I think the Martial Source needs it's own catch-all explaination. When asking the question "How did you do that?": Arcane users have "Magic did it." Divine users have "The Gods did it." Primal users have "The spirits did it." Psionic users have "By the power of my mind." Shadow users have "The...

And what is an "element of other genres"? My version used classic D&D trope effects. "Smash ground for a shockwave" "Spin weapon for a mini tornado" Both happen in Fantasy style adventures (The first was the mainstay of Bobby the Barbarian from the D&D cartoons when I was a kid, and I think...

For mechanical ways to get physics to produce the correct "Taunting" effect: The Fighter shouts out, swings his weapon above his head and slams the floor with it. Thus the flying monsters are sucked into a vortex of air (from the weapon twirling) and the guys on the ground all get shoved...

Tbh I am saying the wording atm is pointlessly bad. And I would make it one of the following 1) All the current limits AND doesn't trigger itself. 2) Once per turn and doesn't tirgger itself. 3) No limits but doesn't trigger itself. The first would make it even weaker (as the feedback to the...

Now this wording seems silly to me too. It may as well read: "Once per round, while each target is affected by harmonious thunder, if one of the targets takes damage deal thunder damage to both equal to your Strength modifier". As the moment one is damaged it damges the other, thus damaging the...

If peeps really want to put the interest back into the idea I would make it that the Passive Perception is used by the DM to go "All those with PP of X or more make an active perception check" and then use those to determine who, if any, spotted something hidden. Basically all those of PP high...

If you want to teleport to the same square you are in and not move I would allow this imo - as the player can. 90% of the time, just teleport 1 square up then fall the 5ft back to the floor - take no damage from falling and thus not go prone. This has pretty much the same effect as teleporting...

Wizards have Enlarge Spell, but it effects Bursts/Blasts not Zones. So it wouldn't increase the size of a Wall Of Fire, say, iirc. And it can only effect spells that roll damage dice.

I think I'll house-rule this, slightly, if I DM. 1) If a PC wants to gain a Background Benefit he/she must complete a small page of text on your background and list at least two backgrounds it uses/plays into (choose two backgrounds). 2) I will then choose what Background Benefit the PC gets out...

I would assume most of the Practices that give a skill bonus are there to add the bonus to something that can be done regardless - ones that don't add a bonus (not sure if there are any as I'm away from my books atm) would be unusable without the Practice. I would also probably rule that the...

I don't think Inifiniti2000 was saying the attack type of a power does have anything to do with its duration. He was however pointing out that an arguement for durations being similar between two powers, that was based on the powers both being balanced does have to take into consideration all...

TBH the idea of a Dex-based Leader doesn't make that much sense to me - unless it was the leader of a bow division. Leaders are about imspiring others and shouting orders rather than doing stuff themselves. This to me seems to me a mental skill (for tactics) and a personality/presense thing to...

Yes. Most (if not all) damage bonuses add to any damage roll caused by a power with the Weapon/Implement keyword. Some things add extra damage that is conditional on other things and then they add to any damage (even none) each time the conditions are met. Thus, Quarry Damage can be done when...

For Hybrid Sorceror/Ranger no you can't but for a MC one yes you can. Hybrid strikers got their bonuses moved to being specific to the powers from each class - because they can use those bonuses all the time if applicable, so they would do double Striker-ness every go if not limited. MC...

I'd let the attack hit (possibly with a -2 penalty for the drop distraction acting like cover). If a Swordmage can have an ability to teleport between two targets and attack each so smoothly they almost seem to occur at the same time I think a Fey Charger can prep their swing to be on...

But if you try to include the 10 squares up they can save. If they do you lose the 10 up and the 10 across = loss of control. Sp you have assured control (teleport safely) vs 45% chance of control + damage (about 2d10 as teleports seem to average out at 5 squares = 2 lots of 10ft and some spare...

Actually that is not true. If the effects are simultaneous then the damage is APPLIED at the same time as dazing occurs. By this time, the option to add Sneak Damage has passed. The ability says you must have combat advantage when using a suitable weapon. Thus, once you have already hit gaining...

According to Page 269 of PHB damage and effects all occur at the same point in resolving the attack (Step 5 in the list). As such, they don't all happen one by one necessarily. So the trigger is still: "When you (push a creature or knock a creature prone), it takes damage equal to your...

Assuming the 'or' in the trigger text is a typical 'or' from english then it won't trigger twice. I acknowledge this is an assumption, but I would expect a double triggering to be expressed explicitly as it is non standard english to work that way. It also makes things like an Earthfall Totem...

No. You can only retrain to options that are valid for the choice you are retraining. So if you retrain a Warlock skill you can only choose Warlock skills to train into. You can train into things you didn't meet the prerequisites for when you first trained but not something that is never an...
