    Swordmage Dimensional Dodge question

    You are correct, sorry. Opportunity Attack, Opportunity Action... its right there in the name, not sure why I got it wrong. So the Swordmage would get to make an Opportunity Attack, and if he kills the Enemy then their attack is invalidated =)

    Swordmage Dimensional Dodge question

    Actually the one benefit I can see to the Interrupt is if the power is something like Force Orb or Acid Arrow. Since you teleport in the middle of the spell being cast, the Enemy is now adjacent to you and would be hit by the Secondary Attacks.

    Swordmage Dimensional Dodge question

    You don't target squares with ranged attacks, you target individuals (PHB pg 270). The Ranger powers stop the attack only when they move you outside of the reach of the creature attacking you. Since the teleport is unlikely to move you outside of the range of the attack, it does not...

    Khopesh: HBO plus Deadly Axe

    If you have access to DDI, the new Class Acts article focuses on the Warlord. They give him a few powers that give enemies bonuses to attack him, but if they do all adjacent allies get OA against the enemy.

    Initiate of the Faith

    Tale is correct. Here is an explanation for why it works this way. The general rule for Encounter powers is that they can only be used once per Encounter. The specific rule for Healing word is that you may use it 2 (or more) times per Encounter. The even more specific rule of Initiate of the...

    Bard is spoiled!

    Flavor: Bards are artists that practice their instruments and magic. Mechanical: Arcane Leaders, with some Controller stuff Lots of ranged attacks. A few melee. One of their unique things seems to be the ability to attack, and make that target marked by an ally (not themselves). Some...

    Fighter and Unyielding Avalanche

    An Interrupt occurs before the damage is dealt. A Reaction occurs after the attack is complete (after damage). They are both Stances, therefore they can not both be active at the same time. Yes, Brutal is a property of the weapon.

    D&D 4E Obligatory dump stats in 4e: the irrelevance of Intelligence

    I'm too lazy to click the Fork button, but I did want to say that I didn't mean to imply that you were having Bad Wrong Fun. It's your game, play it however you like =) Six classes out of twelve list Intelligence as one of their Key Abilities. Wizards, Swordmages, Artificers (and it looks...

    Word of Mearls: Official Player races will not get Oversized Weapons. Forked Thread

    So are you saying that PCs have more Power(s) and are more durable(more healing surges)? While Macs are designed to give a PC something to beat up on? Maybe we should just stick to edition wars here, and not get into the whole PC/Mac thing :p:p:p

    D&D 4E Obligatory dump stats in 4e: the irrelevance of Intelligence

    Wait... what? I'm sorry but my head just exploded. You have your players use a non standard character creation system.. and then complain when it breaks things? I won't even get into the brokenness that +9 from mods is, even before allowing characters to go below 8 in some stats. But you...

    Reaper's Strike and Ongoing damage, how does it work?

    In this case I would say that when the initial damage takes place would be considered the initial attack. However, I can agree that it is not completely clear cut. It seems like the best interpretation to me though.

    Reaper's Strike and Ongoing damage, how does it work?

    So, to the OP, its option B. Since the Fighter's power damage the creature on the creature's turn, they would not take the damage until their next turn. The creature would get a chance to save at the end of their turn however. If the creature did not make their save on the first turn and...

    What the heck am I missing about TRAPS?!

    A Flame Jet trap is level 8, why would you expect it to give a level 20 Rogue a challenge? At level 20 try a Symbol of Suffering, level 24 with a DC of 36.

    Lay on Hands through multiclassing?

    But only for Martial classes, and the Paladin is a Divine class. Will have to wait for Divine Power or new multi-class Paladin feats.

    Non-lethal damage

    Yes, there are you just said what they were =) PHB pg 295, "Knocking Creatures Unconscious"

    Runekeep - Halloween 4th Edition module

    Yea, looks like some copy/paste errors there. Further on, things don't even list a Bloodied value. The Time Lost Children are minions, which means they have 1 HP.

    Bursts and Blasts 3d?

    Regardless of the third dimension, a Blast 2 is only 2x2. For a total of 4 squares. It may have just been a brain/keyboard thing but I wanted to make sure =)
