    Using Implements With Magic Item Powers...

    I think the first question that should have been asked is: If a wizard has an item that allows him to cast magic missle, can he use a different item as the implement to channel it? If the answer is yes, then perhaps, through some combination of multiclassing and specific items that let priest...

    Invisibility + Fighter's Mark = ??

    The fighter can only using his "attack the shifting monster" power if he knows its shifting. as a DM you are under no obligation to telling him the character is shifting, and there is no amount of perception checking that can tell him the guy is shifting. He might perception check his way into...

    Slow and Teleport

    No. Slow reduces your move to 2. Teleporting almost never uses your move in its calculations. If it said "teleport equal to your move" then i suppose slow would affect it, but otherwise no. And why would it? Slowing is due to your feet being crippled or ice freezing you, neither of which...

    Cleric Optimized For Healing

    Except for sacred flame which doesn't have the healing keyword :(

    Official Ruling on Stinking Cloud?

    If they can't be seen they should get total concelament, not total cover. A fireball is not stopped by stinking cloud, but targeted ranged attacks and melee attacks are. Cover would only be possible if it was 'stinking wall' and blocked line of effect. With line of sight being the one...

    D&D III movie trailer

    Watch it without sound. It makes it 90% more bearable, and at that point, kind of intriguing. I'm half tempted to watch again and try and figure out some kind of plot (at least the characters). As far as a semi-cheesey fanatasy movie trailer, i'd rent it when it came out on DVD, provided that...

    Clawed Swordmage

    I have to say that as far as i can tell, unless you are making the attack (which is a basic attack with a +3 1d8 one handed military light blade) there is no evidence you have the weapon. It says nothing about you having the weapon outside of making the attack, so unless you make the...

    Where is 4E incomplete? Forked: Does 4E have staying power?

    Its incomplete in the sense that we don't have some things that are part of the world...Frost giants, metallic dragons, half-orcs, or bullywogs. You can play a fully complete game with what you have....its just if you need a copper dragon, you need to wing it a bit and when it does come out you...

    Official Ruling on Stinking Cloud?

    If you don't want a cheese grater, rule that the cloud is dangerous terrain and a person gets a saving throwing to fall prone and end the movement. Its in the rules somewhere, though you may find arguments on whether or not the cloud fully qualifies, I'd say it does.

    &: Rich Baker on recent events, plus an epic destiny and mini cards

    Since i can't peak behind the curtain, could you explain what was meant by "Primal avenger comfirming the PHB2 primal classes" Is it a PP? Isn't the Avenger heavily speculated to be a divine class? Not going to lose sleep over it but Thanks.

    Battlerager....Overpowered?

    I would disagree. Since he's a standard build in everyway except for the weapon talent he's only ever 1 attack bonus behind. Being 1 attack bonus behind is only a 10% decrease in hitting if there was a 50% chance he'd hit in the first place (50% to 45% is a 10% decrease). If he has a 60% chance...

    Avalanche Hurler and heavy thrown weapons

    Focusing on Str and Dex isn't killer MAD...heck alot of scimtar TWF builds out there already look like this. You may have to start with a 16 in each stat (after racials), but thats survivable (unless you have a +2 str/dex race). Prime shot might be a usueful ability to make sure you remember and...

    Battlerager....Overpowered?

    But you didn't wiff 6 times in a row by only 1 point of attack bonus...seriously, how often do you miss by 1 point per battle. Once? Twice? Once in two battles? How often do you get hit by a melee attack in a battle? 5? 10? With a reasonable con score, this can quickly become attactive. You save...

    Versatile Weapons and Power Attack

    Yeah, I think "if Versatile weapons DON'T count as two-handed, what good are they?" is a pretty good indication of where one should decide where they fall in this argument. To me, the +1 damage just isn't doing it. If you wield something in two hands, its a two handed weapon. You shouldn't...

    Battlerager....Overpowered?

    This is one reason i feel a little worried about the battlerager. Trading a +1 to hit for even just 3 temp hit points is a pretty solid upgrade. You'll miss every once in a while because of it (but honestly how often do you miss by only one point, it could easily not come up in a combat), but...

    Can a rogue use a giant's shortsword to sneak attack?

    No, you "can't use" weapons that are of larger size than you. I'm not sure if "can't use" is really defined anywhere, but i'm thinking at best you a)get no proficiency bonus b)don't benefit from relevant weapon feats/properties/etc. At worst you're limited using it as an improvised weapon and...

    Melee Ranger At-Wills?

    The third ranger at will would probably have to be a "punish you for attacking me" such as the star/infernal pact powers or the rogues riposte in order for it to compete with twin strike or the "get out of danger" powers the ranger has now. for melee: main hand attack, with off hand attack if...

    Coup de Grace and Charge

    The thing is...nimble strike triggering an OA is a "hidden" RAW. 99% of people reading the power will see "shift, then attack" and read it as meaning "shift =no OA". Thus while Hypersmurf points out with his impeccable attention to detail that there really isn't any wiggle room when you get...

    Intelligent Blademaster with Javelin?

    When you throw a weapon it is considered a ranged weapon, not a melee weapon. Thus a thrown javelin isn't a melee weapon, its a ranged weapon, and not valid for intelligent blademaster. A weapon can't be both melee and ranged at the same time, melee means you are holding it and smacking...
