No, it's very clear, only the bits in the parenthesis are examples, here, let take that bit out. "If another bonus causes you to roll extra damage dice when scoring a critical hit, those dice are rolled as normal." This is the only exception to maximising damage, since, as this PHB says, "Rather...

Lightning? nah, that's not going to come up much, Fire & cold, yeah, there are things you can do with that (lasting frost or hellfire blood) and resistances/vulnerabilities come up a bit. Lightning may never actually come up though.

Which isn't going to happen unless the OP replies, at least giving the character's level, and hopefully giving a breakdown of stats/feats/armour worn.

Most PC powers have this restriction, and I would recommend adding it if your making up your own powers/items/abilities, but there's certainly no general rule about it, no.

Okay, take a couple of breaths and think about it, why can characters only wear two magic rings, why can characters not wear a magic cloak and a magic amulet or necklace? Because that's just how the magic item slot system works. If you want an in world reason, then it's the same as the reason...

This is incorrect. Ongoing damage doesn't get extra damage from things like feats or magic items because they only apply to damage rolls, and/or on attacks/hits however vulnerability applies any time you take damage, which includes ongoing damage.

I don't have prophecy of doom in front of me, but since you can still only use one action point per encounter, getting extra ones isn't that big a deal.

There isn't one. The game is intended to be balanced for one, or 12 encounters in a day. (although the players might be in a bit of trouble if you try 12 encounters)

With the exception of the bolded part (teleportation is LoS, which is easily blocked), this is right, the game does not truly distinguish between magical and non-magical attacks, thus the easiest way to figure this stuff out is to ask if a fighter would be able to punch, or a rogue with a hidden...

A 16 in your base attack stat is completely playable, yes.

As has been pointed out, powers which are obviously based on physical force tend to be limited by size, in an ideal world, if the power isn't limited, that means it's not based on physical force. Unfortunately, I believe this is rule is broken regularly, certainly not all monster powers follow...

More feats, lots more feats. Of course even an absurd amount of feats doesn't take up that much space.

In fact, I would argue that this is the reason Reaping strike is less than exceptional at high levels, the damage as a percentage of your weapon damage only goes from a bit over 30 to a bit under 30, but if you're using a two handed weapon Maul does seem to be the best choice, so for the...

Actually, if there was any update I expect, it would be more like this The default in 4e is pretty much "it doesn't stack", not the other way around, as anyone who wanted to use a greataxe can tell you.

http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/drfe/20080801a I haven't read all of it, but I found the more general parts about Eladrin law and order or society to be more interesting than the specifics of the City. Contains Fighter powers, Wizard powers, Eladrin feats, some magic items and a dex...

Except they "stack". And it's not so much that toughness is much better, so much as for some reason racial feats don't scale by tier, which is pretty stupid, yeah.

The game doesn't really say getting tied up stops you from casting magic missile, but it doesn't say it stops you from punching people either, there's also very little to differentiate Implement and Weapon powers, they generally get the same penalties and bonuses (like CA, blind, etc.), thus it...

I believe there was a designer post which said it was an aura, that it worked like magic circle against evil in 3.x, not like mass bulls strength. I can't be bothered finding it though, sorry.

Really? From what I've seen fighting large amounts of weaker monsters is a lot more dangerous than Fighting the same xp worth of higher level monsters, simply because even if attack bonus goes up quite quickly, damage goes up relatively slowly.

It means the Warlock does even less damage, and possibly the Wizard too. The ranger, Rogue and Fighter are not affected. Bolstering Blood only works with Wizard Encounter powers.
