For those of you on the side of slots counting toward mundane as well as magical items, would you allow a character to wear a non-magical necklace/pendant and a non-magical cloak at the same time? Both items, when magical, take up the same 'item slot', so under your rulings about non-magical...

That would be my rule on how this situation pans out.

Here's a question ... Would you let the optimized elven Archer-Ranger with his 20 dexterity (at 1st level) use that dexterity exclusively for all of his attacks, whether melee or ranged? If not, then you shouldn't allow the same thing to be done with strength. If you don't see a problem with...

As far as I am concerned, that is the way the rules are written, or at least intended. Except, of course for the 'trained only' part', which is a damn good idea. In my opinion, there are two facets of stealth. The first is where a character is actively trying to hide, and the second is where a...

I can totally understand why you would want to keep one Action Point in reserve (typically the initial one you receive after an extended rest), but what purpose would be served by keeping any extra AP that you will undoubtedly accumulate throughout the day? They have no other uses outside of an...

That was basically my point in a nutshell. :)

True, but the text describing two-handed use is only in the weapon section. If there is no rule denying Halflings the use of the Staff as an implement, then it is not at all ambiguous. If they could not normally use the Staff Implement, the rules would definitely mention that fact. Since the...

The only 'evidence' for two-handed wielding comes from the weapon section of the book. How then do you explain the Halfling conundrum I posted earlier? A quarterstaff is a two-handed weapon. Halflings cannot wield two-handed weapons, yet they are not barred in any way from wielding a staff as...

The point isn't whether it is supposed to be useful every encounter (Displacement or Spider Climb are not always useful in every encounter). The point is that as you describe it, it is designed specifically not to be usable every encounter (even though Displacement might not be useful, it is...

I would have thought that if Halflings were barred from using the Staff as an Implement, it would have been stated somewhere. Being that it is not, and therefore Halflings can indeed wield the Staff as an Implement (even though it can also be used as a quarterstaff, but a quarterstaff itself...

Isn't the teleport limited to 5 squares (or 25 feet)?

That's not necessarily true at all. Give the Two-Weapon Ranger Plate with it's +8. Give the Archer-Ranger Hide at +3 and a Dexterity of 20 for +8 At Epic, with Godplate giving the Two-Weapon Ranger +14 (+ magic), the Archer will have Elderhide at +5 and his Dexterity of 28 (or even 30)...

No, most two-weapon Rangers pretty much have to buy those armor feats, because with their main focus elsewhere, their Dexterity isn't likely to stay on a par with the Archer-Ranger, and therefore their AC will suffer. I wouldn't necessarily call that a plus. But unfortunately they do have...

I would really love to see a couple more archery-oriented feats make an appearance in the near future.

I prefer the following build for an (elven) Archer-Ranger ... Str 10 -> 12 Con 11 -> 13 Dex 20 -> 28 (+9) Int 10 -> 12 Wis 16 -> 24 (+7) Cha 8 -> 10 + Demigod bonuses in Dexterity and Wisdom.

Tiger's Reflex is a Daily Power, not a Utility. ;)

I never at any time asked for a 'Daily-but-multiple-use-per-day' Power. I stated that it seemed to be more fitting as a Daily Power (usable once a day as normal), being that as an Encounter Power, it is not really usable every encounter. As for your assertion about using it every encounter...

I love my elf!

My point is that it shouldn't really be an Encounter Power if it is not actually possible for it to be used each and every encounter.

Just seems to me that if it works the way you describe (and I'm not necessarily saying it doesn't), it would be more fitting as a Daily Power instead of an Encounter Power that can't actually be used every encounter.
