The Cure Disease ritual fits in well with this model, too.

Aim your laser. Pew pew!

Yeah, so your first example takes 9 minutes to scribe, even if the 'chalk line' in-game goes slightly through the ones around it. 'Complete' squares only. We're not trying to count up the half-squares.

The thing about optimization is that it breeds the feeling of being useless in a fight by the very act of optimizing. It creates the disease, and then exalts itself as the cure. If you're able to bring the hurt with your character and meaningfully contribute to the party, trying to squeeze...

I disagree vehemently. Tens of thousands of posts on the internet about whether a paladin would kill orc babies is not philosophical depth, it's nerdrage at its most banal.

Robertligouri, the rules of the game are not the physics of the game world. I stopped caring about RAW quite some time ago. Now I'm more concerned with finding players who would rather play a game of heroic fantasy action than the game called "find the hyperliteralist, contorted, exaggerated...

I would totally let a player take Ritual Casting (Restoration Only) if his character was only trained in Heal. But I have a feeling that most available rituals in my campaign are going to be found as scrolls. Ritual tomes will be rare beyond rarity. Although maybe not so much that it screws...

Oh, I don't know. Maybe I'm not 'experienced' enough but I think it might be fun to have a character involve himself with the Objects of Vecna even though I as a player know they're bad news.

Wouldn't the Close descriptor negate OAs?

To this I can only ask: What about "free encounter power from any class" doesn't seem mulitclassy?

They have these denotations in your mind only because D&D 3rd Edition used them in that specific way. Otherwise they're pretty interchangeable. Covered by mist. Concealed by the wall. These only sound incorrect because of your years of playing D&D.

The Effect header works every time you use the power, regardless of whether you hit or miss.

I don't think a Blast is always Close. The placing of the effect doesn't change, but 'Close' just means "no OA", and a Blast *could* provoke OAs, theoretically. It would seem silly, but it's possible. *note that this is my opinion and may not actually be correct.

I just don't see "turns into stone in daylight" to be all that interesting. "Oh, great, another pack of trolls. GenericCleric7, let them swarm me and then pop open your daily Daylight spell." Yawn.

There are 4 at-wills available per class, but you get to choose 2.

I'd like to point out that winning a thread via Calvin and Hobbes is really poor form. It's like throwing a nuclear warhead at a Mexican Standoff.

Ruthless yet honorable seems more Unaligned to me, personally.

I think I'd prefer the sorcerer be a Primal controller. But who knows? Maybe moving it to Arcane opens up space for a spirits-shaman-y primal controller. But then again, why would two primal controllers be a bad thing and two arcane controllers be a good thing?

I don't know if anyone has said anything truer about the Monk, or could possibly say anything truer.

Because spite is one of the four humours of the internet? On topic, I don't think there's any way I'll be disappointed in rituals. Can they be: One-shot? Yes. Learnable and repeatable? Yes. Expensive and time-consuming? Yes. Limited in availability by the DM? Yes. These are all things we...
