    What is the rationale for not allowing magic bracers to work with magic shields?

    Shouldn't you be asking WotC about this? None of us here are the designers, so we can't possibly give you an answer as to the rationale the desingers put into creating these rules, we can only give you our opinions. If you really want to find out the rationale why, I might suggest emailing the...

    Characters of War up at Wizards

    Do these backgrounds cost a feat to take, or are they just free? Anyone can start with one w/o any additional cost?

    Can you wake an ally hit by the Sleep spell?

    I know. I meant, if the enemy cast Sleep on one of your allies, could you wake them like normally. Or, if you cast Sleep on an opponent, and hit them while their are unconscious, will they wake up? In either case, this has been answered. Thank you everyone!

    Can you wake an ally hit by the Sleep spell?

    We've been playing that you can't since it is magical sleep. It also specifies that save ends the effect, and doesn't mention any other way to wake the sleeping opponent. Compare this with the level 9 Rogue power Knockout (as well as lvl 15 power Garrote Grip) Strangely, the rules for being...

    Our First Game -- What some non-RPG fans Learned that they want to share!

    Nice work and all, but my preference is to see all the calculations, not just the end results. I like to know I've added everything correctly. For example, what happens when your Fighter or Paladin tries to perform an Acrobatic or Athletic skill? Is the Armor Check penalty already factored...

    Star Wars: Clone Wars Movie [Early Review, No Serious Spoilers]

    Not too get off on a tangent here, but your wife kind of looks like the super-heroine Hygena from So You Want To Be A Superhero?. I hope I didn't reveal her secret identity...

    Max Payne

    I know this is based off a video game, but I don't know much about it. I assumed it was basically like Hitman. But watching the trailer, I think it reminds me more of Constantine...

    Please verify: you can threaten while unarmed.

    But there is a mechanical beenfit. You are allowing them to take an OA where they normally would not be allowed (if you were strictly following RAW).

    Please verify: you can threaten while unarmed.

    Not per RAW. A bow is a weapon you train with.

    Explain to me why are these feats good?

    HBO is great for people who do not have high Str scores, and use other ability scores to power their At-Wills. For example, if you are playing a Protecting Paladin, chances are your Charisma is higher than your Strength, and you've taken At-Wills that utilize Cha as the main attack attribute...

    When does an effect take place?

    (Some) Effects take place AFTER the attack roll is made... Since this power has an attack roll assigned to it, I'd say that the attack roll is at least required before the effect takes place, but it should still take place whether the attack roll succeeds or fails.

    Should ability damage gain other damage bonuses? (is reaping strike good at 30th?)

    I think Reaping Strike is fine as is. Look at it this way. How much damage would you have done if you attacked with a different At-Will and missed? Some damage on a miss is better than no damage on a miss (and there isn't much that can prevent this "automatic" damage).

    harry potter and the half blood prince trailer

    What is it that Dumbledore (sp?) says at the end of the trailer, I can't make it out. Harry asks him if he "knew then". What is his reply (its hard to make out)?

    Player just doing the same thing problem- please help.

    We have a similiar term. My friend calls people like this "Dungeon Tourist". He plays with a group of people who are "afraid" to do anything that *might* put them at risk. So they'll go into a dungeon, wander around, happen upon a door and be like "I'm not opening it, you open it" and argue...

    Reposting this from the other thread, as there are some issues I am aware of, so no need to rehash them here. The Reflex Defense issue should be fixed now. Hmmm, I guess I can put one in. For now, you can simply select that cell and click DELETE. It will delete the selection that is...
