    No other Ranged Weapon Class, or How I loathe the ranger

    This guy playing an LFR character was lamenting that even when he uses an encounter or daily, he's getting twin strike with a bonus. Two-fang strike is twin strike with dex to damage and a bonus if both hit. Split the tree is twin strike with dex to damage and you use the better of the two...

    How did you avoid spamming attacks in 3e combat?

    Can the First Aid Skill "Use Second Wind" be used on unconscious characters?

    This just means that hit points are not the only measure of long you can fight. If somebody only has one or two healing surges, they're physically fine and ready to fight, but if they get hit very much they won't be able to bounce back. It's just like in 3e if the cleric heals everybody up and...

    Magic Items in Pyramid of Shadows

    With KotS it's understandable that the items could be off; after all, it was written before the rules were fully finalized. It's conceivable that the mod made it out the door while they had a previous version of the treasure tables, or didn't get updated with the guidelines in the DMG or...

    Wizards is giving away a free Magic: The Gathering deck

    Eleventh edition comes out 2009. I got mine a couple weeks ago. One green, one red. The green one was straight tenth edition with a lonely Shadowmoor treefolk. The red one is mostly tenth edition with a single Lorwyn and a single Morningtide common. Fairly useful staple cards, but the green...

    Walking wounded: Anyone else having problems with this power?

    Yes, that combo works and you should let it work most of the time. I would encourage you to find ways to circumvent the power, but only pull them out from time to time. Let some solos fall victim to it, but give others a way around it.

    Weapon of Myrdroon's Shard used in a charge or OA

    No, you can't do that. The power is a standard action and an OA or a charge specifically gives you a melee basic attack, [b]not[/i] a standard action.

    Good items for a Warlord?

    Guileful Switch is a minor action power that ends your turn and swaps your initiative with an ally. Then the ally's turn comes up. Used together, I basically get an extra turn once per day.

    Help requested with an Eldarin Fey Pact Warlock

    I don't have much experience with warlocks, but Alabast's suggestions are what I would recommend.

    Ruthless Ruffian, Anyone ?

    The thing about it is that if you have a steady supply of combat advantage, you can add your strength bonus to damage with Brutal Scoundrel. But if you grab a bunch of Rattling attacks and upgrade to a two-handed mace, you'll have some decent damage without combat advantage, which is an...

    Good items for a Warlord?

    Personally, I like the combo of the Casque of Tactics combined with Guileful Switch. I'll use the Casque to trade places with whoever rolls highest, use my turn, then swap back. A real winner combined with the Combat Commander feat.

    Sword Mage vs Rogue vs everybody else...(min-maxing and stacking damage questions)

    Yes, there's a hard rules for stacking. If two bonuses have the same type, use only the larger one. As for your other question, most damage bonuses say "bonus to damage rolls". So if you're rolling damage, you add that bonus.

    Combat is different

    Your observations were also made by the D&D 4th edition designers. They created a system to support a series of skill checks that would decide the outcome of an interaction. That's why they created the Skill Challenge system.

    "Why do we do it?"

    I first tried it because my brother was running a game and invited me to join, I think. I didn't really know or think much about role playing before I tried it. A lot of the satisfaction I draw from gaming is venting aggression and frustration through my character's actions. I also find that...
