    Does the term "a creature" include yourself?

    Wow Draco, I usually just give up when people are obstinate. Nice post.

    Using a readied action to double up sneak attacks. How acceptable? How palateable?

    Low Slash (Sneak Attack) > AP (Gain Second use of SA) > Standard (Sneak Attack) > Ready Action > Not your Turn (Sneak Attack). Doing it twice is possible by default since Rogues have Minor Action attacks (Snap Shot for Ranged Rogues), Slaying Action just adds yet another chance. Worth noting...

    Disciple of Justice question

    Well, actually "the hit points" means not only your surge value, but any benefits you get to surge value (for instance if you add additional healing on Second Wind from an item, feat, etc.,). Paladin's have the ability to use their SV for Lay On Hands, isn't an unprecedented mechanic.

    Using a readied action to double up sneak attacks. How acceptable? How palateable?

    Well, actually you can do it every fight if you hit. Low Slash (Minor Action) Ready (Standard). It really doesn't add much though, and is a pain.

    Using a readied action to double up sneak attacks. How acceptable? How palateable?

    Trying to mechanic your way out of letting someone do this is pointless. Speaking is a Free Action. "I ready an action to do xyx when I say 'Go.'" Occurs in game, is a valid trigger, can be done w/e the player wants (and is actually a good trigger, if the NPC Minions all ready to charge to...

    Using a readied action to double up sneak attacks. How acceptable? How palateable?

    RAW, works fine. I've seen it in LFR games, where the DM is restricted to RAW. If you didn't like it in a home game I wouldn't address it from a rules perspective, but from a "fun" perspective of the group.

    Ancient Soul Feat Question

    Arkhosian Rod. Had it partly right. And nope, doesn't overlap. Arkhosian Rod adds the +hit as well (Ninefold is only damage). So you have something that 1.) has a built-in +6, and 2.) Still gets +6 Enhance to hit. Getting it to benefit from Expertise is a separate trick (Draconic...

    Does the term "a creature" include yourself?

    All 106 says is, literally, a "Creature is a Creature", which is super-helpful, and "If an attack targets a creature that attack does not distinguish between Friend and Foe." So if the target is "A Creature" you can target yourself, because you're a creature and you're not distinguishing...

    Question about Melee Training

    Well, for his MBA, but since a lot of eClasses use MBA as 99% of their attacks... sure. Just be a Knight or a Slayer and it'll work fine.

    Ancient Soul Feat Question

    You can really trick out Dragon Breath as a Dragonborn Dragon Sorcerer. Nusemee's Atonement, Ninefold Master, Sorcerous Flux, Rod of Arkhosia, War Wizardary, Trusted Spellcasting. At 30 it is hyper accurate (can get it to the point where it misses level+1 on a natural 1 only), and the damage mod...

    Battlefield Archer quarry damage

    In addition, any attack made against a quarry receives a +1 bonus to attack rolls. There is ambiguity.... where exactly? O.o

    Does the term "a creature" include yourself?

    "I make the ogre, who is a creature, make an attack against himself." Works fine.

    How do you deal with Battle Standards?

    It really isn't that bad. It isn't moveable, for one thing, takes a Standard to plant for another. If you just let them have it, you'll see how they use it for a few encounters, and you can bear that in mind when designing future encounters. The fact that it doesn't do damage and there are...

    "Quick Change" (Master Spy) Question

    Though if a power said "enemies only" as a target, and was single-target, your player could indeed not be attacked with that power.

    Best Goliath defender build

    If you had specific numbers, you could use the following equation to compare the situation. (chance to hit without the penalty) > (penalty * average damage without the bonus) / (20 * bonus damage) At his level, with those feats, Longsword would win.

    Best Goliath defender build

    Since those stats aren't legal I'm assuming they are rolled. Battle Awareness should be your Fighter MC Feat. The new line of "Superior" NAD feats from Essentials should replace two of those, though honestly I'd take Improved Defenses till mid-Paragon. Toughness is overkill on a Warden...

    Druid Class question

    The key here is actually that it says "No more then two" so you're incorrect. Humans could go 2 Beast Form (which is the absolute most you're allowed), 2 Caster.

    Rules clarification - Power Effects

    Hit: Only takes place on a hit. Miss: Only takes place on a miss. Effect: Always happens. If there is a line of text indented under any of those, it is linked to that line. So Hit: ___Class Feature: Blank That would only happen on a hit.

    Question about MM3 fire elemental

    Yep, at-will. By the MM3 it isn't even defined as an "attack power" so doesn't suffer that limitation of one/turn. Every time he gets hit.
