Is PHB p55 considered declarative: For instance, a power that deals acid damage is an acid effect and thus has the acid keyword. ...? Or is there an assumed 'generally' or 'should' in there - as in, "When we designed the PHB powers, we gave all the ones that dealt acid damage the acid keyword...

You're quoting PHB p268, but that's not the only relevant page. PHB p271: Provoke Opportunity Attacks: If you use a ranged power while adjacent to an enemy, that enemy can make an opportunity attack against you. PHB p271: Provoke Opportunity Attacks: If you use an area power while adjacent to...

Let's say we have a power that lets me make a ranged attack, move two squares, and make another ranged attack. (I'm sure there probably is one, but I can't be bothered hunting for it right now :) ) And let's say I'm within the threatening reach of a Boneclaw, with its Relentless Opportunist...

Absolutely. When you use the Ranged Power, you are adjacent. Then you shift 1, and make a Ranged Attack. The Shift occurs before the attack, but not before the use of the power. That wasn't the most recent argument along those lines, though - the more recent was whether a power like Deft...

Crucial is the word 'use', I think. It's not "Ranged powers provoke"; it's "If you use a ranged power in a square adjacent..." So a ranged power only provokes if you're adjacent to an enemy when you use it. When, over the course of a power's resolution, does one 'use a ranged power'? Let's...

Of course, the rules aren't always consistent in this respect. For example, the rules state "Any magic light thrown or heavy thrown weapon automatically returns to its wielder’s hand after a ranged attack with the weapon is resolved." This question appears in the FAQ: "I am using a magical...

Not quite. -Hyp.

The general rule is "You get a standard, a move, and a minor action each round". Use of an action point is an exception to the general rule. The Dazed condition is an exception to the general rule. Which is the more important exception isn't clear. I think part of my inclination towards...

I think the argument is not "You cannot spend an Action Point while Dazed", so much as "Spending an Action Point while Dazed is of no benefit" - that is, the argument is whether the limitation of "You can take either a standard action, a move action, or a minor action on your turn" trumps the...

In a 3E game, our Cleric jumped off a staircase to get behind an enemy... and found he'd dropped into a room with half a dozen hobgoblins in it. He was surrounded and down to about 6 hit points... but the hobgoblins only had 5. We convinced him that his best option was to cast Sound Burst...

You can't, unless you're fortuitously adjacent. -Hyp.

And impose conditions that must be met. DC has a target, and references "a different target". A different target is a target different to the target of the power. -Hyp.

Let's say I have a hypothetical power, Iterative Strike. Target: One creature. Hit: Deal X damage, and make a secondary attack. Secondary Target: A different creature. Secondary Hit: Deal Y damage. I'm facing Orc A and Orc B. I use Iterative Strike; I hit Orc A (one creature), and make my...

Different from what? The target of the Divine Challenge power is "one creature in burst". Each time you use the power, 'the target' is the 'one creature in burst' you select when you use the power. 'A different target' is a target which is not the 'one creature in burst' you select when you...

Looks right. He satisfied the condition of the original challenge by challenging a different target (also by attacking the original target), and he satisfied the condition of the new challenge by engaging the new target. -Hyp.

Did the event "You challenged a target different to Target A" occur during your turn? Yes, it did. Therefore Challenge A is satisfied. Did the event "You challenged a target different to Target B" occur during your turn? No, it didn't. Therefore Challenge B is not satisfied unless you...

Not every single round. Remember, "The target remains marked until you use this power against another target, or if you fail to engage the target". Round 1: I Challenge Orc A (minor action), and engage him (probably move + standard). Round 2: I engage Orc A (standard action attack), and have...

There's an assumption that I've used in the first five scenarios, where you've said "I have Divine Challenged an orc in the previous round who is five squares away." The assumption is that you have engaged that orc in the previous round - either you attacked him or were adjacent to him at the...

At the start of your turn, one of three things must happen before the end of your turn: A1: Challenge someone other than Orc A A2: Attack Orc A A3: End your turn adjacent to Orc A. Once you Challenge Orc B, you have satisfied A1. But because you have just used the Divine Challenge power on Orc...

That's a Bad Idea if you aren't adjacent. It gains you nothing, and it loses you something. -Hyp.
