    Understanding Attacks of Oppurtunity

    There is no "facing" in 4e. "Back and side" squares have zero meaning. You're aware at all times of your surroundings. That out of the way: Opportunity Attacks are Melee Basic Attacks, which is a power everyone gets by default. Some powers can specifically be used as OAs, or MBAs, those are...

    Can free actions be used as interrupts?

    Free Action Attack should be "Free Action Attack Power." Otherwise... yeah, basically correct.

    Help me pimp my Brawling Fighter

    No, actually. In order to beat Kensei you need to go up to 4[W] powers to compare in terms of damage. For every attack you make. So he does more damage then your build. So you do less damage and are less sticky. Your defenses seem weird. Unless you're actually wearing that Heavy Shield that you...

    You Can't Take Short Rests

    So long as you're basically spreading out the encounter(s), so each short rest is still a level appropriate encounter, you inform the players in advance so they can use their powers appropriately, should work fine. Problems: Boring. You'll be down to At-Will spam inevitably. This detracts...

    Hybrid defenders and marking

    Though at Epic you can take the additional Immediate feat twice (the Rapid series of feats). Once for each class. Then you can enforce your Mark 3x per round.

    Can free actions be used as interrupts?

    That rule only applies to triggered free actions... there is just as much text, even post-RC, for non-triggered free actions as there was before. I.e., none.

    When Holding A Two-handed Weapon

    Wouldn't work, you're Holding, not Wielding it when a 2h is in 1h. You can still use it as an Implement though, because Implements only need to be Held, not Wielded (which is why you can use a Staff 1-handed as an Implement). You could use a Versatile weapon to pull it off though (and get a +1...

    Implement confusion, expertise and focus

    There are also Class feats (Tempest Magic for Storm Sorcs), and if you are doing only one kind of damage there are Elemental Feats.

    Shaman Healing Spirit + Feats question

    Healing Spirit is a Close Power. Close Powers are specifically "used on" their targets (actually each type, melee, range, close, and area says this exact bit). It is not used on things that are not targeted, by RAW. So.. the spirit boon doesn't trigger, as I said. It isn't a matter of being...

    Shaman Healing Spirit + Feats question

    Spirit Boon only applies to the target of healing powers in this case. So your ally has to be adjacent to the SC and be the primary target of Healing Spirit. Vigorous Spirit is the same thing. Only applies to the target, not the secondary ally. Because the secondary ally is not in the Target...

    Meenlock's "Horrid Link" power

    Whenever you affect a creature with a power, that creature knows exactly what you’ve done to it and what conditions you’ve imposed. PHB 57. A Concious creature affected by a power knows what that power has done to it. RC 90. Pretty specific. Not "some insight" he knows exactly what the...

    Theme parties. Forked Thread: Challenge: Balanced Stealthy Party

    5 Elf Archer Rangers, all built identically. Super-effective party and they all, necessarily, fit the same theme. ;)

    Need advice making a great thief :)

    The entire class feature that allows you to be constantly invisible? The real question is what does Assassin bring to the table, cause outside of the feat that allows you to grab Shadowstep the answer is "nothing."

    Bloodcut Armour PHB - any nerfs ?

    I'm wondering if you bother to read the pages people cite for you when you ask rules questions. Wait... no I'm not.

    Combat Timing and multi-attack powers

    Attacks resolve one at a time (and anything that reacts to the attacks occurs between the attacks).

    Can Wizards turn around their D&D support?

    "You do your STR mod in damage" - add bonuses?

    Lyrandar Wind-Rider PP. Flat +Con to damage on Lightning attacks. There are about a dozen things that add to flat damage, but that is probably the most impressive one.

    PHB3 minotaur death blow

    No. The hit happens, but does not resolve. If this is incredibly confusing then you're in the vast majority. Damage is different, because the attack sequence specifies that once a hit has happened, it has happened, and the damage happens regardless. In the majority of cases it is far, far easier...
