There is a snag with this interpretation regarding Close Attack rules on pg 271 in PHB. These rules state that if, for example, a Rogue wants to use Blinding Barrage, he must have 1 piece of ammunition or 1 thrown weapon per target in it's area of effect. So he can't attack every target with a...

You've got it right. Bonuses are only added once to a single damage roll against a target, whether that roll is 1w, 2w or whatever. Just remember bonuses are only added to rolls and not to defined (static) damage like Cleave's extra target's damage.

I thought I attached it to last post: This is how it is in my text file, essentially same as was in thread.

I have uploaded a text file regarding this issue. It is a series of emails between Hypersmurf and a customer service rep, that I copied and pasted into a text file (I would link to the thread I copied it from, but I can't remember it's title). The cust serv gives a series of responses which...

I am mainly interested in programs that are fairly easy to use. I will probably be making adventure maps and dungeon maps for my own use as a DM, and only occasionally be making battle maps for players. I've downloaded sets of tiles, walls, doors etc. for encounters. So the maps I make do not...

I just downloaded and installed Auto Realm a few days ago and have been messing around with it. I am happy enough with the appearance of maps it produces (although I haven't printed any out yet). The quality is better than I expected from freeware. My issue is that the program is as buggy as...

Damage bonuses are only applied to damage rolls. So Furious Smash damage and similar "defined" damage (e.g. Cleave, Reaping Strike, & every ongoing damage effect I've come across) never add any damage bonus. Pg 57 of PHB states that these bonuses cannot be applied to non-variable effects. This...

You could also do a 'half-shell heroes' campaign with an all dragonborn party. Or all Dragonborn except for a wererat lycanthrope companion.

Found Lion of Battle and I see what you mean. I have no idea how to rationalize Lion of Battle, but in both instances I would assume that PC is using primary weapon, and any appropriate enhancement and proficiency bonuses on attack rolls. Don't infer 'off-hand' or 'unarmed' from term 'secondary...

I understand what you are getting at. It is literal application of RAW. And I don't think RAW actually forbids any number of over-powered uses of this spell. My point is that conclusion regarding globicide via Force Orb is a foregone one. There is no interpretation of the rules that can allow...

I don't know about Lion of Battle, it sounds like a Warlord power, but I can't seem to find it. I had always assumed that second attack with All Bets are Off was with butt of weapon. As far as I know, if you use an attack power with the weapon keyword, you can always add your proficiency bonus...

There are so many issues with what your proposing that I wouldn't know where to begin. All I can say is that a DM can run his game as he see fits, even to the extent that your describing. However he has to make it clear to his players how he is running it. Players might get very frustrated if...

My opinion is that this looks to be a fairly quick adventure, and I wouldn't spend an excessive amount of time developing plot just for this one. It already has an obvious and familiar plot (town in need of saving) that is ok for short, first run adventure. Although I also think that goblins...

The reference is to a customer service ruling that has since been reversed. At the time that this spreadsheet was made, the ruling was in effect. If you want to search for it, on gleemax it was known as "Doomsayer and the wand of Howling Doom" (or something very similar to that) question.

I am resolved to not even mention cust serv anymore in this thread. The more I think about it, the more irritated I am that they made such little effort to guide. As for my own self, I believe that the planet doesn't occupy squares per se, because it is composed of all squares. The notion is...

I don't really want to try very hard to defend cust serv's responses to my queries. IMO they didn't try very hard to answer my first set of questions at all. And now that I've read your post, I think they didn't put enough thought into answering the second one either. But by workable, I really...

Please forgive the stab in the back, but I have to agree with Mistwell on this. I don't regard this as RAI either. However, this system seems very functional, and that is good enough for me.

As promised I am posting my second query to Cust Serv regarding Force Orb: -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Is an enemy inside a hollow object considered to be adjacent to it, if said hollow object is the target of Force Orb? Would it matter how large...

Got it, and I greatly appreciate the help. One last question: For invisibility, it's still pick a square and roll at -5 (plus any concealment/cover penalties). With understanding that if wrong square is picked, the attack automatically misses. Right? Edit: Just realized concealment penalty is...
