In Dragon, this power had a funky layout. Since the associated power has a [w] in it, a sane DM should let you use the CB/Compendium version with the weapon keyword. Without the weapon keyword (on the power, not in the range), you don't get an enhancement bonus, proficiency bonus, and...

You can get it in the most current Rules Update or on the Monster Manual 3 on a Business Card.

The DM still came up with the location the players are at, the DM still composed the random encounter table, and the DM is still filtering (or not) the results of rolling on that table. The DM's intentions are just as involved here. Just like running a module doesn't absolve the DM of...

If somebody in your game took Crossbow Expertise or Wand Expertise, would you nerf those feats because it doesn't make sense for them to be able to ignore cover or concealment?

You could try giving vaguer information. Instead of "there's a pit trap covering these four squares" you could try "something seems off about the floor in this area". When it's appropriate to the monster, you could swap out a trait or utility power for a 1/encounter free action to negate...

A bandit encounter for level 10 or 11 PCs needs to be way more impressive than random highwaymen. Level 1 PCs get ambushed by bandits. Level 11 PCs get ambushed by bandit kings. These should be some seriously badass guys. Maybe they made a pact with some air elemental to allow them to fly...

Leading a war is not epic enough. Picture the faithful of Kord receiving a vision of a city beset by enemies with whole armies preparing to invade them. Breaking a seige with only 5 or so people? That is a true test of skill.

Daily powers exist on a continuum: some do everything you care about on a miss and the roll to hit is to see if your damage is piddly or piddlier. Others have all the cool stuff on the hit line, so you don't accomplish much if you miss. If you don't like the ones in the second category, pick...

Both the slide and the push definitely happen. The order they happen in is a grey area. I would say to do the power's effect first and then apply the feat.

In order to make a ranged attack with a power, that power needs to say Ranged followed by a range, like 10, 20, or weapon. Righteous Brand is a Melee weapon power, so you can't make a ranged attack with it unless a feat or class feature that says so. If you can use Righteous Brand as a melee...

One thing that occurs to me is that when a noble walks down the street, everyone knows it. As a peasant, nobody especially notices where you go. It might just be something to play up in descriptions, but it could be worth a streetwise bonus.

My point about the HS cost on the action point ability is that if you should get a bit more if you're spending a surge on it. The PP utility should stay a daily. Except for the damage bonus, all those effects are equally beneficial at all tiers of play. In general, if it lasts until the end...

You'll probably get more responses in the... huh. I wonder what they did with the House Rules forum. For prerequisites, you might consider "any arcane class" and multiclass into warlock. Handing out dice of damage is rather powerful. Try "While you are bloodied, the first time you hit with...

Is there something specific that's confusing you? It seems like you're making this more complicated than it needs to be. Whatever subclass you choose, you get exactly what that subclass specifies. If you get to choose an attack or utility power with a level, then you can swap it out from...

Eh? It's pretty simple. The rule is in HoFK/FL, but the gist is that if you get an attack or utility with a level, the you can swap it for a standard fighter's power.

I want to say I heard about it when when it was still rumored strongly, but it's been so long since then I've ceased to care.

Also, there's the blink-and-you'll-miss-it reference to the BoVD movie.

A Bag of Holding is useful to have and could hold your spare halberd when you're not using it. You could instead spring for the higher level Handy Haversack or an item like the Cloak of a Thousand Pockets which could give an amusing video game-like image: stick your weapon behind you and it...

In the initial rules, there was a 'fly' action, a 'climb' action, and so on. As of some errata, you now take the walk action and choose a speed to use. From the rules update:

The Special line give it a second trigger so it would read "when you teleport an enemy on your turn or when you use Aegis of Ensnarement". The real question is when will it ever trigger if you aren't Ensnaring, and suffice it to say you shouldn't be.
