    Question about Sleep (Wizard Attack 1)

    I got a reply from Wizards Customer Service. The sleep produced by the power is a magic sleep and thus can be ended by a save only. I disagree with this interpretation since nowhere in the text is implied that the sleep is different from a natural one (the cause may be different, but the result...

    Square of Origin of a Close Blast

    I cannot understand why you can be adjacent on one side only, since those two squares (the origin and the blast) can be adjacent both within and without their areas, provided they have at least one side or one angle in common. :confused: Please, notice that the blast fills the area and thus it...

    Question about Sleep (Wizard Attack 1)

    I know this has been asked before, but I was not able to find it in this forum. B-) What happens if you take damage while you are asleep as the result of a sleep spell? Will you wake as per the rules for "Sleeping and Waking Up" or, no matter what happens, you stay asleep till you pass your...

    Square of Origin of a Close Blast

    Just to be sure I also double checked the definition of adjacent squares in D&D ("Adjacent Squares", Player's Handbook, page 273): "Two creatures or objects are adjacent if one of them occupies a square adjacent to a square occupied by the other." So even in the case of a medium creatures the...

    Square of Origin of a Close Blast

    Yes, but in my opinion that's already covered in the definition of a close attack (see the new diagram attached). B-) What seems out of place in the paragraph is the sentence "The origin square is not affected by the blast". In fact, if the blast area is always outside the creature's space that...

    Square of Origin of a Close Blast

    I checked the diagram many times today. :p But, what about the sentence at page 272 "The blast must be adjacent to its origin square, which is a square in your space. The origin square is not affected by the blast"? In my proposed cases that sentence make full sense since the area is still...

    Square of Origin of a Close Blast

    The Player's Handbook states for the origin of a close blast: "A close blast uses a square within your space as its origin square." What about the cases I have attached in the chart below? Are those positions feasible? Are those attack still considered close blasts? ;) Ciao, mao

    Bashing a door in combat

    Which type of action is bashing a locked door during a combat? Is it a standard or minor action? This type of ability check is not listed in the "Action in Combat" table at page 289 of the Player's Handbook. Generally speaking, I was not able to find guidelines for skill and ability checks in...

    Flanking around a corner

    Thanks for your quick reply. My objection in that case is about the feasibility of combat advantage (and sneak attack) conferred by flanking, since the cover [-2] seems to negate one of the conditions that define combat advantage. Oh, thanks. :D It was a Power Point picture drawn with colored...

    Flanking around a corner

    Dear all, Is it possible to flank an enemy around a corner? :cool: The issue being that the target enemy around the corner will always have cover because of the corner itself. See attached sketch (and file) below. XXX__XX __R__XX XXXM_XX XXXFWXX Legend: X = Wall _ = Empty square R = Rogue...
