I'm not expecting it to become an implement anytime soon... But if it does happen I'll be a happy sorceror/daggermaster ^^ That said, it would be possible (although extremely foolish) to use deft hurler style to grant you a basic ranged attack with a drow long-knife, and if you had arcane...

Yes, I know. What I mean is, two fisted shooter allows you to make a basic ranged attack with that *weapon*. Could you still use it as an implement to make a basic ranged attack?

I'm waiting 'til they let me use a crossbow as an implement, so I can use two fisted shooter to fire acid orbs on a crit. As an aside, does that work? If you can use a weapon as an implement, and you're allowed to make a basic attack with that weapon, can you use a basic at-will instead?

I have no opposition to the concept of wishlists in principle, as long as players don't expect to get everything on their lists. Particularly, if one of your players decides to whip multiclass, and you don't put any whips in the game, he's going to be a sad player. Yes, they can make their own...

One of the big things about D&D has always been the separation of combat and non-combat system, which I think is a good idea in a game that is essentially a tactical skirmish game with RP elements. If Hitting People were a skill, then everyone would just buy a skill focus in it. The class/level...

The reason a charge ends your turn is to stop you from charging someone, then moving away afterward. A charge essentially gets you two actions for the price of one, so it's quite a powerful ability, especially for monsters. Ending someone's turn after a charge does the players more good than...

Oh, yeah, I forgot to put that on. The compendium makes me lazy with that kind of thing ^^;;

There's Soul of Sorcery, a Sorceror multiclass, that gives you resist 5 to a type of your choice. Arcana Ward is a channel divinity that you can use to give yourself resistance to a damage type when you get hit by it. But as a dragonborn, SoS fits your stat bonuses well, so if you didn't have...

Firstly, +8 is a very big stat mod for a level 3 character. How did it get so high? I can see a +1 weapon, and weapon focus if you bought it... Unless you were very lucky and got a +2 weapon? Secondly, if you get a critical hit, you don't get another 1d6 damage, because you can only do a basic...

As far as I'm aware, switching from a 2-handed grip to a 1-handed grip is a free action by RAW...

He spent an action point, and also listed the damage bonuses in the wrong order. So, he opens with a howling strike, which is where the d6 and the +5 come from. Assuming he hit with both of his opening attacks, he'd have a reasonable chance of killing a level 2 monster (39.5 average damage)...

Ahh, okay. Sorry, your description was a little unclear, and you didn't mention that you spent an action point.

I'm a little confused about a couple of things. For starters, where does the 1d6 damage come from? Originally I'd assumed it was a horned helmet, but you can't use avalanche strike on a charge. Secondly, why does your furious assault deal an extra +5 damage?

If you're worried, you can always include an NPC to tag along with the party. They're designed to be book-keeping light, so the players can control them easily enough in fights.

By the PHB2 definition, being invisible doesn't give you concealment. Therefore, if they step out of concealment, they stop being hidden. EDIT: actually, my bad, it does... Just not in the rules box O.o

Things like the basket of everlasting provisions are really cool, just not much good in a fight. That's the real problem - the PCs have limited slots, and everyone needs, at a bare minimum, a weapon, an amulet and a set of armour every tier. Since in a four player party you're supposed to get...

Also, it says in the description of the spiked shield that a character cannot use two shields at the same time ^^;;

As far as I'm aware, shifting isn't moving, and neither is forced movement. Oh, and if your DM wants to be a meanie, the best way to avoid having nastiness from Spitting Cobra Stance is for the monsters to all prepare actions, and then charge on the same turn. That way you only get to shoot one...

One other thing skill challenges do that in someways is a bit controversial, but that I think is invaluable, is to turn plot-direction from annoying railroading into a trail of sweeties. In the old days, if you want the party to go check out a goblin mine, you drop a hint on their heads, and...

That is generally the healer's lot. You need a specific mindset to play a leader - I find it helps a lot to consider any damage the party does as a result of your buffs to be *your* damage. Gave someone a free attack? Your damage. Someone hits because you gave them an attack bonus? Your damage...
