Where do I download "pencil and paper"? Gruns

The Augmented version is just one time. They more or less replace Encounter powers that the non-psionic classes get, but have slightly more flexibility in that you can use the lesser Augmented (Augment1) version twice in an encounter. Later! Gruns

Except Chuck Norris. He can flank by himself. Later Gruns (Sorry, it's 4am)

As many have already pointed out, I'd guess this is the original, un-erratted Blade Cascade. And while D&D Insider (DDI) was briefly mentioned, I figure I'll add the usual bit about if you plan on DMing, it is very much worthwhile to download Character Builder, pay the $9.95 for one month, get...

Don't fight it! I understand exactly what you mean, as my group was exactly the same way... you just need to remind yourself that in the end, it's all about socializing and having a good time with friends. As a DM, I was always wanting the group to get to the next encounter, so I could show off...

Have you considered the new Ranger build from Martial Power 2? There are a lot of DEX based melee attacks in there, including an At-Will. (Fading Strike) Later! Gruns

Hmm... I dont see this as being a worthwhile option as long as the Character Builder is around. It's just too easy to have everything right there for you. As Garthanos pointed out, it's actually more work to bother restricting stuff. If you want to preserve the core of 4E or whatever, you could...

Unless the power says otherwise, the mark simply provides the -2 penalty to the creature if it doesn't attack you. Later! Gruns

Umm... I'm not sure why you think this, other than "it was kind of like this in older versions"... Your friends are correct. If you want to attack, you need to use a Power to do so. Only a handful of classes actually have powers that let you attack with two weapons. (Ranger, Fighter, Barbarian...

You can't! You can't even use a Scimitar in the off hand. You can only use weapons with the "Off-Hand' trait in the off hand, unless you happen to be a ranger that took the Two Blade Fighting Style. I'm sure there are probably some Paragon Paths out there that allow this too. Maybe. However...

Looking at the makeup of the original 2E group... I bet the first thing they ask is "Where can we buy a dozen Cure Light Wands?"... ;) Later! Gruns

Well by RAW this is not allowed, but I'm guessing we're talking about a friendly home game and not some official tournament or even LFR. And since the whole point of the game is for everyone to have fun, well, why not let him? There are lot's of ways to 'fluff' the transformation from fighter to...

A "3.5 cleric" with a Longsword?!? Mind = blown Later! Gruns

Are you talking about the one with the (semi-spoiler) rats ? In this case the PCs are just walking, as you said, with no combat or initiative going on. What's their marching order? If 2x2, then the front two should be vulnerable. That is, if they just say something to the effect of "We'll head...

Overpowered?! Umm... Much closer to the side of "Useless and will never be taken." As has been pointed out, there are very few NPCs that Mark. And most of those Marks aren't drastic by anny means. Surely not drastic enough to bother spending a Utility (or Feat) selection on just on the off...

As has been answered, the answer is mostly A, but a little better... The Swordmage spends a Healing surge and gains: 6 hps for his Surge Value 1d6 hps from the Healing Word Power AND (nobody's mentioned yet) 3-5hps from Relaeha's Healer's Lore ability, which adds their Wisdom modifer. So with a...

Next thing you know, he's going to suggest that Minotaurs are immune to the Maze spell... ... ... oh wait... Later! Gruns

Heh. This reminds of a campaign I DM'd for a guy that was totally new to gaming and D&D. The party ran into a pack of gnolls. He asked what they were. I went on to describe them, their tendencies, their weapons... his only question: "Are they delicious?" Later! Gruns

The power's effects are identical. The only difference is that one requires you to be a Barbarian, the other requires you to be trained in Athletics. I suppose if you were a Barbarian trained in Athletics, you could grab both of these and jump amazingly twice per encounter... Later! Gruns

Your math looks right to me... When you say 'according to the PC', to what do you refer? The character sheet itself? Because that doesn't actually say how many hit points are regained from the power. The person playing the PC? That makes a little more sense, altough I'm not sure why they...
