Why use second wind in between encounters when you can just spend as many healing surges as you like during short rests?

According to some of the logic presented here, though, you would only be able to curse yourself. Congrats if it works, though.

No, he's not. You've made a leap between real-world definitions and D&D technicalities. A suicidal D&D character is still not considered an enemy to themselves for the purposes of determining how powers work. That's all. And let's not get into discussions about someone commiting suicide in D&D...

Well, I don't think it's an unreasonable point to make. D&D Q&A should address everyone, not just those who see the "obvious" workarounds.

Also there's the occasional non-leader power that allows them, e.g., Comeback Strike.

It'd make a warlord's job a heck of a lot more difficult. I don't know about clerics, but I play a warlord in a 4-person game with a rogue, warlock, and wizard. One of the first things I and the Rogue try to do is to pair up our initiative orders correctly so that I go directly before him. That...

Well, from a programming point of view, "and" indicates that BOTH must occur. It's not "or," which no one is implying, or "and/or," which seems to be the the case you're implying. A and B = both must occur or none occur. A or B = either, but not both, occur. A and/or B = both can happen; either...

Fair enough, but the point of my idea wasn't an undead state for someone who committed suicide. The point is to have an undead whose intestines snake out and attack at a distance. Just imagine the cold, wet organ wrapping around your face (and then trying to eat your face through the intestines)...

I'm not so sure that's the issue here. After all, if a warlord grants a MBA to a two-weapon ranger, then their attacks are going to be pretty nice, too. Then there's the case I've run into plenty: Rogue misses, Warlord uses an attack to grant them a MBA, and the real damage is in sneak attack...

Seppukursed Zombies of people who saw their impending doom and committed seppuku (suicide by stomach cutting, for those unfamiliar). Their intestines lash out, trying to absorb living flesh directly. Don't have any stats, but I figure they should have a reach weapon and maybe some close blast...

True... too bad grabbing someone doesn't restrain them, it just immobilizes them, though...

Good to know, and I was considering getting a parrying dagger plus those feats. I guess I'm just concerned about my melee basic attacks, and less concerned about damage than hitting (since I can easily get combat advantage for sneak attack). I can avoid it, especially if someone else in the...

I've been seeing a lot of discussion of the double sword as both heavy and light blade. I'd invite you to take a look at the picture of it in the AV. For those without access, it looks similar to the "swords" used by elves in the Lord of the Rings movie when initially fighting Sauron, before...

Actually, it's part of the Halfling Quickblade PP in Martial Power... There's a daily stance that allows me to make melee basic attacks when an OA misses me. I'm considering going with Daggermaster instead, but I have to admit that I really like the flavor of the Quickblade.

Hmm... not sure why I thought Shield proficiency was Con based... I'm planning on putting 14 in Str anyway, so I might be able to focus on that. However, that means I won't be able to get any of the Two-Weapon feats, either... Ah, decisions, decisions... To be honest, I'm only putting it in...

Ah, good to see some math on this. Thanks. And I'm no math whiz, but I assume the damage doesn't really improve at later tiers?

1) I know Rogues have comparatively high attack bonuses once everything adds up. Do the benefits of taking Power Attack outweigh the costs in their case? 2) I'm interested in making a halfling quickblade (MP Paragon Path, page 94). I like the idea of the stance they get, but I'm curious about...

Hmm... brainstorming here... How about, if you use prime shot, you can also designate/curse one of the attacked targets as part of the attack action?

Considering that Warlocks get the same feature, it might be more appealing to leave the rules for determining Prime Shot the same and tweak the benefits for getting it. Perhaps a series of feats that increase the power of prime shot that are specific to class and class feature selection?

This. Congrats, Plane Sailing and Nifft, I've just adopted these as a house rules!
