It may seem like an elaborate system, but the action types certainly have nothing to do with tracking. What does it matter if a power occurred from a standard action, minor action, or free action as long as you know save ends? It doesn't matter at all, thus why I am confused by the OP. I...

I think I'm a little confused at both your point and proposal. My confusion stems from the fact that you're combining concepts that shouldn't be combined. You shouldn't put Daily on the same bullet-level as Standard. So, the only problem I see you note is being able to track stuff, but I have...

You don't even need legs. Heck, you don't need arms or legs to swim or run, either, because the rules don't explicitly require it! Let's consider a PC Fighter with a superb Athletics check, call him Bob, without any arms or legs. He swims in the ocean just fine!

This supports Draco's point that you heal before taking the damage, possibly making the power useless (e.g., you're at full and are taken down in one hit). Others in this thread would swap the "Heal" and "Take" lines in your list, thus making the power Bear's Endurance more useful.

Thanks, El Mahdi1 Must spread XP around first... Anyway, I think your proposed revised action list is a little unclear. Unfortunately, that's not really your fault because the rules already have a gaping hole (since even 3.X edition) in that there's not a clear definition of wield vs. hold...

I agree with this part of what you said, but the interrupt occurs before the trigger and NOT before the action that caused the trigger. So, the success of the attack roll and the damage that will be applied is NOT interrupted or invalidated.

There's no distinction to "unequip" a shield and hold it in your hand, though. Else, it couldn't be just a standard to stow it. It's a standard to stow it, but to drop it (from fully equipped) is just a free action. Strangely, you need to spend two actions, minor and standard, to pick it up...

Not before the action, before the trigger. There's a difference. From the on-line compendium: Interrupt: An immediate interrupt lets you jump in when a certain trigger condition arises, acting before the trigger resolves. If an interrupt invalidates a triggering action, that action is lost...

2, 3, 4, 5, 6 are okay. 1 doesn't really affect me much, but it will never happen. I actually would envision MORE levels. 7 absolutely not, terrible idea. Good riddance. 8 I don't understand your suggestion, but I'm thinking it doesn't really matter. You'll get what they publish for...

I agree with this. Unless your monsters are running all over the place, slowing them really won't help much. In actuality, it may be a bad idea in forcing them to stay and whomp on the tanking healer because they can't reach anyone else. There are cases where it may be useful, however, such...

On the other hand, once you drop to 0 or less you are unconscious and therefore can't take actions, including any immediate interrupts. ;)

As usual in this topic, people get to the wrong conclusion to justify their rants. This has little to do with "stupid" decisions. You have random liches in a non-sandbox game? Was this a module or not? If you ran your game in a sandbox, I could understand your position, but then again you...

Are you using MM1 monsters or the revised MM3 stats? If you have MM1 monsters, you have to rebuild them. Yes, that sucks, but it was intended to fix some of the problems you are seeing (especially with modules). Regardless, there are a huge host of factors here and the simple answer that I'm...

A TPK in a climactic, meaningful battle is okay. A TPK in a random encounter (or other non-climactic battle) is not okay, but also extremely unlikely because a DM shouldn't allow such a difficult encounter in such a circumstance. (Caveat emptor is when you have a true sandbox and the party is...

We use the Tact Tiles. They're simply awesomeness.

In this case, yes it is. We're talking about casting a second Sensing Eye through the first. The question is whether you can "target" the square you can see from the first Sensing Eye in order to cast the second. If that target square is really a Target square (if you catch my drift) and it...

That would be irritating if there are extra rules in the PHB that are not in the on-line compendium, but c'est la via. The glossary definition of line of sight is "A clear line from one point to another point in an encounter that doesn’t pass through or touch an object or an effect—such as a...

Not so fast. It's a Personal effect. The power definitely works on you. The effect is then only line of sight. Anything about line of effect only matters if the power is not Personal.

I agree with keterys on this, if you use this version. Basically, it's crit dice per damage roll. Note, however, that you would still need to hit Ref to get the crit dice (else it's just an automatic hit). But, like I said earlier, I think that would be extremely rare.

To be accurate, this isn't true. There are no official Large PC races, so you can't comment on the "main benefit" because there are none. If you read the posts above, however, you'll see other options that I think support what I said. Namely, using "next step" dice. That's an example, and...
