It's just a shame that there's no +damage Feat for Force keyword Powers (at least not that I know of?), except for that paragon one that is quite situational... understandable since Force is the most reliable damage source when it comes to the wizard... I'd expect to see some more support to a...

But you can't get Acolyte Power up until you're level 8. (the one that allow you to swap an Utility Power)

Personally? Yes Yes Yes Yes, with a caveat, how unconventional? Very unlikely.

I'm not a big fan of No Opening because it's an Immediate Interrupt, and as such I'd rather have my Combat Challenge attack ready to use, even if it doesn't trigger in the end... I mean, cancel his CA so that he can shift away from me after the attack? No way! I'm currently playing a FIghter...

-You can make one Immediate Action (Interrupt/Reaction) per round of combat. _You can make one Opportunity Action per combatant's turn. Shifts doesn't provoke Op. Attacks, so, if in your example the kobold shifts away, the fighter will not get an Op. Attack.

You make some valid points I have to say. The assumption that a smaller party often faces smaller groups of enemies, as I said ( or at least I think I did) was mostly an overgeneralization. I'm still to meet an encouter composed only of minions for example, so even though you could have, like...

(EDIT: This probably doesn't belong here, moderators feel free to move it elsewhere...) I guess we all hear that 4E emphasizes team effort rather than individual effort when it comes to combat, so I decided to make a thread discussing how it works, based on my experience so far as a DM and...

This: Except for Warlords which are dependent on a weapon to hit their attacks, since most their powers works only on a hit. Otherwise, I think all classes are equally dependent on items.

IMO, both your statements are very wrong.

You're both correct, I think you're just misunderstanding each other's points. For powers/spells with the Weapon keyword, you add up your prof. bonus (provided you are proficient with the weapon). For powers with the Implement keyword, it's just an (as you suggested) oversized implement. That...

Not sure if it's been said but, it seems that Eladrins are getting a +2 on thievery?

Rain of Blows (number of attacks and conditional attack(s)).

I understand the rules you decided to assume, I just don't agree with it. To me, the song comes from the instrument, and there's no point in having an instrument if you're not going to play it. In the case of a divine character he uses a holy "symbol". What's a symbol to you? A symbol does...

I guess it would depend on how many squares the power in question allows you to shift. If it's 1 square, then the answer is probably No. You can't shift. If it's more than one, then the answer is ... maybe. As per the Crawling rules on page 288, crawling effectively means "moving while...

From what i understand from the RAW, in that case your Immediate Interrupt cancels target's attack. "If an interrupt invalidates a triggering action, that action is lost."

I don't know, it's just that the idea of playing an... harp or whatever, while fighting with a mele weapon doesn't make much sense to me. I mean, you only got two hands...

This. And this. Obviously, I'm not the one missing the point here.

And they still are. Keep in mind that a +X Vicious Weapon is in no other way different than a "regular" +X Weapon other than the critical. That's the main attractive in it. It deals huge amounts of damage on criticals. Vorpal is not different. It is still lethal on a crit, as they always have...

Except that that lvl 27 weapon doesn't allow you to reroll the dice, which is well worth +2 lvls by itself, nor does it grants you an ability to strike for another +3d12 once per day, which is well worth another +1 lvl.

What do you think about this alternative for Bards that fight with weapons and thus have no hands free to play the instrument? Vocal Scarf 4+ <insert fluff text here> Lvl 4 +1 840 gp Lvl 19 +4 105,000 gp Lvl 9 +2 4,200 gp Lvl 24 +5 525,000...
