My problem there is that you don't see a similar blatant effect with, say waraxe vs. greataxe or craghammer vs. maul. Greatswords (and falchions) just seem kind of meh compared to most other military two-handers.

Morvannon turns at Mikara's words, deflating somewhat. "Oh, the ring! Oh. Well. Never mind, then. Kamotz, I'll contact Reggie when we get back to town. I need a non-magical fire, and I don't really feel like starting one in the middle of this forest. I'd also rather get our business with the...

I sent WOTC's Customer Service people a question about this last month (due to discussions about Versatile weapons and Small character), and got the following answer:

"Lost the ring?!?" Morvannon stares at Kamotz in disbelief. He snarls at the remains of the ritual circle. "Arrgh, and this is so badly done it could go anywhere! Or nowhere! Clod-handed orcs!" He closes his eyes and brings his hands up to rub his temples. *Some help you were.* *my hands were...

Shaking his head to clear it from the magical feedback, Morvannon moves to examine the runes with Magnus. Arcana check (+8) = 25.

Hey all. Sorry about that, I was out of town for the past week.

Looking over the rules for conjurations in general and the spirit companion in particular: 1. Conjurations are unaffected by terrain and environmental phenomena, and do not need to be supported by a solid surface. So I'd say that it wouldn't set off traps, or fall into pits. 2. According to the...

OOC: Yeah, what CaBaNa said.

Well, at low levels it's good-to-great because you get to roll twice for a chance to do damage. As you gain levels, what makes it really spectacular is that your Strength bonus gets overshadowed by all the *other* static bonuses you can accumulate from weapon enhancements, feats, etc., which...

The Melee Training feat in PH2 allows you to choose an ability other than Strength for making melee attacks. I think it only applies to melee basic attacks, but I could be wrong.

Are we waiting for something in particular?

Unless you're a two-weapon ranger, or a sword-and-board fighter, or a halfling barbarian, or.... It's still the best +3 one-handed weapon in the game.

This. The PH2 states this very clearly on page 204, under "Using a Weapon as an Implement".

Think of it this way. The Bastard sword is meant to be an upgrade from the Longsword, while the Fullblade is meant to be an upgrade from the Greatsword. The fact that the Bastard sword is also an upgrade from the Greatsword is a reflection of the fact that the Greatsword is kind of lame compared...

Morvannon pulls out his rod and sickle while waiting for Kamotz and Mikara to return. *I hope they don't get chased back here, but I may as well be prepared* Morvannon Rinael- Level 1 Half-Elf Warlock Passive Perception:10, Passive Insight:17, Senses: Low-light AC:15, Fortitude:12, Reflex:14...

Thank you both!

One thing I've found looking it over quickly -- the Collapsing Ceiling hazards are not marked on the maps for the Ambush! encounter.

I don't think that's likely. The "skrrlch" sound in the second-to-last panel is, IMO, most likely V's windpipe getting crushed just as Xykon is describing.

Yeah, there was a reason the first thing the angel said to the shepherds was "Do not be afraid." ;) As far as dragons go, why would a creature that lives for hundreds, nay thousands of years, growing into a power that rivals the mightiest gods and demons, have motivations that bear any...

Echoes of Thunder is a feat from PH2. "When you hit with any thunder attack power, you gain a +1 bonus to damage rolls until the end of your next turn. The bonus increases to +2 at 11th level and +3 at 21st level."
