Shame they are both vs fort.

In the early game yes. A bit later and the wizard will still look awesome. Because the wizard is the guy who gets the most status effects. And when you impart a status effect on a solo, its like applying 5 status effects. This is one of the reasons that so many solo monsters spend their extra...

You interrupt the movement in the same way any other immediate interrupt works. The dwarf uses the daily power in the greaves and the monster is moved back until its in a legal space. ed: just like when an enemy is moving through another enemies space and provokes an OA from a fighter, who...

I am playing a fairly unoptimized dwarf wizard(14 dex, 13 con, 16 wis, 12 cha, 16 int) at level 2 and am kicking ass and loving it. Orb specialization that i probably wont get to use for a long long time(character was created before i fully understood how this stuff all works together, and was...

yes, but that is not the way game works. You are using a house rule to justify using the rules incorrectly. 1. This has nothing to do with what you are quoting 2. You are agreeing with me I don't get it The spring loaded system which I used to extract a mechanical benefit that no one else...

each attack roll is an attack. You only get the damage on one target.

You "gain" a healing surge in the same manner you "gain 5 hit points" from the feat toughness.

Schroedinger's Armor Class. An indeterminate AC that depends on what the DM feels like today? Now if you are saying the "which one you put on first" rule applies then you're caving into the rules text which explicitly state you receive no benefit from the second one. Besides the ludicrousness...

What are you going to do with a bunch of iron rings of the dwarf lords? Its not like putting it on gives you an unused healing surge(in which case you would only need once as you would continually be "gaining" healing surges). Its like half of the feat "durable" edit: and yea, it does break...

Player: How much does that ballista weigh? DM: 400 pounds or so. Player: And the base is a 5 foot by 5 foot square roughly with the item sitting a few feet off the ground? DM: Yea? Why Player: Give me 10 minutes, fighter, you hack the base down to size, Cleric, find some big rocks to add some...

And qualifying for the bonus is a property of the cloth armor. Any interpretation that does not completely remove the benefit from a mundane item leads to ridiculous results. Another example which ive used before. Boots of striding, +1 item bonus to speed when wearing light armor or no armor...

This is 4e. You do not receive a penalty for wearing heavy armor, you receive a bonus for wearing light. If you are wearing light armor you add your int/dex to AC If you are wearing heavy armor you do not add your int/dex to AC The sum of +dex/int and 0 is +dex/int. So if you are wearing light...

Walking wounded is actually fantastic. Against melee enemies that are at range, knockdown is as good as a daze. Against a melee enemy, any decently reliably push powers also can become like a daze. E.G. take an enemy with a move of 6. He is 6 squares away and you walking wound him. He falls...

Uhhh. Read page 224 again. The players hand book explicitly agrees with me and explicitly disagrees with those who argue against me. Furthermore those who argue against me support rules that end which, if they are true, necessarily support ridiculous situations such as heavy armor users getting...

If you do not address the specific rules text there isn't much I can do but repeat what I am saying. You are making an argument that has already been debunked. It doesn't matter if the general rule talks about magic items, the specific rule is for all items. Plate armor comes with boots, helmet...

Asked and Answered. Please read the thread before bringing up redundant points unless you have specific grievance with the rational given.

A magical trinket which impedes the use of your shield. Why? Take your pick 1. Its magic, a wizard did it 2. Shields are required to be strapped on and typically held at the hand. These straps do not over the bracers because they are a similar contraption themselves, and there is no way of...

You're right. It does not say that you cannot wear clothes under your full plate armor. It does say that you cannot benefit from clothes under your full plate armor It does not say that you cannot wear a shield and bracers. It does say that you cannot benefit from both a shield and bracers I...

Make it a level appropriate skill challenge and then gloss over the details. Players gain no benefit from an extended rest during the time they are "surviving". Its actually a pretty clever mechanic to deal with traveling. Since most of the time people travel is kinda boring and you might get a...

My argument is nothing of the sort. My argument is that you can only use one item in any slot at a time, my argument is not that using bracers negates the shield. You are perfectly able to use the shield, OR use the bracers. But you cannot use the shield AND the bracers. To change from using the...
