Therefore: If you are in a square with superior cover, and there is an adjacent square with superior cover, you could stealthily move into the other square and back into the one you were originally in, and attain "stealth" status? Ah, you could also (once per combat) make a Bluff check to...

Ok, so if two people who say they "get it" come to different conclusions, how do we decide which of them really does "get it"? Roll a dice, perhaps?

Some further discussion on WotC forums (where a CSR said allies DO provide cover - not that I'm saying they are right!): http://forums.gleemax.com/showthread.php?t=1053612 The problem isn't really the people who don't "get" it. It's the people who claim they "get" it, but fail to agree with...

This all gets even more interesting when you realise that your own allies provide cover for you to enter stealth. At least, that's what one Customer Service Representative says: http://forums.gleemax.com/showthread.php?t=1053612 I don't know about anyone else, but that sounds like a quick and...

Ok, so you are saying this is possible: Assuming I am standing adjacent to an enemy in a square with cover; If I don't have stealth currently, I can nevertheless: * Attempt to enter Stealth as a free action. * Attack the enemy with combat advantage (if I attained stealth) * Attempt to enter...

In case anyone was wondering where the rule is that says you can still get healed to 1hp when someone uses the heal skill on you, you are dying and you have no healing surges left: It's on PHB page 295 column 2 under "Healing a dying character": "If the healing effect requires you to spend a...

Hmm I'm still slightly confused, so let's see if I've got this right: Case 1 I'm level 8 and I have 5 different magic items each with one daily power. I can use 1 magic item daily power per milestone. I use item #1 during an encounter: I cannot now use any more until I reach a milestone. I...

I think for 4th ed, yes the creature or player who is stealthing makes the check against the target's passive perception check. From the rules, it appears that you make that check at the end of the stealthed creature or player's turn. This would seem to be in addition to the check you make...

So do you have to make the check every turn? Also see the rules for "Targetting what you can't see" on the bottom of page 281 of the PHB. That says that a player can use their passive perception check against a hidden creature at the end of its turn. That implies that a monster should be able to...

Great! Unfortunately my dictionary doesn't seem to answer the following questions! Please could you consult yours and hopefully it will be able to answer these: * When do enemies get to use passive perception skills to spot you? And how often? Presumably if they are "unaware" of you, they can...

I was pointing out that in rule terms, invisibility is NOT the same as being hidden!

But it's not the same at all in game terms. If you're invisible, you can go running across clear ground and attack someone without being seen. If you are stealthed, you cannot run across clear ground without being seen, and you are not allowed to make stealth checks either (because you have no...

I agree that the rules should be clearer. What seems quite obvious while reading the rules becomes less so when you actually play a few sessions. There are a number of ambiguities which the DM has to decide on, which is certainly possible - but it's unsatisfying to have to do so for something...

The link to Shado's character sheets is broken. It should be: http://www.enworld.org/forum/showthread.php?t=229026

I think we'll need to reserve judgement until we see the actual 4th Ed books. However, I've been playing Eberron in 3.x for a while, so I'm looking forward to running a FR setting for a change. That said, I'll probably be getting both. (I'm one of those sad people that buys the books even if I...

Although there is in fact a rule about putting on armour. PHB, page 212: "Putting on a suit of armour always takes at least 5 minutes, which means that it’s an activity you can undertake only outside combat"

The setting shouldn't be part of the core rules. I want to have a choice of settings! For example, I prefer Forgotten Realms to Eberron. I want to choose from a variety of settings!

I would say so. Enemies grant cover to other enemies, so I would think that allies grant cover to other allies. (From PHB pg 280: "When you make a ranged attack against an enemy and other enemies are in the way, your target has cover." - so switching the word "enemy" to "ally" and "you" to "a...

Yes, that's the conclusion I came too.

I remember this being asked before, but I don't think there was a definitive answer (and now I can't find the thread), so I'm asking this again... I have two questions relating to poisoned weapons: (1) Does the poison on a weapon get used up on the first hit, or will it work multiple times...
