It's a bit maddening, but after extensive searches in the books, the wikis and the forums I cannot find any clear answer on whether multiple damage auras stack in this game. Last night, my game saw the party face off against multiple burning skeletons. One character began her turn with two of...

I'm a DM and my party has a human oracle that just leveled up from 3 to 4. As his favored class option, he chose this from the APG: "Oracle Add one spell known from the oracle spell list. This spell must be at least one level below the highest spell level the oracle can cast."...

I have combed the rulebook and I don't see the answer to this fringe case, but what's supposed to happen when a character is prone in a square that's occupied by an enemy, and that character wants to stand up? This happened to my character when he was rendered helpless by paralysis and then...

I'm actually here because I don't care for the Star Wars SAGA edition rules for attacking a held weapon in an attempt to disarm an enemy. I figured I'd look to 4E for an alternative, but after combing through the core rulebooks, I cannot find any rules in 4E for attacking objects or trying to...

The "Run" move action causes the character to suffer a -5 penalty to attack rolls until the start of his next turn. If you run twice in a turn, would you then suffer a -10 attack penalty until the start of your next turn? I would assume the answer is yes, since penalties stack unless they're...

In the Turathi Highborn paragon path, there's the following benefit: Kneel Before the Turathi (16th level): When you hit with an attack benefiting from your infernal wrath racial power, you also knock the target prone. Since the Warlock's Wrath feat replaces Infernal Wrath with something...

Hi there, I'm a long-time RPG player living in Fairfax, VA, and I'm looking to connect with other RPGers in Northern Virginia that might be interested in either a Star Trek (CODA or ICON) game or one of the two Warhammer 40K RPGs. Whether you're a player or a GM, I'd like to hear from you. I...

I noticed in the new, errata'd stealth rules that there's a -5 penalty to stealth checks for characters who move more than two squares in a move action. My own personal assumption is that the designers imagined a character walking three squares and thinking to themselves "this character is going...

I have a question about the Wizard's Sleep power. True or false: When a target falls unconscious because it failed its first save against the Sleep power, it will not awake up when it takes damage. I believe the answer is "True", because the rule that allows a creature to wake up after taking...

Picture, if you will, a band of heroes battling a Young Green Dragon. 19 squares away from the beastie is a Wizard. This Wizard casts Acid Arrow and hits. Kersplash, fizzz, ouch. On the opposite side of the Dragon from that Wizsard, and also adjacent to it, are two allies of this Wizard. The...
