Would come up with a Fighter/War Priest though

I am aware of this. The OA question was another question in trying to determine what a monster knew.

Does it know a fighter's OAs stop movement in that case? If so, how does it determine you're a fighter and not ranger or rogue, or even a paladin? The point was I wasn't sure I'd include the combat challenge ability as part of the power used to mark something. What if I mark it with some other...

Well creatures know conditions on them but they should not know what class abilities you have. E.g., I mark a Kobold as a fighter. It shifts and I smack it (it should not know about combat challenge). Next round my ranger/fighter multiclass buddy decides to mark this Kobold. It should "assume"...

I thought this was changed in the errata to be "at will attack power" so you couldn't go grab those rogue stealth at wills. I don't have access to the errata here though so I can't confirm this.

The movement allowed by getting up in an occupied space is a shift so no OA is provoked (unless you're marked by a war priest).

By RAW Polearm gamble allows you to make an OA regardless of how the opponent enters a square adjacent to you. However, since OAs interrupt the action that triggers them the opponent will only be able to be hit by that OA IF they were one or two squares away from you when they went to move into...

First, two questions about rain of steel (Fighter Level 6 Daily) 1) It deals 1[W] to creatures who start their turn adjacent to you. Does this 1[W] include a magic weapon's bonuses? What about Weapon Focus or other modifiers? 2) It states they take damage "as long as you are able to make...

Does this same reasoning work for movement? As in I need to declare every space of my movement ahead of time? Could make a difference for something that is moving by you (especially a fighter) to decide when to take your OA. Or is a move different in this regard? And are there any places where...

The reason I asked is do you declare what square you are shifting to or what direction you are shifting? Further do you have to declare these before the fighter gets his attack? Since an immediate interrupt interrupts the action and occurs BEFORE the action does, I'd assume you WOULD know where...

Shield Push is fantastic. Even though monsters know all the effects that you do to them, they don't know your abilities. A strong monster may be willing to ignore a mark for a squishier target but if you can push them out of range it effectively negates their attack. If you cannot push them out...

Fey Step is nice because it has non-combat applications as well which cannot really be said for most of the other powers.

The darkness blocks LOS. Thus area attacks still have a reasonably good chance at hitting the dragon, but single target attacks have a very significant chance of missing (since they do not know where the dragon is) provided the dragon moves around in his own field which does not block LOS for...

The cover allies provide is only for ranged attacks, not for stealthing. The creature gets cover bonuses if there is cover between the origin of the attack and the creature. Instead of looking from yourself to the creature to determine cover, you use the origin of the attack. This does seem...

Did you play the dragon properly? Its cloud of darkness ability is extremely strong. Everyone fighting it blind or just guessing what square its in should probably cause at least SOME problems. As you said, its a lurker. Its not supposed to just sit there and beat on the PCs. Should be using the...

Actually this makes a good point. For any power that has multiple strikes or whatever what is considered the "attack"? Is it each individual strike? Is it the power as a whole. It makes far more sense that each strike would be an attack, but that would conflict with the response that all attack...

Perhaps if you actually read my post better you would realize A) what I was talking about and B) that it supported what you were saying. The example of a wall of fog being an "area attack" when it clearly has no attack roll or any damage component, supports that idea that the effect left by...

If you're looking at RAW, choice A is not really a valid choice, until an errata changes the example. Now, the clarifications in the minion article or whatever, as well as common sense, does imply that all the effect things SHOULD kill minions and the whole "A missed attack does not harm" or...

Your analysis is true if you're alone with the monster. With your allies present you can make a pretty decent withdrawal. Sure the monster can follow you (as you said) but if you're retreated properly this will probably be fairly costly to the monster (via OAs or whatever from the rest of your...

I seem to recall something about weapon abilities giving certain keywords (like that fear wand+Doomsayer for warlocks). Are you sure about this?
