Still don't follow. Area or :area: says nothing about the shape, range or radius of the effect. Neither does Ranged or :ranged: say if it is a fixed range or keyed to a weapon. You don't lose anything calling both Ranged, because in both cases, you must elaborate further to find out what the...

I don't get your point. What is the "parsing" difference between "Area burst 1 within 10" and "Ranged 10, burst 1"?

Yes, well, since I usually have to teach my friends how to play, I'd rather it be less confusing. This Area category was poorly named and I don't see why it should be separated from normal Ranged attacks to begin with. I can live with it, but I'll probably change their names in our sheets and...

Well, if it triggers off a Ranged attack, it is not necessarily a weapon attack, so that would have to be stated anyway. If it triggers off a single-targeted ranged attack, this is how you specify it. AFAIK, auras do not fit in these attack ranges. I believe they are by definition close bursts...

So, I've been thinking, perhaps the terminology for attack ranges could be a little better. And by better I mean simpler and clearer. Nothing huge or fancy, just a bit of simplification. So, we've got Melee :melee: and Close :close:, which do not provoke opportunity attacks, and Ranged :ranged...

Well, that WAS the intention: trade the crossbow for some simple, flavorful spell. Uh... It has two! A 3x3 square at range 10 (scorching burst) and a 5x5 square adjacent to you (burning hands). What more do you need? You sure you understand how an area burst 1 works?

Seconded. They omitted the half-elf's extra power, they might as well have omitted a cantrip.

Along with the skill requirements, consider that it has been stated that other characters can assist the "ritual leader". That could mean you only need one PC with Ritual Casting. Or not... :)

I wonder, can the half-elf pick up a power from any other class, or must it be from another class with the same power source? Is it a coincidence that Tira the warlock chose a wizard power and the cleric from KotS chose a paladin power, or is it a restriction?

Actually, you do. The cleric's Cure Light Wounds allows healing AS IF you had expended a Healing Surge, but does NOT EXPEND it. And there are other minor powers around that allows an ally to heal you a bit after he strikes an enemy.

Just looked it up, the feat gives you 1 + (Int bonus) bonus languages.

Except that the language training feat in SWSE gives something like 3 languages or so.

(Couldn't post yesterday,) I've finished transcribing the sheets: http://docs.google.com/View?id=ddv8j99r_102dpp99vd4 That way you can play with the text or read it at work without getting uncomfortable looks... heheheh

Your number of daily HS are set, but the healed points are 1/4 your HP; if your HP goes up, so does the amount healed by HS.

I've started transcribing the sheets: http://docs.google.com/View?id=ddv8j99r_102dpp99vd4 Don't mind the title, it's the only part in Portuguese.

As Celebrim most excellently put, if I care if it is intact, wounded or dead, by definition it is not a minion. Well, I don't know where the triple level formula came from, but I agree that there is probably a minion template to scale at the very least the attack bonus so minions can be an...

It's impossible to keep track of everything, but it should be fairly easy to google Keith Baker's little blog essays on this matter. Heck, he might even stumble upon this thread and confirm it himself (based on his playtesting experience, of course).

Check again, I'm not defending this "infinite HP on miss" stuff. But neither am I assuming all minions have just 1 HP. I don't have the link, but you can check around that normal monsters with more than a dozen HP have become minions to higher-level PCs. Things could have changed, but Keith...

Not so. Level 1 minions might have 1 HP. I can take a level 5 elite creature with 20 HP and use it as a level 30 minion. Just because I don't bother with how much HP it actually has does not mean every minion from 1st to 30th level has just 1 HP. Minion is not a condition, it is a label that...

Is it? Ridiculous to me is if a minion would have 15 HP, if you cared to track it (defeating the whole purpose of labeling it a minion), while you deal 40 damage on a hit, 20 on a miss, and because minions only take damage on a hit, you can miss him 3 times, which would deal 60 points of damage...
