The versions of the sheet that I have downloaded, including 1.12, do not seem to support Paragon multi-classing. Or at least, the Eladrin Warlord/Wizard I was creating was unable to select wizard powers at 11th and 12th level after taking the 4 required feats. Do any of the versions support...

Two Weapon Fighting seems like a pretty crappy feat. However, it is a prerequisite for somewhat less crappy feats such as Two Weapon Defense and Two Weapon Flurry. Perhaps in future volumes it will be replaced with an Improve Two Weapon Fighting feat, although more likely it would be a...

My advice would be to lower Wis and increase Cha or Dex. 4ed characters are supposed to excel at one class, and increasingly dabble into a second. I know Wis 13 is needed for Dark Fury, but somethings gotta give. For that matter, why Int so high? Edit: I see why. Using method 1 with Eladrin...

DMG covers basics on pg 65: use highest passive perception versus it's perception DC (well hidden = DC 25 from PHB) for PCs who are simply passing by. Pg 41 of DMG: searching a room use a 20 result with highest perception among searchers, versus it's perception DC (making a DC 25 "secret" door...

Jumping relatively short distances should not be challenging for most PCs, even low level ones. Plate mailed dwarf fighters with no acrobatics or athletics ability may have problems, but most won't. Putting pits in a room full of wimpy opponents is probably just an attempt to make an encounter...

Even though it is apparently not made explicit anywhere in the rules, I agree that attacks should be completely resolved before the effects of Lasting Frost and Psychic Lock are applied. I think ths is probably how WOTC intended them to operate.

Maybe, in an extreme case like this, you could convince your DM that divine intervention really is the answer. He is, after all, a Paladin, and is therefore a representative of his deity. Of course I know thats fluff, and 4ed doesn't even have rules for losing one's class entirely. But since...

You must have different edition of PHB than me. Mine does not use the word after. I am very interested in the answer to this because I think it could also indicate whether a foe struck with Crown of Madness, by a Warlock with Psychic Lock feat gets a -2 to it's attack vs. it's buddy, or whether...

Sensing with the Arcana skill ignores barriers that block vision. By vulgar I didn't mean obvious.

The PHB lumps spells, magic items and other phenomena (e.g. traps) together in one category for sensing the presence of magic. A Dm could House rule that some magical effects are "vulgar" and use an inverse scaling system that makes them easier to detect when they are more powerful, while others...

Warlock seems like the neatest class in 4e. Spellcasting, teleporting and sneakiness = opportunity to completely wreck the lives of others at a distance, and make a clean getaway afterwards. I have noticed that, as of right now, Warlord is leading the polls. This is mysterious to me, but I...

As far as I know, the rules don't go over this as well, but this seems like common sense to me. A light that is far brighter, can also be seen be enemies at a much greater distance. This could be an incentive for parties to rely less on sunrods, and more on point characters who can see without...

Just remembered something. The black chick on the Dungeons and Dragons cartoon was an acrobat, and she pole-vaulted a lot. So I would think that stunts involving pole vaulting would be kosher. i.e. vault kicks that pushes an enemy back multiple squares, leaping with pole at a group of enemies...

Have mulled over my previous post a bit, and decided that 3.0 rules for Thief-Acrobat are less useful as guidelines than I thought they would be. I think kung fu movies are probably better sources of inspiration (especially Jackie Chan movies). My own feelings about acrobatic stunts is that...

3.0/3.5 Acrobats The Acrobatics stunt seems like a very poorly defined concept to me. In order to get inspiration for what an Acrobatic stunt would be, I looked at the Thief Acrobat class from 3.0 Complete Adventurer (These examples are class features). Kip-up: as long as you are wearing light...

I don't understand why all terrain would be difficult while prone. PHB pg 288 has rules for crawling, and they don't say anything about that. I was simply wondering if enemy monsters would take minimal steps to preserve their dignity, like standing up, or if they would crawl towards their...

While looking at Warlock powers, and seeking useful feats for a hypothetical Paragon tier Warlock, I found something I didn't like in the rules. If a Fey pact Warlock takes the Psychic Lock feat, it makes his at will power, Eyebite, more useful. However, it would seem to lessen the...

While this may be a far off concern for a 2nd level character, the Masterwork armors available at higher levels aren't exactly balanced. The heavy armors get a much better bump to their AC, then the Masterwork equivalents of light armors. It seems that as a Ranger moves up in level, the...

Thank you for making that clear.

Interrupts, 4ed = Magic the Gathering? I have much more experience with Magic, than 4ed. Since the same company makes both games, I suspect that a "magic" interpretation is the correct one. In other words, the foe's action is wasted in a "fizzled" attack. I am wondering if the rules make this...
