No, because if you're using the bola to deal lightning damage, you are not making an attack with the ki focus. The feat only applies "to implement attack rolls and weapon attack rolls that you make with your ki focus".

No. "However, you must choose to use the enhancement bonus, properties, and powers of the ki focus, rather than the weapon you're wielding, or vice versa. You can't use both when you use a power." - Player's Handbook 3, pg 203

From my post in the Abstracting Wealth thread: I want to seperate the magic item economy completely (no buying, selling, or even crafting of magic items), use the inherent bonus system to make sure everyone's numbers are covered, and then make money matter more. As the system currently...

Like others have said, it could work, if you're willing to put in the effort to disentangle the magic item economy from the rest of the economy. It will depend on the group, though. Some players will find it frustrating. I want to know how much gold I'll get for performing this task, or how...

Not sure which option to choose between "I DM 4e and I use 4e's 5-alignment system or something close" and "I DM 4e and I don't have alignments as a game mechanic", as the 5-alignment system doesn't really have much in the way of game mechanics. Off the top of my head, I can't think of any...

Heroes of the Fallen Lands, page 344. Not sure what page it falls on in Heroes of Forgotten Kingdoms.

The 4E Player's Handbook has a page consisting of three columns of playtester names in fine print. I have, on occasion, browsed through the list until I come across a name that I can borrow that sounds appropriate. Also, stealing names from books and games works. Sometimes I do it...

Heh. The campaign I currently DM is running through the (yes-I-know-they're-not-all-that-great) H-P-E series of modules. We started in February 2009, and we're part-way through Pyramid of Shadows. The players will hit Level 9 if they can survive the fight they were in the midst of when we...

The smoothing out of the curve actually happened back in Adventurer's Vault, which introduced nearly 30 new types of masterwork armour. The Essentials table covers all of the purely-AC pumping versions, but some of the Adventurer's Vault variations allow a little bit of flexibility, trading off...

While I agree that it's frustrating that the builder doesn't support houserules, and will applaud the day they fix that oversight, is that particular one all that hard to deal with? I've got my character sheet and a pencil and two minutes, and voila, I've house-ruled in a bonus feat and...

When I'm designing a character to play, I generally assume (despite all experience to the contrary) that the character will be surviving to Epic tier. It informs my ability score choices, and other aspects of how I put my character together. However, I've never played a character for more than...

A gouge isn't a double weapon. It's a spear that is also an axe, not an axe that has a spear on the other end. It can't be used with Two Weapon Fighting and Two Weapon Opening. Yes, with a Rending urgrosh you would get the extra attack. The current Double Weapon rules specifically state that...

Weird. Wasn't aware it was quite that wonky. I did notice that certain gifts specifically reinforce whatever general feelings that a character has about you. A gift that, when a character likes you, dramatically improves their view of you, will make them loathe you all the more if they didn't...

That's because he doesn't have a single episode. He's the one who plays the Doctor (after Sylvester McCoy is forced to regenerate due to a medical misunderstanding...) in the 1996 Fox/BBC co-produced TV movie. As the movie didn't get the ratings that Fox wanted, it was never followed up on...

:) While you may need to be in an adjacent square to attack someone, the rules specifically refer to Reaching Something. I'd say that when something is flying, the rules really want you to be a bit more specific about how high it is than specifying the square. If we're bothering to calculate...

No. A Medium character cannot wield a Large weapon (under normal circumstances). Go to Step 8. Get Equipment. Select the Find Equipment tab. Enter the words "bastard sword" (with or without the quotation marks) in the field. It should pop up as the first option. It will be in red text if you're...

Premier Stores get early access to materials, and permission to sell ahead of general release date.

Selecting the Lost Crown of Neverwinter setting will assume you're following the official rules for that campaign, not the more wide-open approach your DM is apparently taking. Select Home Campaign instead. A bastard sword is a superior weapon, not military. If you don't have the proficiency...

Mordenkainen's Magnificent Emporium is the only book to do so. Just released in Premier stores. Available exclusively in hobby shops later this month.

Could my 4E game handle it? No. I don't care for rolled stats, regardless of how many safety nets you put in place. I'm also not a fan of the standard array, as it fails to account for the fact that some classes place much more weight on their secondary stats than others. I don't like them as...
