It seems like there's a little cross-traffic here between the two standard mechanics for swapping around powers while you are leveling up: Retraining powers, and Replacing powers. Retraining allows you to replace a feat, skill, or power once per level. For powers, it says "You can replace a...

My understanding, based on the FAQ for the spellbook class feature (which logically applies to the swordmage feat) is that when you gain a daily power, you choose two powers of that level or lower to go into your spellbook. After an extended rest, you fill that level's spell slot with one of...

For each level at which you can have a daily power, you have 2 daily powers in your spell book. Out of each pair, you choose one per day to have prepared. So you cannot have both of the daily powers you chose at level 29 prepared at the same time, no.

Yeah, the number of times the second number is higher is 190 (47.5%), the same number of times the second number is lower.

Well, if it's not a creature anymore, it's an object. But if a dead creature is an object, what happens when you use a Make Whole ritual on it? :eek:

With this last bit you're thinking of Commanding Presence, which is special stuff that happens when an ally "who can see you" spends an action point. Combat Leader is a different class feature that specifcially says "You and each ally within 10 squares who can see and hear you gain a +2 power...

Basic question - is the Warlord class feature "Combat Leader" an AOE buff that your party can move into and out of during a combat, or is it a static bonus to your check at the start of combat? The Warlord's Combat Leader class feature says "You and each ally within 10 squares who can see and...

I believe that the OP is focusing on the text "You gain the at-will spell and pact boon of both pacts." Now, for a normal Warlock, this is basically reminder text, since they already have the at-will spell and pact boon for one pact, and this feat is granting them the at-will spell and pact...

What one-time class feature retrain? I couldn't find anything in the retraining rules in the PHB that allowed you to retrain class features.

Isn't an ally a willing target? So if I'm shooting a fireball at a dominated party member, he's not a willing target of the fireball, so he's automatically an enemy, right?

It's not the maul's fault that 12 lb is a realistic weight. People 'wield' them all the time for fence work and wood splitting, and don't take more than a second or two to ready for another swing.

If a rule says to add your dex mod to something, you just add your dex mod, not your dex mod + 1/2 level. In most cases 1/2 of your level is already included in the calculation by other means if it's intended to be there (attack rolls, defenses, skill checks).

They have their logic backwards, and need to re-read the rules for double move. Correct: On your turn, you can move twice if you take a move action instead of a standard action. If you take the same move action twice in a row - two walks, two runs, two shifts, two crawls - you're taking a...

Forked from: Class Acts: Swordmage When this original Class Acts article came out, everyone seemed in agreement that this is how the Dimensional Thunder power worked - you teleported next to someone, swung at them, and then everyone adjacent to you took ongoing damage. With the PHB II...

Since all the answers so far have been focusing on charging, I'll mention that a bull rush does not, in fact, provoke an OA. The text specifically says that you push the target 1 square, and shift into the vacated space. As for the charge, the text for OA's (PHB p290) indeed says that it's...

It's indeed in the FAQ at Answer "3. If you wield a light shield, you can also hold an item as well, although you can’t attack with it. What if that item is an implement? Can you apply its implement bonus to your powers? No. Using an implement to gain its bonuses is considered attacking...

Isn't this what the Hero system already does? All of the powers have generic names (Energy Blast, Dimensional Travel, Killing Attack) and it's up to you to flavor it to suit your character (Magic Missile, Dimension Door, swing with a sword). Edit: Meant to add that since Hero has been around...

The concept of the Mary Sue has been stretched and bent over the years until it can mean almost anything. For a good read-up on this trope, check out Mary Sue - Television Tropes & Idioms Edit: D'oh, too slow.

I've always pronounced "gnoll" the same as "knoll", but now you have me wondering.

There doesn't really seem to be a pre-defined equivalency table like I've seen in other games, but you could come up with one by looking at, say, the Monster Manual. A quick search for various INT scores, for instance, gave me some examples: 1 various insects, most zombies 2 most animals 3...
