Shouldn't this include Two Weapon Ranger? And Beast Ranger as it seems to attack via your Str or the Beast's?

You can learn lower level abilities in a given slot (so your Lvl 3 Enc Power can be a Lvl 1 Enc power) as covered in the "Gaining Levels - Step By Step - Step 7" which talks about gaining powers (PHB Pg 27-28). The same section also says you can't have the same ability twice.

No you can't, unless you have Bow/Crossbow as an implement. This item adds to attacks with a bow or crossbow, not to Ranged attacks. Bracers of the Perfect Shot add +2 damage to MagMiss (as it counts as a RBA).

Pretty sure the Properties count even if you are offhanding the implement. Can't recall exactly where this is written (tho the FAQ* has the Warlock benefitting from a rod in each hand - tho only attacking with one) *Answer I'm sure a lot of builds make use of this fact my having things like...

This I cover with the concept of "out-of-time". As the WotST is the one rolling time back he puts himself out-of-time to do so. So he, personally, doesn't roll back - he just reacts to the imminent hit (as the trigger indicates he has been hit) by rolling time back/shunting across reality to a...

Yeah. A Miss line is just a "clumsy hit" in real world terms - or it can be. Plus they indicate that damage isn't necessarily purely a physical countdown in DnD anymore, it can represent morale/determination/loyalty/etc as well as physical health now (why things like Invigorating powers can...

It is suggested as something your DM may use to decide how much to tell you about a monster at the start of an encounter. Page 179 PHB 1. It's the equivalent of "This is basic stuff you recall. You can think about it for a sec and do a proper check on your turn." And retries for Monster...

That is certainly not assured. "You alter reality slightly" can definately indicate reality (all of it) got changed - and why would I alter reality in a way that hurts my friends (as they burn resources) if I can alter it in a way that simply makes the entire sequence of events "never happen"...

I understand invalidating your own trigger. But invalidating the trigger of another power, seems to me to be a reason why that power couldn't have been used. You are hit, you interrupt to teleport away = you were missed. Fine. I think of that as you react as the effect of the hit is about to...

But your interpretation seems to invalidate the effect of Shape The Dream. It specifically states the Monster did nothing this action. So how could the Rogue convince the monster to target the Wizard if the monster never even thought of attacking? By RAW I can see no way to determine things...

Ok just had an idea that even further muddies the water. Assume two PCs. 1) Rogue with fictional encounter utility "It Was Him" that lets him immediate interrupt a power targetting him to change the target to any ally within 2 squares. 2) WotST with Shape The Dream, with 2 squares of the Rogue...

Interesting point. By the flow of the game/rules, it should be "Shape The Dream" trumps the others - as it states the attack didn't happen = all responses to it didn't happen either. No inconsistant effects where a person responded to/interrupted an event that didn't occur. You could also look...

Then don't play DnD - or ask WotC to give you "The Laws Of Metaphysics" as a book (as an asside I would love this book, as I do theoretical physics research as a job and would love a look at how Metaphysics could be defined). Realism without definable Laws of Reality is impossible. Magical...

A case made even more apparent, imo, when you think of a Wizard - who has his Daily in a spellbook and picks between it and another to 'prepare' that day. Your 'powers' are something your character has learnt to do, and then uses when the oppertunity arises. The exact way they pull of the...

Or just consider that sort of Warding/Binding ritual as Conjuring a Zone. Oh look, Dispel Magic works now. I'd possibly make it so the PC had to do an Arcana check, taking maybe an hour of study to correctly identify the Conjuration/Zone effect before being able to target it properly with...

Point 1 : Yes. Attacking a spot on the ground (or a patch of air) is like targetting an apple. You look at it, you aim, you perform your attack, it may or may not hit, it may or may not have any effect. Point 2 : Huh, not folowing this at all. Why does one need to be hypnotised to swing a sword...

The same as for attacking a rope holding up a bridge you plan to destroy. i.e. DM's call assuming it is relevent - but if you don't intend to Hit or Miss the square (but simply target it an use an effect) I don't think I'd ask my DM to bother assinging one tbh.

It's just as well DnD world isn't prolific. William Tell wouldn't have been able to aim at the apple with his crossbow (as a RBA requires a creature). Ditto Robin Hood and his archery contest. Say goodbye to Legalas shooting the cord holding up the seige ladder in LotR 2. The Shining would be...

Not by the rules as far as I can see. Assuming you mean CA via flanking, the rules on Page 285 PHB state you and your ally mst both be adjacent to the creature to flank (and nothing I could find removes this requirement for reach) TBH I woul dallow it like it was in 3.5 (where you count as...

The following is the last paragraph on Page 272 PHB : "When you use a melee attack or a ranged attack, you can target a square instead of an enemy. This tactic is useful when an enemy has total concealment (page 281) and you have to guess its location." This has the line "When you use a melee...
