Except that your paragon path powers are not among the powers of your class. If your ranter takes a fighter multiclass and then the Pit Fighter paragon path, then you can swap out your ranger powers with those of the fighter... but the Pit Fighter powers aren't fighter powers nor are they...

Swimming is an athletics check, which is a physical skill and therefor takes an armor check penalty for heavy armors.

I'd say that a cloud being positioned on someone counts as them entering the cloud, but not if the cloud merely passes over them during a move action.

Yup. When you multiclass, you count as that class as far as feats and paragon paths are concerned.

Well, Orcus is meant to be a serious challenge for 30th level characters.

I would roll my eyes at you, but that's bad manners. Instead I'll sigh at you and shake my head. I never suggested that the six stats cover the full spectrum of human ability. Hell, the greater number of stats in Fallout and their d10 basis likewise don't cover the gamut of human existence...

By the time you face Orcus, you have abilities that turn death from a problem to an inconvenience.

You've never had a character with bad stats? A character with nothing but good stats is a literal paragon, a shining hero, and about as interesting as a cardboard cutout. With bad stats, it gives you a chance to explain why a character is good at some things but terrible at others. It goes...

The fighter only gets one immediate action per round, so it's not quite as awesome as you might think. Otherwise, yeah, triggering an OA from a mob should allow a fighter to get in a free hit. The mob doesn't have to take the OA.

If the party deliberately self-optimizes in that way, the DM could easily fix it by throwing frosty mobs at them.

I wouldn't say no penalty for leather. It's not like sleeping in a leather jacket on a fine, italian leather sofa. A boiled leather cuirass would be like sleeping in an old boot. Perhaps one for leather or hide, two for chain or scale, three for plate.

Depeneds, really. The extra +1 to hit definitely helps, but +2 to Con and +1 to wis is nothing to cry about. The extra con gives him 2 HP and a whole healing surge and the extra wisdom boosts the effects of his powers. Question: Which is better? Answer: Yup.

Holy CARP that's awesome!

You have a pact that puts a premium on maximizing one stat, a second pact that puts the premium on maximizing another stat, and a third pact that prefers a balance between the two. Works for me.

And part of the philosophy of 4e was that any feat necessary to make a build viable should just be part of the build or gone entirely. Thus allies don't cover enemies and spellcasters don't need concentration.

I hated everything I knew about 3rd edition multiclassing; it always seemed tailored to munchkins with roleplaying a distant fourth or fifth place. Being able to do two things professionally should be hard. It should take real cost to do that. If you want to be a true multiclass, giving up...

Scenario 1 You watch as I run into a stand of trees and brush, 20'x20'. You know where I am, generally, but can no longer see me. You fire off an arrow and, by chance, hit me. In this case, I made a stealth roll, you failed to beat it. You then attacked at -5 and hit. Scenario B I jump over...

Only powers; only the ranger is a two-hander in this edition, when it comes to attacking. Everyone else puts their attacks on one leg.. er, hand at a time.

I'd say that rest in armor isn't as restful, so you don't get all your healing surges back. Maybe you lose one or two?

Paladins get proficiency in plate armor for free; they don't need to meet the str and con requirements for the armor proficiency feat. They need them to fill their role as a defender, of course, just not to wear the armor.
