If you do not have the vestige pact class feature, you do not ever have an active vestige, so you cannot switch to the daily power vestige to use its features.

Last season and this season have taught me one thing: those authors don't care that they were involved with these modules. It is your responsibility as DM to make sure your table has fun. When people complained that the monsters did way too much damage and the terrain wasn't even counted in...

The prone condition states that you cannot move from your square except by crawling. Flying is not crawling, so you can't fly until you stand up.

Emphasis mine. Stat choices confirmed?

Some zones allow damage against creatures entering the zone. That damage only occurs if a) the powers say "enters the zone or starts its turn there" and b) the creature enters the zone, not if the zone is moved to cover the creature.

In my book, 13 Strength for chain proficiency is a must for con shamans. I don't like my characters to be that vulnerable.

How many encounters do they usually take down? 2 surges an encounter times five encounter is more surges than a lot of characters have. What encounter level are you usually throwing at them? It sounds like your players have got some solid teamwork going on and that usually means higher-level...

I once flabbergasted a player at how smooth I handled a skill challenge. P1: Do we have new action points? P2: No, it was just the one fight. Me: No, you've had a fight and a skill challenge, so you've got action points. P2: That was a skill challenge!?

Well, if you look at any character sheet (including the example on PH page 30), you'll find that it says Dex next to initiative. Page 30's summary of initiative also refers you to page 267, where it tells you to add your Dex. So anyone making a character with a character sheet and anyone who...

Blinded and restrained don't give any penalty to athletics or acrobatics checks. check page 277 of the PHB.

I had a player like this. He was absolutely unattached to his characters and wanted to swap out for a new one once his character's schtick failed to grab attention. He constantly joked and poked fun. After other players complained about how disruptive he was, I pulled him aside and talked to...

Sounds awesome, but they're 11th level and nobody has a +1 javelin? Even a lowly +1 thrown weapon returns!

The Beast Mastery fighting style (found in Martial Power) would replace your Two Blade fighting style, but you could still wield two weapons. One of your weapons would have to have the off-hand keyword, but you'd have a beast companion. If you really like the Two Blade fighting style, you...

After playing a shaman for several levels, I know the difference. Look at spirit of the tempest from Primal Power. It is range "Melee 1". It is the sole bone tossed to shamans who want to make melee attacks. Edit: Note, however, that "melee spirit 1" is still "melee", so iron armbands make a...

There's also the melee 1 at-will from primal power. It's pretty decent.

I can't remember where (it may have been customer service) but there was some kind of clarification that said that "no property" means "magic +X". Any other interpretation is a recipe for madness.

Well, if you stick close to the standard treasure parcels, they'll only be able to afford items their level and below, which really isn't going to cause problems. Plus, if the players just split the gold between them, it will take a lot of saving up before they can buy something they care...

"Drow aren't evil" is something you should flat-out tell the players. "Orges aren't dumb" is something you should teach them. :devil:

Have you considered a Deva with Battle Intuition? Or you could multiclass fighter and take Wary Fighter.

If a power actually has no duration for an effect, the effect ends instantaneously (PH 278). The last power I recall that was printed without a duration was that Channel Divinity that grants enemies vulnerable radiant damage. There aren't too many powers that have that mistake.
