CustServe Response So I got a response from custserve to the question I posted prior to this post. I will let you refer to post #33 to see the question. Here was the answer. So in summary: 1) When using a magic item as a weapon or an implement in conjunction with a class or racial power, all...

First, This is not accurate. Page 234, under frost weapon states Emphasis mine. All damage means that none of the damage is anything but cold, and normal means that the damage is handled in the manor outlined on page 55, where it states The ability of a frost weapon is not turned off or on...

Yeah, this whole thing really needs cleared up. The example on pg 55 states pretty clearly that a power that does damage does that keyword in damage. It also states that a keyword on a power doesn't necessarily do damage of that keywords type. Then it goes on to state that any time a power does...

This is not true. When a power used in an attack is made with a flaming weapon, but the at-will of the flaming weapon is off, then the power still gets the fire keyword. If that power had the radiant keyword for example, the damage is both radiant and fire. When you assign damage, 1/2 the damage...

Keywords would seem to be pointless if they were not meant to be used in this way. This is obviously the way that the designers decided to add the keyword of a weapons power to the weapon itself. Flaming weapons always do fire damage, radiant weapons always do radiant damage, and they trigger...

The only thing better than being quoted in a positive light is being quoted as a Ninja!

I like that it favors some weapons over others. Variety and all. Gives players meaningful choices instead of choices between a bunch of things that suck and one that doesn't. Good for the game. On top of that, if you have a problem with a game element that is intended to be used by characters...

With the custserve ruling that wands impart the keyword of the power that they posess to any power used with the wand, and the ability to manufacture wands with any spell in them, this make the Doomsayer the most broken PP of the PHB. The math of the situation is that if you make a fear keyword...

I personally feel that there is a lot of obvious design space left empty in the 4e PHB1. I think that the 4e DMG1 is mostly about running a game and leaves out a lot of the rules of earlier editions. The 4e MM1 is kinda limited in the number of options for monsters at each level, especially at...

Wizards want a high wis and int. If you play a wizard you are wanting to be a controller, and controllers will want the orb implement mastery. This uses wis. They might want a higher wis than int. Going for anything else over the long run will be sub-optimal. Maybe fun and fit a concept, but the...

What are you using for your character builder? These look very impressive and have all of the relavant info on the sheet. I would like to see that generator to make my own characters.

Warderbrad, that sheet witht the powers added in would be amazing. I would like a copy if possible. I was planing on doing it, but I have my hands full with another project for sharing with EnWorld. All this Excel madness has gotten me enthused.

This is a great idea. I have been thinking about reflavoring all the races to be humans that are reincarnated from great heros. I was having a hard time with Dragonborn Dragon Breath and Eladrin Fey Step. Just giving Dragonborn a Paladin at-will and the Eladrin all the cantrips and a wizard...

I would love it if you did this! I have started the same thing with powers, but with my other projects and family responsibilities, I haven't gotten very far. Most of the spreadsheet character sheet/character builders don't have this sort of detailed information. I was planning to take the...

This is briliant. I have suggested before that the Warlord MCed with a Fey Pact Warlock would be a better Bard than the Bard ever was, but I did that before I had actually seen the rules. This is the first time I have revisited this thought since I got the books. I had never thought that you...

Unfortunately the request was just as lacking in specifics. Add specifics to the request, and I am sure specifics will be added to the answer.

I agree that the database that I modified had less functionality, I just like the way I went about the sorting problem for the encounter calculator better. That is why I posted back here so that maybe what I wrote would get integrated with the original without me having to do it. I am lazy after...

This is a great database, but I think that I came into this conversation a little late. I have been working on a modification of this database in another thread. That thread had an encounter calculator, and while there are some interesting ideas here that I might have to steal, the sorting...

I really like the work that you have done here. I figured that I would contribute some to this project as well. I added the XP values to the monster choice list so a GM will know what they are adding before they select the monster, and I also fixed some bugs that prevented you from removin any...

I am still having problems with the issues that I posted before. Expanded Spellbook, Arcane Initiate Feat, and the Arcana Skill. None work the way they should. Expanded Spellbook never becomes available with the Arcane Initiate feat, Arcane Initiate feat does not add the Arcane skill, no at-will...
