Everybody past a certain point in 3/3.5 D&D had a cloak of resistance. That bonus to saves was just too necessary to pass up. ETA: In GURPS (4e, at least) there are rules for using cloaks defensively. Given the system's basis in realism, it probably counts as warm clothing or what have you.

He's probably a minion in the sense of "Please, no, that hurts so bad!" or "I have kids, don't hurt me!" i.e. gets cut and plays dead.

Stowing a shield is a standard action because there are straps securing it to your arm. Dropping it is a free action only after you've taken the standard action to un-equip it.

What Nifft means is "Not anymore."

you won't find it written anywhere because the rules don't work that way. The default position is that no one can use an implement for any powers. However, each implement-using class has a class ability that says you can use implements X, Y, and Z with your powers from that class. Paladins...

I'm not aware of any way to get more than one immediate action. Like you said, it's the biggest limiting factor on your build.

What if he's in a dungeon with 15 foot ceilings? What if the door slams shut behind him?

I know that in 3E it was in every errata document.

Anybody got any news about ESTF?

I don't think the Magic psychographics fit D&D exactly, but there is some truth to them. The profiles are expressions of some basic motivations that pop up in D&D as well as Magic. As for "dumber than horoscopes": people pick powers for a reason. Trying to figure out those reasons is not...

No, you have to wait until you're actually hit.

Doesn't the DMG recommend treating as dead almost all monsters reduced to zero? Aside from that, I'd probably just say the aura stops for simplicity. Besides, once the PCs see an unconscious creature with an aura still going, they'd probably coup de grace it.

Acrobatics is the only skill to avoid the damage? I feel sorry for anybody in plate+shield in your party. This really sounds more like a trap or hazard. I think it would work better if you made it fire damage if you move more than three squares in a round without making an acrobatics check.

"Having to read all that"? Unless they're DMing, they don't need to know anything in the DMG or MM. They don't even need to read everything in the PHB! They don't need to know any other class' powers or any other race's information. Plus, they only need to know the text of magic items they...

If the party all takes it. If you play LFR with a rotating group or if you just can't get an ally to give up a feat slot, then it's just a regular feat.

The PHB does say that you have to "rest" during a short rest, but it doesn't say you have to stop and do absolutely nothing. The text is vague enough that you could probably take a short rest while walking through a dungeon as long as you aren't hustling. Given that, just about the only thing...

If you have a ritual caster, you can make it using the Enchant Magic Item ritual in the back of the PHB. However, if you have the money, you should be able to just buy it in a large enough settlement. All your question will be answered by page 223 of the PHB.

Technically, no. The gargoyle is not helpless, so no coup de grace. If your players ask why, tell them his anatomy is different now that he's in stone form, so there's no throat to crush or heart to stab Technically, no, but if you want to let him, go ahead. If I was inclined to allow it, I'd...

If a bonus--for instance, an enhancement bonus--says "a bonus to damage rolls", then you apply it whenever you roll dice for damage. Static damage is the only time you don't add modifiers.

The trigger is "ally makes a basic attack". If they haven't rolled, then they haven't made the attack, and the power hasn't triggered yet.
