http://www.wired.com/culture/lifestyle/commentary/alttext/2008/06/alttext_0618 Posted: 12:48 a.m. by Goku1440 I found an awesome loophole! On page 242 it says "Add oregano to taste!" It doesn't say how much oregano, or what sort of taste! You can add as much oregano as you want! I'm going to...

It's cool Xorn; I think between the player debates and feedback from CSRs, we're getting a pretty good picture of how stealth is supposed to work. :)

Distant Shot (no -2 penalty at long range), Point Blank Shot (ignore cover/concealment within 5 squares), Sly Hunter (+3 bow damage to isolated target), Steady Shooter (+3 crossbow damage if you don't move), Devastating Critical (general crit improvement). All pretty limited in value.

No. If you have cover, you can make stealth attacks. All that's required is that your target can't see you prior to making your attack, and you beat their perception check. http://www.enworld.org/showpost.php?p=4313824&postcount=62 Can ranged attackers, eg. rogues and rangers, use cover (eg...

Love. Love love love.

People have pointed out that the Archer path doesn't gain anything that makes them particularly suited to archery. As Bardolph indicates, the Battlefield Archer paragon power Combined Fire is... a bit feeble. In many parties, ranged/area attacks by companions will be rare. Beast Stalker and...

That is irrelevant to in-combat stealth. Out of combat if any members of a group see the character, they alert the group and combat can ensue. But in combat, all that matters in order to gain combat advantage is that the stealther beats the target's perception check. You don't need to have cover...

I see what you guys are saying about improving on existing skills, which can sort of put it in an RP context; except often the new power is markedly different from the original. However, I think LowSpine echoes my feelings well. By level 13, you're pretty experienced with the game. Having 10...

So far, I'm really liking 4E. It's renewed my interest in playing pen & paper D&D, after many years of only encountering it via games such as Baldur's Gate and Neverwinter Nights. However, one thing is rubbing me the wrong way at this point: at levels 13 and up, you don't actually learn new...

Answer from Joe (Wizards CSR) 19/06/2008 So the core question here that I would like to confirm is: each time a player attempts a stealth attack during combat (which could be each round for each stealther), the player's stealth check DC is: a) the passive perception of their target (since this...

oh come on Mod: please delete this dup.

bleh dup Mod: please delete this dup.

As to the value of Nimble Attack, I believe its primary value is to allow the ranger to kite foes. They can shift away from an attacker that has reached them, make one attack, then make a full move action. TW Rangers can use this as a hit & run tactic, while archers can keep foes at a distance...

The value of Prime Shot is that an archer with unobstructed view gets a slight bonus. There's tactical ways to take advantage of it: circling past the meleers to target the backrow casters/healers. It comes in handy if the ranger is scouting ahead or bringing up the rear. But it's a very small...

The goblin is in the open, he isn't behind the cover: his body is exposed. This form of cover provides it to someone crouching behind it, but not someone 5 feet away. I believe there's room here for DM interpretation as to which characters have cover or not. If there is a full, solid wall...

Evan T. (Wizard CSR) Can ranged attackers, eg. rogues and rangers, use cover (eg, walls, pillars) or concealment (eg. bushes, darkness) to make stealth attacks during combat? You can make a stealth attempt with any action that you do. So, if you have cover or concealment, you can attempt to...

And that's where the CSR is mistaken. Stealth in 4e is not something you need to "gain" by moving to a square or performing some other action. It's part of any action. If you move stealthily, you roll to determine if you did so successfully. If you attack stealthily, you roll to determine if you...

Different customer service reps have provided contradictory answers on Stealth In Combat, to the point where they started refusing to answer those questions because they're working on errata or developing consistent guidelines. See the Stealth in Combat thread...
