels are a guideline - what they have done is determined the amount of treasure a party should get over the course of a level and divide it up into easy chunks so that you don't have to keep a running total of every GP all the time. You can combine parcels or split them up anyway you...
