    Off-hand weapons. Meaningless?

    Right. For instance, the bugbear rogue uses sneak attack + exploit with a dagger in his off-hand, then takes OAs with the bastard sword in his main hand.

    The Compendium is Live

    Oh, word. I knew about the first set of updates, I guess I just missed the Steel Grace part! Good eye on the warlock stuff too. I couldn't find it until I checked the "Power" tab.

    Where is this errata? I didn't see this either...

    Hoards of Minions and 1st level characters

    I pitted my 6 1st lvl PCs against 24 Decrepit Skeletons and they did pretty well. They were searching a tomb, and the skeletons activated inside alcoves set into the walls. 12 were very close to the PCs, 6 on either side of them, and the other 12 were up ahead further in the room. The 1st group...

    I cast a blast spell, you say: how high?

    Excuse me, but you got your Flame Strike in my Burning Hands.

    Rogue's Blinding Barrage (Daily lvl 1)

    I did too, but page 270 of the PHB says "If you're using a projectile weapon to make a ranged attack against multiple targets, you need one piece of ammunition for each target, and if you're using thrown weapons, you need one for each target."

    Rogue's Blinding Barrage (Daily lvl 1)

    Yup, you need a weapon/piece of ammunition for every target in the area. So, a rogue will need at most 9 daggers for this.

    Creature Incarnations - Kobolds!

    This is true. Most of the other kobold's weapons do the damage shown in the PHB though, although the Kobold Warpriest's mace does 1d6 instead of 1d8.

    How to improve Dragonborn Senses Feat?

    Yup, since pretty much everyone in my party bought an adventurer's kit they have a bunch of sunrods. Illuminating out to 20 squares? Who needs low-light vision!

    Creature Incarnations - Kobolds!

    But, even small creatures wield the same battle axes as medium creatures. They just have to wield it in two hands since it is versatile. Maybe some 3.5 crept back into Mearl's head?

    Creature Incarnations - Kobolds!

    Another thing - the Kobold Chieftan is only doing 1d8 damage with his battle axe, when he should be doing 1d10.

    How to detain an Eladrin Rogue? ie, teleporting

    Well, when you teleport you bring along what you're wearing and carrying. I think that blindfolds and shackles count too. Unless of course you let eladrins teleport out of their clothes. :D

    Creature Incarnations - Kobolds!

    Love this article! I really feel that the new Dragon is living up to the standards of the old. My favorite articles were the Demonomicons and Class Acts, and of course the various monster features, so it's nice to see them return in style. As an aside, the Kobold Wild Mage's Wild Teleport...

    You primary stat should never be lower than 18

    Unless of course the skill challenge has a time limit (a possibility the DMG suggests). I had the PCs chase goblin raiders through their village and after 10 rounds if the skill challenge was not won or lost by successes/failures the little buggers would have escaped.

    Why shuriken?

    Well, rogues get an extra +1 to hit with daggers, so that's one reason to throw a dagger over a shuriken. And didn't you see? "Ninjuz iz kewl." You want to be "kewl," right? What are you, a communist?! *EDIT* See, there are ninjas in this very thread. You do not want to offend them.

    Chainmail vs Scalemail

    Some classes are only proficient in chain, therefore requiring them to spend a feat to get scale.

    The highest-damage fighter power is level 3?!

    I'm not sure the indentations are indicative of anything. Every power with a secondary/tertiary/etc. effect has those indented except for Lightning Bolt and Chain Lightning.

    The highest-damage fighter power is level 3?!

    Absolutely correct. Notice in the "Hit" section of the power it says nothing about "Make a secondary attack." The secondary attack is granted if you're wielding the correct weapon, nothing more.
