Yeah, the same snippet is used in the bulletpoint just below it. Looks like a legitimate editing error.

EDIT: Whoops, see below post.

It's kinda funny. Both the PHB and DMG insist that people flying around on hippogriffs is totally a thing in 4e - a flavor line about dwarven hippogriff cavalry, a suggested "fantastic flavor" tidbit in the DMG of hippogriff stables for a city that the wealthy use... ...but you still can't buy...

This line sure makes sense! :D Seems like it originally said something else and then was edited to "If you roll 20 or higher but have no healing surges left, your condition doesn't change" without actually removing the inappropriate text.

I think it might have had a name at some point, even - I seem to recall one of the early Character Visualizer screenshots having a third, new campaign setting alongside Forgotten Realms and Eberron.

I suppose those could have made it into my list, but it's pretty obvious how to adjudicate those - the ability description states that it deals normal sling damage, plus the below effect. Assumedly it thus deals normal sling damage, plus the effect...

That (much like whips - the closest thing to a whip in 4e is the spiked chain, which isn't really very much like a whip at all...) is a strange issue, because spears cannot be thrown, and why I wrote up tridents as a totally new weapon in my houserules. For a minor book quote, uh... bah, it's a...

The fact that they're floating test balloons means that they give a crap about what the fanbase thinks. That's... kind of obvious.

I think my players would look at me with a look somewhere between confusion and horror if I informed them that a sahaugin's trident or a banshrae's blowgun was magic that didn't seem to work unless you were a sahuagin or banshrae, or suggested that they were valid targets for the Disenchant Item...

I dunno, I'm not sure why it had to be an epic feat myself, but hey.

I was clearly drunk when I initially posted, as I meant "one at level 11, two at level 21". I must have been amazingly drunk, since I certainly don't recall drinking any alcoholic beverages, but yet I still posted that line!

Per my other thread, there are a whoooole bunch of weapons in the Monster Manual that don't have stats in the PHB equipment list. Worst of them is the scourge (which deals 1d6 damage with, as far as I can tell, no special features or reach - nice whip, dude), since you can derive stats for...

Just wanted to point out that, in the print books, rings aren't restricted to one per handby tier in 4e, and Golden Wyvern Adept became an epic-tier feat called Spell Accuracy that did the same thing. Never say the fanbase rising up and collectively declaring something terrible won't have an...

I'm not sure what is "close" to a whip that is not a whip. If I was to judge by monster stats, it would do 1d6 damage and not be a reach weapon (?!), but that seems wrong. Their whip is also always on fire, so perhaps some bonus would be in order, but that could be handwaved away as the...

I'm thinking I'd do that with things like Githyanki silver swords, the dragonhide armor, bone breastplate, and shadowmail, and skull maces, but it's a bit of a question with something like a scourge, blowgun, trident, or pincer staff where the item is not in the equipment lists at all, or the...

So, uh, about monsters with fancy equipment in 4e. I'll admit I haven't had the time to sit down and fully read every page of all three corebooks as that is a lot of text, and I've unwisely spent my time doing things like making fun of all of the terrible monster names in the Monster Manual...

I hated the monster creation system in 4e at first, but that's because my brain was still stuck in 3.5e mode, where they had introduced pseudo-classed monsters in the most recent monster manuals, and that sucked, because it was going directly against one of the core concepts of 3.5e D&D. So when...

...but 4e D&D is WotC's, not White Wolf's. (sorry)

We raised a big stink about this a month or two back and had it confirmed that regular folk do indeed have (a fixed number of) healing surges.

arscott> I'm not sure a race with Str and Con bonuses is "legal", nor one with penalties of any sort, nor +4 bonuses to any stat. T-T-TRIPLE FAIL... maybe. We'll have to see how the design guidelines for 4e actually shake out there. I mean, for 3e we had some designers insisting that no player...
