I find that to be a really odd ruling because temporary hit points are definitely not real hit points. So once something is down ( zero hit points) it is dead ( or unconscious as the attacker so chooses). You need to have more then 0 hit points to be conscious. I do agree wholeheartedly with...

Ray of Frost isn't part of an effect that remains in effect though. There's nothing in the power that suggests it even. The divine challenge remains in effect. The reason Divine Challenge continues the damage is because it says while it is marked apply this effect. Also apply this other effect...

I think a good balance to satisfy people who love to randomize loot, and the game's intent of characters getting useful loot would be reduce the treasure parcel you want to give them to the raw gold value. Once youd o that, randomly generate the treasure as you see fit. If you want to do half...

Making low light vision have double the intended vision range is a huge benefit. I don't know how to explain that except as what it is. It's not meant to be that big of an advantage. It's meant when there is only dim light that you can see clearly in that dim light. Dim light is supposed to be...

I don't see why that wouldn't work, James. When a turn goes by, it becomes the current turn and you have a new next turn during which the divine challenge is still active. It doesn't say only the mark is active. "Also" attaches the first and second parts of the challenge together. The effect is...

Each turn it is marked it is under the effect of divine challenge. It states that in the power. The first time clause is in reference to your next turn. When you next turn arrives, the "timer" is reset because it is the current turn, and you have a new turn that will be next. The reason the...

A 3 square by 3 square area is 9 squares. The second shape shown in the attached file above is more then the 3 square by 3 square areas shown in the PHB as the amount of area covered. This is just a misunderstanding of how the blast area works.

The way it reads, as long as you keep it marked, it will continue to take the damage if it doesn't meet the requirements to not do so. The power says the target is marked and remains marked unless you challenge a new target or you fail to engage the marked target. ( Though naturally if someone...

I think it's a good house rule, but under different light rules. The light sources are set for specific reasons, and if anything they have already taken into account that the light fades. There's no fading light rule though because they went for simplifying things. But if they were going to have...

Cdr brought up a fantastic point that I had missed. The enemy can just ready an action to attack the warlock/paladin when he can see him ( which would be at the start of the paladin's turn ).

This is legal as long as the warlock/paladin follows the rules. First off he needs to make stealth checks every round. If he moves more then 2 squares these checks receive a -5 penalty. The enemy's passive perception is the dc. Second, eyebite needs to hit each round, or else the paladin is...

Archer's Glory does say that you MUST spend it before the end of your next turn. If you don't spend it you are not following the rules. That being said, the power doesn't say that this action point won't count as your 1/encounter point, so I think if you used one before this power, this power...

Basic attacks are technically powers also, so you still are using a power. However you are usually better off using one of your class powers then a basic attack.

It's a very good feat. When an ALLY or enemy spends an action point to do something you get a free move action outside of the normal turn order. Party members should be spending action points pretty regularly.

That gives wizards an unintended advantage. The amount of versatility they are given already is a large boon. I don't see a reason to change it.

So players wouldn't be instant killed while they slept? That doesn't sound very fun to me.

"Divine Miracle (30th level): When you have expended your last remaining encounter power, you regain the use of one encounter power of your choice. In this way, you never run out of encounter powers." I don't see you running out of Elvish Accuracy then since it says in Divine Miracle that you...

4th Edition is an exception based system. If a rule, power, or ability doesn't say it changes or modifies a rule, then the rule remains unchanged. I, like many of the other posters, saw nothing ambiguous about the wording because there was nothing in the rule that said the effect happened on the...

Thanks Incendax.

Looks legal. Could someone direct me to a thread where this has been discussed? It seems to give frost weapons an unintended edge over other elemental weapons. I'd find it myself but no searchy searchy.
