But the feats specifically state that you must have a melee weapon in each hand.

Which is why they dont just say subtract the bonus hide provides and add the bonus for chain mail. Its convoluted, but its supposed to work, and it really isnt to much math.

Thats how I have been ruling.

But why have an arbitrary need for doing a completely random action as opposed to just hiding. Why isnt "hiding" considered an action that you are attempting to do stealthy? Why isnt "hiding" just a minor action, or some other action?

No, the rules dont say that. The rules say that you gain combat advantage against an enemy that isnt aware of you. Also, one must make the distinction between moving stealthy and hiding. If the goal is to hide, then you are doing that action stealthily. If you just want to move stealthily...

No, then you succeed in dropping a pebble stealthily. Anyone who doesnt succeed against your stealth check doesnt know that you dropped a pebble; at least thats how I read it. In order to become "stealthed" AKA hide, you just have to hide. You have to make sure no one sees you hide as per the...

In both cases the monster have cover, but not superior cover.

Bugbear as a brawny rogue. With its +2 STR and +2 DEX, it boosts the stats needed unlike any PC class, and with Predator Eye you essentially get a bonus to your SA damage. It also gets a bonus to stealth and intimidate, and it has low-light vision. Its the perfect brawny rogue, but not one...

Yeah, because you get one opportunity action, and one immediate action per turn.

I remember a post on the Wizard boards asking this very same question and someone from wizard said that minions do in fact get temp HP (I believe it was in relation to a kobold that gave temp HP for keep on the shoadowfell, but I am not sure exactly). EDIT: Thats the post I was remembering...

But the power never says that the action point doesnt count towards the amount of action points you can spend in one encounter. Personally I think its still a good power. Normally you can only spend an action point once ever other encounter, and this one lets you spend one every encounter.

If its an immediate interrupt then the attack and all effects of that attack are resolved before the action. If its an immediate reaction then the attack and all effects of that attack are resolved after the action.

Because halflings are big enough that they can wield it proficiently without taking a penalty. Its a one handed heavy weapon, so obviously its going to be on the upper end of their abilities, but they can still use it as a human would, at least mechanically.

First of all halfings are slightly bigger than they were previously, but over all all they really did was get rid of the second table for small creatures and get rid of ridiculous d3. Mechanically it all pretty much works the same as it did in 3ed. In 3ed if you were small and you wanted to...

Make an appropriate level NPC with the appropriate class template.

I use a rapier and daggers, that way I get the bonus to damage when I want, and the bonus to hit whenever I want.

A longsword is a versatile weapon, so a halfling would have to hold it in two hands, the equivalent of a human using a greatsword. A halfling cannot use a longsword in one hand. And no, a rogue wouldnt necessarily use a short sword because he gets a bonus +1 to hit with a dagger.

Im sorry, but why cant you use a short sword as a halfling? Nothing that I can see prevents it.

That wasnt my point, and if you had actually read my posts in this thread I think its pretty clear that wasnt my point. My post was in response to this statement: Are you telling me that that hasnt been true in all editions of D&D?

Exactly, now why is that an issue?
