Whereas I'm expecting them to upgrade it to +2/3/4 damage depending on tier, to match all the new racial weapon proficiency feats.

No one has mentioned that this (apparently overwritten) version in the Red Box doesn't mention anything about adding your implement bonus. Looking at the other things in there, Freezing Burst is strictly better than Scorching Burst, with the same Each Creature in Area Burst 1 With 10 Squares...

Quarries, Oaths, and Shrouds are all completely independent. Most warlocks can't Curse something that's already Cursed, but still get bonus damage no matter who placed the Curse on the target (though only the Curser gets the Pact Boon bonus when it drops). (There's a Feat that lets you Curse...

If you want a quick fix, have Melee Training only work when it's not your turn. That lets you use it for OAs and with your Leader buddy's attack-granting power, but not for your Standard action (which is only something MBA-based Essentials classes would want to do under normal circumstances).

I heavily modified Keep on the Shadowfell for my game, but the PCs did adopt the one surviving goblin from Balgron's gang, and I used the name Splurg for him (half-remembering the rescuable prisoner I didn't use). Since goblins are Dex/Cha, I built him as a sort of Rogue/Warlord NPC Companion...

Right, adding alternate stat adjustments is almost guaranteed, and options in place of current abilities is quite likely. Something like "Humans can take a third at-will or X, and Half-Elves can take a diletante power or Y." What they're not going to do is take away everything. Races will...

That's simply not going to happen. It would break any semblance of compatibility with existing races.

Demonic craft is merely to expand the engines of destruction. All worlds are but fuel or raw materials, waiting to be consumed and turned into the instrument of the next world's fall. Haagenti works tirelessly, destroying all by conversion to his armies. He will not rest until all flesh is...

This, exactly. Weapon users get damage scaling, but then all their powers are overly similar. Implement classes get variable damage between powers as a tradeoff with different side effects, and three different defenses to target. 90% of weapon powers are Primary vs AC, [W]+Primary damage...

Well, the answer is "Don't put that ability on a non-minion, because then it would be completely broken with their much higher durability." As-is, they may spawn a few extras, all conveniently bunched up in one spot already. Since they're minions, they all die to all sorts of auto-damage zones...

I'm going to disagree with most posters, and say you should almost always take the 20. It's +1 attack and +1 damage over an 18 on every single attack you will make with your character ever (and if you're a V-shaped class, you should pick one attribute and ignore the other, so it's still true)...

I put up the all monsters' defenses on a whiteboard (along with the players', all in initiative order). It really speeds up combat for everyone to be able to check if their attacks hit without having me consult my notes. Additionally, I think being open about monster defenses makes for more...

I'm using that same Damien Hellfire mini for my tiefling wizard. I did him up with an orb, because I thought it looked best, and because I was initially thinking of the charisma orb proficiency. (I'm planning on going Orb of Nimble Thoughts at low level, then eventually adding a Staff of Ruin...

Page 55, where all the Keywords are located. It lasts until end of encounter, five minutes have passed, or you activate another stance. While it is active, you deal damage as long as you can make OAs. Because it's an effect that damages opponents. More importantly, it takes an attack power...

If you go poke around the Kelly Blue Book, it looks like trade-in prices for cars in good condition are 60-70% of what the dealer resells them for. Used Xbox games are cheap commodities, while cars are expensive and comparatively rare items, in that most people will have at most one of them...

There's no feats that require a 27 in any ability. The highest any requirement goes is a mere 21. The various weapon mastery feats (which let you crit on 19-20) depend on two attributes, either as 21 & 17 or 19 & 19.

It looks like the original list of possible combinations is, in fact, incomplete. (For instance, 14 14 14 14 10 10 isn't there.) I think the problem is with this assumption: You seem to have computed all cases where you don't spend any more points on the 8 than on any of the 10s, which...

Warlocks get rods and wands. Wizards get staves, orbs, and wands. Clerics and Paladins get holy symbols.

My experience is that Amazon massively sandbags on the delivery date, and I always receive things far in advance of the delivery date. I always opt for the free Super Saver Shipping, and the order I made last week arrived on my doorstep in two days anyway. Paying anything more isn't worth it...
