So uh ... wasn't the May Update supposed to be yesterday? No update showing when I boot the Builder, and checking the calendar, I don't see one listed any more (I know! I saw one just last week when I looked :confused:). Was the update dropped for this month? :eek:

So last night our party's Wizard dropped down a Wall of Fog, eliciting the question: What does "blocks Line of Sight" really mean? I remember a pretty hefty discussion of this on these boards sometime ago, but my search-fu is weak. :( Essentially, this things seem clear to me (feel free to...

Aye aye Captn Kitty! :)

Yes; I actually had a backup copy of the file we made her printout from and upon loading it even it decremented all her damage by 1 point. Further testing this morning makes me think the recent update borked the calculations on Tempest damage. I made a quick Tempest using two shortswords; again...

Dual-Strike is a Fighter power that is similar to Twin Strike; make two weapon attacks that deal 1[W] damage, no stat mods. As for feats, she leveled to 3rd and thus did not gain any new feats (nor did she retrain any). I'd think we have been doing it wrong, but I have a printout clearly showing...

So my wife currently has a Tempest Fighter using a Doublesword in my game and was leveling up her character last night when we noticed a change in how the Builder was adding her bonuses. Previously, her Dual Strike At-Will was swinging twice for 1d8+2, since she is in Light Armor and wielding...

I'd second the recommendation for Battle Awareness, a Fighter multiclass. Note that with the Tempest build Fighters now have a fair shake of powers involving dual-wielding. And since all Fighter powers use Str you're already setup to use them effectively. If you use a light blade, spear, or...

I do like the idea of a bunch of chillborns clustering together, slowly freezing each other solid though. I'm kinda sorry I didn't think of it before. :]

First off, a quick question. In 3E, I remember there were some details re: how much a caster would charge to cast a spell for the party, if they didn't have anyone who could do it themselves. Does 4E have similar guidelines for rituals? Or do you think just charging the price of a scroll is...

I'm not sure all of the Close Burst powers should be Target: Any creature. Doesn't a Monk have enough control of his attacks to not punch his buddy in the face, even when he goes all Tazmanian devil?

Indeed you can! Which corresponds pretty closely to what I was about to ask: for overland travel purposes, what if my Monk with the Jumping ability (something Crane?) wants to use that overland? Distance jumped isn't limited by his movement so you could possibly get some good additional movement...

If the Full Discipline tech is At-Will, you can use it At-Will. Essentially, the wording is funny because they don't want anyone to blow one of the Encounter Fill Discipline powers, then try to double move using the move tech. As an aside, wasn't there a book in the 3E era that explicitly...

Why would the default assumption be that a feat presented without any prereqs has prereqs that were simply not included?:-S

If anyone would be so willing, can you provide me a brief run down on the rules for enchanting a double weapon? I vaguely remember rules in AV re: the matter; something about only one end getting the enchantment or something? I'd look it up myself but my copy isn't available at the moment and...

I think the real question is what will the Player's Guides for the new settings bring. I don't think we'll see anymore Martial/Arcane/Divine/Primal classes in the PHs (for a while, at least) But what will the 2010 setting introduce? 2011? Dark Sun could give us the Gladiator back. Dragonlance...

Hmm, interesting question. We knew what was going to be in the PHB II for the most part for a long while, but the PHB III is much more of a mystery. Since the four power sources we have are pretty much done (assumedly) we first have no clue what power sources (or even how many) show up in PHB...

Quick and easy Q for you guys. A Paladin has a Boneshard Skeleton (or some other monster that explodes upon death) marked. The creature attacks someone else when it has few enough hit points that the Paladins mark will kill it. Does it explode before or after its attack completes? That is, does...

Except that just doesn't hold in practice. The Ranger has a proficiency bonus and magic item bonuses enhancing his ability to hit. The beast has ...? For my Beastmaster Ranger that just died last night (:.-() my Ranger swung with a +13 basic attack, my beast with a +12. Meanwhile, my Ranger did...

I didn't say I absolutely would, just that I could probably be swayed. :) It is of dubious balance, largely for the fact that (as you point out) most classes have to go pretty far to really get any mileage out of the ability to use one-handed weapons in the off-hand, whereas a Beast Ranger (or...

I have to agree with Obryn. I probably could be swayed to let you take a feat to get the ability back though; non-Rangers are able to take a feat and gain the ability after all ...
