    Persistent Threat and Rain of Steel

    Hi there, I have a question regarding Persistent Threat [PS] (D383) and a stance like Rain of Steel [RoS] (PHB). The situation: Fighter dazed and RoS active. Takes no opportunity action. Any number of enemies adjacent. PS gives you one OA per turn when you are dazed. RoS requires that you are...

    math analysis of DMG loot guidelines for starting PCs above level 1

    Why would you do that? There are many excellent items that are more than 3 levels lower if you are level 30. And that by no means applies only to level 30.

    math analysis of DMG loot guidelines for starting PCs above level 1

    Thank you for the numbers! I always had the impression that if you started at higher levels (let's say 10+) that your equip is worse than the equip of a char you played from lvl1 to the same lvl. I just never did research how big that difference in wealth was. And that you get at low levels a...

    Shaman AC too low?

    About the BRB in chain armor. I see no big difference between a BRV FTR and a RBV BRB flavorwise. So why should one of them be more/less likely to wear chain flavorwise.

    Shaman AC too low?

    This is fluff - just change the material. No, because you can take it as your lvl2, or lvl4, or lvlx feat if you want. Probably, it is better to take it at lvl1. If you happen to play a human you can take armor prof (chain) and one other feat at lvl1. Like I care about WotC's ideas on how to...

    Shaman AC too low?

    Once again, I fail to see the problem. For the cost of STR 13 and 1 feat (armor prof chain) you get an AC that is at level 30 two (2!) points lower than that of a plate armor user w/o a shield. Did I miss something?

    Allies?

    As you can see, the answer is no. You are not your own ally.

    Figuring Out Critical Hit Damage

    Right! If it is a 1[W] power -right! Right. At paragon tier -right. This! Because it is still the same damage roll, all (static) mods are already included, you are just adding extra die to that damage roll. Right. Unless you already did. No. Your crit damage on this attack would be...

    High Crit Property with Implement Attacks

    But if you take Deadly Axe at lvl11 or above your khopesh is high crit and those high crit die are weapon die. I don't think this whole high crit on implement attacks works. But I understand that if you read it like all properties of the weapon (not just magical ones) are applied when you use...

    Defenders and Monsters that Swallow Whole

    I think you can't discuss 'swallow' in general. Because it is not defined as a keyword (like swarm, phasing, immunity, etc.). It is a monster power that varies by monster. And the varying restrictions that are placed upon the swallowee, are a varying nuissance based on defender. Therefore you...

    Charge!

    You can only make a melee basic attack at the end of a charge. And a melee basic attack is defined in the PHB. Therefore, you can't use most of your at-will/encounter/daily powers at the end of a charge. The very same is true for monsters as well.

    Defenders and Monsters that Swallow Whole

    Read this update of the MM: Apparently, I'm fullfilling the requirements of LoS and LoE.

    Charge!

    This. Some DM are allowing free actions even after the charge. And some people here think that, you should be able to take free actions after a charge and that the restriction of no actions applies only to standard, move, and minor actions. We had another thread about this a few weeks ago.

    High Level Warden Are Useless!

    That's one more reason to believe that it is an oversight.

    The problem with Distant Advantage

    I won't check your math here, I simply assume you got it right. If players multi flank a target they might as well be in a position to get flanked (or multi flanked) as well. And standing next to a wall, will do you no good if you can't reach an enemy by doing this. And with higher charlvls...

    High Level Warden Are Useless!

    Many? I read the lvl 19-29 dailies and researched that: Only 1 should have the weapon keyword, Form of the Starmetal Warrior 29. And I assume that was an oversight and not intentional. All others have either the weapon keyword or target a NAD and gain a tier appropriate bonus.

    Defenders and Monsters that Swallow Whole

    Wether you are dazed or not depends on the monster that swallowed you. Therefore, your first sentence should depend on the monster that swallowed the defender. Being swallowed is already not the best thing for your defender to happen - to weaken him even more by denying what he should get by...

    Should Implements have their own proficiency bonus?

    How many AC targeting implement attacks are out there - anyone got a list or a number? If their number is really small about 3 or the like just talk to your DM to give you either a +2 bonus to attack rolls or to change it to an appropriate NAD. Or don't bother at all and take some other power.

    Defenders and Monsters that Swallow Whole

    How do they attack the swallowed creature except for automatic damage? The sight of a purpleworm eating himself just to bite the swallowed fighter one more time would be kinda amusing.
