I'm continuing this over at the new topic: http://www.enworld.org/forum/showthread.php?p=4403384#post4403384

I'm saying that if we allow you to wear two sets of armor (like cloth and plate), the heavier armor worn should define whether you get the Dex/Int bonus to AC or not. It was just one example that illustrated how you can have articles of clothing underneath the metal plates. Magical cloth armor...

Forked from: Great weapon fighter is a "trap"? Forked Thread: I don't optimize. As a short introduction, we've been talking about various equipment and whether they can be used together. The conversation was sparked when someone suggested you could use a mundane shield and magical bracers...

True - but my point was that only one such property could apply at a time, like a boolean operator. I wouldn't put it past WotC to miss something like this, which would lead to several other places in the rules having problems. This kind of thing could have been fixed by saying "+1 item...

I suppose it depends on how you "parse" the statements, whether they are exclusive (which I think they are), and which takes precedence. I do actually think that RAW, if read without considering common sense, do support what you're saying - if you're allowed to wear both light and heavy...

Actually, I think this is (mostly) correct. I do think you can wear an enchanted armor beneath and a set of mundane plate armor on top. Note though that you'd add all of the penalties from all of the armor you're wearing, and since you are wearing heavy armor, you'd lose the Int/Dex bonus to AC...

Have you noticed Eyebite's invisibility only lasts until the beginning of the rogue's next turn? There's not much you can do with it unless you spend an action point to make an attack right after using Eyebite...

You do realize that this chapter is about magic items, right? As far as I'm concerned, the benefits indicated mean the magical properties only. Your mileage may vary, as they say, and apparently it does.

On-topic: I think many two-handed weapons are cool, and I think reach is underappreciated. I find that a reach weapon gives you more options and strategies in actual battle that can be put into numbers and percentages for optimization purposes. I do think that the sword family is a bit...

Our group has only 3 players and no leader, and I can't wait to get my hands on some of those healing potions. At level 4 my healing surge is about 10 anyway, so spending 50gp for a minor action that allows me to activate the surge is great! I can see, later on, that I'll have to think twice...

If the foe cannot stand up in his own square, he can choose which adjacent vacant square to stand up to - but AFAIK this counts as leaving a square, which does provoke an OA. That's my reading of the rules, at any rate. If there are no vacant adjacent squares, I'd say he can't get up at all.

Basically, yeah, but I'll complicate things a bit: you do not add any damage bonus that specifies "damage roll". This just happens to include just about any damage bonus, if you read carefully. At this time I think only the Pit Fighter does extra damage with any weapon-based attack, which...

I don't think there's any difference with this compared to a fighter's melee attack and a paladin's melee attack (or ranger's, or rogue's, or...). The mark isn't a property of the attack - it's a property of the fighter, and the attack is just the delivery method. Maybe the dragonborn fighter...

It does require you to be Eladrin or to take Skill Training or one of the multiclass feats that givevs you Arcana or Religion, you're right.

Our DM - and I - agreed that our interpretation is that the stance is active until the 5 minutes is up or until you activate another stance, but the regeneration checks for the bloodied-status at the beginning of each turn, and only heals you if you are bloodied at the time. If you go back to...

I also chose Boundless Endurance as it has the potential to heal far more, especially when it's most sorely needed. However, the fighter will get better stances (even for regeneration), so eventually you'll retrain it to something else, probably Unstoppable. The good thing about Unstoppable is...

I would like to play in an all-Eladrin group! You could all 'step across pits and crevasses and traps and through thickets or bars or whatever, and with Eladrin Education your group would be ready for anything regardless of the classes you chose. Eladrins aren't great paladins or clerics (or...

Or simply rolls max damage again...

All of the racial powers require specific circumstances, although some are useful more often than others. If your elf doesn't miss with any of his dailies, you may end up saving your reroll for nothing. I don't think there have been any fights where my eladrin fighter hasn't used her fey...

I like my Eladrin. :) I think the races are fairly well-balanced, although it can be argued to no end which race is the most optimal choice for which class and play style. I was disappointed with the Half-elves, though.
