I play Warhammer Fantasy 2E and this statement is only partly true.

The mentioning of the target of intimidate becoming usually hostile regardless of success should indicate that the outcome of diplomacy and intimidate are usually not the same. Inserting assumptions like diplomacy can turn targets hostile as well doesn't change the fact that by RAW it doesn't...

I never wanted to touch RAW with this statement. I assumed that you drop the part that "all staff implements are quarterstaffs". ;) I think no one said staff fighting + DIS is OP. Honestly I don't want to explain the whole difference between DIS and TWF. I suggest you take a look at some...

Maybe the game has evolved and the "staff implements are quarterstaffs" part is a leftover rules text. But I don't want to argue that this is true. Unless staff implement == staff weapon group for all instances/purposes. I was trying to point out that the "staff implements are quarterstaffs"...

I could ask you again why do you assume that your rule part you like to cite trumps mine. And all that logic stuff is fine. Let's try this: General Rule: All weapons in the staff weapon group can be used as implements. Specific Rule: All staff implements are quarterstaffs. Specific beats...

Invent sounds like the idea that a weapon group becomes an implement has never existed before but it does exist, compare to sword mage implements. So perspective B contradicts only "all staff implements are quarterstaffs". Your reading ignores/contradicts that any staff group weapon can be an...

Call it however you like. You might be able to bring one spare weapon probably already a plus lower than your main weapon. A second spare weapon will probably be much lower again. If you lose your main weapon at levle 4. You might lose +1 to hit. But at level 28+ it means more like a loss of +6...

A close blast x is x times x squares big, e.g. a close blast 3 is 3 times 3 squares big and looks like this: XXX XXX XXX If P is the "caster" of the close blast you can place the starting square of close blast in any square that shares at least one adjacent square with P. yyy yPy yyy The...

As long as the only weapon in the staff weapon group is the quarterstaff it doesn't matter from which perspective you're looking at it. The moment you add an aditional weapon to the staff weapon group that is not a quarterstaff, perspective matters. And who decides which perspective is the one...

And how high is the starting DC? And how does it improve with the level of the target/monster? And what action does it take?

This is true if you develop the arguement from the staff implement side to the quarterstaff/staff weapon group side. Let's try the other way round: There is no rules text that says that the quarterstaff is the only weapon that can be a staff implement. Profiency w/ staff implements can be read...

To compensate you could increase their damage, add an aura based on stench that reduces attack bonuses or defenses. Let them inflict diseases. Take a look at all the zombies published so far and let those inspire you.

How can you say that you can use them interchangeably by saying the results are the same when intimidate states that the target becomes hostile afterwards. This is not the same result. If you never care for the ensueing hostility and don't add consequences, you are right diplomacy and intimidate...

Generally no. PHB1 P286 shaded box upper left corner: Clear Path compare to shaded box P283 Moving through occupied squares: Enemies.

And why do you assume that? The only thing you have got is that the staff implement is treated as the specfic weapon quarterstaff if you use it as a weapon. This does not automatically mean that all other staff weapons are not staff implements. You can turn that argument around and use it...

Nice analysis. But remember as well once there are features/feats/powers/etc. that allow zAP/encounter with z>1 this analysis is rather worthless.

For your interest I don't own a DDI sub. Even so, I think it is very useful. The reason I have none is, I'm not actively playing 4E right now. I don't care why you don't want DDI - but telling someone X is good and useful seems to be the right thing to do especially if X is really good and...

Does that directly contradict what I'm saying. Actually you don't have to do that. They can talk about both. To clarify things. Weapliments weren't that common in PHB1. Nice to hear that. If you can use staffs as implements and something (staff fighting) says treat the quarterstaff as...

We already told you what you get if you subscribe to DDI. We told you what you get if you buy the DA2009. We told you how to run DDI on a Mac for free/cheap. We can't add anything. Take the info you've gotten. Be grateful for it. But please don't tell us over and over again that you don't want...

Take a look at the wording at the implement entry of swordmages in the FRPG. It says light blades and heavy blades. It nowhere states that this refers to the weapon group. Still everyone knows that they are weapon groups and are meant. Wizards are proficient with staff implements. There is a...
