Exactly Aegeri. All tho the game rarely points it out there are really 4 catergories of creature: 1) You 2) Ally 3) Enemy 4) Non-threat/Bystander/Unknown All are creatures - so all get hit if you target "creatures" but 3 are missed if you only target enemies. Of course those in the 4th...

Not sure I'd agree on that one completely. If a Fighter had a "Close Burst 1 - Target: All enemies in burst" I wouldn't force him/her to attack a villager just because the villager has no clue who they are and is therefore unwilling to accept a power from the Fighter. The Fighter's opinion that...

Well as being an ally is a "trust, plus intent, issue" I would assume the second he decides to stop "living his cover" you would be an enemy and the burst hits you. Assuming (as I always have) that any "enemies only" burst is a matter of picking all targets you want to in an area (so you swing...

Gathanos I completely agree with you that martial combat can be done based on almost any stat in general. This is also why every class uses a primary stat to attack with their powers. However the MBA is not that kind of attack. It is used for 3 things, mainly: OAs, charges, granted atacks. The...

Hunting Party Ranger Lvl 10 Utility Daily Martial, Stance Minor Action Personal Effect: Until the stance ends, each time you miss your quarry with an attack, you can choose an ally within 5 squares of the quarry. If that ally hits the quarry before the start of your next turn, the...

Glad to hear it on the spelling front - the guy I heard that one from must have just been playing it up to take the piss. As for Brit roleplayers in Japan, I can only assume that, like me, the "fly to the other side of the globe" bit puts them off.

I'm from the UK - we have a pretty easy time getting the books, almost any games shop will have them. Istar, the D&D books are in American not English actually -why Prestidigitation can "Color, clean or soil". Though they do have a "Light" cantrip and I seem to recall words like Light and Night...

I'm hoping the Set Items are made Rare. We had a guy join our group at level 17, and he was told to gear up in the normal manner (Lvl+1,Lvl,Lvl-1,misc = Lvl-1 in cost). He had two items from a set that where both more powerful than normal and worked together really well (as a Set should). This...

As someone who has a Wizard with Melee Training I personally don't mind the new idea of it only getting half-stat damage. I have the feat for RP reasons and my character makes a point of being in melee more than is sensible because of those RP reasons - and buys items/feats to go with the theme...

I like most of the changes that seem to be inbound. The race-specific feats for some classes may get a bit problematic but I doubt it will be a common problem (only Dwarf Fighter seems likely to need a fix tbh). Melee Training changes seem oks but a bummer for my 'Wizard Of The Spiral Tower'...

In my group we make pretty good use of rituals. Both my wizard and the party cleric keep components on us, and Phantom Steed has been a godsend (as we are doing a big-scale campaign and Speed 20 Flying Horses that don't tire are a great way to travel long distances for 70gp a day for upto 8...

I would assume you select Fighter and then select the "Build Choice" of Original or Essensials, or some similar way of denoting it, and then get choices or auto-options accordingly. Or it is possible that Knight will just be a basic features choice like choosing an implement mastery for...

So: Quoted Point 1) I said "puncture an organ" not "heart". Puncture the kidney vs Puncture the kidney, sever the spinal cord and bleed out twice as much IS a big difference (Rapiers go all the way through someone if pushed in as far as they can go). And you seem to be looking to add in a lot of...

Imo it would be 2000+XP. If they were two sperate 1000XP encounters they would = 2000XP so with less recovery time they should be at least 2000XP (as I2K said). The counter arguement is also valid - they = 2000XP but you don't have to handle them all at once - but it doesn't take into account...

But a dagger should be a lot less damage than a rapier on a big attack. 4W Attack: Dagger: I bury my dagger to the hilt, puncturing an organ = 4d4. Rapier: I bury my rapier through the opponent, puncturing an organ and knicking the spinal column, as well as having two holes to bleed out of =...

So you could have certain weapons do +1 damage vs others - like the average difference between a d4 and a d6 say? Basically you have to have the fact that some weapons do different damage in there somewhere (or any limitation to weapon uses/proficiencies is pointless) so it might as well be in...

Or the "No Dailies" could just mean we get a new type of Daily that is Daily(Special) and has the Special section say that the ability can be used every encounter not once/day (Like Leaders' Encounter Heals that can be used multiple times) or that it recharges on a short rest (same effect but...

Arcane Gate may spoil your fun a bit. Or just two range 10/hand-off teleports.

Very true - but he does have a point that adding "the value of your weight in kilograms" to something would not make it a "kilogram" bonus. It would make it an untyped bonus equal in number to "the value of your weight in kilograms". This happens to healing all the time. Lots of healing items...

His speed (normally base 6 for PCs) versus their speed. Then if he has abilities to help him go faster (such as Dimension Door for a Teleport 10 Move Action). Lastly is the issue of how long he can keep going versus how long the enemy chase him (up to the DM on how long monsters chase, can...
