    Heroes of Shadow Table of Contents

    I find it odd that peeps are surprised tha a Necro is a Wizard. It always has been, and I expectted it to always remain so. Wizard is often where summoning goes, so the "army of undead" is a Wizzy thing imo. Otherwise a Necro is just a "cleric of death" (which was the best way to do the classic...

    Yes it does have the Illusion keyword. Guess I learn something new every day :)

    Rituals - how i would like to see them revised

    But if you are going to have multiple power sources on a ritual so it can be used by al the peeps who should be able to put it into a build idea you just get back to a "everyone can do these rituals" (i.e. Bloom should be doable by Druids, Clerics, Wizards, Psion - considering the Time Bender PP...

    Word of Life and Pacifist Healer

    I would think not. I would assume the use of the term "the additional hit points" as opposed to "any additional ...." would suggest it only refers to the additional hit points granted by the stated effect. Not sure if RAW would make the distinction, but I would definately assume that was the...

    Helpless

    Would be too easy to CdG if "Double CA" did it. Especially for Thief/Rogue builds that give themselves CA almost every turn. Flank plus half the conditions in the game would become "Max Striker Damage + Crit Bonuses". All crit fishers would turn into "CA fishers", etc. Basically every fight...

    Rituals - how i would like to see them revised

    Not sure I like the idea of rituals having a Power Source tbh. Would mean no one could be an arcane/matial doctor without a multiclass (as I assume 'Healing' Rituals would get Divine sourcing so clerics get them), which sucks if you want to simply be a field medic type person. Ditto no...

    Helpless

    The magic effects the targets' internal organs/structure such that it becomes fragile in some manner. Thus any normal hit will prove devestating and may even be a big enough shock to the system to be instantly lethal (You can be CdG'd). A side-effect of this fragility is that the person is a...

    Helpless

    Probably, seeing as it is not a Dragon Mag power - it was Arcane Power.

    Thief seems overpowered to this new/old DM

    He might be, but I think the point is that if he isn't able to use it on the first he definately is able to on the second. (And he can't use it on both as they are in the same turn)

    4th edition version of Ghost Touch

    Weapons? No. (Or not that I noticed in the entire CB) There is a "Ghost Touch"-ish Ki Focus called 'Ghost Strike Ki Focus' - tho it requires Combat Advantage on melee attacks to ge the GT to work. (This is PHB 3 P205)

    When to Have An Enemy Attack Its Ally to Regain Consciousness

    Well I would have it depend on if the enemies not unconcious know anything about the effect. At the very least I would expect them to try the following (one/turn or maybe round) 1) Shout at the "sleeping" person (Free Action) 2) Give them a nudge (Minor Action if adjacent) 3) Shake them...

    Opportunity Attacks - no limit ?

    I think the point being made is that changing the Trigger of something to an event outside its range inherently changes the range/makes the Range entry irrelevant to the arguement of usability. Think about the following dummy situation: Fake Power 1 Encounter Power Action: Oppertunity Action...

    Magic Item Rarity List

    In-game "common" item means one that is made by any blacksmith/itemsmith of sufficient quality all over the game world, and can be found in any appropriate store. A notepad is common - I can go into any WHSmiths or Staples or Waterstones or ..... and buy a notepad. However buying a...

    Barbarian Charge Question

    Thanks Auliro, I guess that is what I get for not knowing my "cheese-builds" well enough. I must have just assumed it was to combat the problems like "minion-pop-charges" which can occur in sensible builds but can take the fun out of things very quickly if it just stops the DM ever using...

    Barbarian Charge Question

    I hope you intended the "Calm down" as a joke - as being inflamatory hardly seems a good way to go about asking for calm. You had a disagreement over rules in a game. Hardly worth the level of ire that either of you seems to be producing, especially when you consider this is the internets - over...

    Barbarian Charge Question

    Aurilo, I don't agree that it is as "cut-and-dried" as you suggest, for the reasons given above (see my post before your last one) but looking at the Barbarian "free responses" it would be a bit harsh* if the restriction applied to Swift Charge as all the others are definately not affected by...

    Barbarian Charge Question

    I thought they invented the limit to stop Barbarians mass spamming free charges? As it meant that minions became a load of free movement vor a Barbarian as he could attack one, kill it, charge another and rinse and repeat until all minions were dead and then charge a non-minion. Also it depends...

    The Awakened Psion (Dragon Article)

    For handling the option bloat I would hope they use the CB data to start ranking options and then put in a "Normally Not Wanted" section in the options where all the stuff that is (almost) never used would end up - so it is still an option if peeps really want it, but it won't show up to get in...

    Push/pull/slide through enemies/allies?

    Our group uses the official rules - You can go through your allies and not your enemies. We think of it in the following: Your enemies don't let you past as they worry about you getting a "cheap shot" in as you go past - basically they fear (IC) an 'Opportunity Attack' as they attempt to make...
