Sure it does. It just doesn't work if you're at 0 HP or less. The only way in the rules to end a Stance is to choose to end it, the Encounter ends, 5 minutes passes, or you use another stance.

And I think two of the opposite actions; is. Remember, your round takes place over 6 seconds, the same 6 seconds everyone elses does. In effect, you're saying every time they use their sword (multiple swings/blocks per 6 seconds represented by one attack) they switch their grip.

I've always considered following movement to be implied. Now though, I have to think "What if the target moves into an area where they are surrounded on all sides by allies/walls?"

You may just not have the ally spend their action point so at the mile stone you don't need to worry about it, otherwise, yes, I'd give them their AP back. Leave the kobolds an escape route and on their action they run away. Maybe a really small crack or tunnel they have to Squeeze to move...

It is Times (as in multiplier), CS answered it and it was posted to a thread in June. Another poster said it was shorthand and not corrected by the time it went to the printer.

Just 1 although I require a 2 squares verticle to be over a medium sized creature.

Both Multiple Dropping to 0 HP or less doesn't end any harmful effects I've seen so far.

Yes. A swarms movement provokes as normal except when entering or moving through an enemy's square.

Of course not. Taken from The New England Skeptical Society - Articles The spell/power in question creats an area that causes damage. DMG p44,61 make it clear it's Hindering Terrain and they get a saving throw if forceably moved into it.

Yes. Always looked cut-and-dried to me and it still does. Nothing I've read in this thread causes me to rethink the rules either. I say "the rules" instead of "my position" because I think DMG p61 makes it perfectly clear that an area under a damaging effect, be it natural or (player) created...

I think a little use of common sense can allow Mage Hand to fly but not all spells that say "may move x squares". If a player argues why x spell can't when Mage Hand can, simply "reply common sense and balance" and move on. :)

I make it a non-action (Free) but also make them choose between wielding a weapon on or two handed for the entire round. Combat is an abstract of constant fighting, not "I do all of this and no one else does anything. Now it's your turn." Prevents any cheese and is 100% with the spirit of the...

Versatile weapons are one-handed. When using them two-handed who get the +1 damage (unless you're a halfling) and all your one-handed feats/abilities apply. You do not get the additional damage from Power Attack either, because it's a one-handed weapon.

Sometimes we get a Skill check with a high DC to find out who's a minions and we're never told outright. I can't imagine telling players outright. All that suspense gone... even if creatures are treated like minions except for getting a couple extra hitpoints, the fact they don't pop right...

Now this is a new version and we're still getting all the nuances down but: Why not? If there was something in the rules regarding this surely all the rules lawyers I play with (and I'm one of them) would point it out.

You're still allowing the Paladin to Challenge every round without ever attacking or ending adjacent to an enemy. I do not think this is RAI. I don't think RAW is very ambiguous either, but here we are. Anyway, instead of having a "You're next!" challenge it became a "You're mine!" by...

Everyone in our group reads DC to require you to Engage the new target the same turn you DC them and can't figure out how you can interpret it differently. No free round of going "I challenge YOU! Just be patient, I'll get closer eventually." Otherwise you would be able to challenge a...

I'd say the fighter gets an attack. I'd take a whole turn view as did the 3.x versions. Everyone is moving at the same time, it's just broken into the artificial turns to make it manageable as opposed to "everyone move 5', everyone move another 5'". I don't think it's game breaking to allow...

It's considered as if the spell were cast seperately on the caster and the familiar with any random effects rolled once. False Life will give each the same number but damage done to one of them won't effect the HP remaining on the other.

Yes it is. bead of healing 9,000 - Wearer can cast his choice of cure serious wounds, remove blindness/deafness, or remove disease Ioun Stone Pearly white - Regenerate 1 point of damage per hour 20,000 gp. Regeneration from the pearly white ioun stone works like a ring of regeneration. (It only...
