Hi all. I might be one of the last people in the world without a cell phone (at least it feels that way). Now I find myself in need of one, mostly for work. But I'm lost. There are too many options, with too many providers, and too many codes... I live in Michigan (USA), and I need a phone...

I thought I read here once where people had other effects for milestons in 4E. My group was thinking of lettng each player individually choose from: - Gain an action (as normal) - Gain a healing surge (not to exceed your maximum) - (some other choice... haven't fully decided) Anyways, my...

Do you keep track of fallen enemies on the battlefield map? If so, why? If not, why not? Normally, we just make the bodies vanish off the map -- it would get too cluttered. But in my online game we have a digital map and it is very easy to keep track of anything on the board with different...

This question came up in our last game, one player had been playing it one way the entire time, the DM never questioned, but then a new player joined and he had a different interpretation. If a power has an additional effect that causes variable damage later in the round, would that power gain...

I'm looking for ways to prevent an enemy from shifting away from me in combat (all those pesky mages and archers that I want an opportunity attack on, and they shift away before casting/shooting ... grrr). I've got a barbarian and a paladin and I'm looking for options for either. I'd like to...

Trying to make sure I use this power correctly. Can someone check my understanding: Round 1. I use the daily and target an enemy within range. If I hit, it takes damage and I get a secondary attack vs each adjacent enemy. Assuming I hit: Round 2. I spend the minor action to sustain the power...

So the question has come up: My Barbarian has not acted yet this turn. He is granted a free basic attack from an ally's power (free action) He hits and kills his target. Can he then use his Swift Charge power (free action triggered off of killing a target with an attack)? If he can use the...

I'm trying to figure out 4E's version of the double weapon (too used to 3.5 and Pathfinder). Someone recommended the Urgosh to me... so here's my attempt at understanding. (Background: I've got a Barbarian-Ranger, he needs to be able to switch from single 2Handed weapon to two-weapon fighting...

What are some of the ways to switch from a 2H weapon to two weapons mid round, without using all of your actions? (reason: I'm looking at a build that has some powers that require two weapons and some powers that work best with a single weapon wielded two-handed) Some of my thoughts: Use a...

Since 4e started, I've been playing ranged strikers and controlers (mostly arcane). I'm about to play my first melee striker in 4e. But there are so many options!! I hoping you-all can help me focus my list. Is 2-weapon Ranger a good striker or is Rogue still the king of damage? How does the...

I know there is a feat for dual implement wielding. It allows you to add the enhancement bonus of your off-hand to damage. But what if I don't have the feat? I am assuming I can still wield two implements and decide which one I am currently using to cast my spells through... Question: If...

I haven't gotten to see much out of the PHB3, but I noticed in the recent Dragon article on Sorcerers (Dungeons & Dragons Roleplaying Game Official Home Page - Article (Sorcerers)) that they mention new weapon properties. Actually, they call them "Superior Implements" and they are implement...

We have a Longtooth Shifter player in our group. She read the shifter power and had a different interpretation of it than the DM. 3 more of us read it and we had a split decision. So, the DM asked us to post to the good folks at EN to see what kind of majority can be reached. The Longtooth...

A question that has come up in my group. We're looking at the sorcerer/rogue either multiclass or hybrid-class version. Leaving asside whether this is a good combo or not, the question is: Can a sorcerer, casting a spell with his dagger implement, gain the sneak attack bonus damage? The...

I don't have a DDI subscription and I'm thinking of picking one up. I guess I have two questions: 1) Are hybrid rules outlined enough in there (the character generator and/or compendium) so that my group could play a hybrid character? 2) (briefly) How does a hybrid character work? Is it a...

So has anyone seen it? For the thread on box office takes for the weekend, it doesn't sound like too many people did... :/ I'm a fan, and the trailers made it look fairly interesting (at least mysterious), but my wife and I haven't had a chance to get out to this one yet. So, anybody that's...

If I take the ranger multiclass and get the once per encounter hunter's quarry, does that mean that I only get to mark an enemy once per encounter, but until that enemy dies I get the bonus damage... or does it mean that I only get the damage once per encoutner???

We've only been playing for a short while now, but it seems like everytime my players try to use their encounter or dailiy powers, they miss. This last game, one of my players called out that he wanted to use his action point to add a d6 to his result before I told him if he failed or not... he...

Our group is still mentally converting over from 3.X and the question of firing into melee came up in the last session: 4th ed seems to no longer apply a penalty to shooting into a melee. The old game gave the obvious -4 (to avoid hitting your friends) and possibly cover from the different...

I've read trhough the traps section of the DMG and thought it made sense, but when prepping the DMG-Sample dungeon, nothing seems to fit. Question 1: In the DMG, Area 2 (p213) The Dart Trap is listed as making an immediate interrupt attack. This would imply that the trap only gets to make ONE...
