I'm using decorative glass beads.. But they are expensive, if you don't already own them. Really nice setup there. :P

Proficiencies grant you a bonus to hit. There is no penalty, per-se, for not being proficient. WRT to the wizard/fighter, there is some information that you may also be able to use your sword as an implement, at some stage, though I don't know what the requirements are. I don't believe we've...

We've seen monsters that have surges, but only a few that can trigger them on their own. In regards to the OP, I think races and classes made it clear that Healing Surges were a resource, not a mechanic in and of themselves.

The creature they avoid fighting is probably worth the attempt.

Salt is worth its weight in gold, when you have few, if any, other methods of preservation. And refining and obtaining salt is actually quite a lenghthy and time consuming process. Pepper is also worth mint.

Heh. There's an awesome poster of a guy wearing 'Anti-paladin' armour, which is basically a whole bunch of human babies strapped on.

Nobody else has raised the hand to play a Warlord, in my campaign. I already have an abundance of players, so I've had to massively increase the encounters that are presented in KoTS.. The backstory I'm using has them as part of a Mercenary group, so I think I'll just run myself in as a...

Can't help myself. :P I'm not sure a soldier is a good example of what I would (As above) define as courageous. They could be, yes. But I've no overt need to get into a virtue-comparison-discussion :D

I think this is best handled if you regress the different spirt types to their roots. The new 4e setting is a somewhat ecletic mix of Greek/Welsh/Norse mythologies, and I think it has worked quite well. In that regard, I think Hong is 100% correct.. Dryads, Naids, etc, are *elemental spirits*...

I'll use descriptive wording to make it clear the PC's can interfere, and prevent the damage being dealt to the other PCs.. no idea how I'll treat the Heal. That must be a use described somewhere, and I'm not sure I'm comfortable with it.

I don't like the feel of the challenge, personally. I think it confirms some of Lizards/Celebrim's fears around them. Ah well. See what I can do.

... Lets say, that if I allowed a similiar level of mis-information or incorrect information or simply missing information to be distributed, in my role, I'd quickly not have a job. I applaud those WoTC staff members who post on these boards, clearing up issues and the like. However, that...

They *are* admirable. Just not as good people. Anytime somebody bucks the weight of social convention to do something they believe is necessary and correct, it is admirable. They don't have to be right. This ties into the issue of determining 'evil' and 'good', and hence basing value judgments...

How well-versed are you in Virtue ethics, Celebrim? Courage is a virtue; Specifically, we generally define courage as doing something that we believe is correct regardless of the potential personal cost. I honestly cannot think of a case where that is not a good thing, independant of the...

We can't actually see the characters equipment. I presume, seeing Amulets are the defense bonus area, that the +2 is probably from an amulet providing an AC bonus. The 15 AC armour is staggerinly high, imo. I would also assume that this is an artifact of a foriegn material, but we can...

The Fighter's Combat Challenge that stops an opponent moving if they are hit by an OA (assuming it still exists); I beleive this is not actually an OA, but instead triggers an Immediate Interrupt.

They didn't use an array?

Did we already know about Devestating Critical?

I'm running with Gold being an inherently magical substance, literally used to power magical rituals. For that reason, I won't be discounting rituals, and, in fact, will be tacking on a service charge to most of the ritual prices. In any case, as mentioned, Sister Linora does know Raise Dead...

Just to re-iterate. Cure Light Wounds does not activate a Healing Surge. It simply heals an amount equal to a healing surge, plus a small modifier dependant bonus.
