According to WotC, individual features will be rolled out "over the next few months," as they become ready. So, it could be 6 months, or never, that your friend can play D&D online with his group.

I think I was the victim of ingesting too many rules in too short a period of time. :) One great thing that's come out of this thread, though: Sablewyvern is marked as an auto-listen any time rules questions come up. You sir, are a beast, in the best of all possible ways. :D

Say, when y'all say "alignment is divorced from the rules," how does that take into account things like alignment-based weapons? Or alignment-based effects that they mention in the Alignment sidebar on p. 19? Just trying to get a handle on the new rules.

This is a weird chicken-egg type thing. For instance, what happens if I recharge the item but don't have a healing surge left for the day?

Thank you for both of your excellent, reasoned answers. I know I'm reading it literally, and the arguments that it is used to heal only are strongly implied, as you pointed out. I'm usually not this pedantic, but it's a completely new rules system, so I figured I'd try to get it right from the...

Cool. I think you're right. Unfortunately, the rulebook doesn't state this. Had they added the words "to heal" to Healing Word it would have been clear as day. I will let you know once I get the answer.

That word "implies" is where I'm having trouble. I just want clarification. The name healing surge was VERY poorly conceived. Introducing keywords into an RPG is fraught with exactly this kind of danger. So I'll call custserv on Monday and get clarification. This won't be the last time this...

I'm not. I'm being rude to people that aren't trying to help, and are being rude to me. "Use the index" is not a helpful post, anyone can see that. You seem like you're trying to help, so let me respond. Does Second Wind require a standard action? If I was an ass, I would tell you to look it...

lol I really hope you're talking to Mort_Q.

Any of them that say "Power (Healing Surge):", such as Bloodcut Armor on p. 227. p. 226 has the explanation of Healing Surge (in this context, anyway). The problem I'm having is that Healing Word, and I'm sure there are others, say "the target can use a healing surge." Awesome, I say, but can...

Why would I look on page 293 when it doesn't answer my question? If you don't know the answer, don't pretend you do, okay?

Can you clarify where it says that please?

I assume you mean "to heal themselves." Can you clarify where it says that? I'm only seeing that they can spend a healing surge, and in the rules it says there are many things you can do with a healing surge.

Spend a healing surge on what?

Oh, so it's a free action to spend a healing surge to recharge an item? If it's more, then why can't I spend the healing surge to recharge the item instead of getting hit points back...or in the case of Healing Word, doing both?

I assume that's not just on Second Wind, but it allows you to spend a healing surge on anything you can spend one on, right? So, if a cleric used Healing Word on me and I have a magic item that can be recharged with healing surge, then I could recharge that magic item and gain 1d6 hit points...

Got them, reading and taking notes now! :)

Awesome. Do they ever actually release content, or just ToCs? :)

Hey, to be fair, Dungeon 155 is here! Oh, wait...it's just the table of contents? I guess it's not here? But, it says it's here! But it's not. :( Look, DDI isn't a separate entity, it has been sold as part of 4e from the beginning, and we were specifically told that the compendium for each...

Hey everyone, just wanted to let you know that I've begun posting about my Keep on the Shadowfell maps project on The Gamer Dome. The first part is up, and I'll be adding to it as I finish new sections.
