    Need advice making a great thief :)

    Gnome Assasin|Rogue Hybrid Talent Cunning Sneak/MC Warlock. Grab the At-Will Teleport utility at 10 with a powerswap. Hold a Staff of the Traveler in your off-hand, and buy teleport Enhancers. Can Hide at the end of any action that involves moving 3+ squares with only Cover/Concealment (not...

    Inherent bonuses and non-weapon attacks

    Again, no. The thing you're not understanding is this is not two powers. It is one power, just like Warden forms, that WotC formated as two in the CB/Compendium (which, again, is not a rules source). The actual power has Rogue Daily Attack 1 (so.. it has a level, and a class, and a title). There...

    Inherent bonuses and non-weapon attacks

    Um.. no. The source material has it with the weapon keyword. Source material is always correct. The CB/Compendium is not a rules source.

    PHB3 minotaur death blow

    ...Actually it wouldn't be all that difficult to have a Minotaur who got to use it every round they took damage after the monsters had gotten them low on their own. Can add in Stormhawk Vengeance while you're at it. It'd require a semi-specific leader to accompany it, but would still be a neat...

    D&D 5E (2014) What Should My Next Character Be?

    Tiefling Cunning Bard/Wizard/Resourceful Magician. You're now a Leader and a Controller (and a truly terrifying one, at that).

    Inherent bonuses and non-weapon attacks

    Um, Duelist's Prowess is a weapon attack, it has the weapon keyword. The stance doesn't, but if you go the source material the attack has the weapon keyword. In the CB/Compendium it is formatted as two separate powers, which is not how it is, so that might be the issue.

    Inherent bonuses and non-weapon attacks

    RAW, yes. Causes some minor issues with things that have built-in scaling. Just remove the scaling. So DB no longer gets 2/4/6 inherently, but does get Inherent bonuses. Also allowing Expertise to actually apply helps (unless the thing is already scaling at 3/6/9, then just reduce it to 1/2/3)...

    The skill DC chart has changed multiple times. So, yeah, just missing errata.

    PHB3 minotaur death blow

    The action is lost, not the trigger (the action that contains the trigger, specifically). And the hit doesn't happen because it doesn't resolve. It occurs, then you jump in, and the hit doesn't resolve. The rules are actually quite clear that there is a step between something happening and that...

    PHB3 minotaur death blow

    No, there aren't. The trigger always occurs, it just doesn't resolve. These are not the same thing. Defensive Interrupts that respond to damage cannot negate the hit, because the hit already happened.

    PHB3 minotaur death blow

    Doesn't interrupt the dying. Due to the wording of the attack sequence, once a hit happens you take the damage no matter what. You have to interrupt the hit (as Fighters with say, Shield Push do) to negate it. You're Interrupting the damage, which is still going to apply, you just get a free...

    Orc Archer - overpowered?

    So a Defender will have 22 AC at level 4. 4.83 average damage versus them. Melee Strikers should have 20, so 5.98 against them, and ranged characters should have 18, 7.13 against them. Those are the baselines in the Player's Strategy Guide, reality has slight variations. But we'll assume the...

    Untyped Ongoing Damage

    It says if you're taking multiple types of going damage (including no type), blah blah blah. So it says no type, or untyped, is a type of damage. So if you're taking multiple types of ongoing damage...... untyped is a type of damage you can be taking. Yeah, no contradiction here. Also the...

    Warden Build Suggestions

    Dwarf is actually the default choice for all four Warden builds. Second Wind as a minor/II is just to much optimization space, and at paragon+ the AC is identical for the Wis-secondary ones. Every since the flex stats on Dwarves. Other options are certainly strong, of course. But Dwarves might...

    Untyped Ongoing Damage

    It... doesn't contradict itself. O.o Untyped is a type of damage. So if someone is taking ongoing 10, untyped, and you give them ongoing 20, untyped, they are only taking ongoing 20, untyped. It even explicitly points out, on the page you referenced, that untyped damage is a type of damage...

    Wizard spellbook question

    FAQ for the Player's Handbook! 7 & 8. Compendium is not a rule source and usually does not have the complete text for rules. Don't trust it for anything that seems like it might involve details.

    Wizard spellbook question

    Spellbook is confusing. I'll go over this once. The level you learn the daily is important. If you pick two level 1 dailies as your level 5 "slot" then you can mem either of them as your "level 5 daily." Each time you gain two dailies, at the end of each extended rest, you can pick from either...

    On shfting and jumping

    Then it doesn't require a check and you can shift. Spiders on walls can Shift. Makes sense to me. It does come up every so often, there is an item that grants a Climb Speed one round/encounter that is relatively popular in LFR on low-athletics check characters. I see this question a fair...

    On shfting and jumping

    Doesn't work at all. Shift: Special Movement Modes: You can’t shift when using a form of movement that requires a skill check. For example, if you’re climbing or swimming, you can’t shift if you would need to make an Athletics check to use that kind of movement. You might find it useful to...
