    Quick and possibly no-brainer question.

    Can an opponent be marked by a Fighter and a Swordmage at the same time?

    Best use of rituals you have seen so far?

    If I'm not mistaken, can't a Portable Hole in 4e only be transported when there's nothing in it?

    Quick, easy, possibly stupid question.

    So, a fighter gets a free attack against a target he's marked, if that target shifts or makes an attack that doesn't include the fighter. Does this attack count as an Opportunity Attack?

    D&D 4E Where can I find a good 4e character builder program?

    Yeah, but I refuse to continue to sink more and more money into WotC's pockets. I'm fine with buying the odd book here and there (despite the fact that they continue to be degrading in quality), but monthly fees? Heck no. Some people may be unaffected by the economy, and free to game with...

    D&D 4E Where can I find a good 4e character builder program?

    So, I've come across the trial for WotC's character builder, and I really like it. However, it's only for the first three levels, and the Character Visualizer doesn't work. Does anyone know where I can find a good, freeware character builder program? Preferably with some sort of feature similar...

    A couple abilities in Martial Power seem WAY too good...

    My concern is NOT that the Fighter could amass a billion temporary hit points at once. My concern is that, for every attack after the first, the fighter suddenly has unbeatable DR against all melee and close attacks. A dwarven fighter with BRV could easily be taking half damage to all melee...

    A couple abilities in Martial Power seem WAY too good...

    So, I've been messing around with the free trial of the Character Builder from WotC, and I'm building a fighter. I'm looking at some of the abilities they've snagged from Martial Power, and I have to say, when compared to the PHB abilities, there's a HUGE creep in power. First- Battlerage...

    Expanded Spellbook- no extra Utilities?

    So, the Expanded Spellbook feat says, "Choose one daily wizard attack spell of every level you know. Add this spell to your spellbook." Does this mean that you can't use it to gain extra utilities? So a 2nd-level wizard with this feat still only chooses 2 utilities to go into his spellbook (and...

    Understanding Combat Healing

    One more thing to remember- the Second Wind action not only lets you spend a healing surge, but also increases all of your defenses (AC, Fort, Ref, Will) by 2 until your next turn. As far as healing goes in 4th Edition, itś cool, but when you think about it, healing is a LOT more limited in...

    D&D 4E Crafting... can anyone make anything in 4E?

    I, for one, agree that 4e seems to focus first and foremost on combat (and any rules that don't have an applicable role in combat or social encounters are either glossed over or omitted entirely). However, I have to say, I'm completely with WotC on not including rules for crafting. As it was...

    Wizard Wisdom Wierdness

    It's once per encounter, not once per round. It's still nasty, but not THAT nasty.

    Arcane Gate...Best Utility as an Attack spell??

    Even if you were able to force him into the portal, any time a creature is forced off a cliff or such, they're given a saving throw to stay on the edge. So it would be like pushing an enemy off a cliff. Possible, but there's variables to consider. (And remember, that's IF you can force a monster...

    Pdf books

    I could have sworn that, back when 4e was announced, WotC made some sort of a promise that once you bought a 4e book, you'd immediately have free access to the .pdf. Did I imagine this, or is this just yet another empty promise from WotC?

    Bad GM rulings? How would you rule?

    Let's check the SRD: Emphasis mine. A creature passing through the wall takes damage, with a Reflex save for half. If a person sees an enemy on the other side, and willingly jumps through the wall, he gets a save for half damage. But then, if a person sticks just an arm through to touch...

    Quickdraw

    Hypersmurf seems, in my opinion, to always have the stance of, "This is how the rules say it." There's often an air of, "I know this is ridiculous, and I'm sure 95% of you will house rule this, but this is exactly how the rules portray it. Here's six examples supporting me." You notice he's not...

    2 points for consideration.

    Even then, it would only provide the vehicle/creature with Damage Reduction, which would be handy if anyone tried to destroy the vehicle, but would provide no protection to anyone riding on top. And, in that case, you're better off leaving the vehicle as an object, because then it's got...

    Spell Thieves and Pearls

    You do raise a good point, but the issue (as I'm sure you know) is with more than just Pearls of Power. Everything that benefits a spontaneous caster costs more, hands down. More feats, more limitations, more money... It just seems like whoever invented the idea of a spontaneous caster talked it...

    Spellthief vs. Undead - Options in a Fight?

    My suggestion is find someone who's played a rogue against undead and constructs and get some pointers from them.

    2 points for consideration.

    Except that all that's supporting the ship is a one-foot-per-caster-level-diameter sphere. Unless the entire weight of the ship can be supported on that sphere (depending on where you place it), the sphere would indeed stay right where it was, but it would punch a hole through the ship itself...

    Spell Thieves and Pearls

    Because, remember, kids: Sorcerers, Bards, and Spellthieves are more powerful than Wizards, Clerics, and Druids. That's why they cost extra.
