1) If a sword mage uses his "I switch places with an ally - teleport" whilst caught in a net, would he be freed, and the ally unaffected - or would the ally take his place in the net ?


2) Where should I post to get peoples' feelings on this?


Thank you.

thanks for clearing that up!! much appreciated

i have one more question..does the turathi highborn extra dmg keep recurring if it is a sustained attk? such as stinking cloud?..




The extra damage is tied to a hit as well as tied to an attack via an action point. If there is no hit required for the damage, then there is no extra damage. So the zone based damage of a sustained stinky is definitely out. A sustained Fireball that you attack with is iffy... I would say that it does not get the extra damage unless you spend an action point to make the attack.

1) Dimensional Warp? The person starting in the net would definitely be free (provided they ended in a square outside of the net). I would rule that whoever switches places with the person caught in the net would themselves be caught in the net... seems like the flavor of the power would follow that.


2) This is the right board for these kinds of questions. You could start your own topic on it if you wanted more opinions.

hey, i have a question about the 'initiate of the faith' feat


it says once per day you canb use the clerics healing word power.


the power itself says you can use it twice per round. my thoughts are that this feat allows you to use the healing word power once per day, and the encounter you choose to use it you can cast it twice. then no more that day. this scales as you go higher in level. still never being able to use it in more than 1 encounter, bu tin that encounter you can begin to use it more often.


 


am i right?...


thanks for all the help!

Silly question, maybe my logic is faulty that is why I come to the gurus for an in-depth ruling.


 


Last night, during my game, I encountered a problem with a sword mage, this problem, as far as I know, is resolved, now the problem lies with other classes.


I understand that using an implement in battle will grant bonuses to attack and damage rolls, but here's the thing.


If a paladin makes a magical/divine based attack using a melee weapon, an example would be the lvl 1 at-will power Enfeebling Strike, would he recieve the weapon proficiency bonus on his axe because the damage is dealt with a melee weapon even though the attack states Charisma Vs Ac?  My silly logic says "Charisma?  No."  Because it works differently with swordmages.  Swordmages can use their weapons as an implement to channel magic through.  I would love it if someone could clarify on the subject before I make a mistake regarding powers and the bonuses stacked on the rolls.

The feat completely replaces the usage of the power. You can use it only one time per day normally (there are ways to recharge it...).

Yup. Any weapon keyword attack will gain the prof bonus to attack rolls. Stat vs Defense doesn't matter at all.

Your "silly logic", as you put it, is wrong.  Determining whether or not you get a proficiency bonus on an attack roll is as simple as looking at the keywords of the power.


If it says "Weapon", you get the weapon's proficiency bonus.


If it says "Implement", you do not get the proficiency bonus, even if you're using an Implement that is also a weapon.


The stat you're using doesn't matter.


Clearer?

Confused about Stealth?  Think "invisibility" means "take the mini off the board to make people guess?"  You need to check out The Rules Of Hidden Club.

PH1 pg. 274 gives the basic format for determining a power's attack roll: 1/2 your level + the stated ability modifier, plus any of the listed additional bonuses.


PH2 pg. 221 clarifies the keywords.  If the power has the Weapon keyword, you add the weapon's proficiency bonus to the attack rolls of that power.


In your example, a paladin has some powers with the Implement keyword and some with the Weapon keyword.  That is the determining factor of whether or not to include the weapon's proficiency bonus, not the ability the power uses.


Edit: Drat, ninjaed.  But at least I included page references.  Smile

Greetings, I have a doubt with Lightning Bolt and Chain Lightning:


- The caster needs line of effect and sight to the Primary Target. Does he need line of effect and/or sight to hit the Secondary and Tertiary Targets?


 


Thanks in advance.
