[QUOTE="Reffy, post: 5644918, member: 6676309"] I have some questions I couldn't find in the players handbooks or the dungeon master guides. Maybe you could help me out. 1# I'm playing as DM with a monk in the group. The monk can, when he hits with certain attacks, give 5 vulnerable cold to an enemy. If the enemy has 15 resist cold, and he gets 5 vulnerable cold. How does that work? 2# About implements. Again, I use the monk as an example. Monks normally attack with their fists. However, you can choose implements for them, like daggers. If a monk uses daggers, are they stabbing/cutting instead of punching? I know that the flavor text doesn't adjust to the weapons/implements you have. The character builder does say that the monk is using his daggers for damage. 3# Some classes can use daggers as implements. Some of those daggers are jagged. Those daggers have a curved shape. When you stab someone with a jagged dagger, the curved shape will cause additional damage. This is translated in 4e as 'On a critical hit, target gains 10 ongoing damage. Save ends.' If a sorcerer uses a jagged dagger, and he critical hits with an acid orb attack. Does the 10 ongoing damage still applies? Since he didn't stab, I guess the jagged critical effect didn't work. Or is this too much realism interpreted in d&d? 4# Can a fighter mark an enemy he can't see? (Fighter is blinded or enemy is invisible.) What if the fighter can't see the enemy, but he knows it's there? (A PC can see the enemy, and he told the fighter where it is.) What about hunter's quarry, avengers oath etc? That is all I could think of right now. If anyone can help me with this, it will be appreciated. [/QUOTE]
