Nothing except the 4E math, which this would break. (Heavy armour has to gain 2 points of AC each tier to keep pace with the +4 to int/Ref a light armour wearer can get, and the +4 to primary attack stat all classes get.) Oh, and the official WoTC PHB Faq found under the help section on their...

Call me crazy, but if the DM puts the players in a situation where the spellbooks get lost, and the DM doesn't have rules to allow it to be easily reconstructed, then I think it should be the DM's responsibility to give them a way of getting it back. This is because the spellbook is a class...

No, it would not. There are rules in the DMG to explicitly prohibit this sort of rort, and trying to move the goalposts a few inches doesn't get around it. And unless you have full-text listings of every single clause agreed to in these pacts in-game (which we don't have because this isn't...

Butterflies and puppies and rainbows and bunnies and kittens and my little ponies and little stars with smiling faces. All of which you can set on fire. What? I'm playing a warlock! (Turn based. The movement rules etc will not translate well to real time IMO. )

Due to the changes in the math, going up against targets you need a 20 to hit shouldn't be happening in 4E unless you're under huge penalties to hit, or fighting something you should be either talking to or running from.

'Marked' is a condition in 4E. It's the '-2 to hit any target but the creature who marked you'. Plus there are powers that have extra effect on marked targets, or which can only be used on marked targets.

Wouldn't these suffer because dilettante doesn't grant the ability to use an appropriate implement?

Here's the link to the WoTC ruling on Lay on Hands. Gleemax Forums

We've also had WoTC employees saying paladins CAN use Lay on Hand on themselves.

One wonders what a ranged attack character with the ability to move away and gain concealment was doing to end up next to an enemy in the first place...

Sorry. I was referring to the Breath Weapon, but forgot to mention that. I've edited my post. I must be missing something. The only feat like that I can see is the heavy blade one, but it requires high scores in Str and Dex. Actually, isn't that a serious flaw in a Cha-based Paladin? They...

Merchants buy magic items for the value of the residuum they can have the item reduced to if they cannot find a buyer. They're actually giving the PCs a pretty good deal, since the ritual to extract that residuum costs money.

Having re-read the paladin class and actually planned out a couple of builds, one for Str and one for Cha, I've reached the following conclusions: I was wrong about Cha-based being mainly a caster. As others have pointed out, it's a pretty good mix of types with plenty of weapon attacks and...

I'm at work, so cannot reference the books. Can somone tell me if this is still in? If so, then reff42's stance is in error. The taking damage part is not part of any standard condition - it's specific to the power used. So if the above quote is still in the rules, then any creature affected...

Playtest reports suggest that Archery rangers may be the top damage dealers, the main exception being a rort melee rangers can pull with one power. Any bets on how long before that rort gets errata?

I believe that may have been me?

Sadly, gribble, that's what I fear members of my gaming group will think as well. I was hoping to use skill challenges to sell them on 4e. It looks like they might be quietly swept under the rug until this is resolved.

Heres some comments just from what I've noticed in the rules, and a bit of fiddling with spreadsheets. Actual play may vary, and if it does I'm keen to hear of it, and even more keen to understand why: You'll need to increase any stat you use to hit with at every chance you get. So if you plan...

I think the problem is a misunderstanding of the phrase 'counts as' In all uses that I am familiar with: 'counts as' does not mean 'functions the same as' nor does 'Counts as' mean 'Suffers the same conditions as' In fact something that 'Counts as X' is usually exempt from any conditions or...

THANK YOU. My books only just arrived today, and I'm not allowed to read them at work. (My employer expects me to earn my pay, alas.) OK - that clarifies a lot of points for me. I still think a 7% success rate is too low, especially now that examples have been cited that seem to imply that...
