    Powers outside of combat?

    You cannot sustain for more than 5 minutes. Many attack powers including movement are very useful outside combat, too.

    Teleportation at level 1

    Simple houserule: You cannot teleport, polymorph or phase while bound in irons. Solves the problem, classic, too.

    Still no Power format for the curse.

    Bladesinger Preview!

    Note that the rules for MC implements were changed again after Essentials. Now you either are proficient with an implement or you are not. Restriction to class and paragon powers is gone. So Cleric, Paladin and Avenger offer Holy Symbol just fine. Monk and Assassin offer ki-Focuses. Totems...

    Shadow of Yesterday: Have You Played It?

    It's a fine game. I never GMed it, but the guys who did always told me how easy it is to make an adventure from the characters' keys. Personally I really liked Bringing Down the Pain.

    Is this PHB errata?

    Interesting (and sad). Do you have a link?

    An enrage like ability

    I wouldn't change the ability scores like ever. Give him bonuses to attack and damage. That's easier to handle. As for the "berzerking" you could have the character spent a minor action every turn, to keep calm. Otherwise there there are only limited ways to spend the move or standard action.

    what do you like about Warlock MC?

    You could powerswap for a utility. There are some nice movement powers that clerics usually lack, like climb speed, teleport, flight.

    Mark & Shift

    Yes. That's correct.

    Can a pit trap affect multiple PCs?

    It won't really work for the reasons you pointed out: Turns are not simultaneous. They are turns. You could have traps that only break down under a certain weight: two medium sized creatures. (Even more fun, when a decoy "flees" over the trap.) But still one of the guys would need to end their...

    Battle Chaplain PP - Uses for Battle Chant?

    I would have thought, it's the other way round: Only immediate interrupts and opportunity actions are interrupts.

    Monks & Weapons & Powers, oh my

    You want to have a "ki-focus". That's a type of implement monks can use, and you do not have to weild them. It's in PHB3. So with a ki-focus you can have empty hands, while using your monk powers.

    Do you look at the bonus or the description?

    No, I wouldn't do this. Probably because their are fine RPGs that do not provide descriptions for the numbers in the first place. So if I want to do whatever I want, I will pick on of these. Fluffing is fine, but refluffing in D&D seems to me like wasted effort.

    Star Paladin Hybrid

    Sorry, it doesn't. The MC feats allow you to use the named implement with powers of their class. You basically get that class's Implement feature. It's just that they switched the wording after PHB1. The wording in PHB1 was more clear, but all MC work in the same way. There is the "Arcane...

    Please help me!!!

    There are no official rules to do that. You can ask your GM to make it a companion character. If you are a ranger you can choose it as an animal companion. But then it will have the stats of an animal companion. Also it would be nice, if you put the question in the title. "Please help me!" is...

    Planes Above: Secrets of the Astral Sea

    What's that Celestial Lettuce that Erathis is so interested in?

    Sorcerous Blade Channeling & Acid Orb

    On the other hand, this trick is pretty much the only reason to take acid orb. So you spend a feat and an at-will slot.

    D&D 4E 4E Eschew Material Components?

    Short answer: No, there isn't long. Long answer: The only thing requiring components are rituals, and for these components are meant to be the limiting factor. There are however to some means to lower the cost of rituals. For example the "Elf High Mage" epic destiny for half cost.

    If you Run twice, do the -5 penalties stack?

    Maybe. You might argue that powers are distinguished from other things by their block format. Now, there is a genral trend in newer books to write more things as powers, even though vey similar things would not have received this format in PHB1.
