    The highest-damage fighter power is level 3?!

    Its pretty good but you wouldn't want to fight the tarrasque or orcus (because of resist all) with that power, the fighters lvl 29 Daily, No Mercy, with a Vorpal Falchion and Gauntlets of Destruction is probably more the way forward. 14d4 reroll all 1s and a result of 4 means roll another dice...

    Question about being Slowed and Double Moving

    The rules as written says don't apply bonus' but mentions nothing about penalties, so slowed heavy armour wearing people are down to 1 square. But, I might over rule the ambiguousness of it and just leave the speed as 2, if for merely the fact that i'm going to forget to look at the monsters...

    Bolstering Strike abuse - infinate temporary hitpoints??

    It floats 1 foot off the growl and is 3 foot in diameter if you want to crawl under it prone by all means do so +1 cover bonus from attacks directly from above, +2 cover against ranged attacks as well maybe, any others would get the prone bonus to hit you that is combat advantage. Nowhere does...

    Question about being Slowed and Double Moving

    Heavy Armour poses a penalty to your speed, just like some magic boots give you a bonus to your speed. The wording of slow says it reduces your speed to 2 and you can't increase it, it doesn't say your speed equals 2 now add all penalties and bonuses.

    Warlock At-Wills

    The character progression table says each class gets two at-will attack powers, eldritch blast and the pact power are both at-will attack powers. If you were a Human Warlock you would then get to choose a third at-will attack powers as per the Human Racial Feature/Bonus.

    D&D 4E How does 4E hold up on verisimilitude?

    I think you are missing some words, i added them in bold, that and hp are defined as how lucky/skillful/fated/tough you are, see rants about minions. To be honest 4th Ed worries less about what a standard creature of a particular race is and instead gives you a fun and easy to run creature...

    Does teleportation negate falling damage?

    Rule it one way or the other and then keep that in mind for future uses of teleport. For example if it doesn't conserve momentum, then he can't use it to run and jump at a portcullis teleport 5 squares and then jump the remaining 3 squares of the 40ft moat on the other side.

    Rangers and dual throwing weapons

    Just one thing to look out for, I can't remember where but I think there was an official source somewhere on these boards saying that for each target of a ranged attack you need a seperate thrown weapon, even if they are magically returning ones. Now what i'd be really interested in, is a power...

    Question about being Slowed and Double Moving

    At first look I'd be inclined to say they can shift up to 2 squares, although that could get tricky with some of the slide someone so far and shift adjacent to them, there is no speed there is just a defined start and end of the movement, also when you slide a slowed person due to goading and...

    Question about being Slowed and Double Moving

    I'm quite sure that it intends for your speed to be set at 2, then you may move in anyway you wish afterwards, the increasing or decreasing speed is in relation to items or powers that increase speed, not movement options. A double move gives you double your speed in squares that you can move...

    Healing Word and short rests.

    Just to try and dispel the ignorance here, what the heck is a case of PEBDMS?

    Multiclassing - please explain

    I have to agree with that interpretation, when you get a Paragon Path power it stays the same and can't be retrained, same with the extra multiclassing powers. As a point of fact you can't retrain your normal powers to higher level powers, they are just replaced as per the character progression...

    Healing Word and short rests.

    Like adding in Irontooth's twin brother, all you do is duplicate a monster, no work for you and the players don't even need to know ;)

    D&D 4E Reviewing Past Predictions about 4e

    You might then ask why traps, combat in other environments and shhhh don't tell the players a r t i f a c t s are in the DMG. Mounts are in the monster manual. All books I think of as not being reading material for players. Oh and 4-6 hour play sessions, thats been the standard length of...

    Halflings - What's the Attraction?

    Wrong on both accounts i think, the TWF path will allow him to use ambi scimitars (unless rangers don't get scimitar prof) 1d8 weapons and being small he can only use a short 1d8 vs a longbow 1d10, either way hes dropping from a 1d10 to a 1d8 compared to a medium sized creature.

    What's the deal with Shadow Wasp Strike

    It is just a particularly weak power especially compared to the level one encounter power that doesn't need the target to be the quarry and allows you to shift 2 squares before striking. In my opinion it either needs to allow an additional attack at 1[W] or automatically grant combat advantage...

    A discussion of Keith Baker's post regarding the Skill Challenge system

    Nice little discussion and i do agree with you, I'll be looking out for skill challenges in the modules I run and adjust them accordingly. One point of note for skill challenges vs combat challenges. The result of a success in both are xp, treasure and other rewards. The result of a failure for...

    please ignore or perhaps delete thanks

    Argh, we're not going to get into that debate are we, should i say game world consistency instead? *edit ->* perhaps what breaks your suspension of disbelief? how about what breaks the fantasy physics of the game? (hmmm time for some deep breaths some beer and finish watching the sweden spain...
