Suppose you have a Swordmage that's using a fullblade (heavy blade, high crit) as his weapon/implement. 1. If he scores a critical hit using Sword Burst (implement attack), does he do the extra high crit damage? 2. What if he scores a critical hit using Spidersilk Slash (weapon attack, fixed...

I don't know if it's an oversight, but the Hexer paragon path in Arcane Power does not have "Warlock's Curse" as a prerequisite. The Hexer has a bunch of powers that allow cursing as a secondary effect. But what happens if you have only have a limited ability to use curses (with Student of...

This issue came up in a recent RPGA game I played.If a wizard (or multiclass wizard) holds a Staff of Ruin in his off-hand, does he get its bonus item damage when making an attack with a weapon/implement in his main hand? The Staff of Ruin is a magical implement with the following property: "In...

There are a number of prestige paths that provide action point benefits that last until the end of your turn, or until your next turn. Can you spend an action point at any point during a round? Or does it have to be after you have used all your normal actions? For example, is this legal for a...

If a target has multiple vulnerabilities to a single attack, do they all stack? For example: Let's say a cleric is fighting a zombie (radiant vulnerability 5). The cleric hits the zombie with Cascade of Light, spends an action point, and then hits the zombie with Lance of Faith. The Lance of...

I was flipping through some 4E skills and feats the other day, and I noticed the Agile Athlete feat (roll d20 twice for Acrobatics or Athletics checks). Clearly this was a Paragon feat because it boosted two skills, but just how much of a boost was it compared to, say, Skill Focus? Would the...

If I understand correctly, taking one of the multiclass Initiate feats qualifies you to take a paragon path for your second class. Taking your second class' paragon path gives you: two class powers at level 11 and one at level 16 level 11 encounter power level 12 utility power level 20 daily...

If a character has a penalty to Dexterity, does it apply if he wears heavy armor? Say you have a 1st level character with Dex 7 (-2 penalty) and Int 8 (-1 penalty). If that character wears leather armor (light), his AC is 11 = 10 + 0 (level) + 2 (armor) + -1 (Int, since it's higher than Dex)...
