Yes, there is. For one, you don't make a "Saving Throw" when dying. You make a "Death Saving Throw". For another, the mechanics of a Death Saving Throw are entirely different than those of a normal Saving Throw, so there's really no confusing one for another. And considering Sehanine's...

In the case of Twin Strike, which is, indeed, two separate attacks, the Ranger would indeed suffer a -2 to an attack not aimed at the Fighter, and in that case, the Fighter would get his attack. The same applies with the Hydra, as it's making four separate attacks. Remember, the mark affects...

Okay, I got my worded a bit mixed up. In fact, the Paladin can't choose not to activate the damage, but the damage still only occurs once per round. Here's a snippet from the description. Emphasis mine. But you see, it can only happen once each round.

A. You never performed the action--you simply started to, and got pummeled before you could manage it. Think of it like this: When you go to use your crossbow and get knocked out, do you lose the bolt? Nope, because you never actually fired it. You were still getting ready to fire it when you...

Keep in mind, however, that the Paladin can only activate his Challenge once per round--once the enemy makes one attack that doesn't include the Paladin and takes damage, he's free to make any other attacks until the Paladin takes another turn. He still suffers a -2 penalty to all attacks that...

Ah. So I can carry a normal longsword and a magical one in the same hand and hit with both every attack? I mean, the normal longsword doesn't use up your Weapon/Implement slot, apparently. Heck, why not where a suit of mundane AND magical plate armor? The mundane one doesn't use up the slot, so...

Heh. I like how people like to assume the exact wording works in their favor in some places, and is obviously talking about something else entirely in other places. Let's just face facts. An item takes up an item slot, whether it's magical or not. You cannot wear magic Cloth underneath your...

Actually, Healing/Inspiring word heal an additional 1d6 every 5 levels. So they're always useful.

Actually, a normal level 9 wizard would know 6 Dailys--2 level 1s, 2 level 5s, and 2 level 9s. Expanded Spellbook would make it so they know 9 daily spells, 3 of each level. But after an extended rest, a Wizard picks 1 daily spell s/he knows of each available level to have access to for that...

The thing is, marking via your breath is not cheese. It's simply what a Dragonborn Fighter does. If a Knight Commander can mark 120 enemies simply by hitting one enemy and looking overwhelmingly awesome doing it, surely a Dragonborn Fighter with Enlarged Breath can mark 25 by unleashing a...

Page 120 of the DMG says that NPCs count as a standard monster of their level. So your 1st level Rogue would be 100 XP. A 4th level Warlock is 175. A 10th level Fighter is 500. Etc, etc.

Each dragon type has rather distinct abilities, and how they utilize their ability to fly is generally dictated by how their flight can be used to make the best use of their different strengths and weaknesses. Blacks seem to prefer the ground, hiding in shadows and lurking in murky water to...

I don't think "in melee" has anything to do with the Fighter's ability to mark opponents. Heck, the Warlord Paragon Path "Knight Commander" can use a power to mark every enemy within 5 squares--that's a potential 120 enemies marked, and he's not even a marking specialist! But he's every bit as...

Seems to me he just likes making things difficult for everyone else. The Raven Queen is patient above all else. If it was truly the Paladin's teammate's time to die, there wouldn't be someone with the power to heal them 5 feet away. She wouldn't have granted him the powers of a Paladin if he...

If you read the newest Dragon article, "Dragonborn Ecology", it points out that Dragonborn are not reptiles. They are warm-blooded, and they do nurse their young in the first few months of life before their teeth grow in. The Dragonborn are draconic in nature, but they are not full dragons...

While there doesn't seem to be any set distinction for the sequence of the effects an attack does being applied, unless the attack specifically calls for them, we're left to use the sheer powers of logic and common sense. The feat is called "Lasting Frost", which, after hitting an opponent with...

Dragonborn look nothing like Lizardmen. :confused: In fact, about the only thing they have in common is scales. I don't know what art you're looking at, but a lizardman looks like a giant bipedal lizard, while a Dragonborn has distinctive draconic features. As for the gnome hate... there's not...

I'd say to keep in mind that dragons are incredibly intelligent, and chromatic dragons are evil and self-centered by nature. Even if the Blue is mildly appreciative, it's not going to follow the PCs around like some puppy. It would likely be with them only so long as the dragon saw the situation...

Actually, a good system is a system that accomplishes what it's designed to accomplish. 4th edition isn't trying to simulate a realistic economy, so the fact it doesn't is not a flaw. It's trying to give you a balanced and fun high-fantasy RPG. And it does that very well.

No. It's simply that Fighter powers geared towards those kinds of weapons use the associated stats either for extra damage or other effects. Also, the stats they mention are usually needed to take the feats related to improving those kinds of weapons (such as Heavy Blade Opportunity requiring a...
