I would call someone bound and gagged helpless, which definitely does inhibit spell casting. I'd expect you could coup de grace a tied down person as well.

Hrms. I'd rule they keep all the spells in their spellbook and simply add new ones. Pick among what you got! Maybe I'm just a big softy though. :)

If you miss with a power that has a Sustain effect, can you sustain it next round? Or does the ability to Sustain require a hit to take affect?

Man, 4E is definitely :cool:. Suffice to say, I like it a lot! So I think I'm pretty settled on playing a Rogue as my first character. As a friend of mine commented, I always like playing the "dex-monkey". That said, looking at the new rules, I find myself thinking again and again of spending...

Arcane, I'd say. In fact, I think the designers have referred to the Bard as an Arcane Leader.

Here's a question from a guy sitting at work without his books to those sitting somewhere with them. How dare you make me so jealous of you? :P Ok ok, real question. Is there Weapon Finesse still? Or is this built into certain weapons? Or is this simply built into certain class powers? A friend...

Cool! Thanks for clarifying that for me (I'd likely have forgotten to check by the time I make it home from work today!)

Eh. They aren't THAT setting specific. I mean, sure your world doesn't have Bahamut. But if you have some kind of LG defender of the weak type god, giving their followers the ability to take Bahamuts Channel Divinity feat (changing the name to Armor of WhatsHisFace) seems like cake to me. To...

I think I saw a writeup for a Basic Attack as an At-Will power somewhere in the combat chapter. Look for the tell-tale green highlighting. Although I hadn't realized they went up to 2[W] as well. So I'll be. Epic Characters are apparently made of win!

Re: Warlord's Inspiring Word, it is exactly the same as Healing Word, as far as I remember. For rituals, you have to take a feat to be able to use them (the feat requires training in Arcana or Religion, so multiclassing into Cleric/Wizard helps out). Wizards start with a few Rituals known (and...

Hehe. Nice scene. Re: domains, no sign of anything like it. However, each god had a feat that gives a worshipper a different use for their Channel Divinity ability. The KotS Cleric has the one for Bahamut, for example.

I don't really think Clerics have that much history as ranged weapon users in the first place. On my brief skim through the books, only the Rogue and Ranger had ranged weapon powers. Other classes had melee weapon powers and ranged spell attacks. Of course, as splats come out, I wouldn't be...

I know the multiclass rules get a lot of dislike piled on them, but to be honest I like them a lot. What you have to keep in mind though, is that taking a multiclass feat isn't going to let you perform as a full member of that class. That being the case though, I think you could make some pretty...

Not in any recognizable form. There are feats that allow you to alter your magic in ways that may have been metamagic in 3E, but they're always on and cost nothing (except for the feat slot to pick them, I suppose) Note that none of these feats give bonuses anywhere near what 3E's metamagic...

A lot of Fighter powers have Weapon tags on them like "Weapon : If you use a light blade or spear with this attack shift Int square instead of 1" Note I just pulled that out of thin air ... each weapon group actually has a stat associated with it, and I'm not even sure if any of them use Int...

Perhaps I'm misreading your post, but just to clarify: Cleric's Healing Word and Warlord's Inspiring Word DO scale with level. I think they go to +2d6 healing at 6th, and follow some progression or other. As for the other classes, no idea. I'm at work (boring!) and can't check. :)

Clerics don't get any ranged weapon powers, but they have plenty of ranged attack spells. I'm not sure specifically what you'd like out of the build, but I'd advise that, as RAW stands, you have to start as a Ranger to take any of the Ranger PPs. Edit: Looking at your post, I notice you say you...

All At-Wills scale somewhat (generally improving to 2[W] at Epic). Cleric and Warlord Healing Word abilities scale as well. As for Fighter/Paladin/Wizard, I can't think of anything off hand. Maybe someone with the books handy can check.

Note that Fighters themselves only get +1 constantly. To give that to someone multiclassing into Fighter might leave poor 'ole Regdar feeling left out in the cold.
