    Rules Question: Rain of Steel and similarly worded powers

    No. This power doesn't use up an OA, but if you are, for instance, dazed, it stops working until you aren't dazed.

    Thievery Skill - Trained vs Untrained

    Most of that kind of stuff could be handled by a higher DC, though. They probably wanted to include that bit of advice for DMs but didn't want to make an entire section in the DMG for just that.

    Art of the Peel

    Are you really going to argue that monsters are aware of HP gain per surge spent statistics?

    Proud Nails?

    Then what about the text on page 226? "When you use a magic item as part of a racial power or a class power, the keywords of the item's power and the other power all apply." If the keywords are only supposed to apply when you actively use the item's power, the it should read "When you use a...

    Disarm rules

    4E borrows almost no design from World of Warcraft. 4E does borrow a few ideas, like that one Warlock Paragon Path with the soul crystals (eerily similar to a major feature of WoW warlocks) and the physical residue of disenchanting magic items. But come on! WoW's archetypal play experience is...

    Magic Weapons and Keyword Inheritance

    I don't think that's so obvious. The only text that indicates either of these relationships is the fire and radiant paladin example on page 226. Most powers definitely follow them, but the new illusion powers from Dragon magazine deal psychic damage but don't have that keyword. The text of...

    Wand Mastery Question

    I don't have the text on hand but I recall the bonus only applying to a single target.

    Monsters have Second Wind?

    No. It just means that if players want to heal an NPC or monster, that's how much they'll heal.

    Containing Strike? (Fighter Exploit?)

    Yup, all of 'em. That's the effect of a fighter's mark. They must have promoted it from an at-will power to part of the mark ability at some point.

    Simpsons did it

    You do know that it was the other way around, right? They pulled ideas from 4e development for Saga.

    Striker, Defender, Leader, Controller Dynamic

    Aks me in a month or two, when I've actually played 4e aside from one quick playtest.

    How do wandering merchants survive?

    Yes! The darkness is not a meat grinder waiting to chew you up! It's dangerous, yes. There are monsters, yes. But if you don't want monsters hiding under every rock and behind every tree, don't put them there.

    Stirge Art

    Maybe stirges drink intelligent creatures' blood because they like the screams better :)

    D&D 4E 4E respawning?

    I know, right? If you're mucking about with blueberries and snail shell powders, how can you expect any fabric to stay the color you want it? On a more serious note, it does cost 5,000 gp worth of diamonds to come back from the dead in 3.5. Even reincarnate costs 1,000 gp worth of rare...

    Keep on the Shadowfell character sheet scans

    Has anyone else had any trouble getting the the scans? I think Giant in the Playground is down right now. Is there any other way to see them?

    Warlord At-Will Powers level 1 via June Preview

    Don't most dailies we've seen deal 3[W]? And why are you comparing a daily to an at-will?

    Traps preview

    Well, there could also be clues that give you a bonus to your check. You know, "the penitent man kneels!" and all that.

    Some crunch from Rich Baker

    Tough cookies. You'll also have to change something else. D&D is not Fantasy Toolkit #3.

    Excerpt: Multiclassing (merged)

    I think you're losing something by simplifying it that much. A, B, and C are not identical like you've asserted. A and B are distinct from each other and belong to a set of objects. C belongs to another set of objects. Is it worth it to pay resources to draw objects from two different sets...
