There's another thread for this, but the RAW also say, "Damage: The weapon’s damage die. When a power deals a number of weapon damage dice (such as 4[W]), you roll the number of the dice indicated by this entry. If the weapon’s damage die is an expression of multiple dice, roll that number of...

This is a very good point, especially considering that not all powers add ability modifier to damage. Wow, thanks for pointing that out, that explains things very clearly. Heh, WotC should hire you to write the books.

Well, since you basically asked for it... Vorpal plus GD average damages: d4 4.5 d6 5 d8 5.83 2d4 5.33 exploding only when 8 is rolled on 2dice and no rerolling of 1s, because 2 is the lowest possible result of 2dice 2d4 5.57 exploding only when 8 is rolled on 2dice and rerolling...

Possible, but I doubt it. Anyway, it's a fluff question. It doesn't effect gameplay at all. Ok, maybe I can think of a few corner cases, but still. It's like answering the following: "The PHB says that elves 'eyes are vibrant blue, violet, or green,' emphasis mine. I noticed that this is a...

Just because no one's done it yet in one post. Here are the average results using the proper math as given here under the Open Ended Rolls heading: http://www.rpg.net/columns/rollthebones/rollthebones2.phtml Base averages d4 2.5 d6 3.5 d8 4.5 2d4 5 d10 5.5 d12 6.5 2d6 7...

In other threads I've posted my idea about giving PCs templates to effectively make them "elite". This will effectively make him 2 PCs. If you let him play two characters like this you won't have to adjust things much. It'd be like having a party of 4 characters. I'd stick to the class...

That's a rule ambiguity? I wasn't going to start a thread about this, but since you did... yet another example of WotC fail. Out of all the questions they've been asked THIS is the one they choose to answer. What a joke.

Gotcha, well that's easy to fix with a houserule. And since d2 would be a houserule as well I don't see a problem.

Yeah, I'm running it to with some slight modifications that haven't kicked in it. Mostly plot stuff. Right now they've only had the first two encounters. We've got a minotaur fighter greataxe fighter, dwarven cleric of bahamut/moradin, githyanki star pact warlock, and a githyanki rogue. The...

Why does a first level PC have a level 5 magical weapon? Granted, it's part of the standard parcel for 1st level encounters, but still. Why does he have it at this point? Or had these characters adventured before? Still first level?

I still don't get how d2 vorpal equals infinite damage.... Please explain.

Ok, I understand the reasoning behind this rule change for 4e. Basically, it's less complicated and makes for a smaller weapons table. But I have two issues which I'd wish to house rule. The first is relatively simple but involves the second. 1. I'm going to add small size weapons to the...

Yeah, love the upgrade except that I thought the site was still down until about an hour ago because of this issue. I'd just go to my address bar and start to type "enw", down arrow, and then hit enter to get to my usercp. Heh, force of habit, guess it's my own fault. Well, eventually firefox...

Seven and eight are far more than three. He said, "you only ever have 3 encounter and daily powers". "And" means addition, doesn't it? I see what he was trying to say now, but that's not what he said. I didn't realize he was trying to say 3 encounter and 3 daily.

Not according to math. 1d12 is still better than 2d4 even with exploding dice. 2d6 is better than 2d4. Even a d6 is better than 2d2, on average.

"Two-Blade Fighting Style: Because of your focus on two-weapon melee attacks, you can wield a one-handed weapon in your off hand as if it were an off-hand weapon." This seems to imply that anyone can "wield" an off-hand weapon simply by holding it in their off hand. So, by RAW, they would gain...

I think you're wrong, take a look at page 29 of the PHB or page 143 of the DMG. PCs have far more than 3 encounter and daily powers even before hitting epic tier.

I think that, "Lower than 10: You slip one step closer to death. If you get this result three times before you take a rest, you die." is pretty black and white.

Read the note at the bottom of the table at the bottom of that page. They're not adding the half level modifier, they're adding the skill check modifier to the Easy DC from that table for a PC of 8th level. No error.

So, I guess the capital of Canada really is Toronto.
