    Starting level for one-shot introduction

    I'd say level 5. You get a decent selection of powers by then and you can toss them some magic items as you see fit. There's a chart in the DMG that has magic items listed for characters beyond level 1. Just my opinion though. And it's not like 5 is too far away from 7 or 8.

    The highest-damage fighter power is level 3?!

    I don't suppose anyone has sent in an email to CustServ to see what a rep has to say? Forgive my ignorance if Ari Marmell is in such a position to make such decisions. Ari's reply left me believing this was not true because Ari basically said so in one of the replies.

    Righteous Smite

    Is there a reason Righteous Smite( Paladin 3 ) is a healing keyword power when no other temporary hit point power I could find was healing? I suspect it is not actually meant to have the healing keyword, or else all other temporary hit point powers are healing powers ( I would figure the former)...

    Warlock At-Wills

    Baords locked up on me. Sorry if this is too late now. You get two at wills as a warlock. One is Eldritch Blast, the other is the one linked to whatever pact you selected.

    One Heart, One Mind

    The general rule is that powers break the general rules. So yes, normally the rule is +8, but the power changes the bonus from +2 to +4, and so 4 people helping at +4 = +16.

    Does teleportation negate falling damage?

    If you are surprised but fall longer then a round ( about 6 seconds? ) I would let them ready an action to teleport when they see the bottom. That doesn't mean the falling damage is negated, still in question, but I'd let them fire off the teleport in that circumstance.

    Question about being Slowed and Double Moving

    You do not have to double move if you move twice in a round. Double move is a specific move listed so that you may add your speed of both move actions together and use this larger move total to do things. This comes in useful if you are a non-elf and wish to shift into difficult terrain. You...

    One Heart, One Mind

    From my understanding up to 4 people are allowed to assist as written. 4 people at a 4 bonus = 16.

    Rangers and dual throwing weapons

    Once you throw something, it is a ranged weapon. So if he wants to use a ranged weapon power with them it's fine. If he wants to use a melee power with them it's fine. I don't have the wording of all the Ranger powers memorized but they usually say two melee or a ranged weapon if I recall ( on...

    D&D 4E Official Unofficial 4E Rules FAQ

    Lay on Hands says INSTEAD the target regains hit points as though they spent a healing surge. There is no denial of anything. The paladin did not spend a healing surge and gain hit points equal to their healing surge value. They spent a healing surge and a power gave them as many hit points as...

    D&D 4E 4e Tumble. How do you do that?

    The skills are laid out in the chapter named Skills in the PHB. There is no Tumble skill. The two closest things are acrobatic stunts ( which do not allow for avoiding OA's) and the Rogue utility power called Tumble. There are a variety of other powers that allow for movement on the...

    Dragonshield Tactics ( again, I know)

    Awesome, Nightchill. Thanks for that. I can't access the search function so finding it was not going to happen.

    What happens with reliable multi-target powers?

    Well, this very post is on both so I felt the need to reply here also since it was equally important.

    Coupe de Grace: auto hit?

    Niko, they do stack. What the people were talking about was an earlier response where someone said CA was granted ( +2) and then -7 to defense ( unconscious, prone). Prone actually grants CA to melee attackers and was already taken into account.

    What happens with reliable multi-target powers?

    Before this came up here or on the other boards we were having a discussion about the very same situation. We all know the difference between RAW and RAI. No need to be silly about it. I had already put something in the compiled errata post basically saying that the woring of reliable needed to...

    Dragonshield Tactics ( again, I know)

    I would love to see the clarification on this from the WotC rep if anyone could tell me where it was. This is not a " I don't see it, it didn't happen" post. I believe you all. I just wanted to see it for reference material. I still don't see why it couldn't interrupt a charge though, since...

    Collected Core Handbook Errata

    Reliant Keyword pg. 55 of the PHB " If you miss when using a reliable power, you don't expend the use of that power. " Should read as.... " A reliable power is not expended unless it hits. " Reasoning: A power like Thicket of Blades is reliable and attacks multiple targets. It is not...

    Dragonshield Tactics ( again, I know)

    That seems off to me because you were choosing to move to a specific place, not a vague random square, as your action.

    Dragonshield Tactics ( again, I know)

    Where does it say you can change your move action once you start it? I was looking more for something with a bit of backing that made sense.
