But you did happen to post this on a forum meant for open discussion... For a non-spellcaster, encounter and daily powers aren't reserves of energy only useable for one purpose or something - they're forms of narrative control. A 29th-level Fighter doesn't think "oh, I will now use no mercy" -...

I'd have to agree with this sort of view of things.

I'd second druid in 3.x, especially since wild shape + natural spell mean being a potent melee combatant and a full spellcaster at the same time.

No, because that's what sneak attack (and its derivatives) are for.

That's part of the idea... at a certain point there should be some way to do it without having to worry about the bookkeeping at all. Yeah, that would be something to watch out for.

The description notes a passenger deck and room for 30 Medium creatures... I have the feeling this is the stat block for essentially a small passenger ferry/transport, and anything specifically built for combat purposes will have more impressive stats (but lower cargo and transport capacity)...

Something I've been pondering is the idea of ways to cast rituals without spending the component cost. Maybe a feat that lets you cast rituals of (your level / 2) by spending X healing surges instead of the component costs (where X is determined by level / ritual / whatever), and these healing...

Something like this would be nice. My suggestion would be that if you do the paragon multiclass thing (instead of taking a normal paragon path), you get some or all of the other class' basic class features.

I really like the setup of the "permanent after a year and a day" rituals, and the sustaining ability of Tenser's Binding.

Going with this angle, you may want to have some locals view the troll as an ugly but necessary part of the region - maybe its sense of possession of the area (or inhuman hunger) means that it kills off (or hunts and eats) some monsters or inimical wildlife that would otherwise pose a threat to...

They would stack, in this case. This may be an oversight... or it may be intentional, given that Dwarven Durability is a paragon-tier feat.

Yep. You (as a fighter) can mark with any attack, whether it be melee, ranged, area, standard, move, immediate reaction, whatever.. (Keep in mind that it's leaving a threatened square that's important, not entering one.) And take a look at the paladin's Divine Challenge.

Guardian Games is fairly popular. http://www.guardiangamesportland.com/

Note that it requires any feats you're going to use Persistent with as prereqs (and I think you have to take Persistent once per feat, too) so it's a fairly large feat sink. That said... Persistent Spell used with divine power is about all you need to make a cleric with the same kind of damage...

Divine Metamagic lets you burn turning uses instead of increasing the spell level. So, if you can get six turning uses, you can use them all on a single Divine Metamagic'd spell and cast it in its normal level slot.

Extended Spell, Persistent Spell, then Divine Metamagic (Persistent Spell) is a popular feat chain for clerics. Burn most of your turning uses to cast divine power (BAB = your HD) with a duration of 24 hours. EDIT: With a low Cha, though, you may need to take Extra Turning to get enough turning...

You should probably give a page number reference to Rain of Steel, so people who haven't memorized the book know what you're talking about. :P

This note doesn't make much sense if the slidee is the one who decides where to go. There would be no reason to have the "spending squares of movement" clause if the whirlwind isn't what dictates the original direction of slide. EDIT: Note the "you" there.

Maybe we've found the next bit of errata in advance! ;)

Too bad there's no half-dragonborn, half-dwarves, or half-halflings. (Eighthlings?)
