I use RFP at my table to imply removed from play.

My House Rules

Cryptic Commander: a Tiefling Wizard|Warlord - Arcane Wayfarer - Planeshaper that focuses on controlling every creature in an encounter.

Feyknight: A Half-Elf Knight - Gladiator Champion - Marshall of Letherna build that uses Eldritch Strike and the White Lotus Riposte feats to create a decent catch-22 with his mark aura.

Novamancer: a Wizard/Swordmage - Malec-Keth Janissary - Radiant One that specializes in area damage, somewhat item dependent but is capable of massive damage.

the Epic Crit-Fisher: Avenger/Ranger-PMC-Eternal Seeker with a 2,560 damage crit-fishing nova.

Eldritch Slayer: A Slayer - Kulkor - Destined Scion that uses a similar trick to the Knight, combined with Kulkor for some decent DPR.

Polearm Seeker|Fighter: A Seeker|Fighter/Psion - Kensei - Destined Scion build that uses Polearm Momentum to not be super bad.

Generic Runepriest: A generic type Runepriest/Fighter - Hammer of Vengeance - Destined Scion

I think taking some props from MC-Drowbanes Nova handbook on the definition of Nova and the differences between Encounter and Daily nova would be useful, as many of the top tier builds calculate one or both of these novas.

As an aside, I too support this effort Valenkosh. Props!

 The only one of your terms I did not know for sure was OPT (OPT = optimization?).




OPT = Once Per Turn.

In the entry for RC, you have it as DDI's online compendium, which is incorrect.  The Rules Compendium was the updated rules collection printed with Essentials, containing the up to date version of all the rules.  In that WoTC has avoided errataing anything in the RC, it's generally the most reliable reference for the basic rules of the game.  The DDI compendium, while more useful for looking many things up quickly, is often inaccurate.

I just had a forum discussion with someone who didn't know what ping-pong meant, so I suppose that would be a good addition. Possibly also BS for BladeSinger, and TO for theoretical optimization.

AFAIK Blaster is not just a damage build, but a ranged and implement-using damage build. I think defining "debuff" as "weaken" is confusing, because "weaken" has an explicit in-game meaning. I thought HTH means "hope that helps"? I've never heard people use it to refer to that warlock power.

TBH I've never heard of the terms Baladin, Banish, Imposer, OAction, OAttack, or Kicker before. Are you sure they're common enough to list here? Most threads I've seen use "rider" for what is listed as "kicker" here, whereas "kicker" is a MtG term.

Awesome feedback, everyone! I need to leave now to drive a 12-hr road trip, but I will update this later tonight (central time) to incorporate the suggestions and corrections mentioned in the last several posts. Thanks!

I've seen OP used for Over Powered; ie, that power is OP, it should be nerfed
