    D&D 4E [4e] Readied Slow vs. Double Move

    Yeah - if someone has moved two squares with his Walk action, and he's in an occupied square since he intends to keep moving, and then he gets hit with a Slow effect, he stops moving, and is shunted back to the last square he legally occupied. Now, if we assume that he still has an action...

    D&D 4E [4e] Readied Slow vs. Double Move

    Are you sure? "Add the speeds of the two move actions together and then move" makes it sound as though the decision of whether or not to take a double move must be made before the first square of movement is taken. And if you take one move action, complete it, and then decide whether or not...

    D&D 4E [4e] Readied Slow vs. Double Move

    Read Immediate Reactions again, specifically for their relationship to movement: Reaction: An immediate reaction lets you act in response to a trigger. The triggering action, event, or condition occurs and is completely resolved before you take your reaction, except that you can interrupt a...

    Multiple attacks, immediate reactions, and conditions

    Right, but Bravura Presence is based on any attack made as the result of an action point. Bravura Presence: When an ally who can see you spends an action point to take an extra action and uses the action to make an attack, the ally can choose to take advantage of this feature before the attack...

    Multiple attacks, immediate reactions, and conditions

    Well, this is where we hit the "definition of attack" issue again. Twin Strike Ranger Attack 1 Targets: One or two creatures Attack: Strength vs. AC (melee; main weapon and off-hand weapon) or Dexterity vs. AC (ranged), two attacks Hit: 1[W] damage per attack. So, Twin Strike is a Ranger...

    Multiple attacks, immediate reactions, and conditions

    So it's a "power that lets you make two attack rolls as a standard action", right? -Hyp.

    Multiple attacks, immediate reactions, and conditions

    I'm still stymied by the interaction with Thundertusk Boar Strike, though. Multiple primary attacks happen at the same time. But an immediate reaction to the first attack happens after the first attack (which happens at the same time as the second attack), but before the second attack (which...

    Multiple attacks, immediate reactions, and conditions

    Do you feel that p268 doesn't apply in this case? "If a monster has a power that lets it make two attack rolls against you as a standard action, and the first one hits, you can use an immediate reaction before the next attack roll." Let's say "a monster" in this case is a ranger with Twin...

    Multiple attacks, immediate reactions, and conditions

    There's a lot of room for confusion in here, I think. My understanding is that the Target entry is determined before the Attack entry begins. So Twin Strike is "One or two creatures" - you have to decide if you're attacking one or two creatures before you start rolling, and which creature(s)...

    Schroedinger's Wounding (Forked Thread: Disappointed in 4e)

    With a day of bed rest, he'd recover 8; 2 per level, doubled with assistance. -Hyp.

    Would you drop this player?

    Not in this case, though: "Help people I don't know, or take their things? No contest really." Perhaps, though it takes real talent to accidentally misinterpret "willing to risk personal harm to jump in and help a stranger in trouble" to the extent required to make the player's actions an...

    Schroedinger's Wounding (Forked Thread: Disappointed in 4e)

    So our 80 hit point fighter goes to 1 hit point, and takes 8 days of rest to recover full hit points. Or he goes to -1, stabilises, recovers, and takes 9 days of rest to recover full hit points. Our 2nd level wizard with 7 hit points goes to -1, and his buddy bandages him up and puts him to...

    Would you drop this player?

    There are heroic rogues. The class is not the problem. The DM requested the players to submit heroic characters. A heroic rogue, willing to risk personal harm to jump in and help a stranger in trouble? Step right up! A heroic warlock, willing to risk personal harm to jump in and help a...

    Schroedinger's Wounding (Forked Thread: Disappointed in 4e)

    So having low hit points and not being as effective in combat doesn't define the badly-wounded state either. So when is someone badly wounded in 3E? We can't say "3E allows for people to be badly wounded, but 4E does not" if we can't say when someone in 3E is badly wounded. -Hyp.

    Schroedinger's Wounding (Forked Thread: Disappointed in 4e)

    The wizard with 4 hit points and no remaining spells won't perform similarly in combat to the barbarian with 19 hit points. Is he badly wounded, by virtue of having expended his spells? -Hyp.

    Sustaining a power provokes OAs?

    And with Flaming Sphere, he already used the power during his turn, and in subsequent turns he's simply making the attacks that he's permitted by virtue of the fact that he used the power in the first turn. If the wizard can make an attack roll in round 2 without making an attack (if the attack...

    Sustaining a power provokes OAs?

    So does he get the bonus from Warlord's Favor on the attack roll, if he's not making an attack? -Hyp.

    Sustaining a power provokes OAs?

    Given that they say "It does not matter if the power gives you the ability to make ranged attacks directly rather than creating a conjuration that makes the attacks for you", I call Bollocks on "Freezing cloud does not give you another attack, just a way to deal more damage". "Another attack"...

    Sustaining a power provokes OAs?

    I already did. You then said that Freezing Cloud makes attacks, rather than the wizard making attacks. If that's true, and the wizard is not making those attacks, Burning Blizzard does not apply; White Raven Onslaught does not apply; Warlord's Favor does not apply. If the feat and those...

    I'm quite comfortable with the post in its existing form. -Hyp.
