So you're automatically assuming that y = 0. Still not the same thing. But obviously we're on different wavelengths here. If you're convinced that powers which target objects being allowed to target the ground means that all (or just many) powers which target creatures can also target the...

I'm not CapnZapp, but I agree with you. The skill doesn't say that it avoids OAs, and allowing it to do so devalues the few powers that allow you to do things like that (such as Tumble). I'd probably allow a higher DC (say +5 or +10) if the player wanted to also avoid OAs. Failure might also...

Force Orb says it targets objects. If the ground is an object, Force Orb can target it. a black dragon's breath weapon targets creatures. If the ground is an object, it can't target it unless the GM adds another step to his decision making process. So yes, they're similar. But no, one does not...

That's wholeyunrelated to an ability that specifically says it targets objects, and is completely up to the GM to decide. One does not necessitate the other.

I've done it. The NPCs weren't too complicated, though one of them barely got to use any powers because she was dropped so fast. Ifg you do it, don't have a lot of other monsters in the encounter. When I ran it the NPCs were lower level then the PCs and backed up by a bunch of other creatures...

There are some alchemical ammunitions in AV.

It depends on the situation. If you've just killed the gate guards for a lair of intelligent humanoids and want to sit and wait, you're almost guaranteed to get attacks unless you find somewhere to hide first. If you just killed a bear in the woods and plop down on a log beside the corpse...

What is the party makeup? If there's a nuker cleric in the group it's fine, or if there's a couple of leaders, a paladin, or other multiple methods of healing. A wizard that constantly memorizes Resistance would also help. On a seperate level, why is the death knight a lich? Liches are usually...

What are you talking about? Nobody said anything about increasing the range of powers by targetting objects. Not to mention that a blue dragon's breath specifically targets creatures. No wonder you think its broken, if you're reading nonsense into it like that.

Thunderwave is your friend in this fight, as is anything else that could push or pull the dragon into the open.

Recharge powers are not encounter powers, so they don't count. But like Firelance, I don't see a problem with allowing it, though if some crazy combo appeared because of it I wouldn't use it. But for general purposes, it's probably ok. I definitely wouldn't use it on recharge powers that allow...

There's a huge difference between "some free actions say they can be used in the middle of another action" and "all free actions can interrupt other actions."

Unless you can explain why it's an exploit, we'll have to disagree on that. But I am curious about one thing. If it's a waste of an encounter power to use it that way, how and why are your monsters going to start using the "exploit" to their advantage?

It's not a matter of doing it in someone else's turn, but interrupting another action. Free actions can do the former, but not the latter.

What if they're blowing up a door in the middle of afight and there are enemies adjacent to the door? Do you not allow it at that point, and make them wait until the fight is over before they can attack the object? Where is this "intended effect" documented?

It's not an interrupt, so it can't interrupt another action. If it were an interrupt, you couldn't use it on your own turn.

That still doesn't explain why you would want to use multiple second winds in between encounters. Though with MP there's probably some reasons to do it. There's a lot of things in there that affect your second wind, but I don't remember if any of them change the healing or give another useful...

In cyclic initiative and a system that measures things based on turns instead of rounds there's effectively no such thing as going last after the first round. You may be last in the round, but you're always going before the first person in the next round. Once everyone has gone once, you're...

You can occupy the same size as an enemy if they're two size categories different than you.

You'd have to cut and paste them into Word or print them one at a time.
