But he did answer the question. The answer is that there are no class features, its all in the powers.

Take leather for instance. If the enhancement bonus is less than +4 then the total bonus to AC is enhancment+2. If the enhancement bonus is +4 or more, but less than +6 (ie +4 or +5) then the total bonus to AC is enhancement+3. If the enhancement bonus is +6, than the total bonus to AC is...

Yup, a very controller like power, in fact its almost identical to Cloudkill. But look at the other 19th level powers of the classes. The rest are either single target and/or buff based for the cleric, and AOE damage based for the Wizard. Fire Storm is an exception, not a cleric defining power.

It applies before the hit that triggers it as per page 268 of the PHB.

And how many of those are offensive? Of course the Cleric is going to have AOEs, but mostly they are to fulfill his role as a leader and buff the party. The Wizard AOEs are attacks and hindrances. Thats the diffirence.

You obviously totally misunderstand the intent of the developers. When you level up you keep gaining new powers. They couldnt have it, or they didnt want it so that you just kept acumulating more and more powers. Therefor, at about mid paragon (13th) when you get a new power, instead of just...

I only play every summer and only then only on the weekends. It looks like this year we might only get to play two or three sessions. I really hope the D&DI game table works well, cause if it does it will definitely solve a lot of problems my group has.

Well according to the DMG it takes about a half hour to start up and a half hour to end. So assuming that an encounter takes about 1 hour, a 6 hour session should get you through about 5 encounters. If you have one of those 6 hour sessions a week it will take you 60 weeks to go from 1st to...

Not according to the DMG, but maybe they just left it out.

I have a problem with wizards automatically possessing a spell books without having to pay for it. The problem is that they then have a lot more money out of that abstract 100 starting gold that they otherwise wouldnt have. I think the a characters total possessions at the start of first level...

But then you have to worry about the kiddies lol

The problem is healing. One can easily make the assumption that being bloodied means that you are physically wounded, and that not being bloodied means that you arent. So if one accepts that as true, it doesnt make sense when a character can go from being bloodied to not being bloodied from a...

Apparently I did, and honestly I still dont see it, but whatever. What brought it to my attention in 3.5 was sneak attack and crits. Personally I see it all as the same problem, and easily explained essentially by ignoring it. It may seem dumb, but from what was written in the 1ed DMG (I...

Now what would have happened if Celia was the one who managed to bring Bob back from unconsciousness with her prayer, and then the warlord yelled at Bob to suck it up, such that Bob is no longer bloodied. Does the wound just stitch itself up because of the warlord? If the bloodied condition...

You singled out 4ed. If you are talking about all of them then complain about D&D as whole, not just 4ed. Call me a fanboy if you wish, but I find it upsetting when people blame the wrong party in an argument. This HP argument is nothing new, yet for some reason people feel the need to blame...

He cant. You must have one piece of ammunition or thrown weapon for each target as per page 270 of the PHB. Now as for how he can do it so faat, ie how he can manage such a feat as throwing 9 daggers each at a separate target, all within a short amount of time, is a different aspect. That is...

Its been like that in every edition of D&D. This is nothing new for 4th edition, so please stop saying that it is.

The attack roll represents an attackers variable chance at harming (with the most looseness of the term) his opponent. AC represents a defenders static ability to defend himself. HP represents how well any given character is doing in combat with regards to staying in the fight. Too much bad...

Well a longbow now does d10 damage, so maybe they did it to keep the damage in check.

Because the monsters that you will be fighting in the dungeon take an additional 20d10 damage when stabbed by short swords. Magic treasure is placed by your DM, therefor everything is at his/her discretion. If your DM knows that you use a short sword and he gives you a longsword either a) its...
