Well, that'd be fixing an error with the CB, not a rules error. Not the same category of fail.

Well, no.  The CB accurately and correctly reflects the printed material here.  There's just some printed material that doesn't make a whole lot of sense.

The Infernal Prince theme feature power is Hellfire Heart which states "The enemy takes fire damage equal to 1+ your primary ability"

So if I am level 8 and have a 20 Dex (highest) does the power do 1+5 (Dex), or 1+9 (5 Dex + 4 from half level)?  

You only add your half-level modifier to ability checks, skill checks, and attack rolls.  It would be six damage.

Have what I hope is a simple question. I'm building a Pixie Warden. Using the Pixie "shrink" utility, I was wondering if I could shrink a superior weapon, like a mordenkrad. The compendium says "While shrunk, the target keeps its game statistics, such as damage dice and weight. A shrunken weapon, however, becomes an improvised one-handed weapon for a non-Tiny creature." However, when I choose the feat that allows me to purchase a mordenkrad, I cannot equip it. I'm sure the builder is thinking "dude, you're a pixie..." So I was wondering how I would be able to get by this and have the mordenkrad appear on all of my powers for "hit" and "damage" numbers. And, since we're starting out at Level 10, I'd like to update it to a Level 10 or 11 weapon...can that be done too? Or, as a pixie, am I only allowed to use weapons designated as "small"?

Thanks for any information. And Happy New Year (almost)! 

EDIT: Actually, I read further and found out that I need to choose a one-handed weapon, not two-handed, so I went with a Craghammer because of the Brutal 2 feature.  

The actual rule is that Pixies use shrunken weapons as if they were Small creatures.  Basically, after shrinking the weapon, you can use anything a Halfling or Gnome could use.

Halflings and Gnomes can't use Mordenkrads, so you can't either.

Thanks. The DM suggested against a Pixie, so I'm complying.

I do have another question. Is there any way for someone to wield a two-handed weapon in just one hand? I like the mordenkrad, but I'd also like a shield. Is there a feat I can take for this? If not, is there a penalty to attack? I think there was in Pathfinder or 3.5...maybe? Just thought if I could beef up the AC some. Again, appreciate any suggestions or information.
