The assumption in there is that counting around an obstacle precludes counting across the corner. Counting across the corner is not counting through the obstacle; how then is it not counting around the obstacle? The way you describe means that the distance from square A to square C can be...

See p219 of the PHB. [W] is the base damage of the weapon you're using. -Hyp.

Two-Blade Warrior is a multiclass feat, not paragon multiclassing. You can certainly have a multiclass feat and a paragon path - especially since a multiclass feat can be used to satisfy a class prerequisite of a paragon path! -Hyp.

Sure - I was posting what it was that was giving me the nagging memory. As far as contradicting the PHB goes, the PHB is irritatingly unclear given the difference in wording between p215 ("use as a two-handed weapon"), and p217 ("use two-handed"). To me, p217 reads that the weapon is still...

But if p268 is a separate rule, whether or not you're using the power is irrelevant, because you're not provoking under 'use a power', you're provoking under 'make an attack'. And if you distinguish between "the wizard attacks' and 'the cloud attacks', then you have cases like Spiritual Weapon...

Ah, here we go: So according to that, it's even more permissive than I realised - in the example, the longsword is considered a one-handed weapon and a two-handed weapon at the same time. -Hyp.

The conversation I had with CustServ came to a similar conclusion - their justification was that p268's "OAs are triggered by ranged attacks or area attacks" is a separate and different rule to p271's "ranged powers/area powers provoke OAs" and p290's "ranged powers/area powers provoke OAs"...

Like I said above, I think that the most natural reading of the rule is that while you're wielding it, the weapon is treated as an off-hand weapon. So it would benefit from anything that applies to an off-hand weapon. Hrmm. I thought I'd seen someone post an answer giving the opposite...

This comes back to the word 'directly'. I'd say that yes, someone can curve around the wall as long as each step brings them closer. Caliban would say no, someone can't curve around the wall, because they are not travelling in a straight line. Both of us would cite the word 'directly' as...

The damage applies the first time he makes an attack before the start of your next turn... as long as he's marked. If he's still marked next round, then "your next turn" is another round away. If he's still marked the round after that, then "your next turn" is another round away. He can only...

Exactly. See the illustration on PHB p281, where the Burst 2 counts diagonally across the corner. -Hyp.

No, it isn't. Because the distance from the banana to square b is 3, and the distance from square b to the monkey is 1, so the distance from the banana to the monkey is 4. You measure the most direct path. This doesn't violate the requirement that you count around a solid obstacle! I'm not...

No, it isn't. He doesn't need to move to the combatant. He needs to move to the nearest square from which he can attack the combatant. The distance we need to measure is the distance between the charger, and the nearest square from which he can attack the target. Not the distance between the...

The monkey needs to move directly to the nearest square from which he can attack the banana. That's square d. We're agreed on that, right? For the moment, we're assuming that "directly toward" means that each square of movement must bring him one square closer to the destination. We're...

We're not trying to reach the enemy. We're trying to reach the nearest square from which we can attack the enemy. So we're counting the distance between the nearest square from which the monkey can attack the banana (which is d), and the monkey. To determine the distance between square d and...

That wasn't a quote. The quote is "You can wield a one-handed weapon in your off hand as though it were an off-hand weapon." The permission line was one of the two ways that the quoted sentence could be read. I agree that if you read the sentence that way, the weapon is not considered an...

To count the distance from square d to another square, we start at an adjacent square (even if it's diagonally adjacent and around a corner). Not at square d. I already asked if you disputed that, and you said you didn't! -Hyp.

There are no corners between the starting point and the monkey. You're agreeing that the starting point for counting distance is square b, and then you're using square c as your starting point for counting distance. -Hyp.

It doesn't simply allow you to wield a one-handed weapon in your off hand; it allows you to wield a one-handed weapon in your off hand as though it were an off-hand weapon. An "off-hand weapon" is "a weapon with the off-hand keyword", so the feat grants me the ability to wield a one-handed...
