[shrug] There's a difference between game mechanics, and cinematic description of the events that occur in the game world. Cinematic description: Tordek slams his warhammer into the orc's breastplate. Mechanical description: A Hit that deals damage. Mechanical description: A Miss that deals...

Right. There's some discussion on Spirit of Healing here. -Hyp.

Clarifying for Colosimus - But only on the target. The additional adjacent enemy may take damage, but he is not subject to anything that requires a Hit (or, indeed, an attack). For example, a Fighter is fighting an Elf Scout and an Elf Archer. He attacks the Elf Scout with Cleave, and Hits...

I think it's confusion with the Fey Knight power, which marks until the end of the encounter (and thus ends with a short rest). -Hyp.

The Special line is part of the power, but it's overridden by the condition laid down in the feat - you can use the power once per day. What happens when you use Healing Word? The target can spend a Healing Surge, +1d6. So what can you do once per day? Make the target spend a Healing Surge...

I'm looking at the Character Builder screenshot he posted, and I don't see his point. The feat says "You can use the power once per day", then shows the stat block of the power, which has the Special line, "You can use the power twice per encounter". It's pretty clear from what appears in the...

Based on...? Once "the combatants on one side are captured, fleeing, unconscious, or dead", you can take a short rest. If the Fey Knight is running away or unconscious, then "the combatants on one side are captured, fleeing, unconscious, or dead", and you meet the requirement for taking a rest...

You can't undertake strenuous activity during your short rest. But once you're taking the rest, you're no longer taking damage because the power has expired, so it never occurs during the rest. Damage taken during the short rest might interrupt the short rest, but once you're taking the rest...

If it was at the end, then saying "when you take a rest (short or extended) or after 5 minutes" would be pointless, because you can never reach the end of a rest without 5 minutes having expired. Also, from the Combat Sequence, "7. End the encounter. Repeat steps 5 and 6 until the the...

There are only two left!? -Hyp.

Conditional Durations: These effects last until a specified event occurs. Until the End of the Encounter: The effect ends when you take a rest (short or extended) or after 5 minutes. "And the fey knight is unconscious." "Hooray!" "Take 4 damage." "Oh, right. We take a short rest." As soon as...

I2K is not disputing that your turn ends. He's drawing a distinction between "then end of your turn occurs" and "you end your turn". Your turn will end regardless of your intention. But I2K is suggesting that "you end your turn" is something that requires intent on the part of the character...

Except it isn't impossible. Let's say I start one square south of the orc. I'm adjacent - he's within range of Melee Weapon, and therefore a valid target. I activate the power, and move two squares - one west, one north, provoking an OA - and attack the orc, who is still within range of Melee...

Sure, but it's not given that he's adjacent when he delays. Let's say he challenged and attacked last turn, and on the enemy's turn, the enemy shifted away. The paladin's turn comes up, but the Warlord says "Dude, if you delay 'til after my turn, I can give you a +6!" The paladin delays...

So you're saying that your turn can end without you ending it? I would have thought that "You end your turn adjacent" and "You are adjacent at the end of your turn" were pretty synonymous, myself. And we know from the PHB that "The end of your turn always takes place, even if you’re...

You move before the attack; you don't move before you begin resolving the power. -Hyp.

So I can activate the power and begin to resolve it even though I do not satisfy the Target requirements of the power when I start to do so? -Hyp.

I'm a dazed Rogue with a rapier. ------- |.....| |.@..o| |.....| #### |.....+#### ------- Can I use Deft Strike to attack the orc? -Hyp.

I had this come up in my game. The Fighter was adjacent to a velociraptor, and he said "I'm gonna punch it in the face - instead of dealing damage, can I daze it for a round?" "Sure," I said, "give me a Str attack against Fort." He rolled a 20. Punching a velociraptor in the face was already...
