Thanks, I stand corrected. :)

@ Kordeth: True. I've now concluded what has been my "irk". Prime Shot "urges" you to keep closer to the mobs than your allies - whereas the longbow benefits you at long range (so you cannot be easily targeted by mobs). Hunter's Mark "urges" you to flank or move to mob's rear to be able to...

Agreed, but the question is wether "stunned, immobilised, prone, or over difficult terrain" are handled differently when "Pull 2" compared to "Shift 2". I think not. :)

Not as I understand it from page 285 in PH. All three of push, pull and slide are handled similarly it seems to me. "Whether you’re pulling, pushing, or sliding a target, certain rules govern all forced movement." This is off topic but it's pretty important to clarify how push vs slide works...

Ah, this is the source for my problems. It's Hunter's quarry you need to target your closest enemy, not for Prime Shot. I mixed the two up - now this is the reason of my frustration. I want to shoot enemies at the back using both Prime Shot and Hunter's quarry. Hrmff It seems I'm best off...

Umm, I actually missed that I don't need to shoot at the one closest to me. Thanks theNater! :) I guess I this means my ranger should try to be at the front when things start much more. I've kept from doing that as I tend to get charged and it's not fun to try shooting while being OA by...

Hahaha. fun :) This leads me to thinking about even funnier situations. I think the Warlord should get bonuses to the healing for how convincing his telling off is. If he really degrades the dying character to a maggot (as franktdhem mentioned) and gives a yelling by the military drill...

I guess that Wizard gave Archer Rangers Prime Shot for the same reason as the TBR; to help the tanking/healing/striking roles. As there is no such thing as "aggro" as in WoW, I think Wizard tried to solve that issue by small but rather effective techniques. (Another example is the so much...

I was just yesterday considering Disruptive strike for my archer ranger and thought "meh, sounds like something meant for a two weapon melee ranger.". But without the OA the power gets MUCH better. :) I will giggle (humf "sni_g_ger" wasn't allowed to write because of the sensitive word...

Have a look at the official character sheet at the back of the PH, page 318!! There it says Passive Perception is 10 + skill bonus. It's really easy to misinterpret the skill bonus to just include you +5 for training (without the WIS-modifier)! And I guess that's the reason a lot of the...

Thanks! I hoped it worked that way, but you never know with RAW. ;)

I'm designing a personal character sheet in Excel and come upon the question how passive perception is calculated? Should Passive Perception include your WISDOM-modifier or not? In other character-sheets I find it's not, but when I quickly check the PH I cannot find any such statement. PH...

I do not agree with this. Why shouldn't allies give cover in your turn?

Thanks for understanding my point. :) As people got upset with me giving such an extreme example, please take a look at what that means in a "normal" combat exapmle with a 50% chance to hit. The difference in relative hitrate is +10% (favouring the 20-stat-char of course) meaning the 20-char...

I think Amnuxoll points to a very important game mechanichs fact. Me being an opter and wanting a /in my eyes/ beautiful charachter I early saw that I only liked the classes/builds that needs just two stats. In my opinion 90%+ of your attacs comes from your primary attack stat. And this game...

I totally agree that the phrasing is very unclear. And I understand that other people can interpret the text differently than I do. If I was to just read it RAW I would not come to the same conclusion as I do when I read it trying to get the RAI. :)

My interpretation on RAI is that a mob don't know about the Riposte strike as it isn't marked or anything. The riposte is like any other interupt abilities a char can have. It happens as a reaction - nothing has happened before that reaction, no marks, no penalties to the mobs, etc. My...

Hmm, I'm willing to try this also. Are there any official pre-printed combat cards for each class? (Would be a snug gift from me to at least one of my groups, if there are.) I'd prefer to buy neat ones than to make and use my own (as they would be ugly due to my lack of skill in painting/drawing...

I think "which is best?" depends primarily on your role, but also on the situation and the campaign. Role Starting with role I'd say a tanking fighter have most use for the dwarven or the dragonborn racials, whereas a fighter in the role of striker have best use for the dragonborn. A ranger...

Perhaps this can give you some more? Fighter - having to qualify for (and/or discover) ancient fighting styles (e g Kensei etc). Warlord - my group associate this class with nobility (even though we know all classes can be noble). Five millions things come into mind when thinking about...
