Now that Tennis is over, I think I understand how this all works finally. I was close, but not quite. If a character has cover or concealment, they can perform some action with a stealth check. If it succeeds, they perform this action stealthily which means they perform it unseen, unheard...

Which Kobold did the Paladin Challenge the turn prior? If it was Kobold 1, then yes, the Paladin could use Divine Challenge again against Kobold 2 this turn since the Paladin did engage (attack or end turn adjacent to) the target he had challenged the turn prior (Kobold 1). After ending his...

Okay - I was partially correct and partially wrong. Haha. This is getting crazy and WoTC needs to put something out asap. I'll post about it soon. Watching finals at Wimbledon.

Scroll down to the bottom of http://www.enworld.org/forum/showthread.php?t=230323&page=12 for my take on the rules as they are written. I think I cover many/all of the things people have brought up about stealth.

Just remember: All attacks are actually powers. Some powers use Magical Implements to channel the damage/effect/etc while other powers use Weapons to channel the damage/effect/etc. So, not EVERYTHING you do with a Longsword will use your Strength modifier for damage. Basic Melee and Basic...

I can't think of any minor action you could do stealthily that would make observers unaware of your location. And, like I said earlier, there is nothing inherently wrong with a Dwarf Paladin in Plate and 8 dex trying to stealth every turn from behind a rock..... but it would piss the DM and the...

After I went through (a few posts back) and read all of your posts, I think you and I are on the same page. The DM still has to do a good job of going, "Um.... no, that isn't good enough for a stealth check buddy." but I just want to ensure DMs are doing so within the NEW scope of CA and...

Well, I guess we'll just agree to disagree. I interpret "Success: You go unnoticed, unseen, and unheard" from your observers as: A) They can't see you B) They can't hear you C) They aren't aware of you or your location I.E. You are totally concealed from them and if ANY of them want to, on...

I don't think there are 2 interpretations of the rules. I think: A) The rules are all not in 1 place B) There are people who are biased and can't get past the old concepts of CA and Stealth (from 3x) If you aren't completely burned out on the topic already (seems like you are), I suggest you...

My warlock's level 1 feat was Train Skill: Stealth. Once you successfully stealth, no observers can tell where you are. On their turn, they can spend a minor action to try and check/guess where you are, but any attacks will be -5 for total concealment and maybe -2 for cover (if applicable)...

To Sum It All Up As sad as it may sound, I've actually gone through and read every page and every post. I will try to do my best to give an example of how I interpret the rules as written. 1) Cover - Allies and Enemies. Your own allies grant you cover from enemies if your allies are between...

Fortunately, I read all of your posts and if you had provided the same courtesy to me, you would have seen that I actually ended up addressing exactly what you claim I didn't address - it was just down a bit further since I wrote the top half prior to reading all of your stuff and then...

Good idea. I'll change those things. The player would be at a disadvantage in doing so, but it should still be possible. Agreed. :)

Usually, there are only a couple different types of monsters. When a player stealths on their turn, it is against the passive perception which is the same for all monster types. If, on their turn, a monster wants to involve the character that stealthed, then they need to do a minor action...

Still? Xorn: Pg. 188: "Success: You avoid notice, unheard and hidden from view." Emphasis mine. Why do you always use the "avoid notice" and then conveniently leave the rest off? The idea of stealth is NOT this complicated, man. In order to create a Stealth Check, you need Cover or...

Warlock having Combat Advantage every other round helps too! ;)

It depends if you want to use half the skills for your class awesomely and the other half like a 1-legged minion OR if you'd like to primarily use half of your skills well while also being able to dab in the other half. The PHB tends to suggest players don't pigeonhole their characters into...

I never understood this issue. Why are people tracking this at all? In combat, there are usually 4-5 other party members who are interacting with a throng of monsters. At most, no more than 1-3 monsters care about any particular individual party member. But hey - if this works for you and...

After playing 4e a few times, my friends and I definitely prefer the map to be drawn by hand as we discover/explore. The DM will have a finished copy in their notes and will draw as necessary as we progress. This makes combat and exploration MUCH more fun, imo. Having to actually get 1 member...

I'm in the process of putting together a Martial Defender who is centered around Shield Combat. The main stats will be Dex, Con, Wis, Str (in that order... with Str mattering very little honestly). They don't start with Heavy Armor proficiencies and many of their skills are centered around...
