As the others said: yes, the option is available (I know, I'm playing a Cleric|Invoker myself). Note that the implementation of Hybrids in the CB isn't perfect yet: The 'at least 1 power of each kind of each class' rule is enforced a little wonkily: the choices at level 1-2 determine the...

With the right equipment (Horned Helmet, Vanguard weapon), Knockdown Assault's ability to be used on a charge can be very powerful, indeed (our group's fighter uses it to great effect).

Unfortunately, it only works on allies. My Invoker|Cleric is disappointed, too.

Once for each hit, yes. Likewise, a ranger that attacks twice and hits twice will get his healing twice.

I've played my Elf Cleric of the Raven Queen for a while now, and I've mainly noticed it's a lot more fun to be the cleric in 4th than in 3.X; being able to be pro-active and actually do something else than keep everyone alive is something I find to be an enormous improvement, and with the...

For more evidence on this, check out the rules on summoned creatures, which the spirit companion is not; those specifically state that they summon a creature which is an ally to the party. A conjuration never states this. Indeed, DracoSuave's suggestion of considering it a spell effect seems...

The rules on flanking say you and an ally have to flank the target to provide combat advantage. Since a conjuration is not an ally (unless the power specifically states so for this purpose), the spirit companion can not provide flanking. Think of the spirit companion as more or less immaterial...

Might I ask why? A melee character can use his weapon for every swing, even if he's using a multi-attack power and hitting different targets (a fighter's Rain of Blows, for example). Same for a bow or crossbow user that shoots at more than one target in one attack. Forcing a thrown weapon user...

Actually, that works for Dutch too. Thanks for the tip! :)

While a young black dragon is certainly beatable, even if hiding constantly in his Cloud of Darkness, it makes for an intensely boring fight. Worse, often enough half of the party has very little effect in such a fight, considering melee and ranged attacks have -5 to hit against it, and they...

This. See, if you allow a player the choice of encounter/daily powers at the time of usage, all you're really doing is moving the time of decision about what powers to choose from character creation to actual combat. Now, while this is undeniably more powerful (most levels have powers which...

Actually, it's every time anyone near the spirit hits something - more Battlerager than Warlock style. Yeah, I was thinking something similar. In fact, with all the extra cleric powers granting healing, I'm again looking to set my cleric up as a hybrid cleric|invoker (and he's the only leader...

Actually, conjuring is a minor action, which sweetens the deal considerably. I'm not saying it's overpowered in any kind of way, since I haven't seen it in action. Just that it seems to turn everyone near to the spirit into a quasi-Battlerager.

The latter, I'm betting... well, besides that this is a rules forum, and reflavouring isn't exactly a rules issue. I'm playing a cleric of the Raven Queen who's big on the whole Fate and Death thing, so I've been reflavouring stuff as I took it. For example, Astral Seal (from DP) points out the...

I still have to try it out with my Elven Cleric, but let's just say reading that power made me very happy to just have reached level 6. Also, keep in mind the power has the Healing keyword, so it adds the cleric's wisdom mod to the healing done (because of Healer's Lore). That is, a cleric with...

It's called Paragon multi-classing. Check PHB Page 209 for the full write-out.

Dwarves, at least by mid-level, make excellent two-weapon rangers; they do need a couple of feats to provide the necessary defenses, though (Armor feats in particular are needed). Yeah, that works. Also works. Note that he only loses some damage compared to waraxes on his off-hand attack...

It is. See here: WotC PHB FAQ

Well... you wanted more damage, and Bloodmage with some of the Warlock push powers always seemed to be a good way to do things to me (Personally, I never understood why Bloodmage isn't a Warlock PP). Other routes? Warlocks are a little underpowered in the damage department, which is why I tried...

I'm not sure what you're referring to, here. Again, the idea is to use the rod for warlock powers; whether the staff can be used with warlock powers or not is irrelevant. The Wizard MC provides proficiency, and hence its properties are active - meaning, the +2 item bonus to damage rolls comes...
