Yes, and why not? The wizards did have to take a skill training feat and boost the appropriate stat to be as good as the ranger. Ppl could do the same in 3E.

The 1st is for NPCs. Please read that chapter's introduction to understand why.

As others said most of the time forced movement isn't a strong kinetic force being applied. And none of the effects that are like charges or backhanding are strong enough to put a person through a wall or do extra dmg. It would make the power more powerful that it really should be anyway, if you...

That's why they defined the ranger as a striker. The ranger has perception on his class list anyway allowing him to track well, which very few others have, so what's the problem? That a rogue can do it too? 4E is specifically trying to avoid a general group/type abilities that only one class...

That would be 3.5

Most dragon lairs should have a ceiling high enough for the dragon to take flight in it's own lair, for a young or adult dragon it either requires only a ceiling of 15 (young dragon) or 20 (adult dragon) feet high to be able to take flight and hover above the party like a death machine that's...

Exact. He doesn't even have to have a lot of space to fly around, with the hover ability he just have to stay 2 squares up above the wizard and stay in reach of his melee attacks to maul the wizard to death without the defender being able to do a thing about it unless the defender has a reach...

This. Judging on how there isn't elixirs while they are mentioning to exist in the PHB and how they handled KotS pre-gens and various other things that I saw ... they havn't been afraid to cut stuff from 4E products that might have made sense to be in it when they hit their maximum...

Example : in KotS a player trying to seduce Ninaran at the inn. His motives might not be special at first beside "scoring" and just flirting around, but it may very well have repercussions on the adventure at hand. I am not gonna be a player in that one (as I am gonna DM it), and I don't think...

And since the discussion also derailed about dragons vs gods : Don't forget that the MM entries are only average "generic" dragons. The truly powerful ones are the movers and shakers of teh world that will not only be advanced as much as 5 levels up (a lvl 35 solo red dragon anyone?!) but...

Well, I am less tired now and I can more clearly see ways for even melee PCs to get some good attacks in on an hovering dragon that stays at his reach 2 distance to spite them. This still clearly gives a very potent weapon to the low levels dragons that have enough room to hover vs any PC groups...

Two ideas : 1) a lone PC trying to seduce a cute girl or princess (or a villain?) 2) a PC trying to seduce somebody with the help of his buddies Which skills would you allow? How would you allow the PC's buddies to help him achieve his goal? Could there be diff levels of success? Easy, make...

I was reading my MM tonight (well, all night) and after reading the first few dragons I was thinking this after thinking about how to use them in battles vs PCS. All dragons have Fly (hover) ... PCs don't really get any fly powers until mid paragon levels. And ranged attacks that make a target...

Maybe MM and EB are exceptions nm, looking at the battle mage paragon path, I think not

I like the magic circle idea

Look at the item's level.

:area: I am happy that I pre-ordered mine through my local hobby shop, got them without a fuss, even though it was at normal price.

Kudos for the "best of" compilations. Too bad we have to wait at least a year before the 1st one, hehe.

I also think Blade Cascade has a very bad potential to munchkiness. I am not sure how that could have been overlooked. In my game I think that after the 1st two attacks there will be a cumulative -2 to hit per attack starting at the 3rd attack (when Cascade "resets").

The warforged in the MM is for NPCS, not players. (Read the into at the start of that section, it's explained). The warforged in Dragon 364 is for PCs. When you look at how differently NPCS n PCs are built, how the warforged was treated is very consistent with how 4E views monsters and PCs in...
