The power says if you have jumped, fallen, of flown this turn (before using the attack power is implied, since it is past tense), you gain CA. If you charge, you can use the attack power in place of the melee basic attack, and the action's explicit order is (1) move, (2) MBA (or replacement...

...Are you really putting forward the argument that recalculating your character's base math and derived traits in the middle of combat (potentially multiple times) is convenient? Seriously?

I consider having to recalculate base character math (and all of the fallout from the change) to be far more fiddly than remembering if an effect is still active or not, particularly since I found players and DMs having the exact same problem in 3.X with caster level-based duration, and random...

And I'll bless them because they reduced the number of even more fiddly conditions from the previous edition.

The comment about subraces was true at the beginning, but ceased to be true at least a while ago. 4e does subraces in three ways: Branching racial stats, feats, or racial feature swaps. Shifters use the first method. When you make a Shifter, you choose Longtooth or Razorclaw. They are equally...

Also, the inherent bonuses were updated in Dark Sun to give a +1d6 crit bonus per plus.

I always thought dryads were the spirits of a type of trees (oaks in particular), while hamadryads were the spirits of single, specific trees (like the one in my backyard). That's how I remember those Mythology courses going.

I have it in front of me and I can't find this "more variance than 4e" you speak of. In fact, having gone through the Demons, Devils, and Dragons, which are the big baddies of the book, I'm incredibly underwhelmed. Care to provide some examples of 1e monsters that have more unique character...

The Gorgon King, eh? Are they throwing a little Birthright peanut butter into their PoL chocolate? I certainly hope so.

When you make an argument that you state as straight fact, it's common to provide something called "supporting evidence." Your post just keeps repeating your same thesis statement in different variations with no actual evidence. Your post is all rhetoric and no actual substance.

Nobody is saying that it is, so stop arguing like we are. We're saying that the number of decision points both at character creation and during gameplay causes a number of players to suffer analysis paralysis and by offering options that reduce those decision points to prevent that paralysis...

No, there wasn't. There was a pony named Bill.

If you and your whole group are entirely new to 4e, I'd recommend taking some time to play around with it (by the book) and not launch into a campaign that you're all invested in until everyone has shaken out the ingrained 3.5isms that are hard to get rid of at first. I took Dungeon Delve and...

Half of my group, because they suffer from option paralysis when choosing powers, then end up not using a bunch of powers because they're afraid to blow them before they "need them." They grasp the structure, it just doesn't work in their favor. I've never met a Sikh. Doesn't mean anything...

I think his point was the classic trope of iron being antithetical to magic would prevent them, not that the manacles would continue to bind someone who did polymorph.

Summer is from June 21st to around September 21st/22nd. By calendar, seasons from from equinox to solstice to equinox, and that's how companies normally announce their release schedules.

Take it up with the Psionic power source. It started the whole thing.
