Shadow Evocation Mystery in Tome of Magic P.149 says, And the original spell version of Shadow Evocation, So, it seems that both the mystery version and the spell version mimic an evocation spell of 4th level or lower. If so, what was the intention of the second sentence of mystery version...

Battlemagic Perception spell from Heroes of Battle says, At first glance this spell seems wonderful. But I noticed one thing. AFAIK, unless otherwise noted, a character/creature can take free actions only during one's turn. The only exceptions are speaking (per PHB 114), spells like Feather...

Is there some nice template which is applicable to golem? I know there is a template which changes a construct into real living creature, but that is not what I want. I want something which improves the strength or versatility of a golem without changing size category. Something like...

AFAIK Scarlet Brotherhood is a bunch of xenophobias which consider whiter-kind skins and blonde hair are the evidence of "pure" suel descendants. So some were calling them as Kung-fu Nazis. Maybe they are largely influenced by Hydra and Red Skull from Captain America indeed. That is why I...

Is there some cultural model for ancient Suel empire? I mean, ancient-Roman-like, Byzantine-Like, Francia-like, and such. I am wondering which European language or culture should I reference when, say, name some Suel wizard nobles.

In 5e, an encounter against many low-CR enemies are considered to be (and usually, actually) much deadlier than an encounter against single or small number of higher CR monsters. Also, PCs gain much less XPs from encounters against many low-CR enemies, though the encounter itself is deadly. So...

The original Aspect of Lolth is only CR 11 as she is just a simple melee monster and does not cast spells nor has spell-like ability. In regard to SR, I have increased her SR to 29 as I have advanced her by 4HDs.

Aspect of Lolth (Miniatures Handbook) is a relatively simple melee monster with 14 outsider HDs, DR 5/Epic, SR 25 & only one poisonous bite attack at +18. Now I am bumping her up to 18HDs, make her huge, and let she cast spells as a 18th-level cleric. The rough result will be, AC 23 (touch 11...

Fiery Blood feat says (from Insider), Assuming my PC has this feat and Resist Fire, if an enemy inflicts some amount of fire damage but his resistance is high enough to reduce the amount to 0, is he still considered to "take fire damage from an attack" or not?

I guess that is Wand Bracelet from Magic Item Compendium. Unfortunately, a wereshark in shark form cannot wear a bracelet. It seems that I have to make up something by myself.

A wereshark in shark form cannot carry any weapon as he has no arms at all. Wereshark in hybrid form can use weapon as he has arms, but he loses his swim speed (and aquatic subtype?). Now, assuming a wereshark enjoy altering between those 2 forms and want to use a weapon in his hybrid form, are...

Now my playgroup (which I am not the DM) is creating PCs for the next 4e campaign and a player brought up this question. The warlock's curse is updated and the frequency of the extra damage is changed from once per round to once per turn. Now the DDI Compendium says, And Astral Ascendant...

IIRC at some point WotC FAQ said that even if damages from those marks killed the enemy, that enemy's attack is still solved. Then, Divine Challenge got an errata when Essentials line were published. At this moment the Insider says, Until the mark ends, the target takes radiant damage the...

Isn't that B? I mean, if the original choice was fire, now his dragon breath power can inflict "Fire and Radiant" damage. And, another question regarding the choice of damage type for Draconic Blade feature. Should the choice be done once and only once when a PC acquires this feature? Or can...

Thanks. Now I can use the Insider again.

I have questions regarding a feat and a paragon path feature. Radiant Breath feat says, Which is correct? A) I can change the damage type of the Dragon Breath into radiant instead of original damage type. B) I can change the damage type of the Dragon Breath into XX and Radiant (say, Fire and...

I know resistance/immunity against Fire and Poison are quite common among monsters. Thus it is not such a good idea to relying on such damage types unless the PC has some class feature to compensate (say, ignore resistance and such). But how about vulnerability and particular weakness, such as...

Thank you for a lot of good suggestions. While this feat is good, It is rather annoying for me to let a human PC worship Corellon (he is always the elven god for me) or rather-primitive character worshiping Ioun. Fortunately, the campaign involves inter-planar rifts and DM says a PC may come...

I meant to attend a 11th-level 4e short campaign in this November. And here is a 5th-level PC I played years ago. And thinking about leveling up this PC into 11th. Would you please give me some suggestions and ideas to level-up this PC into 11th? Say, which Paragon Path (or maybe Paragon...

Shall I use an opposed attack roll when a monster tries to sunder an animated shield of a PC? Or shall I use object AC rule (10 + its size modifier + the Dexterity modifier of the carrying or wearing character) instead? If the latter, how much should be the size of shields (small, large...
