Yeah, just the hybrid rules as written, plus the feat Arcane Implement Proficiency, would let you use any heavy blade as your weapon, arcane implement, and divine implement all at once.

Dominate doesn't change who your allies and enemies are. The panther would take its instinctive action as normal, and would still consider the party's allies as its allies, and the party's enemies as its enemies. Basically, it would work exactly the same as if the druid was simply stunned for...

This seems overly adversarial to me, personally. I'd rather make the players feel challenged without making them feel cheated.

I'd have it do something awesome like remove regeneration and insubstantial, from undead, demons, and devils (save ends, with an increasing save penalty at higher levels of water). And maybe add some radiant vulnerability, depending on the level of the holy water. Something you'd use in...

This is what I'd rule, as well.

Sounds like the correct usage to me. It's definitely very powerful, but not overpowered, I'd say. It's two dailies being used, and the cleric is going to be hovering at bloodied and having to stay in the zone and spend an action to sustain the zone. So the cleric is pretty vulnerable...

Can't give you any more XP, but this was another great post. Steel_Wind is quickly becoming one of my favorite posters on ENWorld.

A brief guide to making minions rock: 1. Use lots of them. Adding four or six minions to an encounter is usually pretty lame and not very challenging. If you're going to bother with minions in an encounter, use 15 or 20 or 30 of them. 2. Don't ever have them bunch up. Spread 'em out all...

Leaders are my favorite, followed closely by Defenders.

Great post, weem! Thanks for sharing this excellent advice. A lot of good posts in this thread, actually. I like it.

"Debbie, your cleric has been raised to the 8th level. I think it's time that you learned how to really cast spells."

Awesome. Nice maps. Thanks for the pictures!

Yes indeed. I'm a big fan of the updates.

Yeah, original Grasp of the Grave was completely ridiculous. Especially with a few of the old Salves of Power, so you could use it every encounter. We totally ruined SPEC1-2 with that power. I'm very glad when broken stuff gets changed in the updates.

I don't mind long encounters, either in number of rounds or length of real time. In fact, any fight which is resolved quickly feels like a bit of a rip-off to me, as a player. If it was that easy, or that tactically simple that we were able to polish it off in just a few rounds, or a short...

I rule it as "enters" means "changes from a state of not being in the zone to a state of being in the zone" regardless of whether or not the character moved or otherwise chose to be in the zone. So if a zone appears, and you're in it now, you've "entered" it. If a zone moves, and now you're in...

There is a HUGE amount of 4E material now. Looking at the latest update of the DDI Compendium... There are 2,378 feats. Only 161 feats appear in the original 4E Player's Handbook, so there are almost fifteen times as many feats in the game now. There are 6,298 powers. Only 707 powers appear...

Masterplan is awesome. I hope it continues forward in some form.

Sweet! Thanks for that.

Sometimes I forget why I hate corporations. Now I remember.
