I've seen such a quote attributed to the Rouse, but I don't know that I've seen a direct link to the source containing his statement. More on topic, no, I've not seen anything.

Why the high intelligence? Are you going to multiclass into wizard? Because otherwise you've totally gimped your two supporting stats and, to a degree, your main stat to no real purpose. You'll be able to get a few feats you couldn't otherwise, and you'll be better at some skills, but you'll...

When you get armor of a certain base enchantment, it's masterwork armor, and that masterwork armor may have other enchantments that change its cost. Basic leather armor costs 25 gold. Shadowflow Starleather +6 costs 2,125,000 gp. Sunleaf Feyleather +4 costs 65,000 gp.

Awwwwww! Well, at least it confirms that a 12 con fighter can wear scale. ... for now.

That would mean he'd only need a 10 to hit, rather than 12. Good call.

Hmm... yeah. I think you're right, Zarathustran. The language on interrupts is confusing. It'd be nice if there was an official memo saying it was akin to interrupts in Magic, with actions resolving last to first.

I think that's because an OA is a specific kind of interrupt that will occur very frequently and is the same across all classes, are always interrupts, and will result in the same responses. Other immediate actions will vary in trigger, result, and frequency based on classes and powers. What...

Indeed it is... it makes for some very interesting synergies between fighters and paladins.

Whenever something says "ability modifier", it just means the ability mod. You only add half your level to the modifier when you make an ability check. The character sheet's inclusion of a square right next to the modifier for you to add half your level to the modifier just confuses things, I...

It's a plate armor wizardfest! Of course, to get there, you have to spend four feats, so either you wait until 6th level (4th for humans), or you take a big hit to your attacks. Assuming you need, typically, a 12 to hit, that would mean you'd need a 14 to hit, or a 25% decrease in attack...

I think it would be clearer if you changed a bit on total concealment during combat. You can actively perceive it, in fact that's what a perception check is. However, because of the total concealment or superior cover, you can't do it as a free action. In other words, you can't just glance...

[stage whisper]Psst! It's a fey warlock![/stage whisper] The fey warlocks are all about charisma and, occasionally, Intelligence.

Yup. I can't recall offhand, but there are other attacks which have multiple possibilities for the type of damage, and which have one stat for attack and another for damage.

Where'd ya get the Draconic, Deep Speech, and Primordial languages from? You have to take the Linguist feat to get three new languages. Other than that, looks good!

For the experienced DM? I don't think it's necessary. Its crunch is basically how to construct adventures, how to bundle and hand out treasure, and how to design encounters. If you're running KotS, you might benefit from some of the info on scaling, but mostly not. The PHB has all the magic...

The primary definition of cover is "The target is around a corner or protected by terrain". One of your allies is not terrain, a wall, nor a corner for you to be around. The bit where allies provide cover only comes up under Creatures and Cover. "When you make a ranged attack against an enemy...

It rhymes. Rhyming and alliteration will always be popular. The US flag was once often called (though it doesn't happen much any more) the Stars and Bars or Stars and Stripes. Why's it always "Sword and Sorcery" and never "Fighters and Magicians"?

An active perception check in general is a standard action; you're looking all over the place to see what you can see. An active perception check to locate an invisible foe is different; you're trying to find someone you know is there, but you don't know exactly where. Instead of exploring...

I'm coming to 4e from 2nd, and want to learn the system. And I posted a thread about it because I thought people would be interested. And at six pages, I'd guess they are. :shrug: Works for me.

It's a variant; I should have looked more closely.
