Actually, they are not. Check out PHB p289 again. It lists the actions you can take in combat. It has a list of Standard Actions, Move Actions, Minor Actions.... and then it lists Immediate Actions, and Opportunity Actions... and then it goes on to list Free Actions and No Action actions. If...

Even with your caveats, I'll have to disagree here. "Free Action" and "Opportunity Action" are two different things. If something is a free action, it can't be an opportunity action. And just because opportunity/interrupt actions require triggers does not mean everything that has a trigger is...

PHB p57: "Otherwise, 'ally' or 'allies' does not include you, and both terms assume willing targets." What kind of action does it take to not be "willing" anymore isn't sourced anywhere, but since talking is a free action, it makes sense that becoming unwilling wouldn't take longer than that...

This general rule is actually spelled out in the FAQ for the PHB over here:

And if you don't have a DDI subscription or access to the Compendium, then asking to see all of the new power cards is rougly the same as asking to see all the new powers in Arcane Power. I.e. they expect you to buy the product to see the powers.

Cubic, though half of the cube is normally "underground" so is blocked unless you're flying or casting from on high.

Well tecnically, by the rules "enemy" is a keyword meaning a creature or creatures that aren't your allies (whether those creatures are hostile toward you or not). "Ally" or "allies" is a keyword refering to your teammates so long as said teammate is a willing target. Is your ally still your...

While an opportunity attack is a Melee Basic Attack, which can be used on any creature (so would include allies), in order to make the opportunity attack it has to be provoked, and only enemies can provoke one (per PHB p290, "If an enemy leaves a square..." "If an enemy adjacent to you uses a...

That's funny, especially since the entire page turns out to be an edited version of p49 of the Dungeon Master's Guide, with Zombie Plague edited in to replace Mummy Rot.

Heavy Thrown Weapons only have a special interaction with the Ranged Basic Attack power. With every other power, you use the modifier specified in the power. That's why twin strike uses Dex even with heavy thrown weapons.

Ah, I see. I had read your post as basically saying that one choice in each pair was the "obvious" one, and you couldn't understand why someone would choose the other one, and I replied based on that. :)

Vexing Flanker lets you get into CA position out of turn, allowing the ally who just moved a better chance to hit and setting yourself up for Sneak Attack on your next turn. Ignoble Escape is more versatile, as it can allow you to escape combat or to get into CA position before your own attack...

It might significantly affect rolls... if you're rolling the dice under water.

I'm wondering how that logic would work when interacting with effects that occur differently on a hit and a miss. Specifically the Warlord's Bravura Presence - If the Ranger uses an action point to attack with twin strike, and he hits with his offhand but misses with his main hand, is the...

For some reason, it looks like the link in your original email is also gone, or at least not showing up.

You have to be on the Internet to install it, as it downloads data during the install process. After that it appears to be standalone.

Why would you need to update an "edition proof" book to the latest edition? That's the whole point of being edition proof - it's not tied to any specific edition, so applies equally to all.

1. I would say it's worth in gp what it would cost to buy it in GP. 2. PCs and mounts share a single set of actions. 3. Basic attack, unless they have the Mounted Combat feat. 4. Due to #2, all a mount really means is you have a faster moving PC, generally. So I've not seen any mount balance...

I dug through my MM, and only found a few monsters who deal extra damage on a critical hit (though many more do other things on crits). I found them in two formats. If the damage was a mix of untyped and typed, it looked like this: 1d8 + 12 damage plus 5 necrotic damage (plus an extra 2d6...

Only in the sense that lava damage scales with player damage, so a level 30 is just a likely to die from diving head-first into lava as a level 1. If you'll burn your arm off at level 1, that same arm'll still get burned off later, too, unless you're specifically armoring/fireproofing yourself.
