According to the player of the Druid he asked about this specifically - and was told that the passage in the PHB2 was supposed to be for BONUS damage not EXTRA damage. i.e. Feats that add to damage should need a base damage to add to. Effects that add extra damage on conditional circumstances...

Depends on the ED chosen. I plan on being a Lorekeeper. So I get: Better rolling on rituals. Slow but cheap rituals. Bonus to hit after a crit. Not that insane if you ask me. But a lot of EDs seemed to go the "Have another go at life" option which is unimaginative and OTT.

So my Quarry damage does require base damage - good. I always hated the idea of "precision based damage" being added to an effect that doesn't damage at all. But what would this do to the Druids ability? The power is Tremor. Only the original target takes damage from the power (but the power...

And WotC CS contradicts things again - as I was told I can Hunter's Quarry (which is extra damage) on any hit, even with a power that hits for no damage. And the Druid in our party was told that he can do the extra 2d6 damage of Earthfall Totem to all those knocked down as the effect of a power...

The racial ability of Loony Toons: I never noticed! No Action At Will Trigger: You fail to notice a change in your situation that will cause the laws of physics to effect you differently than they did a moment ago. Effect: Until the end of your turn the laws of physics do not effect you in...

TBH I was glad to see Alignment take a major back seat. It was silly, imo, assuming a person radiated a fixed alignment signature all the time, and it could show up regardless of current actions or intentions. Plus I hated the fact that Law & Choas were considered opposed. Law is the opposite...

As a "how does it work", I would treat phasing as "floating with momentum but still under some gravity" (90% of your mass phases out - and the remainder slips through the space between molecules). You want to go through a wall: you move to it, phase and drift though it under momentum. This...

I agree with the two replies here - but WotC CS do not. I say this as our game has a Blightbeast in it and he checked up on his Lvl 16 granted ability to add Necrotic Vulnerability 5 to mobs if he hits them with Beast Form attacks until the end of his next turn. His Lvl 11 ability adds...

Got to agree with Draco and Nyt here. If you can go around on Total Defense all the time you should keep any previous initiative score you had, not regain an encounter powers you already used, etc. And how does a PC know when to Total Defense versus not - unless he assumes every corner, every...

Thanks. That was what I thought by RAW but it seemed a bit odd that my Wizard trained in Nature could know stuff about a Death Knight despite it being a basic human, say, other than its undead-ness which he doesn't have Religion for. Bodes well for his Lorekeeper ED though, as he is trained in...

Basically I am confused on which skill will tell me the MKC information on some creatures. The easiest example of my problem comes from Skeletons. They are listed in MM1 as Medium Natural Animate(undead). Now does this mean they can be covered under Nature (as they have the natural origin) or...

Totally agree - but I was just saying I don't believe that is what the RAW currently do for these items, and why.

But you seem incapable of seeing that the term "enhancement bonus" can be simply be an amount and not a keyword activation. It can be just a way of saying "numerical value equal to 1 + the integer devide (level of this item-1)/5" that doesn't take so long. If the property doesn't state a bonus...

Btw just because something does not work, does not make it IMPLICITLY a contradiction. It makes it pointless. And the Subtle Weapon can work without assuming it is a contradiction (just very badly) by attacking with a non-magic weapon in your main hand and Subtle Weapon in your offhand. This...

You are just saying that the use of the word "enhancement" in the text, at any point, makes it an "enhancement bonus", unless a specific type is included? New Items: Viagra: Daily Until you take a short rest you are assumed to have male enhancement. Special This can only be used by males...

I don't know of any rule that specifically says what order you have to do events triggered by the same thing - so Swift Charge then free MBA should be viable (bar possibly the "no actions after charge" restriction getting in the way - so you may have to do the MBA mid-charge so you don't do it...

It has "additional hit points equal to" which is the same as for Subtle Weapons which say "Deal extra damage equal to this weapon's enhancement bonus" - which can't be an enhancement bonus as it wouldn't stack with its own damage if it was. So if Subtle Weapons aren't adding enhancement bonuses...

Actually at least one does indeed say that: Property: When you use a healing power, the target regains additional hit points equal to the armor’s enhancement bonus. For the other one you can make your arguement I guess - still seemed worded more as a way to get a value than a type but meh -...

Ermmmm, I think you are mistaking the value of the bonus with its type. Eg. If I had an ability that did the following: Experience Counts: When your party rolls initiative they all get a bonus equal to the youngest member's age. This would not be an "Age" bonus. It would be an untyped bonus...

All good choices. I was just suggesting a nice if you can't work out how that happened then just say X and get on with it phrase. As poor old Martial powers seem to run into the simulationist issues that all the other powers just get round without anyone even bothering to ask "How?"
