Sure, but it's already been used, so it's worthless to them. And since you activated it, you're the one who sustains the power and controls when they come back. I suppose they might try to destroy it, and the GM would need to decide if that traps them there or sets them free. Then again, if you...

Hence why I said "Anything that prevents you from teleporting..." You'll need something else in place to capitalize on this aspect of the orbs.

I like the idea of the orbs, but they're too easily broken. Anything that prevents you from teleporting turns them into a free monster "killer." Set it so you and a few enemies are in the burst, ignore the teleport on yourself, and then sustain it until you're ready to fight the guys you just...

In the heroic tier, minions typically are worth around 1/4 of a standard monster, because resources are lower and automatic damage (outside of a Warlock with the right rod) is almost nonexistent.

You can also find a truncated version of them in the Monster Manual, as well as some articles useful to them in Dragon.

The compiled and updated issue we've been quoting uses the word weapon twice.

If that's how you want to interpret it, have fun.

Wearing a weapon no more helps you use two weapon powers than having a sheathed sword does. If the armor lets you use ranger powers, your big toe (an improvised weapon you're constantly wielding) also does. Good luck.

Obviously you will not be convinced that it's a weapon, despite it saying twice that it is a weapon. Have fun! You cannot wield an offhand weapon and a two-handed weapon, so good luck convincing anyone that your armor counts as your offhand weapon when you aren't capable of using the claws. If...

Right. It says "this weapon" but isn't a weapon. Interesting.

Then why did you continue to insist it's not a weapon.

You need total cover or total concealment in order to make a stealth check, but only standard cover or concealment to maintain it. If you use bluff you don't need total cover or total concealment to make the initial check.

That only means invisibility can't be sustained id the target is out of range. the author's need to specify an exception lends credence to the interpretation that it's possible in general.

what level are you playing at, and what's your party makeup. Those two factors determine how useful minions are from the GM side of the table. I love the idea of minions too, having first used them in Exalted and Scion (where they're called extras). However, in those games XP isn't awarded on a...

What I find myself wishing WotC had done with minions is to not go with a simple 1:4 ratio. Instead measure each minion's worth individually. A minion with resist all 10 would be able to survive a lot of auto damage, and would be worth more than 1/4. A minion with artillery could keep from being...

Reaping Stance, in terms of damage, will outperform supremacy of Steel in most encounters, as it will do much more than 6[W] (it does 1[W] + 10) minimum, more if your dex mod is high (and you won't have it if it isn't). Reaper's Stance is a bad example though, because as stances go it's among...

1) We're not talking about a rogue, so that point is moot. 2) What's the benefits of a +1 armor with a defensive power and a +1 weapon with an offensive power compared to a +1 armor with mediocre offense and 0 defense beyond the base enhancement? I already agreed that you save money, but that's...

Read the item. It says it is a weapon. I don't understand how you can say it isn't a weapon when it says twice that it is. Perhaps you're looking at the first version, not the updated (and quoted) one?

I disagree. It isn't giving you a power. There is no mention of it being a power, no "at-will" tag, nor anything else that would indicate it's a power. If it gave an at-will power, it would be described like every other at-will power on an item: "Power (At will): do stuff." It's definitely a...
