    Cloud of Knives kills minions?

    That is a ridiculous definition, but I'm still waiting on that quote about "Effects". Wish I wasn't at work.

    Cloud of Knives kills minions?

    Mind giving me a quote? I'm AFB at the moment. Customer Service has been known to be wrong before. Can you use Lay on Hands on yourself?

    Cloud of Knives kills minions?

    But if it misses the minion, it does not damage it, as missed attacks never damage minions.

    Cloud of Knives kills minions?

    "A missed attack never damages a minion." Not "A minion does not take damage from the 'Miss:' section of powers." Things like Poison Cloud (or whatever it's called, the 1d10+int) every turn are easier to explain working, if they hit, because a "Missed" attack is an attack that doesn't hit, and...

    Cloud of Knives kills minions?

    Autokill? "A missed attack never damages a minion." Cloud of Knives, on a miss, is a missed attack. Hence, it does not autokill minion. Discuss.

    Arcane Riposte is Useless (Forked: The tragedy of 4th edition.)

    Yeah. I emailed CustServ about it. My answer is to give it +4/+6 in Paragon/Epic tier, as that seems what they're doing with non-proficiencies. And that barely helps, it just makes it make more sense. Being based off of Dex is fine, because a wand wizard will keep their dex within 4 points of...

    Missing 'Psychic' keyword in illusion spells?

    I'd treat it as having the Psychic keyword until things based on Illusions come out, just because it seems to make more sense that way. I didn't even notice that they lacked the Psychic keyword.

    You gain an action point

    I guarantee that they cannot be used in an encounter that you've already used an action point. There is absolutely no reason to believe that. The power grants an action point. That's it. Doesn't let you use it, but the rules do - so the rules override the ... well, made up idea that you can use...

    4e for couples, OMG your GF rolled a char ?!

    My... Aww. I am so alone. :P

    Does a template change a monster's role?

    Look at what it does and treat it appropriately. The players never learn what sort of monster they are - they're just guidelines.

    Large Weapons

    Hi, I just got a cool idea for a character - intelligent, charismatic minotaur warlord. I really like the idea, and have always wanted to play a minotaur, so I think I may just stick with it. Question, though, for someone who has the books: What does the new version of Powerful Build do? Is...

    Is Power Attack still a must?

    It also goes very well with Reaping Strike. A bit of -hit, but you still do SOME damage if you miss. Meh looks good to me on a two handed weapon fighter with a greatsword. But that's it.

    So is this indeed how it works?

    Do they really not have any other cool abilities? Sounds like you're missing something. *fingers crossed*

    The big deal about grapple

    They don't call it grappling anymore because it's never been an even remotely accurate representation of grappling. It's always been more of a clinching thing than a wrestling thing.

    Dodging arrows

    I like the hole... multiple attacks a round. But also, Armor Class is not the same as Reflex Defense. Just because they're both 1d20+x versus y doesn't mean that if X = X the two have exactly the same proficiency and shoot the weapon the same way. A Reflex attack and an Armor one having the...

    D&D 4E making a witch in 4e

    Yes, but cannot bridges also be made out of stoooone?

    How does the monster recharge mechanic work?

    I'd assume end for that very reason. Dragons aren't supposed to be able to breathe a constant stream.
