Might as well start the other thread that I'm known for... I'll just cut'n'paste the notes from the other one

The purpose of this thread is to serve as a catch-all for minor questions or mundane rules queries that don't really warrant a new thread here at the CharOp boards (and thus in a way, hopefully reduce the clutter of redundant threads). If you have a more detailed question about a character build or certain rulesets, etc, then I suggest posting a new thread in the appropriate forum to get a more proper response.

All newcomers and regulars alike are welcome to ask questions, and I encourage all the CO residents to do their best to answer them (because you have to admit, we're all pretty much the resident rule monkeys here at the D&D boards).

When asking a question, preface it with a Q## where ## is the next number according to whatever the last question was.

When answering a question, preface it was A## which obviously corresponds to the question you're answering (or quote the question when appropriate).

The Pact Blade is described at page 235:

"Pact Blade Level 3+
Warlocks favor this wickedly sharp blade.
Lvl 3 +1 680 gp Lvl 18 +4 85,000 gp
Lvl 8 +2 3,400 gp Lvl 23 +5 425,000 gp
Lvl 13 +3 17,000 gp Lvl 28 +6 2,125,000 gp
Weapon: Light Blade (usually daggers and sickles)
Enhancement: Attack rolls and damage rolls
Critical: +1d6 damage per plus
Property: This blade functions as a warlock implement,
adding its enhancement bonus to attack rolls and damage
rolls for warlock powers that use implements.
Property: When a creature you have cursed with your
Warlock’s Curse makes a melee attack against you,
deal damage to the creature equal to the pact blade’s
enhancement bonus.
Special: You do not gain your weapon proficiency bonus to
the attack roll when using a pact blade as an implement.

A1: Any light blade can be enchanted as a Pact Blade with serves as both a magic weapon and a warlock implement. See PHB pg. 235

Q2: If a character charges a Kobold Dragonshield, does the Kobold get to shift before the attack because of Dragonshield tactics? The power states the the kobold gets to shift one square if a enemy moves into an adjacent square. Does the charge count as a move and does the shift happen before or after the attack?

I can't find anything that states you need a hand free to cast wizard powers. Can you multiclass into wizard and cast spells while holding a sword and board?

Second question: Combat Challenge reads, ". . . whenever a marked enemy that is adjacent to you shifts or makes an attack that does not include you, you can make a melee basic attack against that enemy as an immediate interrupt." Combat Superiority reads, "An enemy struck by your opportunity attack stops moving . . ." Am I correct is saying that a marked enemy that shifts away provokes a melee basic attack but not an opportunity attack, and therefore does not stop if you hit it?

Q 4: I can't find any way to make a weapon do more damage every hit (like the olds flaming weapons and similars) other then just the Enhancement bonus (from +1 to +6). There is anything other then this to make a weapon that deals more damage on hit then a normal one?

Q5: I don't have the exact wording handy, but the arcane implement mastery for wands says that you can apply a bonus to an attack roll when you use it. Since you roll individual attack rolls for each target in an area attack or can you apply the bonus to each target in the area?

Thanks for the help in advance.

Q2: No. Charge is a standard action, thus not a move action. Therefore the Kobold Dragonshield can't use "Dragonshield Tactics".

Thats a very literal interpretation of the word "move". In this interpretation any power or exploit that allowed moving, such as the Rogue's Deft Strike (which allows the rogue to move 2 squares prior to the attack) wouldn't trigger the Dragonshield Tactics either, since the power is a Standard Action.

I would say anytime there is any action that involves moving into an adjacent square of a kobold dragonshield, its Dragonshield Tactics ability would trigger.
