Now whether they actually did is another thing entirely...

Note that heavy thrown weapons don't do as much damage as bows and have far less range. Using heavy thrown instead of bows is already sub-optimal. Giving them the benefit of being able to use their melee powers without dropping their bow and Quickdrawing two weapons is the silver lining...

I guess we'll have to agree to disagree. "The creature is not dead" seems pretty clear RAW to me.

Some uses of both Nature and Dungeoneering - relating to finding what you need - also take 1 hour.

No. Deific Vengeance, Enervating Smite, Just Action (which isn't even a power)... and those are just in the Paladin section. I'm sure there are others.

No, it isn't. It's against ALL weakened enemies for the entire encounter. Please read what I wrote.

No such thing as magic arrows, any more.

Uh, isn't that exactly what Nature and Dungeoneering do for their respective environments? Answer: Yes, yes it is.

Paladins actually have several as well, and all classes have at least one I believe. The issue is that it's an Encounter power. You don't need to save it for the solo. You can get that +5-8 accuracy bonus for 6 rounds in every fight you ever fight once you get to that level.

IC thread is up. Enjoy! For the record, if anyone dies, replacement characters will be other mercenaries in the Company that have been doing "other jobs".

The tavern is crowded and loud, as usual for evenings in Diamond Harbor. It's a rough town with rough people; you're as likely to meet a smuggler or pirate at the docks as anything else. Still, this particular tavern - the Morning Sun - though busy, has a reputation for being a bad place to...

It's Gather Information + Knowledge: Local, not just GI. It doesn't make sense at all to merge Diplomacy and Knowledge: Local.

Yes, as long as they actually roll dice. You always add feats, enhancements, etc to damage rolls. You only add stat to the damage if told to, though, and you never add anything to flat damage amounts (such as Furious Smash or the secondary attack on Cleave).

I was making a Joan of Arc build last night for fun and came across an oddity in the Warlord's power list. Great Dragon War Cry is a level 23 Encounter power that, in addition to dealing damage and weakening the enemy for a round (fairly standard stuff), also gives a buff to your entire party...

TWF rangers never lose the ability to attack outside of enemy action. Archers can (no more ammo). TWF rangers don't provoke OAs for attacking. Archer rangers do. TWF rangers get access to other feats that increase damage and defenses. Archers don't. TWF rangers get epic-level weapon feats...

Alright, now for the final character review and we can get underway. industrygothica: Initiative should be +3 and Perception should be +9/19 active/passive (Warlord and Elf bonuses). Basic Melee Attack should be +2/1d4-1, I think. I believe negative modifiers still count. Not that it really...

That's a fine house rule, but it directly contradicts rules as written.

It works. I keep toying with the idea of an Eladrin Ranger using the Eladrin Soldier feat and throwing javelins, but honestly it's kind of a weak concept mechanically.

How about just "how many monsters of appropriate level"? Level XP Needed XP/Monster Monsters/Level 2 1000 100 10 3 1250 125 10 4 1500 150 10 5 1750 175 10 6 2000 200 10 7 2500 250 10 8 3000 300 10 9 3500 350 10 10 4000 400 10 11 5500 500 11 12 6000 600 10 13 7000 700...

Not neccesarily. Example from a real game last year: Kidnap/assassination attempt on the queen and princess of the country. The party survived the combat with no losses, but the queen was assassinated when the kidnapper decided there was no chance for him to accomplish his primary mission...
