I just completed another set of creature standies based on the critters from Famine in Far-Go. You can download them from Google docs here. Kerry

I know a lot of games have you resolve an autofire attack with multiple attack rolls at a penalty - and it is reasonably 'realistic,' I suppose. The point of autofire, though, is to increase your chance of hitting at least once as much (or more) as it is to possibly hit more than one target. -5 is a very stiff penalty in 4e. If you must have a penalty, -2 might be more reasonable.

I hope these are simple questions.
1) The rules state you can 'trade down' actions, like convert a standard action to a move action. Does this mean you can actually take 2 move actions in your turn? Seems like it would make running (+2 to move) kind of pointless.
2) Attacks from a mount. I read the rider grants combat advantage to enemies, and the rider gets -2 to attack. I always thought mounted attackers get some advantage in fighting from the high ground, is there any bonus for the mounted attacker?

Yes

With running, you can still make two move actions, both with +2 movement.
I read the rider grants combat advantage to enemies, and the rider gets -2 to attack.
Where did you read this? Mount rules can be found at the beginning of this thread.

That was in D&D 3e. 4e does not have that rule.

Ah, I misinterpreted the mount rule "Mount attacks: -2 penalty while mounted" as mounted attacker gets the penalty.
Also, according to page 76 on the Other Gear list, under Horse, riding:
"You grant combat advantage to all enemies while you're on the horse."
Maybe this would be different for a "trained" battle mount (like a warhorse or battlecat or whatever).
I was just really surprised that there is no clear advantage to attacking while mounted, although I guess the "charge rule" under mount rules is one bonus. I haven't played D&D since 1st edition so 3rd edition isn't familiar to me either.
Thanks so much for the answers!

Note that having your attacks and the mount's move is benefit enough. Add to it that you may choose the origin square for your attacks on a large mount and it just gets better!

I am a new DM in my very first game using Gamma World. One of my players is a doppelganger. We are curious if the doppleganger's clone using ammo counts towards the using a gun more than once per encounter for the character. I saw in a previous post that a clone using an encounter power counted as the main character using it. Has there been an official ruling in this area?

At present, you will not find official rulings on anything.
Given that this action would allow the player to find his gun every round with no loss of ammo, I would personally say no. But it's really not that bad compared to some other origin at-wills, sooooooooo...
