I'm going to call "Specific Beats General" here. Plus it just seems the only RAI way I can see this working well. If you targetted a burrowing creature (who may well be underground) and have to pull it to somewhere in your normal LoE you are forced to pull it up through the ground - even though...

My fluff reason for why a Wizard should know if the +4 AC/Reflex will help so he can pop Shield only when useful: The way I have always seen this working is that the Wizard's Shield is "unpassable" when cast - so if you are the triggering attack it would fail as it bounces off the Shield but...

The Special part only gives the burst LoE through solid objects not the Hit Line. i.e. It lets you target and attack through objects but your basic LoE area is not changed. It seems to be so you can force a burrowing creature to the surface. You target a burrowing creature and slide it up...

By RAW the timing for a Readied Action is pretty straightforward. Immediate Reaction: A readied action is an immediate reaction. It takes place after your enemy completes the action that triggers it. So by RAW you come directly after any trigger you use. So if you trigger on an Immediate...

Ongoing Damage shows up a bit more (that I've seen) on Controller/Semi-controller abilities. Mainly beacuse it is a condition and controllers put out more conditions than others (not exclusively but more). Also Ongoing Damage is most common as a Typed Damage knock on effect which often means...

I'm with AA and Mesh on this one. Especially as Consecrated Ground doesn't "move the zone". It moves the Origin Square. The zone is just given off by the Origin Square. I'd treat it like an item that has an aura being given off, and I'd allow a player to walk away from an item and have the item...

Assuming it is not your turn YES. If it is your turn you can't. You wait until the Hit occurs then interrupt that hit by adding +4 AC and +4 Reflex. If this then makes your defence higher than the attack roll total the Hit is negated and misses you. And once the power is activated it lasts...

But as it is an Immediate Interrupt it can turn the hit into a miss if the bonus AC/Reflex makes a difference. Thus it is better than a preemptive version which may end up being activated and never needed/able to change anything - while this way you activate it when you know it will matter and...

Not actually true. First, lasers can be of any wavelength (Infrared being common in remotes). Second, lasers get their strength from coherence, not intensity. A 10 Watt light bulb isn't good enough to read a book by normally. A 10 Watt laser can probably burn through the book. It is the fact...

Assuming the odds of failing a Roll = X. Thus odds on succeeding a roll = 1 - X. Assuming Y successes = Completed. Assuming Z failures = death. Odds on death = sum of all version where Z fails occur before Y successes. As the order of the fails/successes is irrelevent (as long as less than Y...

Changing Racial Mods to be any two stats is insanely unbalanced. You will simply lead to the Racial choice being "What Racial Ability fits best?". A Fighter that wants to mark loads? Go Dragonborn for the Minor Action Blast and put Stats into Str&Con. It just makes the decisions about being...

I think he is suggesting no change to the ongoing type at all. So if it was Ongoing Fire it still is, but thus ongoing untyped remains untyped. Otherwise you can indeed change Ongoing Untyped to Ongoing Cold so it will stack with itself by using the weapon to change the Ongoing Untyped to...

I can't follow your maths tbh. But I'm guessing something is wrong with it. And no - they add to each 'roll' not to each die. Mainly as: A 'roll', as indicated by Enhancement bonuses, is a collection of dice rolled for a single reason. So adding "2 + number of shards" bonus would add that...

The poster said a 60' fall was survivable, not a 30' + 60' fall. Tho he also talks about 30 more damage which could imply an extra 60' after the first 30'. But then he says 30' can be negated (which with a +10 check would imply his "roll of 20" was meant to read as a natural 20 not a total...

True. So I would assume a Passive Stealth Check vs his Passive Perception (which you gave a -50 to, though I'd love the power the extra -30 came from available to me) and only then if he had a sense other than sight and hearing as he auto-fails any perception based on those senses (as covered by...

Unless you make a Stealth check - which shouldn't have a hard time beating his passive perception, especially as he shouldn't be allowed a Perception check unless he is using a sense other than sight and hearing.

I just assumed that "wizard implement" was just an odd way of saying "an implement your wizard is proficient in the use of with his wizard powers". Not sure if you can be proficient with an implement for non-wizard stuff but not for wizard stuff. Does a Swordmage/Wizard hybrid gain implement...

I think he is asking "Have there been any racial division feats for the PHB2 races since that came out, and if not do we expect any to show up in the future?" Basically I think he is wanting to know if Dragon Mag, or similar, has shown any indication of this trend being extended to other races.

Personally I'd go with a few more N to N+1 Level monsters. A low number of N+lots monsters just means PCs missing a lot to create difficulty = bad morale, as who wants to spend all night missing. This runs the risk of becoming "So will I finally roll a Hit before I'm dead?". A large number of...

Yes. Flip was argueing that "damaging someone" and "hitting someone" were the same (Note Flip, not me). Thus any damage counted as "hitting". And would be able to trigger effects that can be done on "whenever you hit a target you ....". Thus she asked "How do you do damage...... without hitting...
