no, but according to 4e rules, prone does in fact mean lying on the ground, and I think the rule implies back, face or any other part - up

well, I can't help you if all you want is to not have any negative affects or consequences from anything. Why not home brew a rule that standing is a free action for your character? or maybe a rule that you get two moves every round instead of one, or, maybe you could find a little green...

i see first it was "I can't attack" now its "I can't attack good enough" there are powers that allow a shift-then-attack into the fray inexorable shift nimble strike nimble blade and I stopped looking

well, the reason I ask is it would seem if a player is hitting less often he is dealing less dmg/rd and apparently the monsters deal less dmg/rd thats all Again, I am a bit nervous about the future of our game, since we are still in the lower heroic tier I was able to hand the pc's their hats...

I still don't understand why you cant use a range attack?

I asked this in another thread, but it seems more appropriate here if you need a feat tax to keep hitting as a pc and you need mm3 monsters to keep doing damage couldnt you 86 both of them and still be ok??????

this is just fun to argue this, as I have said before, it really isn't that big of a deal, but I do like to plead my case, so here goes Snakes are in fact always (always being relative) on their bellies. Humans are not so often found in that position, and seldom do you see a human fighting from...

my limited brain capacity is at critical mass so...the player math is off, so they came out with expertise (? right?) to make it better/easier to hit.... then the monsters didn't do enough damage, so they had to "elevated". I might be WAY off, but it almost sounds like they could have left...

ok, I can look up rules too In the players handbook it clearly states that when prone you grant CA in melee, you get +2 to ranged defenses, you take -2 to all attacks...AND YOU ARE LYING ON THE GROUND. It isn't just some common sense, or webster's definition, it's actually in the rule, and by...

It seems the real basis for this argument is do powers work infallibly or can they, in certain situations, be thwarted. Obviously I am in the camp of "occasional thwartation" I am certain this is not the only scenario like this, either. In fact, it owuld not surprise me to find hundreds of...

does the mongoose punch the snake or use its 'quick flip power' :lol: so you disagree about the prone rule, but you agree that rules arent the be all end all of the game...interesting

again, we are life long early edition players just starting out in 4e (we are 3rd level) but we are all having a blast. My second night with the pencil last night and it went great, my first time running a combat encounter, went real smooth, one player went off by himself, he was the only one...

thanks! it's about time I did

ok, I am going to try one last time to "plead my case" if you (a player) say "I am going to punch the snake" - I (the dm) would first roll my eyes, but then say "whatever dude, go ahead" - the player would roll and tell his 'number' vs the app. defense and I would say (for argument sake) "ok...

thanks like I said, the original attack in question was a punch

I wanna say that in all this argument about the prone rule that I am only defending my interpretation - not attacking anyone's game or rules or style of play. Barastrondo - that would be a very interesting description of how the fighter grabs the snake behind the head and lifts it up into the...

no need for name calling

I'm a little shocked to learn there are no other powers that equal the rogue's 1st level at-will "deft strike" - I would have thought that all the strikers would have a power like this.

have you ever seen someone punch a snake in a manner that flips the snake into the air so that it lands on its back?

I agree As i said in a post about this earlier, if I were the DM, I am sure any of the players would not even try this without questioning "hey, its on the ground already, can I knock it prone???"
