If you're untrained in a skill then that just means you don't have any bonuses to it. Except for the bonus from the ability for the skill. And half your level. So your tenth level wizard with an Int of 20, untrained in Religion, would have a bonus of +10 to his roll (+5 from intelligence, +5...

I kinda wish they'd kept dwarven ladies bearded... then I could ruin everything for you by positing hairy-chested women dwarfs.

They got rid of those early because they had a lot of trouble balancing them.

Well, the full multiclass is to give up your paragon path so that you more fully mingle your two classes. Instead of your paragon path powers, you instead take powers from your second class. And you only have to use four feats to get there (multiclass feat, novice, acolyte, adept). That gets...

It makes characters too swingy. I've had poor luck on HP rolls before and ended up with a third level dwarven fighter with 13 HP. It made him useless as a meat shield; the bard was filling that role. By making it a static increase, you're guaranteed characters of a certain range of HP at a...

I hope more 30th level characters get statted up; I'd like to see the result of a battle between five 30s and a tarrasque.

You can bull rush after charging instead of a basic attack, but, yeah, that's it.

Mearls also said that you should read the rules so that the player gets the most benefit. That means multiply the +1. Take that! Granted, it wasn't an official statement.

Historically, goblins were mischievous and malign underground creatures, perhaps related to kobolds. Kobolds were largely house spirits and could be helpful or malign based on how you treated them. In neither case were they considered terribly charismatic, but were instead the bearers of...

I've noticed a few mistakes in calculating HP. I believe the warlock some pages back should have 185 and the 10th level dragonborn paladin only 83. Excel is pretty darn helpful for this, but the long and short of it is hpperlevel * [level-1] + classbase + currentcon. So your paladin with a...

Turns out it says that the cost of masterwork armor is included in high level items. So apparently all 16th+ items are masterwork? Or somehow +6 leather is as expensive as +6 feyleather? I don't get it.

Psh. Feats are the bugaboos of small minds. The clever PC would use magical duct tape to secure potions to his forearms so he could pull the cork with his teeth and drink the potion as a minor action without having to pull the potion from his pack. Of course, the clever DM would rule that the...

Tain't specifically mentioned. It would have to vary from check to check. A knowledge check about a monster might be a minor or free action dungeoneering or nature check. Running on the wall to get around a hobgoblin soldier so you can attack the shaman behind him would be a move action with...

Gamma Wolf Life's a bitch when you work for a werewolf.

It can carry more than you can, mageling! Assuming you're not one of those freakish wizards with a strength of 25.

Best I know, a level 26 item (magic +6) is a level 26 item is a level 26 item and will have the same base cost regardless.

You get +6 magic items starting at ~level 26. By that time you'll have been able to add +7 to any single stat, which could bring a 17/18 to a 24/25, giving you a bonus of +7 to AC. So a 26th level rogue wearing Starleather would have +17 to AC, whereas the defender would have +20. Also, your...

Except at the level when you finally face Orcus, death is more of an inconvenience than anything else. Well, the first time around it's an inconvenience.

If you really need stats, just give them straight 8s and a basic melee attack that does 3 damage.

That is one phallic iceberg! Giant icy penis... sea of fire... what sort of gender commentary are you making there? I kid; your stuff is great!
