Ya, the Wilderlands (corrected the typo in the OP) setting seems to be material almost designed for this kind of stuff. That might be by go-to material since it was designed for DnD unlike Harn (which I have lots of material), but there isn't a lot of dungeon-crawl-type-fantasy material in.

I'm looking to start a Lewis & Clark style hex-crawl campaign where the adventurers are going to explore the Great Unknown (to them). Are there any published adventures (in stores or somewhere like rpgnow.com) that were built along this line? I don't have a ton of free time so poaching from the...

Almost every time I see the phrase RAW invoked, its in an attempt to bypass or ignore the RAI of the ruie. That is to say, to invalidate the common interpretation with a strictly literal one. Can you imagine trying to play DnD with Amelia Beledia? /shudder

I think the OP-ness of Seal of Binding has already been established. =)

One last followup before bed: Context is king in English. For example, I can call a male dog a "boy dog" and everyone would know what I mean. I can call my son a "boy" and everyone would know what I mean. If the dog and my son are next to see other and I tell you to throw a ball to the boy...

I don't think that is true. Consider the following: Seal of Binding on Hopeless_Foe_01 Push/pull/slide/whatever foe into pit of lava Hopeless_Foe_01 dies. That doesn't seem absurd. If they wanted to make the target immune to all damage, they could've said just that.

I do believe the target would take the damage from the Wall of Fire. By extension, something like Fiery Rebuke wouldn't add to the Wall of Fire since you're not hitting. The damage just *is*. Now I need to scroll up and see if I've reversed myself anywhere.... =) (edit) I don't think I've...

The Elemental Maw is an Attack. It is used by the Wizard to make an attack. The attack is over. The Attack is still in effect. An Attack can attack more than once and can be used to make more than one attack (e.g. Flaming Sphere) I really can't explain it in any other way. If you want to know...

Good question. Of course it says change the damage type dealt by the next arcane power you use to necrotic. Not, change the damage type dealt by the next attack. I would make the Hit and the Effect necrotic. I would make a Wall of Fire deal necrotic as well via the same principle.

OK! So lets see... Its an attack, check. Against reflex, check. So you Evade and don't take the 1/2 damage nor do you grant CA, check. I think we're all in agreement so far? So the attack is over and you are in the AoE on your turn and blam! you take 1d10 and grant CA. Sounds right to me. Ask...

Missed that, ok. Doesn't change my answer. See below. Well, actually the *power* says its an attack right in the header. I'm missing something: If you Evade the Elemental Maw, you aren't pulled. If you aren't pulled, how are you taking the Effect?

Amen, Mistwell. That seems to be the pattern here and on the WotC boards.

The attack was avoided. If you walk or are moved into the Effect, you're gonna eat the damage. So what you *really* meant to ask CSR was: Does the Effect of a Power still apply to someone that used Evasion to avoid damage from the Power's attack. To which I'm pretty sure they will say "Yes, you...

Umm. Wow. So lemme guess. If you miss with Evard's Black Tentacles, Minions are immune to the sustain minor too? Haha.

What's "wrong" with Cloud of Daggers?

Seems right to me. Elemental Maw is an area attack against your reflex and the attack roll missed. Evasion says you don't take the miss damage. (As an aside, shouldn't that create a zone...? Maybe they only Zone things that you sustanin...)

Well, it says [Class] Attack. It can deal damage. And CSR said it was an attack. It seems pretty straightforward and internally consistent, no? That is, the caster isn't attacking you, but the wall is. That's why it deals damage and doesn't use your ability mods. (more edit) I think if there...

And which [Class] Attacks do you believe are not Attacks? Just a single power will do for now.

Well, what power do you believe is an Attack that isn't a [Class] Attack?

Wall of Fire attacks, but is not an attack. Probably what he meant to say. Either way, ask him what happens if you drop the target in lava. Aren't you really just trying to determine if the target is invulnerable to damage?
