    School me in th art of Charging.

    I agree, my table ruling is in conflict with my previous statement to some degree. My first statement was an attempt to impart the RAW (hence the quote) but also the Rules As Commonly Interpretted. The second statement, of course, is just how I would rule and anyone is welcome to think I'm off...

    School me in th art of Charging.

    This is a GM's call, I'm afraid, as nothing explicitly defines directly. At my tables, I would allow this but I know many people who would not. The most common rule I've seen applied at tables is the range rule, in your example you are at range 3 from the target, so your first step in the...

    School me in th art of Charging.

    1) As long as each square is moving you closer, you can zig-zag, just no movement that does not reduce your range to the target. 2) Absolutely, this is very common and useful. Often I will charge a ranged combatant, who will shift away 1 square on their turn, and I will shift back 1 square on...

    School me in th art of Charging.

    This is incorrect, for two reasons. First, a Free action can indeed be performed after a charge. This is clarified by the FAQ for Player's Handbook 2 at FAQ for Player's Handbook II! which clearly states this in the answer to question 6. Secondly, Immediate actions can never be used on your...

    Polearm Warden Builds

    My advice, don't do it. Warden's can only Mark in Close Burst 1, and combine that with the fact RAW a charge with a reach weapon must stop 1 square away from the enemy (p287, PH, Charge/Movement Requires: "nearest square from which you can attack the enemy") you are giving up WAY to much for...

    Is momentum conserved when teleporting?

    For the record, by the rules, this wouldn't work for reasons unrelated to momentum preservation. A readied action uses a standard action to prepare an action as an immediate reaction (PHB 291). This means that your action would go off after the intended action (plummeting to your death) not...

    Dynamic Excel "Wiesbaden Charactersheet"

    Great Tool I just wanted to say thank you to the team that created this wonderful tool. I'm looking forward to future updates, specifically the inclusion of Barbarian. As a subscriber to D&D Insider, I've tried the Character Builder beta, but to me the flexibility of this Excel spreadsheet...

    Rogue's At-Will Sly Flourish, is it too good ?

    Thank you Donovan for the nod to Radio Free Hommlet (http://hommlet.com) yes, here is my read of the Rogue. Sly Flourish - Really darned good, lots of damage, against AC though so hits only SO often. If you're the flanking artful dodger rogue, this is a no brainer. Others should consider...

    10 Characters, 7 Goblins, and a Hill Giant

    Per PHB page 288 : Coup de Grace: Standard Action CdG is a standard action, and the auto-kill is an option of the outcome of the standard action. No one standard action did more than its bloodied value, hence no "Slaying the Target Outright". As has been previously pointed out, only the...

    Defenders handing out free attacks (to opponents)

    I've played through a good bit of Keep on the Shadowfell already, plus I played at DDXP both LFR previews. Let me be clear about this in : MARKING WORKS! If marked by a Paladin, that Paladin is now subject to the requirement to strike you every round or lose that mark. If you don't attack him...

    "Rawr, I'm a Monster!!!" Audio Clips?

    Goodness gracious, this will likely consume some bandwidth on my server, but here you go. It's been my ringtone on my Blackberry for over a month. http://timrayburn.net/imamonster.mp3
