So your argument is "this gets excepted but this doesn't because that 'makes sense'" and I'm the one picking and choosing? Yeah, no. All PG does is allow you to make an OA with a new trigger. The OA, now, doesn't actually do anything because you can't pick a legal target. It in no way changes...

That would imply that the person using the power is the dominator, which would be wrong. If a Warlord grants an MBA to an ally, who is doing the MBA? If your answer was "the ally" then you are correct. So your premise is incorrect, your argument is wrong. That definition only applies to...

If that were true you could make a PG attack with a Polearm that lacked Reach. It isn't, you can't. You need to meet the standard requirements, PG makes no exception for that. All it says is you can make an OA. OK... I make an OA, isn't a legal target, I'm done. That is the RAW order of events...

Draco, no, they don't. This is like the argument that PG provokes from Shifting/Forced movement. Being a specific rule is insufficient, it has to specifically overrride the general rule. PG does not, in any way, override the general OA power. Therefore, by RAW, it doesn't work. This is an error...

Tailor encounters to their strengths. Fighters are good at locking down opponents in melee. Wizards are good at annihilating/locking down large groups of enemies. Have them start on a balcony overlooking the evil ritual chamber. They blow their stealth check and are discovered! There is only...

Uh, yes it is. "Enemy: An Opponent of the Power's User." RC, under targeting. Dominate specifically says your allies and enemies don't change while Dominated. Done.

Needs to be "Range Weapon or Melee Touch" to account for natural reach. Then it'd work fine.

The majority of the RC has not yet been incorporated to the Compendium (and indeed some entries that say they reference the RC in fact don't). Giving Wizards to much credit I'm afraid. ;)

Whoops! Browser Settings Incompatible Generate a minimum of two extra MBAs per round. Optimize said MBAs (Headsmans Chop/Moonstalker/eClass) and you get the damage output of 2 extra PCs. In a four person party, that is a 50% increase. Minimum you're looking at ~30%. You might not get it on the...

Ranged utilities can provoke OAs. Any Ranged or Area ability provokes an OA when used if in provoke range obviously. But Spectral Fade is a Personal utility, so it does not provoke OAs. You were Invisible, so you would not have provoked an OA (Barring Blindsight, Tremorsense, Truesight, etc.,)

No, it only specifies the provoke range, it doesn't modify the attack range (or the target range, more on that in a second). Also it means Polearm Gamble and around four dozen player powers no longer work as intended (or at all, in some cases). But hey, whose counting? But wait, you might...

Eh... fortune cards can be something like a 50% increase in party damage on a round-to-round basis. I concede this requires rares, but it is going to be reasonably lolworthy at official con-delves that just get destroyed by properly built decks. Given the large amount of public, sanctioned...

It is worth noting that there is a small issue with OA's at the moment by RAW. They aren't MBAs anymore, but there is actually a power called "Opportunity Attack." The problem is it has a range of Melee 1.... and therefore Threatening Reach doesn't work by RAW atm, because while the provoking...

Not usually, a guy walking around with a long sword usually has some training in how not to hurt people with it (speaking as someone who has done fencing, SCA, and Kendo the first thing you learn is how not to hurt other people). He might kill you on purpose, not so much on accident. Bar fight...

You know how many people die in bar fights every year? Less lethal is not how I would categorize them. Also sounds like a good time to employ the damage expression chart and the DC by level chart. If you want a fist fight, just make it up (perhaps for each successful attack an endurance check...

And 50% is too low according to the extensive play-testing by the developers. 55% minimum for a 16 starting stat was their goal. Which they achieved.... with Expertise. The level-by-level breakdown just enforces this point, starting with 60% with an 18 in a stat (which is 55% with a 16) is the...

Was said at Gencon in 2008. They said they'd balanced the game around a 50% chance to hit, but found it didn't work because if you missed with Encounter/Daily powers fights ended up taking longer then they wanted, so they made it closer to 55% minimum with primary stat at 16 (3 stat+2 weapon...

Facts? 1. Nearly every 4e developer gives out Expertise in their home games, or did pre-essentials. Barring games played specifically for play-testing purposes. You can dig up this info from developer posts on Enworld, the official forums, podcasts, and twitters. A single developer's game is...

Actually according to the math you should hit 99% of the time, because that is how Avenger math works out. Hyper-accuracy is the Avenger Striker Feature.

The developers disagree with you. /shrug. And all of those things mentioned are just as available at the -4, they don't fix it in any way.
