You go to the Wizards of the Coast website, click on the bottom left 'Help' link, then the tab that says 'Email Us'. There are also several frequently asked questions for various products there. I will tell you though that for purposes of asking rules questions, typically a customer service...

If a player has boosted his Perception high enough to detect traps automatically, then I think that's fine. What good is it to have a secret door if the players never find it? And I think it would be much simpler to notice those low level traps like the Lvl 2 Spear Gauntlet, but as traps get...

He's gotta survive low levels before he can think about future developments :p

:erm:

It is definitely built "suboptimally," but not a terrible character. All the pregens used the standard ability array as opposed to point buy (except the downloadable tiefling warlord) so that would allow some more customization/optimization were you to use that. We haven't used the pregens more...

I don't believe there are any mob rules for 4th edition (as of yet). There were some in the 3.5 DMG II though, but that was for 3.5 of course.

I don't think players have excessive amounts of hit points. They have a large amount yes, but not compared to strong monsters. Monsters are fairly able to hit even the highest AC member of the party now, so the players will consistently be taking damage. If you follow the guidelines exactly, at...

As an example take this scenario: You're a Paladin. You begin your turn by Challenging an enemy, who is standing 5 squares away from another enemy. You must now pretty much go into melee with the marked enemy. The other enemy attacks your friends, and moves several squares or so away, so he is...

I interpret the Divine Challenge to literally mean you can't just target someone as your last possible action unless you are already adjacent. However, I allow that tactic in games. That was the way everyone at the table interpreted it originally, which leads me to believe it makes more sense...

Even if you took the multiclass feat to let you count as a Fighter for purposes of taking the Fighter feats, which Fighter feats would do anything for you if you don't have the Combat Challenge feature? I think it is more like, "In the future, should we publish more Fighter feats or your group...

I agree in a straight comparison the level 1 ability is better because it has additional effects, but I think there is still a place for the level 3 ability as it is the only one with 2[w] damage at that level. If you like dealing big damage, you would take the level 1 and the level 3. If you...

Unfortunately not. EDIT: Actually, as written you don't get Combat Challenge at all, just the ability to inflict the Marked condition. You can see that on the Conditions page, 277 PHB.

Right. If you wanted to, you could use the Point Buy to exactly replicate the Array. All you are missing out on is the extreme precision that min-maxing your stats with point buy can grant, which may or may not be necessary for your character (and maybe not something you want to start with right...

They could have done a little better describing it, but I think you are putting too much into the literal mechanics. To me, even if it is dim light you can't Stealth right next to a guy (unless that guys can't see you or is "distracted"). You technically have "concealment" but I think that is...

Nobody said you can't invent new items, just ask your DM.

I am also unclear what this thread's goal is, but I will argue just because it is the internet. ;) I think the circumstances are important. If a creature hides in the first place, and nobody was ever aware of him, he may as well be invisible. Hiding is actually using the Stealth skill, which...

What's the damage on the trowel in the third link? Looks like it might be a superior weapon :p

If you are concerned about the timing, have the healer Delay until the Paladin's turn in the initiative is about to come up, and heal him right then. That way he can get up right away without staying vulnerable on the ground while conscious.

It is covered by the rules, there is just no more extra radius of dim light that extends past every light source. I think it is helpful if you consider the radius given to be the effective light range, with it being brighter near the origin and gradually dimming at the extremes of the range...

Or if you just don't like the downed member at the moment and would prefer he stay unconscious for awhile. But yeah, triggering the Second Wind is better only as long as it is an option.
