What about the example in the PHB for the Flaming Weapon? Are Paladins special for some reason? For that matter what makes non-martial melee classes so special that the {insert energy type here} Weapons that they get to convert their damage, but implement users don't?

1 and 3)Yes and Yes The 1d6+con is part of the hit line so it would be maximized. If it was part of an effect line then it would be no. 2)The curse damage can only be applied to a cursed creature and only once per round. 4)Once

I feel your pain. Nothing aggravates me more then someone who doesn't read the books, but insists they know what they are talking about because they heard it somewhere once. The least they could do is at least make some kind of an effort to learn the rules. Even if that effort consists of asking...

Items powers are treated in the exact same manner as any other power you have. Since item powers follow the same rules as all your other powers you do what the power tell you. If it say when you attack with this then weapon then it works as a weapon or an implement. If it say when you make a...

They probably got the two confused as they always were spoken about together.

Rod of Corruption works as it says in the PHB. What was change was the Rod of Reaving. Rod of Reaving was changed that it only does damage to non-minions when you place your curse. Before the change if you had a Rod of Corruption and a Rod of Reaving you could wipe out all the minions in an...

OMG don't remind me. I hated thing I couldn't backstab. I would go from awesome to useless. Bleh.:mad:

I'm surprised Halflings made it this far. I like them, but I know a lot of people don't. I voted Eladrin because while the teleport is nice it's not enough for me to find the race interesting.

Someone posted a pretty decent house rule set for miniless combat in the WotC forums a while back. Take a look and see if it is something you could use or improve upon.

Yeah, he mentioned the heal skill in his post. His point was that there are only so many ways to activate Second Wind when you are dieing. Add that to the fact that Second Wind can only be used once in an encounter then CotWW being used while dieing is not that big of an issue. Certainly not a...

No CovertOps you are confused. Opportunity Action and Immediate Action are two separate types of actions. An Opportunity Attack is a type of Opportunity Action. Immediate Interrupts and Immediate Reactions are two types of Immediate Actions. It's the Opportunity and Immediate parts that are...

Erik has it right. Putting Shrouds on a minion is a wasted of effort.

That is a good way to speed up combat and it helps you keep better track of which monsters have gone. It's even suggested in the DMG. You are suppose to do one at a time. There is nothing stopping you from using tactics to ready an attack until the other monsters in the group get into position...

Each creature gets their very own turn.

One thing that I want to note about Stances. "Stance" is just a name the games uses for a particular mechanic. It could be used in a power that is very much like a fighting stance in the real word or it can be used in a power that just needs to use the stance keyword(for mechanical or balance...

The bloodied condition doesn't end just because you are dieing. As long as you are at or below your bloodied value you are bloodied. That said, regeneration does not work if your hitpoints are 0 or lower. Stances only end at the end of an encounter(5 minutes) or you use another Stance(page 55).

Of course he would. Why wouldn't he?

Ok lets say you have a level 16 One-handed weapon talent longsword wielding fighter with a 24 Strength and you are fighting an enemy with an AC of 34. First you need to figure out you base attack bonus which is: For you you attack bonus with a basic attack(page 287) would be 8(1/2 level)...

Still shouldn't have been able to do it. At least not with Healing Word if that is the power Jack99 is referring to. Graz'zt can force a dominated creature to use encounter ATTACK powers.

If you are going to a comparison, please use real powers because as it is powers that do ongoing damage are more powerful then powers that do damage once in an attack, with or without vulnerability. The comparison you put forth doesn't exist, as far as I know.
