We have a Paladin in our group who was considering taking a level in Oracle for their Lore Keeper revelation from the Lore Mystery. Does the bonus from Divine Grace (Cha bonus to saves) stack with the Cha bonus to Reflex saves granted from Lore Keeper? We were under the impression that ability...

(I get the feeling this issue has been addressed before, but without the ability to search the forums I'm attempting a possible re-post. My apologies if this has been answered already.) I sat down to make some creatures today for a campaign my friend is working on. Admittedly, I haven't tried...

My group just wrapped up our first Pathfinder campaign, a low-level journey to the Mwangi Expanse. We've been discussing the setting for our next adventure, and have decided on trying something quite the opposite of our normal fantasy games. With influences from the X-Files, the A-Team...

Stout (From DS): A weapon that can be treated as a two-handed weapon. Versatile: A one-handed weapon that can be used two-handed, dealing an extra point of damage if used two-handed. So... what is the point of Stout? Sure, small creatures could legally use stout weapons, but they could wield...

Am I correct in thinking that a character with these two feats would have a net modifier of -4 for hitting an ally with a burst/blast power (barring any other modifiers at the time)? Also, War Wizardry states your arcane spells "deal only have their normal damage to allies". Does this apply to...

I'm making a 14th level ritual-heavy wizard, and I was wondering if there was an equivalent in 4E to 3.X's feat, "Eschew Materials". Market price isn't a big issue for me, but the cost of higher level rituals really starts to add up. IIRC, Eschew Materials only omitted components of 1 GP or...

Come and Get It - Fighter Attack 7, PH Encounter * Martial, Weapon Standard Action Close burst 3 Target: Each enemy in burst you can see Effect: Each target must shift 2 and end adjacent to you, if possible. A target that can’t end adjacent to you doesn’t move. You can then attack any targets...

I remember reading an article about alternate elemental spells a wizard could choose, but now I can't seem to find it. I remember it having new acid spells (key reason I'm looking for it), and possibly other elemental spells to help fill out a element-specific wizard. I skimmed through the...

Let's say a player wants to gain training in a skill. Assuming you had a 13 in the stat required by the Multiclassing feat, what reason would there be to choose the Skill Training feat over a Multiclassing feat that contained the skill in question? Example I'm a fighter with 13 strength or...

I am finding some abilities and powers are hazy on what constitutes the difference between an attack and an attack roll. Here is an example: A player in my group is currently running a 12th level Divine Oracle Cleric. His 11th level Paragon Path encounter power has the following effect: "You...

Normally, a character who is out of combat and not actively searching for hidden doors, items, or traps uses their passive perception (PP) to determine if they see said items. There doesn't seem to be a "Take 20" rule in 4th edition, which brings me to my issue. If a player wants to spend...

*Sigh*. Alright, the following is mostly going to be a bunch of math questions, but some will directly apply to being a Swordmage. If you aren't in the mood to answer questions, that's totally cool and you can ignore this. Otherwise, I'd like to thank you in advance for helping me. P.S. Mods...

A player brought to my attention that standing from prone no longer draws an OA. Sure enough, after looking it up in the PH, page 290, it only states movement out of a threatened square, ranged attacks, and area attacks draw OAs. Is this for simplicity? Balance? Am I wrong? Any ideas?

I have a player (a lvl 1 Ranger) who is using Careful Attack and Twin Strike. Their stated damage is "Hit: 1[W] damage (melee) or 1[W] ranged", and "1[W] damage per attack", respectively. He has the Dwarven Weapon Training feat, which states "You gain proficiency and a +2 feat bonus to damage...

(I hope there isn't a limit to how many questions you should ask in a period of time. I sure don't want to incur the Mod's wrath. :P) A player of mine plans on playing a druid with the fiendish template. I use Rich Burlew's Polymorphing Rules...

One of my players is squishing all my baddies. He is literally jumping down onto them, or teleporting a little above them, and flattening them like a pancake. This wouldn't be a problem, except for the fact that he weighs thousands of pounds. Let me explain. This player is playing a...

Curse Wizards and their vague term usage. I don't know If posting the spell Stone Body (Spell Compendium, pg. 207) is legal or not, so I won't. In a nutshell though, it makes you immune to things that "affect your physiology or respiration", besides giving some other immunities. Figuring...

My PC's have been wanting to do a Gestalt campaign ever since I mentioned it a while back, and I finally decided to get around to it. I have a few questions to ask, and would appreciate some feedback from anyone who has played in one, or DM'ed one. In the chapter about Gestalt campaigns in...
