That's another good way to describe to describe damage on a miss. In that case, you can easily make a good argument that Frost wouldn't apply because you're not even hitting the guy, just wearing him down (speaking purely about the fluff that is). However, do note that minions never take...

If your other player is looking to mark a bit more, or just misses the multi-marking abilities of the Warden, remind him that Fighters mark all targets of their attacks, whether they hit or miss. This is one of the reasons why I love my Dragonborn Fighter...marking every enemy that my Close...

Yeah, that's sort of how I view it as well, and I play a Fighter. Basically, combat rounds are a bit of an abstraction anyway. When you make a melee basic attack it's not one single swing in the 6 second round, it's more of a flurry of attacks, one of which connects. With the Fighter, that...

Not really. Even if it's a free action, it must meet the trigger of the cultist being dropped to 0HP, which means it can happen instantly after that trigger is met. Since applying damage is usually the last part of resolving an attack, the critter is still gonna die after he does his death...

Twin Strike is a power, so I don't see how that has anything to do with this. So is Sweeping Blow, which would do DEX mod on a miss. Powers aren't "benefits" in that sense, it's just describing how an attack works. As for a cold weapon though, it's changing the properties of your weapon, in...

Yes, all defenses boosts you AC so you can take a good hit to armor, and your other defenses as well so you can suck it up and take a hit to the NAD's.

Dear lord...I wish they would just errata Iron Vanguard and Draconic Arrogance to fix this issue. It's obviously an "either or" statement and only meant to be applied once, but (supposedly) ambiguous wording has spawned so many threads here and the WotC boards it's ridiculous. Personally, I...

One thing to note though is that some of the multiclass feats have the requirement that you're Paragon Multiclassing into the second class. For example, there's a feat in Martial Power that gives you the entire Combat Superiority class feature of the Fighter (+WIS to OA's, stop movement on a...

As I noted before, he gets that twice a day by using two dailies, which the Fighter can do too (Villain's Menace adds +2 to hit and +4 damage). As for Rough Strike, that's an encounter power...so what. The Fighter has Sweeping Blow, Rain of Blows, etc...all at the same level. And what's...

There are rules on p281 of the PHB for "Targeting what you can't see" that apply to the conversation here. For one, if the enemy is using his minor to turn invisible, standard to attack, and then using his move to turn invisible again, the PC's don't even really need to beat the Stealth check...

No, you can't take the power swap feats multiple times. So you can't take Novice Initiate twice in order to get two Druid powers. The only way to get access to more powers from the second class is to take a Paragon Path from that class, or Paragon Multiclass. As for the second part, I'm not...

To further elaborate, multiclassing gives you access to everything that the new class has. This means that you meet the requirements for feats, powers, paragon paths and epic destinies. In the example case you gave of a Cleric mc-ing into Druid, that would work just fine. Assuming you're...

Ah, true, I neglected to include that. Yes, things like Iron Armbands of Power won't work, as chitzk0i pointed out, but the rest will. This only serves to further increase the damage that Rain of Steel is pumping out each round. Point being that a similarly optimized Fighter will keep up...

You know, if you're gonna make a thread about how Wardens are overpowered, at least have the decency to actually read the responses. 2d6+18 is not an accurate comparison here. As Mengu pointed out: Now, when you're comparing the Warden in a Guardian form, he gets +6 damage on a hit, which...

I play a STR/CON Dragonborn Greatweapon Fighter in a group with a STR/CON Longtooth Shifter Earthstrength Warden, and I don't see the "overpowered" aspect that you are. I outdamage our Warden since I'm going with a two handed Execution Axe versus his Khopesh and Shield. Granted, he could go...

I'd have to agree with DracoSuave. There are powers which specifically say "your next attack roll", so they could've put that here if that was their intent (or perhaps "your next successful attack roll"). Since they didn't, I would assume that they wanted this to be a really nasty thing that...

Do you by chance have a copy of the DMG 2? If not, you should try to get a hold of one, as there's an excellent section on alternative rewards. For example, say you have a Fighter with a Longsword that's been passed down in his family for 7 generations and he wants to use it for the life of...

I think the feat was mostly put there for folks who wanted a themed character. Since Fire resistance is the most common resistance in the game, it makes sense for it to be the one with the associated feat (although maybe we'll see more in the future). The point at which this feat might really...

The problem is that you're kind of comparing apples to oranges. There are no monsters with a vulnerability to untyped damage, it's just that there's not much resistance to it. As such, saying that typed damage needs to be damage by sweeping vulnerabilities won't necessarily fix anything...

Well, you could try making one of your own! Awhile back my group did a one-off with one of the normal PC's DMing for the group. He decided to have us pick from a selection of Goblinoid races out of the back of the MM so that we could go out and pillage a human village. I rolled up a nifty...
