According to cust serv, both Healer's Lore & Beacon of Hope stack on Melora's Tide until the end of the encounter, adding to the regen every round. I'd think that if it works for Melora's Tide, it also works for Divine Power. But, most STR clerics are unlikely to have very high WIS and are...

A human of any class could take the Ritual Caster feat as well; so could an Eladrin.

This makes Nimble Strike (the rogue at will that lets you shift 2 + attack) quite potent. You can move behind total cover, hide, then Nimble Strike out to get an attack with CA.

In that case Healing Word doesn't qualify either. Thanee -- I'll drop them another note next weekend and point out the issue as a possible item to errata.

Here's the final exchange with CUST SERV, for what it's worth. ME: CUST SERV:

Hey, I'm the player in question. Here's the CUST SERV Q&A. I just asked for clarification, but hey, its CUST SERV, so... Yeah. Not too hopeful. Their response: Here's the book text for a few things in question: HEALER'S LORE CHANNEL DIVINITY MELORA'S TIDE (PHB 199) This is a "feat power."...

I think the lack of a striker in the OP's group may have hurt. I've found in actual play that encounters go pretty easily if the party takes a mindset of supporting the striker as the number one priority. The striker dishes out much more damage than anyone else, so if the defenders are being...

Cost: Same as a healing potion of the same level Standard Action <> Range 5 (Can use long range like a thrown weapon) Fire Keyword Dex vs. Reflex Hit: Deal the Limited Medium Damage expression from the DMG for the level of the item + Ongoing Fire 1 per level of the item (Save Ends) So, your...

Out of character problems deserve out of character solutions.

Moradin's resolve at first looks sucky -- spend a feat to get +1 over Divine Fortune? Lame! But, a second look shows that Moradin's Resolve gives the bonus until the end of your next turn. That lets you get the +2 bonus to hit three times (if spending an AP), not just once with the Divine...

If you don't want PCs to autosurrender (which isn't much fun, or in the spirit of the "fewer Save or Die sort of powers") then you could impose a condition (Save Ends) on them. Perhaps Weakened would be appropriate, as the character is seized with indecision; it will also lead them to favor...

BTB, when stunned, you cannot take any actions. What would the consequences be of allowing one to (A) spend action points to take a single action or (B) allowing one to take a Minor action while stunned? Being stunned is no fun for players, because they don't do anything at all. Also, it...

Read the 1E PHB discussing "successful adventures" in the back of the book. Evil characters definitely discouraged.

I would first follow the NPC level bonus guidelines for bonuses to attacks, damage, etc. That takes care of your essentials. The other bonus provided by Magic Items is choices and options. Do you want to use a Frost sword or Fire Sword? Bag of Holding or some other misc magic item? You...

Here's the scenario: Our wizard casts sleep, the foe then fails two saves (correction: ONE save) and goes unconscious. An ally runs up and delivers a coup de grace on the sleeping enemy. Does the enemy: (A) Wake up immediately; they are prone, however. (B) Get a new save to stop the...

Its great for forcing foes to provoke OA from your meatshields.

I'm all in favor of playing the baddies smart, but it can create a vicious cycle. PROBLEM: After a moderate or tough encounter, the players burn through too many resources (healing surges, dailies, etc) and go rest. The monsters take advantage of the time to reinforce their numbers, make...

Does anyone have a plain text character sheet that would be suitable for use in a PbP or RPOL sort of game? Thanks!

Role playing is all well and good, but if you start with less than a 16 in your key attack stat, yes, it will be painful. You don't necessarily need a 20 or 18, but if your concept is of a mildly dull, cute and bumbling wizard with 12 INT and 16 CHA you'll be playing a.... mildly dull...

Adding an NPC fighter meatshield could work nicely. Use the "building an NPC" rules. Basically, he gets ability scores, an AC, and 1 at will, encounter, and daily power. He'll suck 100 XP per encounter while he's level 1. Either reduce the treasure IAW the DMG guidelines, or have the NPC...
