Maybe I'm missing something, but I don't think that the rogue build you suggest works the way you think it does. Both wintertouched and lasting frost key off of powers that have the cold keyword, so your rapier of frost won't activate them just by doing cold damage. Perhaps you could interpret...

Don't forget that abilities that give extra attacks are more likely to allow you to use Hunter's Quarry since only one of the attacks has to hit to activate it. Plus if any of the attacks crit then you can add the Quarry to that one and max it out (based on the wording of Hunter's Quarry that...

The argument about Magic Missile that we were having is about whether it is required by Arcane Initiate or if the author chose it. So it ended up coming up because both characters took Arcane Initiate and Magic Missile.

I don't know that I'd use the term "stealth errata". That seems to imply that I think they are already intending for it to be the case. I'm just saying that it might be something they are throwing around or have decided to do with the next set of updates. And while I find many of the...

That's pretty much what I think they would be changing it to, an automatic magic missile. Based on the wording with "wizard at-will originally", I find it unlikely that the article was based on old playtest information. That is, unless, it was like it is now, they changed it to just Magic...

I actually got the impression from both of these write-ups that we are seeing what will soon be Arcane Initiate errata. The first character has the phrase "(wizard at-will originally)" following "The feat comes with training in Arcana and magic missile". In addition, every other choice of...

Since this question hasn't been addressed yet, I figure I should point out that you can't take immediate actions on your own turn. So the goblin doesn't get to use his tactics against an OA. It's much more interesting for monsters that can interupt to move away as they can't use that to avoid...

Don't forget that the 4E PHB includes paragon paths, epic destinies, and magic items. That equates to the 84 pages used in the DMG for prestige classes, magic items, and other item related goodies like special materials. So it is more like 334 pages of 3.5 turned into 320 pages of 4E, plus a...

Stinking cloud does have the disadvantage of being completely useless against undead, but I suppose you can just choose not to prepare it if you expect to encounter undead. I'd say if if I had an orb based wizard I would go for Web for sure, but I agree that the other decidions are hard.

That's because pirates are falsely thought to be cool, while thieves are a less common target of admiration. Internet piracy, however, has all of the allure of being a rebel rule breaker without the undeniably evil murder and denying others of things they already have. That, by the way, is why...

So WotC will shoot itself in the foot to get back at us thievin' pirates? Their level of tight-lippedness was already questioned heavily up until just recently. That alone made it significantly harder for me to sell my friends on converting. And I certainly hope I don't have to explain how...

The poll should have been "great man" or "greatest man". Seriously, this guy is a hero. Like many others I have had the box set and an extra phb preordered for as long as that has been possible. My group was negative to neutral on 4E before this. I told them all about where they could find...

Good thing they didn't do that. They made it advantageous to attack soldiers, instead of making it automatic. Having monsters do that is nice, but the fact that fighters and paladins couldn't do this well in past editions was one of the things that was most disappointing to me.

Seen it all To put it another way, you automatically get a passive perception check and even if you roll lower when you use an action to actively search it doesn't make you forget what you've already seen. You've seen it all, you've seen everything. http://youtube.com/watch?v=Fg_cwI1Xj4M
