In my game a player started an archer ranger with 15 Dex (16 now at level 5). The double attack seems to compensate for the relatively low base attack and she manages to apply her Hunter Quarry almost every turn. The player definately doesn't think that her character sucks. Then again, the...

I think he should be at 18 HP, as usual when healed from a negative number.

It's a houserule, but its quite reasonable. Its kinda weird to have a buddy petrified or desitegrated faster, because you tried to help him. Also, races like hobgoblins that get free saves logically should be more resistant to such effects, not taken down by them quicker.

Here is my take on these: 1. You can't walk through a square with a prone enemy, unless he is helpless or 2 sizes different from you (PHB 183, "Occupied squares") 2. You can make attacks of opportunity as normal while prone (edit: with the -2 penalty, of course) 3. You can make attacks of...

This is exactly my reasoning about question 3. (edit: this was meant as a reply for the post before the previous one)

Thanks for the answer. Can you point me to the clarification about conjurations and flanking, because I couldn't find it in the errata I have?

I had cleave and also tide of iron (human fighter). Surprisingly, I didn't use them way more often than sure strike.

Here are some rules questions that popped up in our recent game. I will be grateful for your opinion on them. 1. A Ranger is using Spitting Cobra stance (Martial Power, page 47). If an enemy within 5 squares shifts closer to him, does he get an opportunity attack against him (does shifting...

In the climactic final fight of the last campaign I played as a player, my (one-handed) fighter was the only one that dropped unconscious (and the only one seriously wounded for that matter). Guess I did my job as a defender :) If he was a battlerager, even with a con modifier +2, he probably...

You usually can't use attack powers as opportunity attacks, unless for some reason they count as basic attacks. I recently played a fighter and I used careful attack (sure strike) quite often. Usually to hit a minion or creature that is very low on HP. On topic: I think that the problem with...

In my game I just ruled that even if the players try to knock an enemy unconscious, they will not always suceed doing so in the chaos of battle. At the end of the battle they find out if they managed to keep the enemy alive, or he died (as determined by the DM for story reasons). This is a...

Just a clarification - battlerager's temporary HP are gained every time he is hit by an enemy with a melee or close attack, after the attack resolves. So he will not gain temporary HP if he is hit with a ranged or area attack (and yes, along with the other benefits the ability does seem very...

How does Spellscarred work? No need to spell it exactly, I am just curious about the new multiclass mechanics.

The sheet is very nice. However it would be great if you make a shortened version and manage to fit everything, including powers, on 2 pages. Everyone in my playgroup prefers to use a single 2-sided sheet.

Funny that the paladin mark remains the same (and we were specifically told it was changed). Perhaps the correction is in the description of the marking that would be in the PHB, not in the power.

Something that often gets overlooked is that the Ranger can add his damage only once per round, while the Warlock may do it every time he hits (he may hit several times, for instance if he uses an action point or with AOO).

...and so you have a harder time to hit. It seems like he is messing your day and you would be better off if you give him a warning to avoid the -2 penalty.

Thank you very much for the clarification.

Yes it does. However I can also see a kind of logic in the opposite - if my ally stands between me and a monster I am trying not to hit him, if another monster stands between us, I just don't care... And the wording is kinda ambiguous, at least to me.

From the 4th edition rules primer: "Cover - If an enemy has cover, you get a -2 penalty to attack rolls against it. Your allies don't provide cover, but enemies do." Does the second sentence mean "your allies don't provide cover to you" or "your allies don't provide cover to your enemy"? Can...
