Or take one of the multiclass feats that gives you skill training in Arcana or Religion.

Oh, and here's a snippet of it, for anybody who doesn't want to download the PDF. So, they want skill challenges now to be X successes before 3 failures, and with much easier DCs.

Take a look at the DMG errata. They've as much as admitted that the basic structure of skill challenges as admittedly released is wrong.

Thanks! This is exactly the sort of thing I was referring to before, though I wasn't sure of a specific source for it.

This sentence is only here because the forum kept refusing to post a message with only quotes in it.

As another poster's already noted, combination of fighter marking with non-fighter attacks from race or other classes was indeed noted by 4e's developers.

This is pretty much exactly what I was going to say.

8th, 18th, and 28th are the levels of the existing members of the Portal family of rituals... who am I to buck the trend?

I figure somebody's going to start doing this stuff sooner or later, so I might as well pipe in now with the first thing I've come up with. :p Really, I think it's fairly solid, though I'm not at all sure that the component and market costs should remain as small as they are. Limitless Portal...

"Modern Age" is the label I've usually seen - the sensibilities of the Iron Age with, generally, a rather less intentionally offensive attitude.

The problem I see with the artificer's ability to get extra uses out of items is the limit on using magic item daily powers per day (1, 2, or 3, plus 1 per milestone). The artificer can use the same item more than once, sure, but he's overall not getting much benefit over somebody who just uses...

Unless they're wands, staves, or rods the artificer makes for himself with the appropriate ritual.

Anyone who's played Nethack knows that the answer is obviously "yes". (And knows to keep a new character ready in the background, just in case.)

That item that refers to healing constructs makes me wonder if the build-in-progress we're not seeing is a hordeficer-type.

That's what specific hybrid classes, like paladin (cleric + fighter) or the upcoming swordmage (wizard + fighter) are for.

Or you're lunch - in which case, push/pull/slide attempts won't matter much.

No. The ranger (or whoever) hits him in a painful point, like near an eye or inside his jaw, that makes the dragon jerk in the opposite direction in pain.

Good point.

Yes. If you want the damage to continue, you keep having to use divine challenge (a minor action each turn). EDIT: My interpretation, anyway, and what seems like the RAW even if it's not the RAI.

It makes the sleep spell and similar effects a heck of a lot less attractive, though.
