Schrodinger's Minion? Seriously though, that seems like a good idea.

So your solution is power creep? ;)

I assume you're talking about "Fighter Weapon Talent"? You may want to re-read the description. It says a fighter gets a +1 bonus to attack rolls, not damage. The +1 to attack is part of the fighter's +6 attack with the maul. It's an at-will power (meaning you can use it multiple times in...

I doubt it. In the Worlds and Monsters preview book it says that the designers considered and specifically rejected building a full default setting in favor of the points of light concept.

There's a copyright notice on the cover. It's hard to see though. Towards the bottom, just to the right of the lighter brown strip.

Daily attack powers and a Utility power that can be used daily aren't the same thing. Utility powers are a separate type that get their own progression alongside At-will, Encounter, and Daily powers. We've seen utility powers that can be used once per encounter and ones that can be used once...

You know, back around the time 3e came out, I seem to recall people saying that it was basically a point-buy system dressed up as a level based system.

Yeah, but there's only so much you can do in 25 pages of rules material (and 10 pages of that is the character sheets).

More like judging a book based on the Cliff Notes.

Yep. I missed that one (I was just running through the conditions list).

In addition to flanking, a creature also grants combat advantage when it's blinded, dazed, helpless, prone (vs. melee attacks), restrained, stunned, or surprised. Not to mention the fact that a bunch of powers seem to grand combat advantage directly.

Well, according to Bestopheles:

I believe it's dragonborn that no longer have tails.

Well, the encounter is supposed to be balanced without the skill challenge (the skill challenge is an extra, after all). If the skill challenge was easily achievable it would make the encounter easier.

Well, it is described as a level 6 skill challenge. I'm not surprised that 3rd level characters (by that point in the adventure) would have a hard time beating it.

According to the table on page 11 of the KotS Adventure Book, it's a flat -2 to attack rolls.

Hey, even if you're not a wizard, all you've got to do is take the feat.

Well, right now we've got 8 classes and 17 skills. Some skills probably aren't gettable using multiclass feats.

I think the Leaf on the Wind power from the new Tiefling Warlord pregen provides a nice example of how a power could get you out of this (a first level power, no less). Leaf on the wind allows you to switch places with an enemy on a successful hit (as well as pasting them for 2d8+3). So, use...
