This! And b/c DS deals radiant damage as well you can use some of the radiant themed/enhancing feats/PP/etc. as well.

Designing adventures for the group is a good thing. And by doing it you can ensure that your players get what they want. I think no one said that there is a need for a balanced party - I said it would be probably more easy for the party and the DM if the party is balanced. E.g. an all striker...

OTOH, on a save only the part of the forced movement that would endanger the target is avoided and the target is prone. Whereas the teleport is canceled completely if it endangers the target. EDIT: I don't want to sound like 3D teleport can't be abused. But there is forced movement which can be...

And in most of those circumstances forced movement would work as well. And if you like to force someone into a pit or over a cliff the target gets a save and if successful falls prone in the last safe square. It's not like teleporting upwards opens up endless possibilities for broken combos. It...

A balanced party would be best. With balanced I mean a party that can handle many different situations w/o too many problems. I suggest you remind them that a defender and leader would be good to have b/c if something goes wrong it's good to have some backup. That would leave one role slot...

Based on the figures you presented we can assume that about 30% of the monsters will not be seriusly endangered by being teleported into the air. That leaves 70% which will take full falling damage. Falling damage is 1d10 per 10ft. (2 squares). A teleport 6 into the air would deal 3d10 = 15,5...

And how many of the remaining monsters can fly. They should be able to fly if they are just teleported into the air.

Not all implements can benefit from Weapon Focus but some can and the "some" are all those that are weapons as well.

To be honest even if we find x other powers that are templated like the one in question what do we do with them? If they all fail to work under my interpretation of the rule one may think yours is right. If it's about 50/50 who knows. If most of them work perfectly fine /w my interpretation...

The order of the entries of the pic you posted looks totally messed up. I wouldn't use this power to argue in favor of any of those possible interpretations. ATM I see no reason for going back and forth on the topic b/c w/o further input (custserv/faq/update) I see no possible outcome which we...

Let me expound on your example and that the OAs are just acciedental slashs narrativewise. Your horde of people running/walking around aren't cautious when wandering around. To be honest it would be rather stupid in real life to walk into a heated battle with swords w/o taking extra care when...

I'm on your side -this time. ;) You are awesome. Guess who...

Guys you should start to seperate CharOp threads in two kinds of types. Unlimited and gamebreaking exercises VS strong/useful/good/effective/unusual characters. And the guides don't tell you that you should make build x or y, they just rate all kind of options a class/whatever gets. The point...

No, it's 5 not 3 b/c you would deal 10/2=5 radiant damage (weakened) increased by the vulnerability to 10 and halved for insubstantial to 5. -- This is what I wanted to answer BUT after rereading the relevant rule parts I agree with you - you're right. The only messy thing about all this halving...

This.

Check out the WotC DDI Compendium Demo you can't read the power/feat/etc. but you get the source. If I stumble upon something unknown I do that - awesome use of that demo. Or check out the CharOp boards /w the guides to all classes. The really good ones include sources for everything they contain.

I like to add powers /w a trigger (immediate reactions/interrupts, free actions, no actions)

AFAIK, in the case of a wraith if you attack /w a power dealing radiant damage and the vulnerability applies, it applies before you apply insubstantial. Therefore, you apply insubstantial last, after resistances/etc. That makes encounters /w insubstantial and weakened rather long and annoying...

Because this thread showed up, let's have some news from the WotC boards regarding this book. The Player's Strategy Guide allows you to acquire implement proficiencies by multiclassing. Discuss.

You miss the fact that controllers can use their powers (not all but many) at range and they cover larger areas. Mr. Monk has to wade into melee. The range/area benefit costs somewhere else, less damage less/weaker effects. Just take the good old Sleep, it can win an entire encounter if the DM...
