Nor is it ever intended for use by players.

I agree that RAW these combo's work as others have posted. However, it is clear to me that it is intended that the bonus to damage only applies to an attack made with the weapon that has the bloodclaw property. Obviously this should be clarified via errata, since as it is written now it...

As has been said elsewhere, Rogues were balanced based on the assumption that they'd have CA every attack and be able to do their Sneak Damage once per round, every round. The designers intended this, and as others have posted, it's fairly easy to gain CA even without this combo. I play a...

For area attacks you only roll damage once and apply it to each enemy you hit, FYI

This is dead on. In 4e DnD, the adventurers are the HEROES. In fact, they are the ONLY heroes in the entire world. The whole world literally does revolve around them, and there is no expectation that the monsters and NPCs have ever encountered anything like them before. These are the future...

Attack bonuses are relatively hard to come by in 4E. Prime Shot grants an untyped +1 that stacks with everything, and as such is pretty nice. Of course, you pay for that +1 by taking a risk, but both the ranger and warlock (classes with a prime-shot like ability) have powers/bonus feats that...

This seems to come up every time the thread discussing it drops off the main page :) Here's my response from the last thread this issue came up in: http://www.enworld.org/forum/d-d-4th-edition-rules/248583-can-blinding-barrage-blind-swarm.html Actually, it works just fine according to...

I've completed a hi-res (50 pixels per square) map of the 1st level of the Pyramid. This is for encounters P1 - P5, C1 - C5, G1 - G3, H1 - H2, and S1 - S4 http://www.cyberdeck.org/fantasygrounds/PoS/H3%20-%20Pyramid%20of%20Shadows%20-%20L1.jpg I'll amend this post as I complete the other levels.

The question then is, what makes up the [W] in a power? Clearly a 1[W] power used with a +3 weapon and the armbands would be 'damage dice' + 5, but what about a 2[W] power? Is it 2d + 5 or 2d + 10? Or even weirder, 2d + 6 + 2 ?

In my opinion, the real takeaway for Fighter players from this thread is this: a) If your DM plays monsters in such a way that they nearly always attack the character which marked them, you should focus your build on defense almost exclusively. b) If your DM plays monsters in such a way that...

Carpe, I think you are drastically under-valuing the other penalty to the monster for ignoring a mark: The free attack. Now, maybe I'm just an unlucky DM, but I'm telling you, nearly every single time I have a marked monster attack someone other than the defender, the monster gets smacked...

Actually, what you are describing is one encounter (the chase), with multiple 'waves' (the ambushes). Since you didn't take a short rest in between each ambush, then if you used a 'lasts till the end of the encounter' power during the first ambush, it should have still been in effect for...

Of course, that still doesn't explain why they felt the need to add the "until the end of the encounter" clarification to Flaming Sphere, since I believe the definition of the "end of the encounter" is when the party takes a short rest. I know of no powers that can't be sustained till the end...

Actually, it works just fine according to Custserv... see: 4E Customer Service Answers - ENWiki Light Thrown Weapons and Powers Q: Rogue area attack powers such as Blinding Barrage work with the crossbow, sling, or light thrown weapons. Sling and hand crossbow are "Load Free". Normal crossbow...

I agree with Dalzig. I read the feat as modifying the Cleave power as so: Hit: 1[W] + Strength modifier damage, and you choose either to gain temporary hit points equal to your Constitution modifier, or an enemy adjacent to you other than the target takes damage equal to your Strength...

Characters are not just the sum of their attributes and gear. It's all about strategic play and the modifiers provided by various powers. You can't just compare a PC's Will defense with a monster's vs. Will attack to determine if the combat will be 'easy'. You have to look at the party makeup...

Charging is special in that it isn't a move action. It is a standard action that includes movement as part of the attack. This means that you can move to cover and hide (taking a -5 penalty to your stealth check if you had to move more than 2 squares) as a move action, and then charge and...

Rules for players are just that, rules for PLAYERS, and should never be used to create NPCs. There are rules in the DMG (as others have mentioned) to create NPCs that have the feel of a player class, and these should be used to create arch-nemesis, etc.

I'm on a roll... Finished The Tower of Mysteries as well: http://www.cyberdeck.org/fantasygrounds/TL/H2%20-%20Tower%20of%20Mysteries.png Thus, all the maps for H2 are now complete, and available here: http://www.cyberdeck.org/fantasygrounds/TL

It's been a while, but I finally finished The Well of Demons map. It's available here: http://www.cyberdeck.org/fantasygrounds/TL/H2%20-%20The%20Well%20of%20Demons.png
