I bet that Archer was really wishing that he had Distant Advantage. :p

Yeah, I would like to see that too. From what Nail is saying, it seems that he feels that failure is not a real option, and that the whole "continue on now and it will be easier, rest up to get powers/surges back will make it harder" choice is a non-choice. If so, what other choice can you...

Well, besides the other reasons mentioned, another is that certain classes just aren't built for getting a lot out of charging every round. Since it's an MBA, it uses STR unless you take the Melee Training feat, so it's not the best option for Rogues. Fighters don't get that much benefit out...

That's not really how readied actions work. They won't all go "at the same time". When you ready an action, it essentially functions as an immediate interrupt on the readying trigger, moving your initiative to right in front of the triggering event. For example, I ready a charge for when an...

Yes, but those factors can also eliminate any sort of flanking if used correctly. After all, you can't flank someone standing in a corner, can you?

CapnZapp: In this thread you haven't gone into a lot of detail, but you've outlined the numerous feats you'll be banning in another, so it's fair game to say you went on a "banning spree" with the PHB 2 feats. As for this feat. First off, yes, against a single medium opponent only two people...

Then really, it's not the players that are the problem, it's you. You've created this need for a "healing nova" by forgoing the easier encounters in favor of only "interesting" ones. Since those "interesting" encounters are designed to create tension by being likely to drain HP, then the...

The rule is not that bonuses stack. It's that bonuses from the same source/type don't stack. So, you can't get the bonus from something like Sacred Flame twice, because it's the same source. You also can't get two typed feat bonuses to damage, because they're typed. So, in the case you...

Oh, no, I know where all the feats he's talking about came from. I've seen some of the Gladiator stuff before. I was specifically talking about the Martial Power 2 excerpt, because usually they put all of the excerpts and previews in the products section of the D&D main page and you don't need...

Well, if the DM will insult me because of my playstyle and runs his table like a dictatorship then it won't be a problem because I won't play. Plus, maybe you're not reading the same posts I am. The reason I have a problem with that DM style is because usually it comes from a person just like...

Sorry, I just gotta comment on that one. I own pretty much everything Lovecraft has ever published. I even spent like $75 to get a limited edition (like 1 or 1,000, or 2,000, I foget) copy of Winter Wish. I've read both the Annoted Lovecraft books by ST Joshi, as well as his Annoted...

Sorry. I would say B. My post was basically trying to say in a roundabout way that the At-Wills sort of screw up some of those abilities. I think it's better to just not apply them there when they'll mess things up, and leave them for other abilities that slide. Since you're talking about a...

I'm sorry, I just had to say something about this. My Eladrin Greatspear Fighter that I made for a one-shot was freaking awesome. He could teleport through the enemy line, hit the two back row controllers and send them each flying 5 squares in different directions and then shift 5 squares back...

Yeah, this is kind of what I figured too. If you had the DEX, for example, you could pick up the Ranger and Rogue MC feats and then have access to both Quarry and Sneak Attack once per encounter. Combine with the Barb or the Sorcerer feats, and you could potentially really up your damage with...

Where is this excerpt? I checked the D&D site's excerpt archive, but the only new stuff I saw was the stuff from Arcane Power. Is this one DDI only? Or at least DDI early?

Asking for a houserule is not the same as saying "Hey, can I use something from the official source book?" One is asking for something extra, the other is asking for something that's assumed to be there...until a DM takes it away. What's your point? Honestly, who cares what he said. Gygax...

Comparisons to previous editions aside, the idea of the Dragon auto-killing 3rd level PC's doesn't make a lot of sense just in general. Dragons are creatures of myth and legend that have stories told about them in many cultures. Many of these stories are about so-called "Dragon Slayers". So...

@Celebrim: Here's why you're not getting Hussar's point... I'm not totally familiar with the other systems you mentioned, but I'm guessing Elves aren't an "official" race in Call of Cthulu and that Wizards aren't an "offical" class in Spycraft. Am I right? If so, then all you're saying "no"...

http://www.enworld.org/forum/d-d-4th-edition-rules/249967-ritual-index-up-feb-2009-a.html That's the thread that you're probably thinking of. It was updated to February of 2009, so I don't know if it's anything new since last you've seen it. Subscribe to the thread though and you'll get...

The problem here is not with the weapon property, that's fine, but with the Fighter powers. Normally, when you're pushing or sliding someone, the game doesn't care where they go. That's the point, it gives players choices about things. The problem with the Fighter powers is that they do make...
