    Is switching hands a free action?

    Sorry, you are correct. "Free actions take almost no time or effort. You can take as many free actions as you want during your or another combatant's turn." (PHB pg 267) I did leave the almost out of my post above. However, I still believe that this supports the idea that someone can swap...

    Save that ends the effect

    How is this going to stack with things like Orb Mastery and Spell Penetration?

    I had considered using someone's MSE data as a basis for the cards, however MSE stores its data in a binary format of some sort. almuric is currently working on some scripts to to import the power data from Cut & Paste text out of the PHB PDF. Thanks for the feedback. Yea, I have noticed...

    Dragon 368 - Death Matters (But Never Happens)

    I did like one of the ideas you posted in your original post: However it should be 15 + 1/2 level since thats the standard rate that skill difficulty increases. In fact all Heal checks should increase in such a manner.

    Sustaining a power provokes OAs?

    "A basic attack is an at-will power that everyone possesses, regardless of class." PHB pg 287 Below that they give power blocks for both Melee and Ranged Basic Attacks just like the class powers. This is incorrect. Pg 290 defines the general things that provoke (other specific rules...

    Sustaining a power provokes OAs?

    That very well may be the case, the two are not defined as mutually exclusive. If the caster does not extend the effect on their turn, then it ends at the end of their turn (PHB pg 278), or the target can make their saving throw ending the effect at the end of their turn. Either one can define...

    Sustaining a power provokes OAs?

    I've looked at several (admittedly not every) Conjuration power and they are all worded similarly. What does that mean? That the attack is completely separate from the USE of the power. Using the Flaming Sphere power conjures the sphere, and triggers the attack. Sustaining the power (with...

    D&D 4E 4e is boring?

    This is a mistake that I see people make quite frequently when comparing 4e with 3.x. "I wanna be X class... but make it do Y thing." Character class and character concept are not the same thing. So I'm going to edit your sentence to remove the class from it. "I'd want to be a very beautiful...

    Is switching hands a free action?

    Wow, I thought that the recent D&D Q&A would have killed this topic: Now lets look at what makes up switching weapons from one hand to the other. 1. Start with a sword in your left hand. 2. Bring your right and left hand together so that you are not wielding the sword two-handed. (Free...

    Sustaining a power provokes OAs?

    I was just about to post an argument against this, when I went back to check the wording on the power. After re-reading the power text, I have to agree that this seems correct per RAW. I don't really agree with this, or think it "makes sense" but is does seem correct according to the rules.

    I hadn't thought of that actually, thanks for the idea. At this point I think finding editors to get all of the powers inserted is the most important. Once the powers are in, it should be easier to attract designers. Or at least that is my hope. I also want to work on the system for...

    D&D 4E Some Thoughts on 4e

    Also you may want to be careful using general terms like Arcane and Divine, unless you meant to include Wizard, Cleric, Paladin, Warlock and Swordmages (and Artificers?). Thats equal to half (or more) of the classes, depending on which books you are using.

    D&D 4E Some Thoughts on 4e

    The wizard feat expanded spellbook already allows the wizard to learn an additional daily at each level. You could just open this feat up to other classes, giving them some more flexibility but at the cost of feat (and needing 13 wis). Or if you still just want to give the casters all their...

    Need a little help

    What do you mean by 'cross mark'? Only one creature can mark a character at a time. However, creatures with reach could mark from the back line if they are able to attack people.
