Yes, well, it was a surprise to me too, and it's an error. It's clear under the discussion of proficiency bonuses elsewhere that they don't apply to damage. A DM who allows the bag of rats hasn't read page 40 of the DMG, where that example is specifically invoked under the discussion of...

1) There are over 30 paragon paths in the PH. 2) My paladin took a multiclass cleric feat so she could qualify for a cleric paragon path. :)

ha. Well, at the risk of enforcing a stereotype... I just made up a bard using "unbeta'ed" class rules. He is, without any doubt, made of AWESOMESAUCE even in raw form. So you might encourage your female players to try something else for awhile--seriously, this is the first edition where I've...

You know, it's funny; it *felt* right when it was proposed, but I remember a good bit of nervousness about how the concept would be received. At least around here, it quickly became apparent how well the split works in play and world design, and how well it fits all of the already-established...

You best smile when you say that, boy.

"Marital" power is already in the style guide as a Typo to Watch Out For. And the Care Bear Stare is an uber-high level daily power, especially when used by Mark Waid's JLA. </geek>

*laughs* Maybe I can expand on this a little. Interesting encounter--to me, it really highlighted the defender role and the worth of the paladin as a damage-sink. I knew it before, but seeing it in full action was impressive. (It was, BTW, Gerhart who did most of the aforementioned ****ing off...

It's definitely an individual choice. My wizard took a lot of Close range spells that put her in melee range, so the feat was a good expenditure for her. For a wizard who prefers more long-range "point and shoot" spells, it might not be as necessary. Feats help you tweak your character in the...

So am I. :) I had some of the same reservations back when the game was in development--same power structure, same advancement, how could characters differentiate themselves?--but after playing with half a dozen characters, I can say for certain that they all work and feel different. I'm...

And it doesn't make the editors cry! THIS IS IMPORTANT.

Oh, it was a low bridge and we were all standing close together, so there wasn't far to go. Move to dive in, standard to throw, action point to fey step.

*is tempted to see this argued about for another five days* But yes, codified; why would I post about a house rule? (Don't answer that.) And yes, you can decline to be affected by a power. I suppose you can decide you're no longer an ally as well, but then the rogue slides you into the lava...

ha! This exact scenario happened in last night's game. Jeremy Crawford's wizard got knocked off the bridge by a hurled boulder (ogres got good aim). He went unconcious rather swiftly and was on his way to a quicker death when my eladrin warlord dived in to save him. Grabbed him, tossed him onto...

This. And also? This. Times a million. Ally = willing ally as a default; otherwise, "No thank you, warlord, I do not wish to be moved today." My warlord doesn't get insulted when this happens, and she doesn't assume it's because they hate her, either.

Fiddly and untrue, at any rate. Huh, weird! Someone got some wires crossed. Absolutely, you can shift and then move at your full movement.

And you still can, with the rules in the DMG for turning any creature into a Solo threat.

Golden what now? Nothing like that in my PH. Oh, topic! Man, that formorian art was sweet, huh?

My 4E dwarf control wizard with sleep, shield, divine glow*, web, and dimension door is awfully sorry to hear that. * a cleric multiclass power.

MY EYES. And her SPINE. The burning...! He does pretty faces, and it's Red Sonja, so it's at least a historical outfit. But this pose and the butt-floss on Wonder Woman.... I will stop being off-topic now. But I'm glad you got the reference. ;)

Could be worse. Could be drawn by BENES. Beennnnneeessssss! (This is only funny to comic nerd people like me.) But I don't mind the pic, honestly. She looks *competent.* That's far more important to me.
