Many DMs that I have talked to seem to have a problem with letting go of old game philosophy and realizing this is a new game where the monsters and encounter system is designed around the assumptions that players have a certain amount of usable gear. I like the direction you are taking for it...

28 point buy is VERY overpowered. It allows for PC's that are far more powerful then intended for the monster design. You should probably reign these characters in for an overhaul and fix them for 22 point buy system. The PC's will still come out on top in most encounters, but you will see far...

Ziana quoted the exact rules on this. Squares adjacent to the origin are counted without using the "follow the corner" rule. So since the burst is adjacent to the corner, that corner is counted as 1 space away, but the burst is not adjacent to the other corner, so the distance is counted around...

I second the hexes idea. It really does make so much more sense. I've brought it up in the past to some of my groups but it never seems to go well.

The compulsion part of the power isn't flavor text at all. It's a full blown part of the power added in so that people know that it doesn't matter if the target can't understand word that the paladin said.

I have several things to add or repeat. A) First off, as I expressed along ago, I know what the writers intended, and do not believe it is anything but square shaped blasts. RAI is different then RAW though, and we are simply discussing how it is worked by the letter, and not how it is supposed...

It would be almost too good without the + 1 perception bonus.

I don't think rituals should be free. Just answering the OP, sorry for sidetracking the sidetracked conversation.

It's all good Ziana. It's not like KarinsDad doesn't know it's not intended and even really arguing that it be allowed in games. We were simply debating if it was allowed by RAW. At least I think this is the case. Sorry if I put words in your mouth KarinsDad.

Considering all the line of sight effects I wouldn't be surprised if jails were made with no LOS out of them for prisoners. At least if a jail was meant to hold dangerous prisoners and not just mundane ones.

Yeah, I totally forgot that you couldn't even hope to remark the target on the same turn.

Side isn't limited to just the outside of any given geometric figure in question. There's more to the definition of side then just the outside of it. None of these sides can be longer then three squares. If it was limited to only the outside I would agree.

Right but if you only do the damage once, keeping the same target marked isn't worth it so you need to shift the mark to another target and then back to the target you want to take damage, if you support the " damage stops after first round " reading.

Unless you read the "also" connector as showing that the damage portion of Divine Challenge also lasts from as long as the target is marked. The first attack before end of next round lets you know what attack is affected by the damage portion of the challenge. The challenge itself stays up as...

In regards to Zurai, maybe you still have to roll against each effect separately, and they say (save ends both) because a save to each effect will end both effects and they felt Stunned (save ends) and Immobilized ( save ends) was too redundant. That's the only logical reason I can think of...

Oh wow, VERY good catch Knizia. I think many of us agree that the power is supposed to be possibly maintained from round to round on a single target but this would make it pretty rotten since it would require two opponents AND 2 minor actions to keep the challenge going on one target. And of...

Since people are twisting the intent of the blast shape, I suppose twisting has to be done a bit more to get them to see the light. The following is the definition of side. Side - one of the surfaces forming the outside of or bounding a thing, or one of the lines bounding a geometric figure...

Don't forget how potent powers can be that include movement as part of the attack. We all know that attacking makes you lose CA if you had it. But if you had CA before the attack, the attack benefits from it. So a move like Deft Strike is rather useful because as part of the attack you could...

I'm down with agreeing to disagree. Heh. Though I need to ask, when you use the term infinitely apply the damage, you do mean once per encounter still, correct, to one target? I didn't miss something when the challenge could be re-applied more then once per encounter by a character multi...

No, I didn't claim that low light in 3rd edition ( a different game I might add, so the effects of low light vision there really aren't relevant ) was imbalanced. If people said, oh, low light vision should let you see invisible creatures ( gave it a benefit far more potent then intended) I...
