Good on paper, bad in play.

I'm pretty sure it's been clarified somewhere by WotC (wracking brain to remember where though) that you can do a double move. It simply reduces your move 'score' to 2.

Which also meant you could run, effectively doing a full round of actions to move up to eight squares.

heh. I'd believe that when I see it from one of the designers (I certainly wouldn't believe it from their customer support!)

As it stands, I'm happy with the reading that goes 'max 2 move under any circumstances'. The examples you give above would make it almost worthless in most circumstances, surely.

Yeah, you're right. It totally doesn't sound like I'm asking for people to post things they thought were good but they decided weren't as good as they thought.

What I should've done was said, "Hey guys, I think Boundless Endurance sucks! What do you think?" Then people would've posted examples of powers they thought were cool on paper, but not in play.

To make things easier for everyone, this topic is now about Boundless Endurance.

This topic is about powers you thought were good or bad, but turned out to be different IN YOUR OPINION.

Actually, what you said at the end of your post was "Discuss", not "What are some powers you thought were good but ended up not liking?".

Discuss leads us to believe you want us to discuss the power that you just told us about. The other clearly states your message. Please don't get so angry when it was your misuse of the english language that caused the community proceed as it did. Moreso, they were being nice about it and discussing the power as opposed to being rude and flaming.

I agree, everyone was being very civil about the discussion, please don't get upset with people for discussing it with you.

The debate rages on on that one. I think CS has gone both ways on it, and we don't have a FAQ ruling on it.

I hope we get one soon, I can't think of a more frequently asked question than that right now.

That would be because I've edited the original post to change this thread to be a discussion about Boundless Endurance.

You have come late to a party and accused the host of not supplying you with alcohol, when the original invitation said "BYO".

And that's why I have issues with post editing.
Personally, if I ever edit, I like to keep the original post intact, and put (edit: *) wherever I make changes.

It sounds like there is a pretty good consensus around the ability of a fighter to activate Boundless Endurance when they are not yet bloodied; but just to provide further evidence, there is an example of a fighter doing specifically this on PHB p294 under "Damage and Healing in Action".
