Wow. Clearly everyone here is only spouting their personal beliefs regarding the matter, rather than backing them up with clear rules or rulings. It is also clear that there is no rule specifically coming down on one side or the other. My suggestion; Get CustServ to answer if a dying...

I think my questions are; 1) can you add the cold keyword without the damage being cold? 2) do the feats that grant CA with cold key off of keywords or cold damage?

Is the cold trait (what is required to get the CA, right?) and the cold damage automatically linked? Can he have the cold trait added to the power without the power doing cold damage?

Doesn't that depend on the weapon? Because I'm pretty sure it's a free action to turn the frost damage off...

Bloodied Value: You are bloodied when your current hit points drop to your bloodied value or lower. Your bloodied value is one-half your maximum hit points (rounded down). Certain powers and effects work only against a bloodied enemy or work better. Now arguably, by a strict reading, you are...

Come to think of it, it might have been an insider playtest thing. Having skimmed through my Dragon pdfs I can't find them anywhere. The Character Builder has them (listed under Adventurer's Vault 2) if you've got that. Yeah. Sorry I can't be of more help...

I'm pretty sure you only need line of sight... Either way, I'd allow an eladrin rogue to do that if I was DMing.

It was a dragon article. A preview of Adventurer's Vault 2 if I recall... Orb of Sequestered Gossamer (+4, +5, +6) Orb of the Sequestered Boneyard (+4, +5, +6) Orb or the Sequestered Glacier (+4, +5, +6) Not sure which Dragon mag tho... sorry

Isn't this fixed by what Hybrid has to offer?

Don't get me wrong. I'm not saying that the Builder is to be used as a rulebook. What I am saying that the Builder should (in theory) be following the rules correctly. If you wonder about something, you can check the Builder and see what it says. Not once have I said that it's a...

Monk Playtest takes care of that...

Except one is a rules interpretation and the other is an error in the program. And for that matter, the same people made both the rules and the program (Wizards) They're interpreting their own rules. and the argument isn't; "character builder has a slot for holy symbols, therefore they...

I don't know how anyone could even imagine a slot available for the Holy Symbol could be a bug. It clearly isn't. I agree with the sentiment that Character Builder isn't necessarily the best source for information, but in this case it clearly proves that Holy Symbols have their own "item...

feats that are allowable to be taken multiple times always specifically indicate that this is the case. If the Hybrid Talent feat doesn't say that it can be taken multiple times it can't. That's not to say that it won't be the case in the future...

I was always under the impression that a mark isn't activated during blasts/bursts that also involve the marker. The hydra makes four seperate bite attacks. Here I could understand that the -2 applies to the three that don't target the marker. But a blast/burst is a single attack with...

I think it's the fact that you'd end up with negative modifiers on several rolls. At least with 4E point buy you can have no more than one 8... But I agree with you that it's generally disgruntlement due to noticably different scores that arises. One guy with a 6 and an 8 might look at the...

I'm not sure exactly what you're after here, but I'm gonna put in my two cents regarding rolling stats vs point buy. (having done both over the years) 1) Point Buy. The nice thing about point buy is that everyone has an equal footing. No one is noticably more/less powerful. 2) Rolled Stats...

I think my reasoning is based on the Skeleton's immediate explosion being a Reaction. Had it been an interrupt the skeleton would explode if it "was about to take damage reducing it to 0 hp or fewer." But since it explodes after "taking damage reducing it to 0 hp or fewer" the rule of...

Actually, I'd argue that the hit: line from Turn Undead would have to be fully resolved before the Skeleton could react to the damage it took.

I believe you are correct.
