Exactly. I would consider allowing it as a DM, but I'm not sure. It's definitely not RAW, but at the same time it seems like it's not really a necessary limitation given that you can use the multiclass hunter's quarry. I suggested earlier reflavoring the quarry, but if a DM wants to allow a...

Very interesting. I never considered that combination.

Ah, silver! I've actually been unable to sleep for the last 7 days, wondering about this. I can finally rest easy now. Off to bed!

It doesn't work that way... You have to be using a legal weapon, with a power that uses the weapon keyword, in order to sneak attack. Now if your DM wants to allow it, that's fine, but it's not the RAI, and it's a twisting and loose interpretation of RAW. However, it would be legal to...

He said "new" character, I don't think he's talking about losing a level when you die. I think what's going on is that you are confusing someone's houserule from either 4E or 3E with an official rule. There isn't (nor has there been) a written rule that says you create a new character 1 level...

If they have to buy their spellbook, that means they have to pay gold so that they have a Daily Power, since your 2 Daily Powers are written in the book. Think about it.

If you don't think minions are powerful enough, then don't make them minions. Use regular creatures instead. Minions crit for the same damage as is their normal damage, by design.

I'm mixed on this. On one hand, it really is rough to play without a leader. My current game is leaderless. On the other hand, they've managed to survive (though 1 or 2 people ALWAYS end up unconscious). However, I feel that they could have probably done a lot better if some were better at...

Some people forget that D&D isn't like an unattended videogame where players can find ridiculous exploits. This "problem" isn't a problem, unless the DM creates a ridiculous situation in the first place that allows it to be a problem. People complaining about this being a problem is like when...

"I'm Jim Darkmagic... I'm from the New Hampshire Darkmagics."

In a recent thread, someone showed a large number of monster statistics. I believe that the average Armor Class some somewhere around 3 higher than other defenses. I think it kind of evens out, as long as you are proficient with the weapon.

In regards to your cliff example, I actually gave a specific mention to encouraging players doing things on the fly in response to the environment that are within reason. I have no problem with the cliff, because it is a neutral hazard. A player can bullrush a monster off a cliff (or other...

For flavor, fun, and drama. If you are just searching ways to circumvent the rules in order to find ways to do more damage, then you are pretty much just metagaming, not to mention breaking the balance that exists in the game. If that's the kind of game you want, then go for it, but it's not...

I asked to drop something on someone with Mage Hand when playing the D&D Experience Demo, and the DM wouldn't let me. I thought it was lame of him to restrict that. Personally, I would allow it with these things in mind: 1) Require that it uses a Standard action to attack with it. 2) Base it...

Ditto on that.

I'm not even convinced "effective" levels would really work out, because part of the issue is that the ratios of scaling are different. Your Hit Points, Attack Bonuses, and defenses just don't go up at the same rate between the 2 systems, so attempting to use "effective levels" is going to mean...

As a 4E cleric, your bonus to attack will be worse, you'll have less attacks per round, your damage will be about 1/3 to 1/4 what a 3E cleric could deal, your healing would be between 1/4 to 1/2 as effective as 3E cleric (and that's even assuming you could cast it on the rest of the party which...

I made a recent comic recently after being inspired by a silly RAW debate on turning blasts into diagonal squares to change the shape (and cover more area). This thread makes me want to share it again... http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c366/claffert/cf7194db.jpg No it doesn't describe the...

Wizard of the Spiral Tower does seem pretty clear, in that it requires an Implement Mastery for Corellon's implement. However, I think they should have mentioned Implement Mastery in the prerequisite list, to avoid confusion. My only complaint related to this is that that the Multiclass feats...

Nice... but why would you ever use Pummel over Quick Attack? They are the same to-hit, and the same damage. The only difference is one is a standard action, but you can use a Minor in place of a Standard. I guess it's just to break the monotony of doing 3 Quick attacks (trading standard and...
