Superior Cover , Total Concealment, or zero Line of Sight to start off the Stealth check, but after that you only need Cover or Concealment to keep it going.

Is WotC is bringing back the "You must not be observed" rule from 3.x. You need Total Concealment or Superior Cover to initiate Stealth, but to keep it going you need any kind of Cover or Concealment. I will give them points for a solution that produces very little errata changes.

It is in these Stealth threads =P I am drawing a comparison between moving and Shadow Walk activating and moving and a trap activating. In both cases the thing "activating" occurs mid move, unlike moving through an area of concealment, which most likely was already "activated/present" in the...

I can not agree with CS on this. If a player moves over a trap, does the trap go off AFTER his move action? Is this Road Runner physics? Oh and uh, "Beep Beep".

Am I reading too much into this line? Are you using Fleeting Ghost to hide without cover or concealment? If so, the rogue is standing out in the open and will get spotted long before round 2 comes up. I don't have a version of the Shift ability in front of me (is it in KoTS?), just the Shifty...

I am assuming you are ending your Fleeting Ghost turn in some cover/concealment: If the rogue is taking a move action for movement followed by an standard action for attacking, then yes. He needs to stealth the movement to retain CA for the attack. If he charges (moves and attacks in one...

What are the limits? Can a rogue move 1 step toward cover/concealment and hide? 2 steps? What if the warlock has 7(elf) movement and decides on square 3 to hide (he has 4 left to go). What about a hypothetical 100 movement speed? Standard action attack + move action movement(gain Shadow Walk) +...

And if the ready action is for "the rogue popping out from behind the wall" instead of "getting attacked by the hidden guy"? He is, after all, in plain sight when he makes the attack.

So I can pop out from my rock and shoot you and gain sneak attack damage. Your defense is to ready an action to shoot me when I pop out, but if I survive, technically I still get to hit you with sneak attack damage??? You know, 'cause you are granting me Combat Advantage still for some stupid...

OP: Original Poster

I agree with that for all the classes. But I am refering to the following. If a wizards abilities can be quantified as the following formula. 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 And the Psion can be quantified as the formula 1 + 3 + 1 + 3 Then what it seems your are doing (on a small scale) is change a few parts of...

So? Should a psion be <=wizard in all respects? Please read Bonus Feats under psionics. The flavor restriction is already in place. [edit: removed my spiteful comment.] Realy, should psions be <= wizards in all respects? Psions are not just flexible wizards. They are different. Those are my two...

If your looking for the Sorcerer variant in the PHBII to remove your familiar and gain speedy metamagics, its on page 61. Metamagic Specalist.

I guess I read more into what were saying about Call to Mind then what was intended. The point being made wasn't obvious. Power gamers are often attracted to Psionics because of the scaling DCs. By scaling the DCs it makes damage a viable kill tactic for more levels then it's arcane...

Frylock, if Call to Mind is coming up as a power house of a power then perhaps a second reading is in order. All it does is help A.D.D. players remember things the DM has already told them. Or if the DM knows the player has the power, he can use it to reveal clues later in a session that would...

Expending your focus is a small penalty compared to increasing your casting time for the round you use it in, but you still have to give an action to get it back; thats a full round if you don't have the feat. Also, expending your focus has the other negative that you can't use multiple...

The number of powers that can be DC pumped is probably about half of the powers that have saves, not including powers that only affect objects. The psion should get something considering the loss of spell power when compared to a wizard or sorcerer. Augments fill that in nicely. Just using the...

I am concerened about Wildstarsreach mention that wizards and sorcerers "Doesn't have Heightned feat", which implies that psions do get that free. They don't. Heighten increases the spell level of a spell. It does not increase damage caps that an arcane caster still suffers from. A psion...

Are they just busting your chops?

To be precise, to match it you need 1 feat (Heighten), plus one item, plus one racial bonus. Your character is pretty well optimized. How are the item and racial bonus indemic to the psion class? Remove them from the argument. In both cases for the charm effect, arcane and psionic versions, the...
