Actually, the wording is "into the space you left" if I'm not mistaken. Not hugely different, but still an important distinction.

I think that's the best disarm solution so far. Anybody can do it (but not everyone will be good at it), and it uses an existing mechanic, so it's not particularly gamebreaking. I'll definitely use this if someone in my games ever demands a disarm.

Seeing as how the Fighter has changed quite a bit (mainly due to the fact that they've actually made mechanics to force enemies to target you instead of your allies), you may want to consider the prospect of recreating the character as a Barbarian. They're high-damage-dealing, they are pretty...

That's kinda funny, because I feel the exact opposite. It all depends on your playstyle (or, rather, what kind of a fighter you're making), but to me, it seems foolish to take an axe instead of a longsword. The longsword has a higher permanent attack bonus (which is one of the hardest things to...

I think that we can all agree that allowing a forced teleportation power to teleport an opponent vertically, unless the power specifically states it can be used as such, is against the rules. In every possible case, it makes the power more powerful than other powers of its level.

Mort Q got it. It's similar to the situation of anything that allows a reroll- some DMs allow it to be decided after they're told whether the roll was a success or not, others won't. In my opinion, if a player has such a power, he should make sure of the DM's policy beforehand, so that it's...

Woot woot!

Battlerage Vigor is the ONLY CASE IN THE ENTIRE GAME where Temporary HPs stack.

I'm not horribly familiar with every single Epic Destiny out there, but I've read enough of them to come to this conclusion: Most Epic Destinies, when looked at individually, aren't broken before 30- but most of them have incredibly niche-like abilities that, if they're brought into play, will...

Absolutely. Any attack roll, whether it hits or misses, marks an enemy. Many people like Dragonborn Fighters for this reason (1/encounter, Mark up to nine people at range). Keep in mind, of course, that most of a Fighter's stickiness relies on being within melee range of a marked target...

Exactly.

I'd say, if for no other reason than untyped bonuses from the same source don't stack, that it only gets applied once. Even just on principle, I think it should only apply once. Double-dipping has never ended well in D&D.

Exactly. If an NPC (monster or not) suffers a grievous wound, if the plot says that such a wound can't be healed without something specific happening, it doesn't get healed, extended rest or not.

No, no, no, please don't misunderstand me. I'm not saying that it's ridiculous from a flavor standpoint. I've ALWAYS been of the opinion that you can describe any action however fantastically you want, so long as it plays out mechanically as the action intends. My beef with forced movement and...

I'm afraid I stopped reading right there. Unless you describe your Crushing Surge attack as whipping out a knife, flicking a pat of butter onto the enemy's face, and whacking them with a loaf of bread (meanwhile taking a bite, granting yourself bonus Temp HPs), then this is NOT your bread and...

No. The only benefits you get from multiclassing in 4e are the ones listed in the multiclass feat description. In other words, when you multiclass into Paladin, you get skill training in one Paladin class skill, Divine Challenge once per encounter, and you can use Paladin implements. That's it...

Exactly. Sure, it'd be nice to get semi-permanent DR, but in order to do so, you have to... not at all contribute to the combat.

With the exception of certain powers (such as Tide of Iron, which can only be used one a creature up to one size category larger than you) there's no limit on how large of a creature can be pushed, pulled, or slid, as per RAW. It is especially ridiculous when you use Footwork Lure (Martial...

So, it's my understanding tha the Effect line of a power occurs whether you hit or miss. Well, I recently came across the Dreadnought Paragon Path from Martial Power. One of the powers it grants is called Line-Breaker Assault, and reads as follows (as per the compendium): So, assuming you use...

As a matter of fact, I was not the DM at the time- but everyone in our group is fairly rules-conscious as well as reasonable, so we agreed pretty quickly that there's nothing wrong with allowing a middle ground (so that, in the example the DM used, a crowd of peasants caught in the crossfire...
