So instead of picking square and attacking at -5 penalty, hidden target simply gets displacement. All attack rolls made at -2 for cover or concealment, or at -4 if his chosen spot offers both cover and concealment.

I don't pretend to understand all the ins and outs of 4ed stealth, so the idea of simplified system appeals to me. Let me see if I understand this one. Say a rogue sees a good spot to hide, a square with concealment next to a monster he wants to attack. If he is hidden at beginning of his...

What actions are you talking about here? If you used a minor action to hide, do stay hidden even when you lose concealment?

This is what I sent to Cust Serv: ------------------------------------------------------------------------- There is some confusion on what constitutes an object, when a wizard uses Force Orb to target an object. I hope you can answer some questions for me. 1. Can the entire planet the PC's...

I have sent a short list of questions to Cust Serv regarding what constitutes on object for Force Orb. I will post responses when I get them.

In the magic items section of PHB pg 236 to 243, in description of each type of implement (i.e. Holy Symbols, Wands, etc) it states that you can apply enhancement bonus if you are a member of a class that can use that type of implement. So wands ok, staff and orb no (unless character takes...

As of time of posting, site is "zippy". All new tabs opening fast, no problems. However, for past 3 or for days, I frequently get 503 errors (cannot connect) from my proxy. Have updated my browser to Firefox 3, and issue persists. Most of time, new tabs open fast. Occasionally, for about 5 to...

By the rules, yes. It can easily be explained by the fact that invisible PCs and monsters still make noise when fighting for their lives. They also occasionally stab things while invisible. So the opponent is likely to suspect that there is an enemy flanking him, although it won't know exactly...

Even though I looked at that page, I missed that somehow (probably wishful thinking). Thanks

Can anyone find this in the rules anywhere. I just looked, and I couldn't. Of course a Dm can always rule this way, but it seems to me that the tactic is clever and effective, not strange and broken.

I had no idea that this oddity regarding swarms and divine challenge existed until now. I agree with everything people have said, except possibly for the swarm's being vulnerable to Divine Challenge damage. Divine Challenge is a class feature, not an attack power (even though it does damage)...

I think you are misunderstanding what he is saying. Artful Dodger and Brute Scoundrel have different approaches to combat. Look at rogue powers in PHB that have perks for Artful Dodger (like Positioning Strike and Bait & Switch). Look at Flanking rules that say PC's have to be on opposite sides...

Self Calculating PDF, no. There might be one, but I haven't seen it. Here is a link to an excel based sheet that can also work with open office. http://www.enworld.org/forum/showthread.php?t=229672 It also has PDF version, but I downloaded it and it seems to be only for printout. Hope this...

I am 99.99 % positive that you can't use rogue weapon talent, sneak attack damage or Daggermaster's feature "dagger precision" when you are using pact blade as an implement. I haven't found anything directly from WOTC that entirely supports me in this but from Customer service's FAQ 13. Rogue...

The rules don't seem to cover encounters at greater than 100'. As much as it defies common sense and real life experience, by 4ed logic, monsters are simply unseen and unheard at greater distances. I would recommend using hooks to lure the PCs into long range encounters. For example, a lone...

Double posted by mistake

I think that each of the three attacks would deal d10 + 17 and then you would add enhancement and feat bonuses to the extra damage roll. So then total damage would 3 x (d10 +17) + 2d10 + 9 which totals 5d10 +60.

There was another thread about twin strike (if I could find it, I'd post link to it), where the consensus seemed to be that a PC declares both of his attacks prior to making first attack roll. Following that logic, if mixed melee and ranged attack is allowed, the player still can't wait for...

Kordeth is right. Shield Push and Tide of Iron both push, but uses are different. Tide of Iron allows Fighter to take over an enemies spot in a melee, Shield Push is part of interupting an enemy's attack or shift with combat challenge. If a marked enemy is trying to attack an ally, and you...

Blood Pulse doesn't have Psychic keyword so Dark Fury is no help to it. (unless there's errata I don't know about that is) Ditto for Bolstering Blood.
