Then the question is, why bother to get items with "useless" MIDs? Players tend to hoard daily powers (class powers) because there could come this one encounter where they will need them; should I make those powers encounter powers, so that they will stop worrying/hoarding? The level of abuse...

No the ROG rolls once and compares the result against each orc's passive perception score.

It works against all orcs (if your stealth check is high enough).

I think this is only the case if one MID is really good and all the others are lackluster when compared to that MID. Why INT? max(1, LVL/3) gets nearly equal results (1-10) and is fair.

So why can't your wizard just write all powers of a given level into his spellbook, there are enough pages. Why can't my Fighter use that Daily Stance in every encounter or just keep it active? Because the rule say so and if players can buy this they can buy "you have only the magical potential...

There are two different sources, resistances apply against each source individually not against all sources added together. Therefore, it is: Aura 10 - Res 5 = 5 dmg and Ongoing 10 - Res 5 = 5 dmg, which leads to 10 dmg total at the start of the turn.

Just as a side note: It seems that most house rule suggestions add book keeping which you (OP) tried to avoid. If you use any of them it is more like you don't want to be forced into the choices the rules force upon you and it it less about book keeping. If you admit that, you should ask...

When a player uses stealth (successful) he is treated as invisible. If a monster moves into the square he occupies it auto detects the player, in this case he loses invis. (see stealth rules) You use this rule and don't apply the part about invis breaking. The player knows the square but the...

I play in a party (~ lvl18), our setup is: human FTR FWT(2h) PP: Pit Fighter (my char) human WIZ PP: Battle Mage MC CLR human CHAladin PP: Hospitaler MC Warlord or CLR dwarf FTR (axe&board) BR PP: Dreadnaught genasi Darklock PP: Darkwalker MC WIZ and sometimes a Tielfling CLR (STR and WIS)...

You can save against powers that a save can end and if you get an extra save from any source you might get rid of the effect sooner. But if a power does not say that 'save ends' its effects, even if you get a save it will do nothing if you succeed. But if you mean there are effects that you...

Why don't you take one and test how it plays out. If you don't like it simply retrain it at the next level and choose the orther one. And you can always choose a lower lvl power instead of a higher one. ;)

At the WotC CharOp Boards the following ruling applies: Reckless and Bloodclaw stack. They apply both to the same attack if both powers are used. You can use both powers any number of times during your turn. The penalty of reckless does not stack with it self. And to make your headache worse...

Magic item dailies (MID) are about choices. If I can use any number of MID a day I don't have to choose. Many of them are minor/free/immediate actions which you can add to your normal standard action attack to power it up. Your players will have more options in an encounter. Your players...

Because this discussion is based on the ranger I guess the best at will for the ranger is still twin strike and not the cleric at will. Furthermore, it is not +4 but +STR. Only if the enemies are in your face otherwise the damage of twin strike is far better and you can attack two targets if...

You can use both SA and HQ on the same attack. Brutal Wound only increases ongoing damage if the power already deals ongoing damage. Therefore, the 'save ends'/etc. is given in the power's description.

F*** 3800 + WIS dmg -- that's awesome! Overpowered indeed. ;)

It depends on the wording of the free action, I say. 1: Bestial Armor (AV): Bestial Armor has a Daily power you can only use after a succesful charge. It is a free action. 2: Flaming Weapon: Has a Daily Power you can use after a hit with the weapon, again a free action. Example 1 requires...

Does the armor description state that you can spend more than one action point in the encounter? - No, it does not. Therefore the answer is: You can still use only 1 AP/encounter.

Firstly I want you to realize that it is CA and +5dmg not +2 to hit and +5dmg. If you have combat advantage from any other source/reason one feat goes to waste. Secondly others and I have stated that it is not that difficult to get CA w/o this combo. If you don't know how to get CA take a look...
