    Monsters poison weapon

    If it's an at-will attack, it poisons on every hit. If it's an encounter or daily attack, it can only be used once per encounter/day. Monsters don't follow the same rules as PCs.

    Kobold Dragonshield Tactics power question

    The dragonshield's shift occurs immediately after the movement (reactions to movement can work like interrupts). Whether that negates the attack depends on several factors. If the attacker is using a power that allows him to shift and attack as part of the same action, the attack would be...

    Combat Challenge and Opportunity Attack

    You're comparing apples to oranges. Divine Challenge is a power that does two things to its target: 1) marks it. 2) causes it to take damage if it attacks anyone other than you while it is marked. The radiant damage from divine challenge is not part of the mark itself, it's part of the power...

    Determining line of sight vs cover

    Not quite. Cover is determined by one corner of your square and every corner of the target square, LOS is determined by one corner of your square to any point in the target square, not just a corner.

    Combat Challenge and Opportunity Attack

    Combat Superiority lets you stop any movement if you make an opportunity attack. Combat Challenge is not an OA, it's an immediate interrupt. If you acquire a power or ability that lets you take an OA against a shifting opponent (like the Warpriest's Challenge being discussed here), then yes, you...

    Combat Challenge and Opportunity Attack

    This step isn't even necessary--you don't have to mark a target with Combat Challenge to get the interrupt attack. The wording, even in the errata, is clear: "an enemy marked by you." Any ability that lets you mark a target can trigger the extra attack from Combat Challenge (see for example...

    Knocked Prone and occupied spaces - Help

    Better than engulf, give them a trample attack (see the warhorse entry for an example) and you're all set.

    Blind sight

    First tip, don't force your text color to black when the default color scheme for the board has a very dark gray background. :) Second tip, blindsight exists, see MM p. 280. Third tip, note that blindsight allows you to perceive things within range as normal. In other words, you can hide from...

    is it possible to multiclass?

    Correct. Note the requirements on the power swap feats: X level, and any class-specific multiclass feats. That's it; no other requirements.

    Need a little help

    Yes. Yes it does--as I think you've seen from encountering these things. You should do this, and also gently suggest that he very carefully read through all of the PHB and DMG, assuming nothing from 3.5 is true. 4E is a very, very different game, and making assumptions that "it worked in 3.5"...

    Aura effects and continuing damage

    Yes, if an immediate action on your turn hits you with a (save ends) effect, you save against that effect at the end of your turn. If the (save ends) effect that hit you is ongoing damage, you might never take said ongoing damage.

    D&D 4E How does the 4E Barbarian Rage ability work?

    Rage strike is not the barbarian's equivalent of sneak attack/hunter's quarry/warlock's curse. It's a way to let the barbarian spend multiple daily powers in one fight without hosing himself out of the Effect of his first rage power.

    Feat damage stacking Q

    Dilettante (half-elf racial ability) doesn't allow you to choose a class feature like Hunter's Quarry. Are you talking about the ranger multiclass feat?

    Dual Wielding

    If you choose the Two Blade Fighting Style you can use any one-handed weapon. If you choose the Archery Fighting Style you can only use off-hand weapons in your off hand.

    Wizard attack 3 - Icy Rays question

    You can hit one target with one ray or two targets with one ray each. You cannot hit one target with two rays. Compare Icy Rays with Twin Strike's language; if you could hit one creature with both rays it would say "Intelligence vs. Reflex, two attacks."

    Invisible opponents.

    They can't move into that square and they know an invisible creature is there. If the invisibility is merely being hidden thanks to a Stealth check, the creature is no longer hidden from that character. Yes. Yes. Unless the power explicitly says "adjacent alkly you can see," yes.

    Barbarian is up!!!

    This might not be a bad idea. The problem is, if you give a bonus to AC/Ref in light armor that's not as good as the boost you get by going to chain, the barbarian is still going to go for chain. If the bonus is as good as going to chain, you're going to end up with the same problem of "high...

    Barbarian is up!!!

    As has already been pointed out, this effectively gives the barbarian more daily powers than any other class. Consider: A first-level ranger can drop one daily power per day. Let's say he chose Hunter's Bear Trap. Once per day, he can drop 1[W] + Stat damage, plus ongoing 5 damage and a slow...

    Fighters and Goblin Tactics

    Ah, good point, I missed that the OP specified that it was the fighter that missed the goblin, thus triggering the shift. In that specific instance you're right, it would have to be the result of something like Commander's Strike allowing the fighter to make an attack on a turn other than his or...

    Fighters and Goblin Tactics

    Such a situation might arise any time the fighter is adjacent to the goblin and someone else misses the goblin with a melee attack. Warlord powers aren't even necessary.
